The popular conception of CONVEX
sion is just as f1imsy, just as shallow,
just as inadequate as that. The
trouble with people is that they mis-
take the beginning for the end.
A man goes along life's pathway
without any special thought about
the future. He comes to a point
where his attention is arrested and
directed to this most important mat
ter. He concludes that he would
rather spend eternity in heaven than
in the other place. He asks God to
save him. He says. ''God put some
thing in my soul. and 1 was convert

It is this conception of salvation that
lies at the foundation of most death

conception OF salvation that lies at
the bottom of the stand that so many

There is no hope for the salvation
of the human soul in any cult. an
cient or modern: in any creed. of the
ages past and gone or the age that
now is; in ritualism or. mere church
membership, for to be a member of
a church may be one thing and to be
a live christian another thing. There
is hope for the soul only in God.
"There is none other name under
Heaven given among men. whereby
we must be saved" 81 am the Lord,
there is no God beside me- s'Look
unto Me. and be ye saved, all the
ends of the earth: for am God. and
there is none else." I have dealt with
the last clause of the text; let me call
your attention now to the first clause
"Look unto Me-" In the Hebrew it
has the sense or force of-turn unto
Me: lcok-turn unto Me. That is,
be converted-turn unto the, Lord
your God.
The noted Boston philosopher and
lecturer makes use of an illustration
dealing with astronomy: ''There is
produced in telescope an image OF
a star. There is produced in a soul
an image of God. When does the
image of the star start up in the
chamber of the telescope? Only when
the lenses are clear and rightly ad.
lusted. and when the axis of vision in
the tube is brought into exact coin.
cidence with the line of the rays OF
light from the star. When does the
image of God, or the inner sense OF
pardon and peace, spring up in the
human soul? Only when the facul.
ties OF the soul are rightly adjusted in
relation to each other. and the will
brought into coincidence with Gods
Will. How much is mans work, and
how much is the work of the LIGHT
Man adjusts the lenses and the tube

PHOENIX. ARIZONA. MAY 1T, 1908
OUR GUESTS OF YESTERDAY.

Nothing could have been more gratl- flying to The Republican than the ready response of its friends in Phoenix and the country to the invitation to assist in its house warming yesterday after noon and last night. In the course of the day and evening hundreds inspect ed the new quarters of the paper and learned more in half an hour than We could have told them in half year of the progress The Republican has been making.
 Our visitors may have justly felt a personal and proprietary interest in the glittering and whirring machinery and the new building. It was the gen. erous patronage and loyalty of the wis itors and others like them that have made these things possible and have built up a paper of which they and the whole community may take just ifiable pride.
 The visit of last night will result in bringing The Republican and its friends into still more intimate rela- tions than they have hitherto enjoyed. vet the friendliness which has been of a long range character has been mu- tuaIly beneficial. How much more beneficial ought this still closer friend Illness be-
 We trust that the visit of yfsterday and last night will not be the last, now that the ice has been browen. It may be a long time before The Repub- lican will have another housewarming but it will always gladly welcome the guests of yesterday, in a body or sing ly, 365 days in the year. When the door is not standing ajar the latch string is hanging. out.

PROTESTS AGAINST FIR
 
FREIGHT

PROTESTS AGAINST FREIGHT
 RATE ADVANCE.
 Representatives of more than 300 Commercial organizations met at Chi cago on Friday to protest against the proposed advance in freight rates. An agreement vas reached to submit the question to the interstate commerce to be absolute and the courts to be de- prived Of the power Sf review. The railroads have so far not fully decided on an advance of rates. They regard that as an alternative of a reduction of wages and point to their monthly reports of earnings and nearly 100000 idle freight cars as proof that some thing will have to be done.
 The interesting point of the com merciaI organizations proposal is the elimination of the right of court re- view which was inserted into the Hep burn bill against the most strenuous opposition. We do not see how it could be set aside in this case without an agreement by the railroads to stand by the decision of the interstate com merce commission, an agreement into which the roads could hardly be ex- pected to enter if they fully reach conclusion that !t IS better to advance rates than to reduce wages.
 This, however. is a matter in which we of the Salt river valley have only an academic interest. We have se- cured concessions in rates from the former disadvantageous rates and we have also the promise of still more important concessions.
 A general advance in rates against which the commercial organizations of the country are protesting would still leave us the comparative advantage which we have gained.
