NO ELEVATED STRIKE,
Car Men Above Ground in Chicago VIII
Not Go Out in Sympathy with
Surface Lines

CHICAGO, H., Aug. At the
threatened strike on the surface street
car lines of Chicago takes place, the
public may still depend on the four
elevated lines. The heads Of the
elevated lines declared that their en-
pIoyes are working under a perfectly
satisfactory agreement which has a
year more to run.
THE effect of a strike on the sur
face lines said Mason B. Starring,
president of the Northwestern ele-
waited, would be merely to increase
the traffic on the elevated lines.
There is not the slightest chance of
our men going out in sympathy with
the surface men,
There are nearly 1000 miles of sur
face lines in Chicago, however, and a
tie-up, despite all that the elevated
roads could do, would entail great in
convenience, particularly in many sec
tons not reached by the overhead sys-
tenn. In addition the strike would cost
the city millions of dollars in loss of
business. Hope of averting the strike
is still held out.

sights are impressive beyond the pow
er Of any words adequately to de-
scribe. From below, as we approach
in the boat, we gaze upward with
awe at the circling swarm of the
birds, note the rows and companies
upon the lodges, listen to the screams
OF the birds and the din of the surf,
which pounds away ceaselessly at the
cliff. Our boat is .plunging, in every
thing there is motion, the height of
the rocky wall is appalling, and the
very universe seems to reel and stag
ger. And when, either by climbing
the ladder or being hoisted up by the
steam winch, we gain the summit
and look down, the scene is equally
impressive. From some promontory
OF the cliff we gaze down upon hosts
of birds upon their eggs. Some of
the eggs we can see as the owners
launch forth and scale swiftly down
ward and circle out over the ocean to
join the ever-circlinC throng.

SERMONETTES.

Power in speech comes from patience
in silence.
Lies always get ripe before we are
ready for them.
Men seek honors often because they
have lost honor.
Forgetting self is the secret of find
ing satisfaction in life.
Sorrow is heavens school, where we
learn the alphabet of love.
A man is to be known by his goal
rather than by his geneaIogy.
The best evidence of loving heaven
is endeavor to bring it here.
It is easy for the man who amounts
to nothing to give himself away.
No man is uncommonly good who
does not help to make goodness COM
mon.
One of the blessings Of being needy
is that there are always some who are
more so.
Some think they are standing by the
faith when they are but frozen in their
tracks.
Many a man shows his faith in the
wisdom of his god by offering dime
to cover a dollar sin.
It is no use prescribing the gospel
to a sick world unless you commend
it by a healthy life.

COMING INTO CHRISTIAN LIFE.
By Bishop S. NJ. Merrill

In studying different styles of ex-
perience the various temperaments OF
people must be taken into the account
as well as their training and habits;
for all these play important parts in
determining what they will do and
how they will proceed in seeking God,
and coming into the Christian life, as
well as in advancing to the higher
states of grace. Many men of many
minds" and men Of extremely differ
ent environments, are to be met and
rescued and transformed-clean
and built up in the likeness Of God.
The gospel, if divine, must have provi-
sions and be sufficiently flexible to
meet every condition and to fit the
peculiarfties and idiosyncrasies Of
every individual. 1t is therefore I'M
wise to expect that all will receive the
grace of God in the same way. while
there is folly in supposing that by any
possible constraint everyone can be
brought to measure 10 to one given
type Of Christian experience, either in
its earlier or later stages. Diversity
marks the work Of God from met
piency to consummation. The founda-
ton principles of redemption and the
essential terms of salvation are al
ways the same; but in the revelations
Of saving power In the soul, and in all
the steps Of progress following the IN
duction into Christ, there are innum-
o,;o J..
experience that is personal and unique.
From all this the fact is readily de-
ducible that 1t IS improper to make
any mans experience a standard or a
model for the experience of other peo-
pie. Christ is the model man. HIS
active life as a man was perfect, and
to be initiated; but He never expert
enced the cleansing or washing from
sin which our sanctiffcation implies.
He was not regenerated or sanctifed
as sinners must be: and therefore He
never illustrated in anything He did
or suffered the process of passing from
sin to holiness He declared and lived
I'D to the standard of moral purity
necessary for our complete union with
Himself, and made the way possible,
so that everyone, each with His per
sonal characteristics and His indfvid-
ual environments may come up to the
full measure of duty and privilege
without in the least ceasing to be him
self. The quiet man of phlegmatic
temperament can reach the high stand
ard. and continue quiet; while the
man of impulsive nature will rise, per
haps more rapidly, to the same stand
ard, but with almost superhuman emo
tons and marvellous demonstrations.

spiration- A man of honor in bust

est, whose work is up to standard.
is such q rock.
The influence of his character is
not confined merely to those who come
IN contact with him. The shadow
of his influence reaches TO multitudes
whom he does not know, who observe
him, take notice Of his integrity and
uprightness and know thereby that
honor is not yet dead among men
and are encouraged in their own place
and sphere to initiate his example.
Such, likewise, is the influence of a
noble woman in the social life of the
day, in the midst of the scandal Of
the time, surrounded by the malicious
gossip Of a community. for gossip is
usually malicious and has little con-
nection with the truth.
Such woman puts the vicious to
silence, the scandal-monger to shame
and renews our faith in the innate
purity of womanhood. Her influence
reaches far beyond the circle OF her
acquaintance. She is as a great rock
in a weary land"
The great names in history viewed
from this point Of view are great
rocks Of safety, refreshment and in
spiration in a toiling, struggling
world. Serene and immovable, like
giant peaks, they live their lives in a
higher atmosphere, in the midst OF
petty, self-seektng, mean, ambitious
and cringing selfshness of their day.
In their presence moral distinctions.
which in the hazy atmosphere in
which most of us live become OBJ
scured and blunted, grow clear and
plain.
The grace of God can make us rocks
Of influence in the midst Of circles
in which we live. Consider st. Peter,
the man of rock" whose name Simon
was changed to Peter (Which in the
Greek means rock). Originally vacil-
lating, unstable and impulsive in dis
position, Christ saw in him qualities
that were noble and rock1ike, and
named him what through His grace
he would become, Peter, the man Of
rock" SO with all of US. We can
overcome faults and faillngs in our
lives; there can be developed in us
new graces and virtues unknown to
us, so that standing four square and
immovable in the midst of the IN
toward influences Of this world, we.
too, may be rocks of refuge, encour-
agement and inspiration, casting a
shadow of blessed influence upon null
titudes in this weary world.

SHADOW OF GREAT ROCK"
By Rev. Dewitt L. Pelto

AS the shadow of a great rock in a
weary land-Isaiah xxi. 2.
The metaphor expressed in these
words was very vivid to the jewellers
in Palestine. The sun during the dry
season blazes down day after day IN
ceasingly without a cloud to veil its
brightness. Vegetation withers and
springs and streams go dry. Travel
ers push along listlessly in the parch-
ing heat.
Yet, as in al tropical countries. the
heat is not oppressive in the shade.
out Of the direct rays of the sun
Such 4 shade may be found 'in the
shadow of the great rock" which in
mountainous sections juts out from
time TO time from the surrounding
barrenness. Such great rocks are al
ways most welcome to the traveller
In the long shadows cast by them
there is refreshment and rest. Often
a spring of purest water gushes from
the rock. Vegetation fourishes in the
rocks shadow. There is safety, too,
in the caverns Of the rock against
the sudden attacks of marauders. So
David sang, Thou art my rock and
my hiding place" Safety, refresh
ment and inspiration are found Gin
the shadow of great rock in a
weary land"
An honorable man in business, in
politics, in social life, is~a great rock
IN the circle in which he moves, af-

The Force of Habit

One Of the campers had done some
thing peculiarly idiotic, and the dean
said, Dick reminds me of Thomas
colt"
What about Thomas colt?" asked
Dick, cheerfully.
Why" the dean responded readily
where I lived in Maine when I was
boy an old man named Thomas
raised horses. He once put out to
pasture a colt, which had been fed
from its birth in a box stall and wa
tered at the trough in the yard.
The pasture lay across small riv-
er, and in the middle of the day the
colt swan the stream to go up to the
barnyard for a drink of water"
