PROMISES

Commissioner Freeland today
dug up the contract which the city
made with the Hartman railway
In July, 1907, by which the COM
pany agreed to give the city the
property necessary for the OPEN
ing of jefferson avenue to Center
street.
The contract provided for two
years notice.
In July 1908 City Engineer RAJ
leigh had completed plans for the
new street and notified the COM
pany.
Relying on the agreement the
city went ahead and condemned
property to open this street. The
people were taxed with ASSESS
ments for $4,000 to pay for the
condemnation.
Was Never Mentioned. I
And now the company repudi-
ates its agreement with the city
and says 1t will come through lie
the city will give it 2100 feet
of East 22nd on the tideflats
worth nearly 100000 in cash.
This was never mentioned In the
original agreement.
The agreement was signed by
William Crooks, president and w.
X. Litzenberg, secretary of the
Hartman company and was taken
by the city in good faith.
The city was merely to allow
the road to run in over 18th, 2Ist,
and 23rd streets and vacate a
couple OF little alleys and East k
street for freight sheds.
But the company changed its
plans for terminals and now does
not want to put viaducts over
10Th, 21st and 23rd street and
because of the plans 1t apparently
Is trying to get out of its signed
agreement with the city to turn
over the Jefferson avenue prop
erty or else compel the city to
give 1t 100000 worth of tideflat
property to get 1t.
Ruined Fire House.
Commissioner Woods this
morning said that the railway
company had ruined the Tacoma
avenue fire house by blasting In
the tunnel. 1t is likely the city
may go after them for damages
and also to compel the filling up
of this tunnel If it is not going
to be completed.
This grab game of trying to
get 22nd street for what already
belongs to. the city, however,
promises not to go.
IL the company wants 22nd
street IL will have to come
through with the property for 1t.

Pauline says she was introduc-
ed to the artists friends as his
fiancee.
After his appearance in Berlin,
the tenor wrote: "My Bohemian
life Is not fitted to bring us to-
gether. I have now had time to
reflect and want to part good
friends. I shall always retain a
pleasant impression of you and am
disposed to make good any loss

employment"
AT this point Caruso tried to

ESSAY on Comets.

fact, this rear appendix is about all

firm that there is very little in the
comets head, and what there is Of it
is liable to fly to pieces and disappear
in space at almost any time. The old
earth lately experienced the sensation
of passing through the comets tail.
Denison people also experienced the
same thing. While the comet makes
quite spectacle in the heavens, yet
it is easily seen through with the max
ed eye. 1t sheds very little light and
is fiickerless.
Various opinions have been advanc-
ed as to the makeup of the comet.

the workers were directed to each
wear his sword, and be ready to re-
|spond 70 the call of the bugle at any
time. The man with the trumpet was
at Nehemiah's side at all times and
surprises were prepared for. The les
|son verses and the ~entile chapter tell.
ing about this are very interesting.
The Pilgrim fathers and the early
settlers of our country generally
adopted the tactics Cf Nehemiah in
tne settlement days when hostile In
dams, the French or Spaniards, were
liable to. rush in at any time.
1t, is told of General Thomas, the
Rock of Chicamagua, that he urged
his men to "Trust in God and keep
their powder dry" and this was the
plan Nehemiah acted upon. He knew
God was ready to help his side, but
nevertheless he used every huma npre-
caution to repel his enemies and pros
per the work in hand. There is no
promise that God will step in to do the
supernatural for those who make no
endeavor for themselves. The great
apostle, Paul, in Cor. 16, 13, calls out
70 christians, Watch ye, stand fast in
the faith, quit you like men, be
strong" In another place he calls the
christian life a race which all should
try to win, and again he tells of the
spiritual armor which one should
nave to combat the world.
One need not be surprised that a
work like that of Nehemiah, which
was begun by prayer, should succeed.
There is need for more things for God
to be undertaken, after days and
nights OF earnest prayer, and then the
best OF intelligent action in pushing
it along. There is need Of the feeling
that christians are Gods servants and
that He will prosper them. With this
view of the case there will be courage.
life. animation, determination to sue
coed, difficulties will be overcome and
all enemies vanquished or made TO
keep their distance because OF the
showing that Gods people mean bust
ness, and the safest place is out of the
line OF opposition.

December 3. Nehemiah Rebuilds
the Walls of Jerusalem.-Neh. 4.
The scene Of our lesson this week is
ut Jerusalem. The time is some $50
years before Christ was born. In the
lesson of last week We heard about
Nehemiah who was the cup bearer of
..4e king at Babylon, and how he; was
moved by sod to determine to help
his fellow Jews at Jerusalem. It will
be remembered that Nehemiah made
= great prayer, confessing to God the
wrong doings of his people, and ask
ing tor their pardon. Nehemiah felt
confidence that his prayers would be
answered, and he spoke to his king,
telling of what he wanted to do.
The king believed in Nehemiah
made him the governor over Jerusa-
establishing the city. Nehemiah went
TO Jerusalem in royal state as the gov
ernor. When there he made a per
city and decided as to what it was best
to do. He then called together the
chief of Jews and made known to them
what was in heart. These replied:
LET us arise and build" and with this
u SLdFI WAS IQaue.
No matter how good cause may be,
there will always be those to oppose
it. and Nehemiah found his way beset
by those who did not want the walls
and gates strengthened and the wor-
ship of the true God renewed. In the
case before us the Opposers were
named Sanballet, Tobiah and Goshen.
'Anese were men of much power for
mischief and they called a halt, ridi-
Culing the project of building the walls
OF -.e city. Note what Nehemiah an
swered them: "The God of heaven, He
will prosper, therefore we His serv-
ants will arise and build" 1t is well
TO stop the narrative to speak about
the faith in God shown here by Nehe-
miah. He felt that he and his people
we're doing what God wanted done, and
therefore the project must prosper.
The lesson comes to us this day that
when we engage in work which we
feel sure is for the advancement Of
Gods cause there should be no hesita;
lion about going forward. One with
God is a majority, and He will not
Withhold & blessing Or an undertaking
to make the world better. So let all
christians take courage, defy opposi-
ton, for the God of heaven will in
deed prosper His work.
It was q remarkable scene which
was enacted at Jerusalem at this time.
The work of rebuilding was divided
off into sections, and each leader had
Ills task. The enemies having boosted
they would surprise the builders and
route them from the work, 1t was de-
>al.a <o baon af 1easf half tho mon
