ment OF the completion of a deal be-
tween the Chesapeake and Ohio and
Norfolk and Western railroads by
which the Chesapeake and Ohio coal
will be handled between Kenoya and
Columbus by ReiaHorfolA and West
ern railway was made yesterday. For
some time the negotiations have been
on by which the Chesapeake and Ohio
would turn coal from the West Vir-
ginia mines along IT'S lines over to the
Norfolk and Western at Kenova,
which would bring the trains to Co.
tumbus, where they would be taken
in charge by the Hooking Valley and
hauled to destination at Toleda. This
will give the Chesapeake and Ohio an
opportunity to increase its lake coai
shipments very, largely, II the route
by way OF Cincinnati becomes badly
congested and blockades traffic.
1t is understood that the two roads
have agreed upon divisional rate for
coal shipments from Kenova TO Column
bu sand that with the opening of navi-
CATION the coal will begin TO move by
the new route.

ing upon the fol- Apos'es Hnah .ta s'e'
lowers of Jesus
only such things as in Gods sight
would not be binding. In those twelve
men, therefore, we recognize a Pile
nary inspiration. or special guidance
not accorded In this particular degree
to others of the brethren"
Surely there is no intimation in the
New Testament that as one after an
other of the Apostles died other men
We're recognized as succeeding them.
On the contrary. the Scriptures re-
peatedly refer to the Twelve Apos-
ties of the Lamb" Moreover, as the
Jewish Dispensation began at the
death Of Jacob. in the recognition of
his twelve sons, so the Christian Dis
pensation began at the death of Jesus
in the recognition of Els twelve Apos
ties. And as one of the tribes of Is
rael was cut off, and is not mentioned
in the enumeration in the Apocalypse,
but the tribe of Manasseh substituted
SO amongst Jesus Apostles Judas is
dropped and q successor is appointed.
ST. Paui to Succeed judas.
In the past we may have read too
carelessly the account of how the elev-
en- faithful Apostles exceeded their au-
thority in the selection of Matthias to
take the place of Judas. They should
have remembered that the Master spe-
cifically told them to do nothing until
afterreeeivingth the heavenly benediction
Accrediting them with the very best
of heart intentions, it was, neverthe-
less, effrontery on their part to select
two names and to determine that one
or the other must be the successor Of
Judas. They had no authority for so
doing. AS for the one upon whom the
lot fell. Matthias. we hear nothing fur
Their of him. In Gods due time, He
Himself brought forth Saul of Tarsus
st. Paul tells us that he found evil
dences that God had chosen him for a
womb. And such special preparation
and supervision we doubt not was APP
plicable to all of The Twelve.
"A Crown of Twelve Stars"
The Lords specialization of the
twelve Apostles is variously referred
to. He said, Have not l chosen you
twelve?" And again, aye shall sit on
twelve thrones" In the symbolical
book of Revelation He pictures the
Church as a tooman clothed with sun
light standing over or near to the
moon, which symbolizes the Jewish
Law Covenant; and upon her head
was a crown of twelve stars. repre-
senting the twelve Apostles of the
Lamb
Again, later on in the same book, we
find pictured the Church in glory be-
yond the veil, the Bride-the New Je-
rusalem OF this City we read that it
had twelve foundations and in the
twelve foundations the names of the
twelve Apostles.
The recognition Of successors to the
Apostles was one OF the first errors

Later great Church Councils were call
ed in which these bishops, as claimed
successors to the Apostles decided
what should and what should not be
believed by the Church, what was and
what was not orthodox.
1t can be readily seen that this exal-
tation of false apostles Revelation ii,
p, contrary to the Divine arrange

however well intentioned all concerned
may have been 1t is surprising that
so many still hold to the creeds thus
formulated by pseudo-apostles The
need of the hour is a recognition of
these facts and an abandonment of all
those creeds and return to the words
of Jesus and the Apostles and the
