A Common Fault.
Athens Herald.

Athens Herald.
The sins Which we see and condemn
in others, are usually those of which
we, ourselves, are gnilty. Look out,
for instarce. for the man who con-
staptly accnses others OF hypocrisy and
insince ritJ. 1t would seem that since
ali humanity is Sc full of fault and
weak ess, there would exis? among
men the greatest forbearance, not for
the sin IT. Strong should be the
thought IN every mind that God hates
sin, but He loves the sinner.
Nothing in Scripture better Illus
trates this truth tnau the story Of il sus
and TIE adulleres~, as it is told In the
q spells. II may again be read with
great profit:
And every one went home except
Jesus, who vent to the Mount of
Olives. n But he went again into
tue temple courts early in the MORN
ing, and all the people came to lin,
and he sat down and taught them.
Presently, however the. teachers of the
law and the Pharisees brought q
woman who had been caught in aiul-
terry, and placed her in the middle of
the court and said to Jesus:
Teacher, this woman was found in
the very act of adultery. Now Moses,
in the law, commanded us to stone
such women to death; what do you
say?'
They said this to test him, in order
to have charge to bring against him.
But Jesus stopped down and wrote on
the ground with his finger. However,
as they continued asking Him, he
raised himself, and said:
"I.et the man among you who has
never done wrong throw the first stone
at her."
And again he stopped down and
wrote on the ground. When they
heard that they went out one' by one
beginning with the eldest; and Jesus
was left alone with the woman in the
middle of the court. Raising himself,
Jesus said to her: .
s.Woman, where are they? Did no
one condemn you?''
mo one, SIR she answered.
s,'Neither do p condemn yon," said
Jesus; go and do not sin again"

RESERVOIR RIGHT IS
REJECTED BY FISHER
San Francisco Denied Privilege
of Desecrating Hetch-
Hetchy Valley.

. Washington, March 4.-Secretary
Fisher today refused to grant the APP
plication OF the city OF San Francisco
for the use Of the Hetch Hetchy valley
as a reservoir site. The secretary, in
his decision, said that as a. matter of
public policy the natural condition Of
so important a curiosity as the Hetch
Hetchy, valley should not be radically
changed without the express authority
of congress.
The advisory board of army en-
gineers substantially recommended the
use of the Hetch Hetchy valley in a re-
port submitted to the secretary two
weeks ago.
II do not believe that the secretary
OF the interior should grant, under the
act of February Is. 1901, a permit In
this case based upon the principal de-
termining factor of the defense in al
tentative sources Of water supply,
whether the difference be $13,O 900, 900
or $4,000, 00G' or even more than 500
OOO, 200. If the secretary were to do
thlT, he would in a certain important
sense be placing a monetary value upon
the preservation of the Hetch Hetchy
valley in it's present natural condition.
He would be determining that in order
to save the expenditure Of a certain
sum of money by the people of San
Francisco the people of the whole coun-
try should consent to change the pres
ent natural condition of the Hetch
Hetchy valley. Such action, however.
should not be taken by the secretary
without a clearer authorization from
congress than l am able TO believe was
con]scientiously intended when the act
of 1901 was passed. In another event
such action with respect to such an inn
portant future national park as the
Hetch Hetchy valley would constitute
a precedent which should be most care
fully n effectually guarded before 1t
Is established"
The secretary. however, announced
that he continued both he application
for the permit and the rule to show
cause until application can be made by
the city to congress for such action as
congress may deem proper in I've
premises. 4-sfNNMXENNKN
