GETS CABLECRAn FROM A. J. SLOpER
pr. and Mrs. IT. Edwin Brown Mar ried Fifty Years Ago Yesterday- He Tells of Essentials of Christian Church.

Rev. Dr. T. Edwin Brown, at the First Baptist church. yesterday preached his sermon in celebration of the tenth anniversary of his pas torate in this city. He did not quote statistics or figures, but simply de- livered a straightforward gospel ser mon that appealed to all of his con- gregation. Several were baptised at the morning service.
 Welded Fifty Years Ago.
 During his sermon yesterday Dr. Brown stated that fifty years ago yes terday, which was his wedding day, he was in Brooklyn, N. Y., seeking a flower for girl who in his eyes needed no adornment. He was married to her at 1 o'clock that af- ternoon, he said, and added that al- though he had been unable to find the flower he sought, nevertheless he had found the flower of love which became more fragrant as the years rolled by. In this connection he told his congregation that this matter was such a personal and domestic one that possibly he was not doing right in mentioning it, but as his love is born of God he did not see where in he erred in doing so. Tn 8 few other words Dr. Brown thanked his friends in this city for the way in which they had treated him and his family and told them how much they all appreciated it.
 Wife Here Ten Years.
 In Dr. Browns life there is an- other important event of which yes- terday was the anniversary. Ten years ago yesterday Mrs. Brown ar rived in this city where her hus- band had begun his passionate three weeks before and on that evening they celebrated their fortieth we'd ding anniversary with supper in their new parsonage.
 Dr. Browns sermon, he said, on the first Sunday after he became pas- tor of the local Baptist church was on the words spoken at Caesarea Philipp, My Church. and yyester- day he took the same words as his text, the difference being that it was "Our Church" >of which he was to speak. In this connection the pastor told how the Baptist church has been permitted to exist for 16O years by the grace of God and told what the essentials of the church are to meet and perform the mission set before it by the Lord.

CLOSE COLORADO GATEWAY
FOR GENERAL TRAFFIC.
Union Pacific Is Allowed to Refuse

Newspaper unlon Neys servlee.

Western Newspaper Union Neys Service
Denver-By an order issued by the
Interstate Commerce Commission, the.
Union Pacific railroad is permitted to
close the Colorado gateways for gen
eral traffic between exclusive points
in the Northwest and east of the Mis-
souri, river. An order to restore routes
and privileges previously in existence
on fruit and lumber has been ordered.
The order prohibits shippers in Mis-
souri, sending shipments to points in
the northwest on the Union Pacific
lines on the Burlington or other roads
for delivery to the Union Pacific in
Denver. 1t also prevents shipments
by the Denver & Rio Grande for de-
livery to the Union Pacific at Ogden.
Utah. All shipments destined for
points In the Northwest on the lines
of the Union Pacific must be delivered
to that road at Kansas City or Omaha
The rule applies to both eastern and
western shipments.
An attempt by the Union Pacific to
close the Colorado gateway more than
n year ago was prevented by the Inter
Gtate Commerce Commission, pending
a decision. A similar attempt by the
Missouri Pacific to close the gateway
to all roads other than the Rio Grande
was also stopped.
