The purpose of the message was to
provide basis for the perpetual peace
of the believer, a peace that the world
can neither give nor take away.
These things have I spoken unto you,
that in me ye might have peace" II
we search for "these things" that con-
tribute to our peace. we shall find them
in this and the two preceding chap
ters, which together constitute the
closing counsels of our Lord, spoken
10 his own before his cruciixiOn.
Any one of the ninety verses con-
tanned In these chapters. would be sur
ticient for spiritual meditation. TAX
en- together they mcy be looked at as
mountain range Of truth, with sew
eral peaks of prominence. The first
peak Is the believers future prospect.

siOns." 81 go to prepare place ror
you" IL will come again, and receive
you unto myself" But why speak
first of the future prospect? Because
1t occupies the first place as an as
surance for peace, and an incentive to
service. When the heart is assured
concerning the future, aud no room Is
left for misgiving on doubt, then will
ingness to sacrifice. and power to en-
dure prevail. Men march joyfully to
battle when the victory and reward
of the future are sure. So the Mas
ter paints the picture of the future
prospect with glowing colors. and the
believer knowing that "He Is faithful
that promised" has great peace OF
heart, even in the midst of world OF
adverse forces
Believers Position and Power
The next peak in this mountain
range of truth may be called the be-
liever's position. 1t is seen in the para
ole of the vine and the branches. Our
Lord is not merely a friend influencing
US from without, but life force with
in. 81 am the vine, We are the
branches" Christ liveth in me-" "FOr
me to live In Christ" "Ye in me. and
ton. We are In Christ, and this truth
makes possible all the spiritual priv
:leges of the believer. AS shout of
triumph the apostle cries: BLESSED
be the God and Father of our Lord
Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with
all spiritual blessings in heavenly places
In Christ" The present position as
well rs the future prospect Of the
Christian believer Is glorious, and con-
tributes to perfect and perpetual peace
of heart
The third peak is the believers pow
er, which is closely associated with the
work of the Holy Spirit. 81 will pray
the Father, and he shall give you an
other Comforter" "He shall teach you
all things" "He shall testify of me-"
"He will guide you into all truth"
''He will show you things to come"
"He shall glorify me-" This work Of
the Holy Spirit gives spiritual power
to the believer The measure of this
power Is dependent on, and determined
by, faith. Now Christ is the object
of faith AS the Holy Spirit makes
Christ real to the believers heart, so
faith triumphs, and power to under
lake and achieve is developed. AS q
consequence. the believers peace flows
like river, overcoming all obstacles.
OF him 1t can be said, "Whom having
not seen. We love; In whom. though
now We see him not, yet believing, We
rejoice with JOY unspeakab.e and full
of glory"

Asking in Christs Name.

Another peak which attracts our at
tention Is that of the believers prayer
life. In the teaching on prayer. words
that challenge and stir can be found
In this transcendent message: "What-
soever We shall ask in my name. that
will do, that the Father may be glo-
rified In the Son. II We shall ask any
thing In my name, | will do it." In
the Old Testament teaching on prayer
the idea of righteousness is prevalent
as basis for petition. In the synop-
tic Gospels the emphasis Is placed on
faith or belief. but here On additional
element enters in--"in my name"
The believer has taken on him the
name Of Christ, and as a woman, who
In marriage has taken mans name,
proceeds to do business In that name,
so may we do business in the name Of
our Lord. A very large and real part
of that business IL to pray In that
name. There Is virtue and value In
that name. "Hitherto nave We asked
nothing in my name; ask. and We shall
receive, that your Joy may he full"
"These things" concerning the be-
levers future prospect, present POSI-
ton, spiritual power and prevailing
prayer "have I spoken unto you, that
In me We might have peace"

CALIFORNIA; GOLD STORY
FROM DAYS OF 40 TO PRESENT
TIME is ROMANTIC STORY

natural that California should retain
imany of its old tokens of associations,
land it so happened after the secession
Mexican doubloons or ounces and
Mexican pesos or pillar dollars were
the principal coins in use.
THE original value of the doubloons
was SIG but in San Francisco it was
received for $15.75. After the dis
covery of gold that metal in its nat
ural state became the currency. Gold
dust was the common form in which 1t
was dealt in and in 1913 and 1919 the
bankers rates were:
For grain dust, $3.50 10 $15.75 an
ounce.
Quicksilver dust, $14.5O to $14.75
an ounce
This vas when coin was paid for
1.-THE dust. When the banks received it
on deposit they valued it at SIC an
ounce and repaid it at the same rate.
Everything was gold. There was
actually more of it than people knew
what to do with, Bags of gold dust
were handed about as freely as cake.
The gamblers at the public saloons
used them as stakes and guessed at
the weight. Men had sublime indif-
ference to the smaller coins and talk
ed indifferently of dust and dollars.
There was nothing less received for
ANY service. however slight. than a
dollar; for any article however trifling
than twenty-five cents.
The smaller silver coins of what
ever denominations and of every
country were all alike BITS and passed
for the same value. As for copper

Days of Early Pioneers When
Gold Dust Was Only Money
Recalled by N%umiSmatist.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dee. 26.-Mon-

And no story of money is more in
teresting than ITS transition from the
days of As to the present in San Fran
cisco.
No chapter in California's early ro-
mantle days of the gold lure is more
fascinating than those of San Fran
cisco's Anglo Saxon rebirth, when
banks and financial Lourses issued
their own money and a government
thousands Of miles away in distance
and many months in time complac-

San Francisco still makes her own
money, but now in a United States
mint which has coined close to SO

pieces since it was established and
carries something like $3.50 600, 600 in
its vaults. Just now this money fac

dollars every twenty-four hours.
For years San Francisco had its
own way of doing business, of incur
ring debts and settling them, Of hand

ing values and of defying gold and
scorning copper and nickel" said j..
Leland Steinman, secretary of the Pa
cific Coast Numistic Society, recently,
discussing the early and romantic
gold days.
Because Of its remoteness and the
astonishing character of its first years
of Growth, San Francisco was by no
means flush of current coin in its pio-
neer days. Previous to the discovery
of gold and the consequent rapid in
flux of population there was little coin
in circulation in California and that
little in the towns of Monterey, San

Payments throughout the country
were frequently made in cattle, hides

 Resolutions-Our Brother, Hugh M. Jenkins, is dead. Again we are called upou to mournfully acquiesce in the final Judgement of our Heavenly Father, whose deerees we seem as lit He to understand, and the execution of which causes us sorrow and grief. On Wednesday, February 23. 1921, we performed the sad funeral ceremony for our departed brothers according to the ritual of our order. We shall miss his genial presence in our lodge room and on the street. His uniform good nature and helpfulneSs were an inspiration and encouragement to all who knew him. We desire to place upon our records in this permanent form our appreciation of his lovable qualities as a man and a brother. We cannot believe that the links of friend ship, truth and love, which bound him so closely to our order. are bro ken. They are only hidden from our view for a time, to be revealed in their full strength on that glorious morning, when we shall join him in our Fathers lodge room in the skies. Signed.
