successful in having their motions
to dismiss granted by the commits
sion, it will result in a monopoly
in the field of transportation in
California.
"All the Greyhound lines need to
do when faced with an application
of this type is to file motions to
dismiss or abate and thereupon the
commission would be forced to
grant their request"
In direct appeal for his cause,
Mathew said:

ponds on the action to be taken by

Sential that the commission grant
the applications so the Santa Fe
can reassume its position as a lead

On these applications rests the
best interests of the public for pas
senger service, by establishing COM

The Southern Pacific's motion to
dismiss the application was entered

ing an experience to the religious
leaders in Jerusalem who were
sticklers for the Mosaic law. Peter
would have his experience recognlz-
ed as a divine revelation. Then the
fact that he was praying points the

e. S. TREASURY TO SHIP
GOLD TO KENTUCKY

Inability to complete road need
ed for transportation in time has
delayed the IT, S. treasury in its
plans to move $6,000,000,000 of its
big gold stocks into an impene-
trable boarding place in the Ken
lucky hills.
The warehouse, which will house
the precious metal, is equipped with
every known burglar proof de-
vice It is being finished in the heart
of the recently mechanical Fort
Knox, Ky, military reservation.
Treasury officials, using heavily
armed guard forces, had hopes to
move the gold from New York,
Philadelphia. and eastern centers
during August. But shipments
probably will not begin until Sep
tember as a result of delay in fin
ishing a concrete approach road.
Meanwhile secret conferences as
to how to guard the most valuable
shipment of precious metal in the
worlds history are on foot.
1t was believed that the task
would be assigned post office in
spectors and the secret service.
Guards will be posted along the
route as the heavily armored trains
start their trip, and military pre-
cautions also may be asked.
Police authorities will be asked

to cooperate in the shipments of
the hundreds of tons of the gold
metal, which Uncle Sam took over
and melted into bars under the gold
act of 1884.
The Kentucky shipment is in
line with the treasury's policy of
taking most of it's vast $10,500, ,000,-
900 gold stocks from mints and as
say offices along the Atlantic and
Pacific coasts into safer interior
points.
About $4,000, 100000 was moved
in 1885 from San Francisco to the
more impregnable Denver mint in
the first of the transfer operations
This was shipped as parcel post
guarded by post office inspectors
Moving the gold through the
streets in heavily armored trucks
to and from the trains late at night
under drawn guns, the Denver ship
ment was delivered without hitch,
and few if any outside persons
knew its movements.

and the voice spoke three times.
V. 8. "But the voice answered me
again, from heaven, What Cod hath
cleansed, that call thou not com
mon" God was now using food as a
symbol Here is the fact of uni
versal brotherhood. There are no
common folks in Gods sight.
V. II. "And behold Immediately
there were three men already come
unto the house where / was, sent
from Caesarea unto me-" An angel
of the Lord had directed Cornelius
to send men to Joppa to call Peter,
and they arrived at the opportune
moment, just after Peter had seen
the vision.
V. IL. ''The Spirit bade me to go
with them, nothing doubling. More
over these six brethren accompa-
MED me, and we entered into the
mans house, The Spirit impresses
the faithful as to what they should
do. Peter wisely established his
new doctrine of universal brother
hood by six witnesses.
v. 13, IA "And he showed us
how he had seen an angel in his
him, Send men to Joppa, and call for
Simon whose surname is Peter; who
shall tell thee words, whereby thou
and all thy house shall be saved"
Cornelius was a devout man, pray
ed always" evidently regularly at
the hour of prayer. And in answer
to his prayer God led him to call for
Peter. Gods program calls for
mems cooperation, working together
like clock-work. Cornelius, though
a devout man, was to be partaker
of the blessings of the gospel
through Christ-a larger salvation
than he enjoyed as simply devout
man.
V. Is. "And as I began to speak,
the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on
us at the beginning" The giving OF
the Holy Ghost was heavens recog-
milton of discipleship at the begin
ming; the attestation repeated in the
case of a Gentitle was another proof
of larger brotherhood.
V. II. "Forasmuch as God gave
them the like gift as he did unto US,
who believed on the Lord Jesus
Christ, what was | that l could with
stand God?" The Old Testament
stressed obedience to God. Those
who were now debating with Peter
were asked to recognize the doctrine
they held dear.
V. II. "When they heard these
things, they held their peace, and
gIorified God, saying, Then hath God
also to the Gentiles granted re-
pentance unto life The early
church was not easily divided; it
was not a matter of opinion, but fol-
lowing Gods revealed truth.
V. Is. $50 as much as in me is,
am ready to preach the gospel to you
that are also at Rome" The letter
to Rome embraced and emphasized
the world message in the gospel.
He was therefore ready to preach
the gospel in the capital city of the
empire, with all it's racial and relig-
ious admiXture.
v. 16. For / am not ashamed of
the gospel of Christ; for it is the
power of God unto salvation to ev-
cry one that believeth; to the Jew
first and also to the Greek" Saliva
tion has the same terms for all men
since all men are to be treated alike
with the same divine grace.
