U COMPANY. l os net I Views Situation; Mr. Mark RpynoldM Make* Statrmont of Railroad's Attitude; Proposition by Coum II I? That BMlroad Must Close Dtteti. Reatorr Street and Bntkl streets on out to Intersect. The matter of the alleged railroad encroachment on city property caused a special meeting of council Thursday morning at which the situation waa gone over carefully and it waa de? cided after hearing Mr. Mark Rey? nolds, the local attorney for the rail? road company, to make a written proposition to the railroad that the company must comply with, or close up the preeent ditch, remove the tele? graph poles and put Owens and Mul? berry streets hack into their former condition. The proposition In effect la The Atlantic Ccaat Ldne Railroad Company must in seven days place pipe in the ditch which they have opened on Mary street, the pipe to be placed at a depth required by the Public Werks Committee and the city engineer and to bo done under their supervision, and that the telegraph poles and other* obstructions be re? moved and the street placed in the condition It was In before the ditch was dag. that the railroad continue Mary street on through Suck's Branch along the railroad right r{ way. the roadway across the branch to be built up to a level a foot higher than the St-lnch pipe now under the track across Buck's Brant h, the street to be extended and opened up to and beyond the city limits by the railroad company to th* intersection of Council street projected; In consid? eration of which the city would al? low the closing of Mulberry and Owens streets, provided that ths rail? road company would furnish proper eafeguardrt for the city water mains In those streets; and In case the railroad company refused to accept this prop? osition they must at once take steps to reopen Mulberry and Owens streets and put Mary street bsck Into the condition it was In before the work waa commenced on It. The mayor was authorised to put this proposition In the form of a contract and council waa to meet at 7 o'clock Thursday night to ratify the contract. The proposition was asreed to by all members of council preeent except Aldermen afcKelver and Wild? er, who thought that the street ought to be made to Intersect within the city limits aa council had no juris? diction outside of the limits. Mr. Wright objected to this point as It would mean to cut off some distance on the railroad yard. If the two streets Intersected Inside of the city limits The meeting Thursday morning waa called by Mayor Jennings In pur aus nee of the plans made Tuesday night at the regular session ot Coun? cil when It was decided that If the railroad company did not have the ditch closed In twenty-four hours, the eity force would be put to work clos? ing the ditch and removing the tele? graph poles and putting the street back Into Its former condition. _ I The members of Council, who as? sembled at the call of the mayor, were Mayor Jennings. Aldermen Mc Leurln. Wilder. Cuttlno, McKelwr snd Wright These were .aken out to the flare the street was dug up and went over the ground thoroughly with the city engineer. The situation waa informally discussed and the plan of satten finally decided upon, j Upon the re-assembling of council Is council chamber Mr. Mark R> sob** speaking for the railroad cot: psay. made a short talk. He stab i anal a plan had been sensed upon be? tween the assistant engineer of the goad. Mr. A. N. Royall. with whom Mr. s> reuse hsd discussed the situ? ation. ?nd Mr. I. C. Strauss, the City attorrey, whereby matters were thou/ht to h# amicably sdjusted. The red'road company had thought that *4r. Htraues bad full authority to act gar the city and the agreement that had been made with him waa thought to he satisfactory until be had learned otherwise Wednesday. The railroad company was anxious to increase Its own efficiency and would hy so doing help the city. The company^waa in no way trying to trespass upon the city's property snd had not done anything to injure the city. There would, he hoped, continue to he n friendly co-.operation between the company and the city and if thore was anything crooked that the rail? road company had done he did not knew It nor was he in any who sen. nected with It. He read a telegram from Mr. Newell to htm stating tho sgvaem?nt that had been made In tween Mr. Rnyall and Mr. Strauss and hv had given a written statement * this effect to Mr Strsuss. He sail ttiat Mr. Strauss apparently had ajggaortty to mal*e ? he agreement ami he nor the comp? nv had knowg || il he dtd not havo n.'-h authority. Mr Jennings *t \\>-,\ on the otb hsnd th.it 'ho tii UN r had s!wh>-< been dHcussed by Council In a friendly manner towards the railroad and that It seemed that the trouble wan due to the fact Mr. Strauss had exceeded his authority. He hop? ed that 4he matter would be ami? cably adjusted and he and the oth.T members of council would, he thought, do all In their power to? wards this end. Mr. Reynolds asked that Council submit a proposition In writing of what they required of the company and the matter would at onoe be taken up wit i the authori? ties of the road. Following this Council went Into executive session and the resolution already stated was offered by Mr. McLaurin and ad? opted.

WAITING FOR MESSIAH. Malachi iii, 1; iv, 3?Dec. 24. "Behold Bt ?hall vorne, taith the Lord, even tht Uesaenqer of the Covenant ichom yi de? light in. Hut tcho may abide the day of ih$ ? eoming; for He Is like a refiners fire, and , like fuller* noap ' % TTAI.ACHI'S PROPHECY, the l^y I most striking features of j I Y JL which constitute the lesson | / of todny, concludes the Old Testament canon. It contains not only a Divine rebuke for sin. but also a Di? vine promise of.rescue. It fits well to the time generally assigned to it?Ne hemiah's j?eriod. It remained for Is? rael to show thorough repentnnce and to Institute thorough reforms. The needed reformation fits equally well to our day. The Jews, comparing themselves with other nations, perceived that as a result of being God's people they had been held to a more strict ac? count than other nations; so that although their nationality was superior, it was through repeated and severe chas? tisements. They were even ques? tioning the profit- Jene?' vailing place? nbleness of bel?g Jerusalem. j ?'God's chosen people." This lesson of b future reward is brought forward by the words, "They j that feared the Lord spake often one to another, and the Lord hearkened and heard it. and a book of remem brance was written before Him for j them that feared the Lord and thought upon His Name. "They shall be Mine, | saitb the Lord of Hosts, in that Day when I make up My Jewels." Israel?Typical and Antitypical. The foregoing has revealed very ranch of all prophecies respecting Is? rael's favors to be fulfilled -a portion In Spiritual Israel's experiences and another portion In Natural Israel's, The faithful of tbe Jewlsli Age. Abra? ham, Isaac and Jacob and all the Prophets, will surely have a great re? ward. When Messiah's Kingdom shall be Inaugurated on the spirit plane, in? visible to men. those Ancient Worthies, who were once called tbe Vat hers, will have a very high rank of service in connection with the Kingdom In that they will be its earthly representatives and exponents. "Instead of Thy fa? thers shall be Thy children [of Mes- j slahl whom Thou [Messiah] may est , make Princes [rulers] in all the earth." ?Psalm xlv. 10. Spiritual Israel, as history shows us. Is the great Messiah for whom the Jews hsve so long waited. This Mes? siah Is one that has many members Jesus is its Head, the Church are His members. This Messiah. Jesus, and His members or Bride, constitute the spiritual Seed of Abraham, "as the stars of heaven.'* These must first be completed, and will be glorified in Kingdom power before the Ancient Worthies can receive their blessing on an earthly plane, and before natural Israel can be gathered to them as the nucleus of tho Kingdom of God on earth, to which ultimately all nations, peoples, kindred and tongues shall flow for a share In Israel's New Cove? nant blessings. Of tbe Church St. Paul says, "If ye be Christ's then are ye Abraham's Seed and heirs according to the promise" (Galatians ill, 29). These are God's Jewels on the spirit plane. Messenger of the Covenant. The Pfopnel Malachi clearly Inti? mates that there might be disappoint? ment In connection with the much ] longed for Messenger or Mediator of the New Covenaut, In whom Ills peo? ple so delighted and hoped The dec? laration Is that His day will be a strenuous one. ,"Who shall stand when He oppeoreth?" "Who will abide the day of His coming?" The intimation Is that not many will abide, not many will stand?the majority will fall. This great Messiah, the Messenger of the New Covenant, began His refin? ing and purifying work more thun eighteen centuries tgo. He followed :ho Divine rule. "To the Jew first." He began to refine and puri? fy a priestly class for association with Himself in the glorious Mes? sianic work. To the .lew first came Doicn of JeuHsh hope. the prlvlleKe of being the antitypical Levltes. Thou? sands of them responded at 1'entecost and subsequently, but not enough to complete tbe fore-ordalned number of spiritual Israelites, members of tbe Body of Messiah. Since then the selecting work has been In progress for eighteen centu? ries. God has been calling and draw? ing, from all nations, and as many as respond, the grer.t Refiner has been purifying: and If these suffer allllc tlons for righteousness they nre shar? ing In the sufferings of Messiah that they may be acoounml worthy also of a shnre in His glories to follow. Boon the "elect" number will be completed] the blood of the New Covenant will be made efficacious for Israel Dnd for sll the families of Ihe earth, and on that basis |be Mesi mlc Klngdoi I reign of rUrbteoti lie i will begin.
