TO A. C. 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

light in. Hut tcho may abide the day of ih$ ?

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.
