, Be of Good Cheer.

“Be of good cheer, it is I; be not
afraid.”

You may have received the promise
long ago, only to have it slip from your
keeping in some hour of trial. You
may have given yourself to God long
years since, and then taken back the
gift when some forbidden pleasure,
craved and longed for, demanded such
a sacrifice. You may have united
yourself to His Church and inscribed

your name upon His grand muster roll,

only to ignore the duty when some
great temfitation arose. You may
have partaken of the body and bloodvof
Christ, only to mock the sacrifice in
some moment when the devil took you
up on a mountain and ofl'ered you all
the pleasure of the world if you would
but follow and acknowlege him as your
king. You may have back«sli.lden a
thousand times, and be groaning now
in the very depths of desolation; in the
most abject fear and erimmest despair
that you are a lost soul. Have no fear.
Though your sins be as scarlet they
Shall be as white as snow.

Think not of God’s vengeance, but
of His love. Think not of His outraged
majesty, but of His infinite compassion
and mercy, and know that you cannot
wander outside the limits of His love
and mercy.

In the midst of your sin and your re-
pentance, and your fear and despair,
you feel a presence near, and imagine
that it is divine h us; but it is not—it is
divine love. It says to your: “Be of
good cheer." No matter how black
your sins may be, they can be washed
white. No matter how low you may
have sunk, Christ can lift you up. way
up, until your enraptured eyes gaze
upon the still waters and the green
pastures. No matter how deep you
may be plunged in the gulf of darkdes-
pair, Christ will send the sunlight there
if you butpray to Him to do so.

Be of good cheer. You cannot com
mit any sin that Christ cannot and
will not forgive. He forgave the dying
thief upon the cross; think you that
he will condemn you to an eternal
death because you have tried to serve
and to follow Him and have fallen once,
thrice, or a thousand times ?

It is the voice of Christ that breaks
upon the silence, or is heard far above
the clamor and the wailing of those
who are in fear and who think that they
are lost. It is the same voice that bade
the daughter of the Centurion arise,
and that gave sight to the blind beggar
at the gate. It is the same voice that
raised Lazn‘us from the dead; that
cleansed the leper and bade the lame
walk and the deaf to hear. It is the
same voice that said to the woman:
“Neither do I condemn thee. Go and
sin no more;" and to that other woman:
‘ Toy faith hath made thee whole."

Grade Crossing's. .

We published yesterday, says the New
York Times, a dispatch from Boston
saying that the Railroad Commissioners
of Massachusetts had forbidden a trot-
ley company to cross the tracks of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
1’. iilroad Company at grade in the town
o: Leomio~tsr. The use or cons_truc-_
tics of such grade crossings should be
prevented by law in every State. In
Connecticut there is a statute which re.
quares a separation of grades at points
where trolley lines cross steam roads.
It is said that the enactment of it was
procured by the exertions and argu~
ments of the New York, New Haven
and Hartford Railroad Company, and
some persons have expressed the Opin-
ion that this company’s chief motive
was a desire to discourage the construc-
tion of trolley roads by increasing the
cost of them. . ,

We think that, while the company
did not loose sight of , the probable ef-
fect of the prohibition upon certain
trolley projects, its chief motive was a
desire to protect the lives of its passen-
gers and to clear its roads of obstacles
which might interfere with the regular

movement of its fast trains. At all} Bridgeport, Dec 4th, 1896,.

l

~—

events, the statute is an excellent one,
and it should never be repealed. It has
been said that if the supporters of com?
peting trolley roads should control a
majority at the next session of the Con-
necticut Legislature they would attack
this law. It ought not to be touched,
and similar laws should be. passed in
other States for the protection of all
passengers, those who travel on'steam
roads as well as those who use the one

of trolley lines.

Bridgeport Elated.

Bridgeporters ‘ are elated over a
prospect that its “Yellow Millpond” is
to be opened to navigation. Congress-

for an appropriation to clear out the
channel into the pond,which will largely
augment Bridgeport’s' shipping advan-
tages.
