rejH nt. A man may be greatly dis- tressed because of sin, and only plunge the deeper into sin. Repent- auce is not remorse. Judas went out old h.-i I himself but he 'did not repent. Mat again reformation is not repentance. Kelormatloufearsthec.il- sequences of sin. Repentance hates : the siu itself. Reformation excuses sin. Repentance confesses it. Re- entani e Is tace to lace wit li iod. Reformation is not. Reiiertaiice : causes a man to surrender himself to j the conviction of sin. There is an intellectual element a recognition of sin as involving per personal - sonal personal guilt and helplessness. There is an emotional element- -a sorrow for sin as committed against goodness and justice, and therefore hateful to ; (;wl au h,oflll in itself. There is a,s() a volllIltarv elemeiit-au inward ;.. - seek pardon aud cleansing. Ibis is the most important element.

"All have sinned and come short of the glory of (iod." Rom. 3:23. There are some who count themselves as pretty good sort of people, and they are as the world looks at them: but when the liglii of ''od shines on their seltish-n.'s-. their pride, their motives and their thoughts, the mark of sin is seen iu everyone. If you owed a iersoual debt as great as that of the United States, it would not mutter much whether you had IMOO or only ten cents. Von can't pay the debt. It is only as you repent and cast yourself on the merits of Jesus Christ that you can hoe for salvation. We ' ( iod's should goodness repent also, lead- to it. because Despis- et h thou the riches of his goodness aud forliearance and long suffering: not knowing that the goodness of God leadeth thee to reK'Utuuce?" Rom. 2:1. No one can ever measure the goodues.-of Cod. When our Anglo- ! Saxon forefathers were framing words to express their ideas, the word which they chose to descril- the Almightv was God. which means "the good." "the good one." "(iod is love."

The clty treasurer reported il3..48 ou hand. The city auditor reported having collected the sum of from tines. during the mouth of February, The report of the city a or aud tax collector showed unpaid water bills for 1H01 to the amount to J $157.77 ; for 1!2, -lliTr., while no wa- ter bills h id been collected for the mouths of January and February of this year, leaving the city from thi nearly 85O0O due urce. He was instructed to collect these bills at once and to shut off water to cousiim cousiim-ers - ers cousiim-ers who did uot settle as soon as their ; bills were presented. The report of the city eugiueer was quite exhaustive and contained some: very important if not pleasant, infor- mat ion. He reported the pipe line' between Prescott aud Del Rio iu very very-bad - bad very-bad coudition for about eight miles aud said it was necessary to keep men at work along the line continually re- I pairing the line where the lead joints were blowing out every day. The res- ervoir in the city is also in a deplor- 1 able conditiou. it Iteing impossible to j keep more than about nine feet of wa wa-ter - ter wa-ter in it when there should I sixteen feet. This was on account of leakage. His report brought out a lengthy! discussion on the water works prob- ( lem. Mr. Mulvenon. who had lieeii the chairman of the water committee in the old council aud who is un doubtedly the best posted man on the! water works coudition iu Ih-escott. I gave the new council some very val-1 uable pointers ou tbe situation. Hei said in his opinion it would he ueces- the line could lie relaid for the di tauce of about five miles where it is in such bad condition in about ten days time. But this would cost -e - eral thousand dollars, itie re.-ervoir would also have to be repaired and ! enlarged, and it was his experience that this would cost several more thousands and then could not be made to give good satisfaction and he recommended that m-tead of more money being spent trying to repair and enlarge tbe old reservoir that a million and a half gallou steel tauk be put in. which would stop the repair business for many years to come. The proposed tank would cost $10.ut0 to $15,000. Another thing, he under understood - stood understood it was the intent iou of the gov- : eminent to statiou at least three com companies - panies companies at Whipple iu tbe near future which would increase the consump- ' tiou of water at the xst to 100.U1; gallons per day which together with the rapid growth of the city would soon demand about U.tH gallons of water per day. The present .- tpacity for funrisbiug water is short of ."pUi.ihhi gallons so it was absolutely necessary to increase the capacity of the present plaut. He suggested that au auxil auxiliary - iary auxiliary plant he put in near Smith's lane. This would reduce the pressure at the Del Rio plant so that the en- gine could lie speeded up to meet the required ueeds. and the auxiliary plant could pump the water into the city reservoir. These needs, he .le clare-l were not fancies but faced the city in fearful reality aud must be met. The matter of calling aanaaW election for the issuance of bonds to meet these needs w is discussed an t Mr Mulvenon was asked what amount would lie needed. He replied that it would take every dollar of K0,000 aud possibly more to put the water system in a place where it would meet all de demands - mands demands of the city for years to come and also to extend the sewer out let to the distance required by the war

nevertheless do the great .lee.!- by which mankind advance.-. These pioneers of Methodism had the strong, militant virtues which go to the ac complishment of such great deeds Now and then they liet rayed the shortcomings natural to men of their type; but their shortcomings seem small indeed when we place Ix-side them the magnitude of the work they achieved. And now friends, in celebrating the wonderful growth of Methodism, in rejoicing at the good it has done the country and to mankind. 1 need hardly ask a body like this to remember that the greatness of the fathers becomes to the children a shameful thing if tbey use it only as an excuse for inac tion instead of as a spur to effort for noble aims. I speak to you not only as Methodists I speak to you a.- American citizens. The pioneer days are over. We now all of us form parts of a groat civilized nation, with a complex industrial and social life and . i , , . . f . i , infinite possibilities both for good and for evil. The instruments with which, and the surroundings in which, we work, have changed immeasurably from what they were in the days when the rough backwoods preachers minis- tered to the moral and spiritual needs of their rough backwoods congrega- tions. But if we are to succeed, the spirit in which we do our work must be the same as the spirit in which they did theirs. These men drove forward. and fought their way upward, to sue cess, because their sense of duty was in their hearts, in the very marrow of their bones. It was not with them I B"JUJClu'" l" w luUNUW " "" " adjunct to their theology, -landing ' Parate and apart from their daily rrl I 1 ;a MAM. il 1.

Well, if we are to succeed as a na tion we must have the same spirit m us. We must lie absolutely practical, of course, and must face facts as they are. The pioneer preachers of .Metho .Methodism - dism .Methodism could not have held their own for a fortnight if they had not shown an intense practicality of spirit, if thev had not lossessed the broadest standing ot. their tellow men. tint in addition to the bard. practical com- mou sense needed by each oi us in life, we must have a lift toward lofty things or we shall be lost, individu individually, - ally, individually, and collectively as a nation. Life is uot easy, and least of all is it easy for either the man or the na'ion that aspires to do great deeds. In ! lie century opening the play of the inlin- itelv far reaching forces and tenden cies which go to make up our six-ial system bids fair to Ik- even tleiir in its activity than in the century which nas l'lo,ied. If during this Dun tury the men of high and hue moral sense show themselves weaklings: it tho ir t,ui - . " V7V . , . 1 i' irhinh clifi nL' I i i i . 1 . I . . i i i . ' tt'iilii contact with the raw facts of actual life: if they dare uot go down into the ' hurly burly where the meu of might contend for the mastery; if they stand j aside from the pressure and conflict : I then as surely as the sun rises and j j ts all of our great material progn ss. all the multiplication of the physical agencies which tend for our comloi t aud enjoyment, will go for naught and our civilization will welcome a brutal sham and mockery. If we are to do as I believe we shall and will do. if we are to advance iu broad hi I- manity, in kindliness, iu the spirit of brotherhood, exactly as we advance iu our conquest over the hidden forces of nature, it must lie by developing strength in virtue aud vinue in strengtn. by breeding and training men who shall lie both good and strong, both gentle and valiant men who scorn wrongdoing, and who at the same time have both the courage and the strength to strive mightily for the right. Wesley said he did not intend to leave all the good tunes to the ser service - vice service of the devil. He accomplished so much for mankind aaaanae he also refused to leave the stronger, manlier ! qualities to be availed of only in the I interest of evil. The church he louuded has throughout it- career throughout its career been a church for the poor as well a

days when the Continental Congress l first met. For a ceutury after the declaration of independence t he greatest work of j our people, with the exception only of the work of sell preservation under Lincoln, was the work of the pioneers as they took pos.-e.-. ion of this conti nent. During t hat century we push ed westward from the Alleghenies to , the Pacific, southward to the gulf and the Kio (Grande, aud also took posses possession - sion possession of Ala-ka. T! rk ot advanc advancing - ing advancing our Ix.undarv. ui rushing the frontier across forest and desert and mountain chain, was the great tvpical ; work of our nation: and the men who did it the frontiersmen, the pion- eers. the backwoodsmen, the plains- men. mountain men formed a class by themselves. It was an irou task, which none but men of iron soul and iron liody could do. The meu who carried it to a successful conclusion had characters strong alike for good and for evil. Their rugged natures made them poers who served light or darkness with tierce intensity: and together with heroic traits they had those evil and dreadful tendencies which are but too apt to be fouud in characters of hero;c possibilities. Such men make the most efficient ser servants - vants servants of the Lord if their abounding vitality aud energy are directed aright : aud if misdirected their in influence - fluence influence is equally potent against the cause of Christianity and true civili civilization. - zation. civilization. In the bard and cruel life of the iorder. with its grim struggle agiust the forbidding forces of wild nature and wilder meu. there was much to pull the frontiersman down. If left to himself, without 'moral teaching and moral guidance, without any of the influences that tend toward the uplifting of man and the subduing of the brute within him. sad would have tjeeu his. aud therefore our. fate. From this fate we have been largely largely-rescued - rescued largely-rescued by the fact that together with the rest of the pioneers went the pion pioneer - eer pioneer preachers: and all honor be given to the Methodists for the great pro proportion - portion proportion of these pioneer preachers whom thev furnished. These preachers were of the stamp of old Pe'er Cartwright meu who suffered .nn.-ouir nr.. uaiusui - i in common wnn tneir nock, and wno in addition tamed the wild aud fierce i spirits of their fellow pioneers. It was uot a task that could have been accomplished by men desirous to live in the soil places of the earth and to walk easily on life's journey. They had to possess the spirit of the martyr.-: but not of martyrs who could merely surfer, not of martyrs who could oppose only assive endurance to wrong. The pioneer preachers warred against the forces of spiritual evil with tiie sauie fiery zeal auden auden-ergy - ergy auden-ergy that they and theirfellows show showed - ed showed in the coutpiertt of the rugged con continent - tinent continent They had iu them the heroic spirit that scorn ease if it must le purchased by failure to do duty, the spirit that courts" risk and a life of j hard endeavor if the goal to Ik- reach- 1 ed is really wort h aitaiuiug. (Jreat is-) our debt to the-e men aud scant tde i patience we need show toward their ! critics. At times they seemed hard aud narrow to th..-.- whose training aud surroundings had saved them from similar temptations: and they have leen criticised, as all men. whether missionaries, soldiers, explor explorers, - ers, explorers, or frontier settlers, are criticised when they go forth to do the rough work that must inevitably Ik- doue by those who act as the first harbingers, the first heralds, of civilization iu the -world's dark places. It is easy for those who stay at home in comfort, who never have to see humanity iu the raw. or to strive against tbe dread dread-fnl - fnl dread-fnl naked forces which appeal- cloth ed. hidden, and subdued iu civilized life it is easy for such to criticise the men who. in rough fashion, and amid grim surroundings, make ready the way for the higher life that is to come afterv -irds: but let us all rememlter j that the MUtempte.l ami the effortless ! should be cautious in paxsiug too I

It was a day of oratory in the council J in addition to a day" of action. The1 to smelter men tint was passed as B - ! amended, and retimed to the house j for its action. Another source of discussion was a . staienooo resolution wnicu reaus as loimws. the purpose and intent of the congress of the Luitd States is to refuse them admission as a separate state, then t hat the people of Arizona will accept joint statehood with New Mexico on i - the condition that the enabling act ot congress provide tnai me consuiu- tiou of the proposed state shall not ! 1 effective until adopted by a major ity of the votes of each of the present territories vol ing separately, ami iiiiu Arizona shall have equal represeuta- tion with New Mexico in the const it u u-tioual - tioual u-tioual convention. 1 1 m . i i 1 .1 ie il lur.uer reso,., x uat tue clerk of the council tie instructed to send a copy of this telegram by wire to the Hon. Marcus A. Smith at Wash ington. President Ives made a speech in favor of the resolution and Kihley opposed it. It was passed by a strict liarty vote. The Republican says that Judge Kibliey was warmly congratulated by T. G. Norris and C. M. Shannon, on the conclusionof his speech. Both of tin in are credited with political as aspirations - pirations aspirations which they see vanishing in the future should the one state propo proposition - sition proposition be accepted. The resolution after its adoption was sent to the house, but the ntem- - ware timorous of it and deferred action. As au adjournment was taken until Mouday. it will give them an opportunity to consult their constitu constituents. - ents. constituents. It develojied after the council had lussed the resolution that a telegram had been received from Mark Smith on the subject in which he warned the members of the legislature that this compromise afforded the only hope I for statehood. Cowan's bill in accordance with a plank iu the democratic platform, providing for the fees received from ! articles of incorporation, being di diverted - verted diverted to the territorial treasury was reported from the committee there be being - ing being a minority report on it. Secretary Stoddard evidently hypnotized the majority of the committee which re re-I.rted - I.rted re-I.rted as follows : "Your committee on territorial affairs beg leave to report that they have examined H.
