WHO SHALL SAVE US
To follow the example of Jesus or Paul, other
men, is following shadow To set an example
for others to follow Is mans business II Is best
for us to be true and right because to be otherwise,
Is to be false and at war with ourselves and our
neghbor. We might as well live a true lite as to

wait longer for a Savior to come other than through
himself. There are those who ask, WHO shall
or he never will be reformed. He who truly saves
himself saves the world. The world is full of ma
nagng busy bodies, whose time is so much occu,
pied in ruling over and preaching to others, and
keeping them out of mischief, that they have no
| time left to role over and keep themselves. lie
who takes the world upon his shoulders may expect

There is no magical antidote for sin in the physi-
cal blood of Jesus, nor in the blood of any man.
If Jesus yielded up his physical life rather than the
truth it was his life to ive-hls love Tor universal
mamie acted herolcally and proved his truthful
ness, and inspired others with that love-sprlt which
he possessed. This was all the salvation there was
in the matter And any man who does the same is
as much Savior to all men as Jesus was
There is that in every man which says be right,
be true, let love and harmony reign in and around
you. This voice Is mlghtier than the voice OF Je-
sus and all mems OF higher authority than all bi-
bes scriptures, records and histories united LIS

divinity which stirs within u.s."

DEBT-MoNEY.
No man ever did nor ever will pay a Just debt
with money Every person owes debt to his
fellow which money cannot pay, and tins is the
only debt he owes or can owe.
All banks and monIed institutions are great
counterfeitng and gambling establishments; and
if they confined their circulation to gold and silver
they would be none the less so. And the presl-
dents and directors of these banks are great coun-
terfeiters, gamblers and swlndlers. And IT any
men on the face OF the earth ought to be branded
as robbers and outlaws and imprisoned, they,

THE ASSOCIATIONS.
We frequently receive letters lnquring as to the
location condition and prospects OF this or that AS

These letters, many of them requiring sheets for
their satisfactory answer, we have not time TO
reply to in detai often, indeed, we have not near

We propose instead to give general outline sketch
of what is doing in each case, so tar as we have
knowledge. We begin with

without any clear method, by people little htted tor
