Gutal Correspondence,
For the Elk Advocate.
CATHOLIC CHRI sTIANTTY--No. 6.

This question, whether and how lost
men may be saved, is answered by
Christianity alone. For the Son Of
man is come to save that which was
lost" Matthew Is, II. The only way
of salvation is through Jesus Christ,
who says am the way, and the truth,
and the life. No man cometh to the
Father but by me-" John II, 6. " For
God so lo7ed the world as to give his
only begotten Son, that whosoever be-
hcveth in Him may not perish, but may
have life everlasting" John 8, 16.
Here we come to the doctrine that
there is a plurality Of persons in the
G odhead. q use the term person for
want of a better ; and perhaps
no explanation is needed here) -
Jesus Christ-who is the Son of man,
as we'll as the Son of God-whoso
name is called the Word of God 3"
(Rev. 10, 13) ",cas in the beginning
with God" He is therefore without
beginning, that is, eternaL And since
" the word was ,cdh God, and the word
acas Cod" we perceive that there is in
the divine Being q distinction of person
, but identity oc substance. Goo" i. e.
in the person of the Father, sent his
Son into the world" and this was that
he might die the just for the unjust"
and redeem US to God by his blood
| That he might suffer death for the sins
Of men, " the Word was made flesh and
iwclt anon" US the eternal Son OF
God became m0n-took the sinless hu
man nature into personal union.with the
divine nature, SO that Jesus Christ is
both God aud man.
~ This divine Savior offered himself q
sacrifce--a Precipitation for sin--tc
satisfy the demands Of justice and ler
sinners escape punishment See Rom
3, 24-26, &c, Now God eau DO just
while he jus.ihes those who believe ii
Jesus Every one that believes is jus
liGed-not Ia his sins, but from them
not on the ground of their own works
but on tho ground of Chrst's satisfac
ton" being justified freely by hi
grace through the redemption that is il
Christ Jesus" "
The sacrifice Of Christ, being Of inf
mite value, is sufficient for the salvation
of all men and all are invited to par
take of its benefits. Those who hea
the good news are commanded to tell i
to their neighbors, till it shall becom
known to all.
Now if all this be true, it is Of equa
} importance to all men, and of in6nit
Importance to every one, If 1t be S

every human being - offered freel
"without money and without price,

then it is the duty, as it certainly
the interest of every person, to max
haste to secure a part in the "cOmmo
salvation" That it as true ever

THE TRIUMPH OVER INDIAN By A.
l. o. E. New York: T.. Nelson & Sons,
137 Grand street. C~incinnati: George
Crosby.
This book is full of interest, and
from the novel way in which the sub
ject is handled cannot fail to be read
with profit. There is much original
ity of thought on the subject chosen,
and the way it is applied to the char
acters delineated in the story is quite
attractive. The lovely Isa Guthrie,
patient through all her trials. at last
reaps her reward. The story is very
exciting, yet so showing the dark side
of the miserly Gaspar Guilton, that
you involuntarily hate his character,
while that of the bright, true Chris
tian is so lovely we can but admire.
The lectures on the Midianites are
in~terspersed through the book, as
given by a young pastor, a prominent
character in the story, and are very
instructive-the whole book show
ing that the same faith by which he
roes of old out of weakness were made
strong, is still, as the gift of Gods
grace, bestowed on the humblest
Christian.
