JUSTIFICATION.

Martin Luther said that justification is "the
article of standing or falling church" Ev-
identity, the great Reformer means by this dec
laration, that the doctrine of justification is
one of fundamental Importance. Literally,
the word justification means the act of pro-
nouncing an individual just. 1t is said by
theological writer's to be court term. That
is, it is term which is used by those engaged
in courts of justice. As used in the scrip
lures, the phrase "to justify" means about
the same thing as the words "Not Guilty"
written by jury, upon the back of an in.
dictment. In the Scriptures, it never signifies
to make innocent, but to declare not guilty.
This seems to be the difference between justi.
6cation and sancti6cation. In the act of jus.
ti6cation, the sinner is made free from the
condemnation which he has merited by viola
ting the law of God. In the work of sanct-
fcation, the vile and polluted sinner is made
holy.
Many texts of Scripture might be quoted
to prove that justification only means to pro-
nounce not guilty, or not liable to punishment.
1t should be kept in mind that the phrase
"not guilty." neither in the scriptures nor in
human courts, never means anything else than
not liable to punishment. The absolute facts
in the case of the accused have nothing to do
with the conclusion of jurors, as to whether
they shall write upon the back of the indict-
ment "guilty" or "not guilty" When jurors
write upon the back of an indictment the
word "guilty," they simply say that the evil
dence adduced was such as to oblige them to
declare, by their verdict, that the accused is
liable to the penalty annexed to the law, for
the violating of which he has been accused
and tried.
The ground of justification is obedience to
law. Since all men are, by nature and by
wicked acts, sinners it is a matter of great
Importance to inquire how God can justify a
sinner and yet be a just and holy God. He
does it, we understand the scriptures to teach,
by furnishing Saviour for the sinner Jesus
Christ placed himself under the law of God
and offered himself up asacri6ce for sin. The
sinner is not justified on account of anything
he has done, is doing, or will do; but on &C.
count of the doing and dying Of Jesus Christ.
The Righteousness of Jesus Christ is received
by faith. In other words, so soon as the sin.
ner believes in Christ, he is justified. Believ-
ing in Christ is nothing more than relying
upon Christ-trusting in him-putting our
confidence in him. Hence, so much stress is,
in the Scriptures, put upon believing Who
soever believes shall be saved, because whoev-
er believes is justified.

REV. ROBERT LATHAM.
ssYE ARE CHRIST's.".. 1st Cor. 8: 90.


"YE ARE CHRISTs. s."..1st Cor. 90.
The first Epistle of Paul to the Corinthians,
is addressed to all who love the Lord Jesus
Christ. This we learn from the End verse of
the 1st chapter. One of the objects which the
apostle has in view in the Epistle, is to in
struct professed Christians of the true relation
which they sustain to each other as private
members of the church. They are brethren,
and all the means Of grace, such as the Sab
bath, the preaching of the gospel and the sac
raments of the New Testament, have been
provided for their benefit. Not only 80, but
they are Christ's They belong to Christ.
They are his property-his slaves; bound to
serve him and entitled to his protecting care.
There is sense in which all men and all
things are Christ's. As creator and preserver,
Christ has an indisputable right to all things.
No better claim can be made to any piece OF
property than to prove that it is our creation.
What we make is, in all lands, where law and
justice are respected, regarded as ours. What
we preserve from inevitable ruin, is ours by
another claim. What We make and save, we
feel belongs to US. The world and all that it
contains is the creation Of Christ, and it is
preserved from utter desolation by his provi-
dental care. Professed Christians, believers
in Christ, are Christ's in sense in which all
things are not his. They are his because
bought with his own precious blood, and uni
ted to him by living faith. Over such
Christ watches, not simply as God of provi-
dence; but as Saviour. By his spirit they
have been created again-born from above
made new creatures. Christ's spirit has been
put within them and his image stamped upon
them, and they are dear to him as nothing
else is dear. The triune God loves no crea-
ture as he loves the sinner who believes in
Christ Jesus. Let what may happen, God
will provide for and protect all who love Je-
sus. His right arm is pledged to defend
them, and he will save them with an everlast-
ing salvation because they are Christ's.

KEEPING HAMs-The most easy way OF
keeping hams perfectly is to wrap and tie in
paper, and pack them in boxes or barrels with
ashes. The ashes must gil all interstices, but
must not touch the hams, as it absorbs the fat.
1t keeps them sweet, and protects them from
all kinds of insects. After smoked beef or
hams are cut, hang them in coarse linen bag
in the cellar, and tie it up to keep out flies.
b9~ Cattle should be fed regularly. In the
opinion of one of our best farmers "a COW
or an OK will worry off more fat in waiting
an hour for their food beyond the regular time,
than two feeds will put On.

and in awful silence he sat down and rested
his head upon his hand.
He had not entered his house unseen nor
was he permitted long to indulge in the dis
tressing scene which lay before his eyes. The
tories saw him when he entered, and like so
many furies rushed upon him. The entreat-
les Of his wife, and the screams of his sick
children were of no avail. He was seized by
band of rufians, dragged from the house
and halter placed around his neck. What
could he do2 He was overpowered. A few
moments and all would be over. He would not
beg. Just as the awful moment approached
when he was to be hanged because he was q
rebel, horse neighed on the opposite side of
the house, and as the tories were all as lazy
as they were cruel, the whole band rushed
out, each anxious to secure for himself the
horse, and Bob Kilpatric pulled the rope
from his neck and dashed into the woods,
leaving both the tories and his sick children.
1t was not until sometime in l1ol-aoout
year after the occurrence just related-that
he dared visit his family. The tories were
made more furious by his escape, and swore
vengeance against him if they ever put their
hands upon him again. The next time that
he came into the neighborhood it became
known, and strict watch was kept for him.
| By some means or other he was surprised,
not in his own house, but some place near
what is called Hopewell creek. AS before,
the rope was fastened round his neck, and all
kinds of insults were heaped upon him. He
was cursed and abused for making his escape
on the previous occasion, and told that they
were determined that they would hang him
this time He seems to have come to the firm
conclusion himself that his days we're soon to
come to an end. The place where he was cap
tured was kind of glade, and no tree being
convenient, it was necessary to 60 few rods

FROM TIE COUNTY Il UDITOR.
EDITOR ADVANCE: III your issue of
July 13, there is 4 letter over the sigma
of a Subscriber to which l take serious
exceptions, for the following reasons:
1st. A reference is made to myself
and family which, taken in the collnec-
tion in which it stands, can only, in
my Judgment. he interpreted as IL slur
thrown on my family, whatever may
have been the intention of the writer.
I'll. The writer seems to convey the
idea that while some supported Inc
cheerfully there were others who were
under constraint to do so. My best
bow to my friends who supported ME
clcerfully; willie to those iii any, who
supported me otherwise, shall endeaV-
or to extend that business courtesy and
fidelity which shall justify them in the
sacrifice they have made.
81. 1 object to the assumption that
what l am IN character and position
has been secured to me 10y election to
the office Of County Auditor of this
county. For I claim to have come into
this county with ali established clIarac-
ter, at It date when took position with
the people as one of them. by their
choice, expressed in large majorit>es ut
the ballet box, have been twice Chosen
to act us Il public servant for the people
OF the county. and do the business of
the county us Auditor; and while en-
leavor to fill this trust faithfully and
with integrity, and thereby show my
gratitude to my fellow citizens, / GER
tainly do not feel that am to be ranked
either above or below the community.
4th. object to the farther assump-
tion that it becomes my business, in
duty to my supporters, to give interest
to amy newspaper either in or out of
the county. The records of the county
are always open and free of access to
ill citizens of the county; and you, my
dear sir, or any one else who may wisi,
to make copies or take abstracts shall
he, us you have heretofore been, treated
with Difference while dong so.
Again, l should feel grateful to you
for the admonition you give me, spice(
us it is with Il sc:ap Of obsolete South
ern eloquence about '''toiling mudsills''
on the matter of selfisl, eg0tism, if by
any means could he made t0 realize
its application, but us it is fear your
