said. First. It's not substitution Of anything In
the place Of present and future holiness Character
Is essential. A saved man Is saved in character
Second 1t is not that Christs obedience and death

has no longer claim on us Duty Is ever personal
and Righteousness cannot be transferred like
money, from one to another. so Us to square ac-
counts. Third. II IL not properly penal substttu-

mcnt. Penal law knows no confusion of persons
or Of places. II always Furnishes the guilty and re-
wards the innocent, and takes notice OF nothing
else but personal merit or demerit, Fourth, But
the gospel substitutes IN Christs life and death q
gracious for a legal method OF dealing with o.

human intcrccsSion for offenders. What Christ did
and suffered avails even more than would the In

prevent future sin to illustrate holiness to magnify

Fourth Presbyterian Church.

Rev. Joseph T. Kelly filed his pulpit as
usual yesterday, morning and evening. The subject
Of the morning discourse was "a definite hope for
the future the encouragement of the present"
founded upon Joshua, xiv, 9, IL Tho text tells Of
a hope which sustained man forty.flve years
Hebron. the garden spot Of Palestine, was present
to the mind Of Caleb through the wilderness life
and the war for conquest. He claimed II at the
end Of forty-hy years us hay ing been pre'empted
Tor hin by the promise OF God.
The subject thus suggested was unfoded in Its
various bearings upon the life of man. The farmer
has definite hope for the coming harvest when he
commits his wheat to the ground To he covered by
the SHOWS Of winter. So men are, In all circum,
stances, the creatures Of hope.
The miserable have no other medicine,
But only hope"
Hope goes far into the future, and fills IL with
bright Rnticipations, with the promise OF which
men satisfied, and under whose present inspira-
ton they are content TO live. The sick hope for the
day OF health tho toiing for the day Of rest those
oppressed with anxetes for the day of relief fiom
core There Is nothing in all our earthly lives for
by having definite hope OF something better
Gods word TO men Is BE of good courage, and He
shall strengthen your heart all ye that hope in the
This is the law also Of higher life Its
A DEFINITE HOPE
for tho future which makes the human spirit su-
perior TO the sway of sense. Men accuse Virtue OF
immediate payment, and one apparent to the
senses. To some life seems a fairy tale in which
every good action must be rewarded by visible
wonder The only corrective for this Is TO have
such definite hope for the future this Of Caebs.
The true way 10 measure life is with regard TO Its
future, From the other side Of eternity many
things will appear very small which may here have
filled up large measure OF thought. Life sprit.
ual well Us temporal finds its true comfort In the
hope of that which is to be.
To the eye of aith appears the inheritance which
God has prepared for those who love Him. This
sustains the Christian in the present life Passing
through time with lively impressions Of that fair
inheritance, he may be able TO say to him who
divides his peoples portion. "Give me this noun
tain. whereof the Lord spake In that day"
The subject was also pressed home 10 the attcn'
ton Of those who had never given their hearts to
truth as did Caleb. They need definite hope fol
| the future. The only encouragement for this life
