aS~ The great fundamental principle of the
gospel of Jesus Christ is that sinners are
saved by grace through faith, and that faith
is the Gift of God. Salvation from begin
ming to end and in all its parts is wholly of
grace. In theory the multitude of professed
Christians assent to this Scripture doctrine,
but in practice the multitude of professed
Christians are in some way ever attempting
to purchase heaven.

Rg Sincere Christians walk the earth with
the mien and bearing of immortals, al
though the rays of spiritual majesty which
stream forth from the burning spirit within
often do but illumine the weakness of the
body which encases it. Of such it is literal
ly true that whether they live, they live
unto the Lord, and whether they die, they
die unto the Lord.

HOLINESS.


In the 18th chapter of the epistle to the
Hebrews, at the 14th verse will be found an
exhortation in these words: "Follow peace
with all men, and holiness, without which
no man shall see the Lord" 1t is evident,
at first sight, that the relative pronoun
which, in this quotation, agrees with holi-
ness for it's antecedent. Such being the case
the declaration is made that without holi-
ness no man shall see the Lord. 1t is fur
ther evident that the verb see is used in a
kind of elliptical sense, the words in peace
or in joy being understood. The meaning
of the declaration is, without holiness no
man shall see the Lord in peace. In the
Scriptures to see the Lord means to enjoy
his favor and friendship. This is an impor
tant matter. The favor of the Lord is more
to be desired than all things besides. TO be
deprived of the favor of the Lord, is to be
deprived of everything that is good. This
greatest of all blessings cannot be enjoyed,
according to the Scriptures, without holi-
ness. What then, it may be asked, is holi
ness? TO this it may be replied, that the
two prominent ideas attached, in the Scrip
lures, to the word holiness are august and
paue Both these ideas seem to be included
in the word holiness when it is applied to
God. The name ofsGod is said to be holy
and reverend. Here the word reverend de-
fines the word holy. God is august and
this springs largely from his purity.
The prominent idea in the word holiness,
when applied to men, is purity. God made
man in his own image. This image was
lost by sin and is restored by grace. The
change which is produced on and in the sim
ner is designed to purify him from all sin
and fit him for the service of God in this
world and the enjoyment of God in the next.
The idea of fitness also enters into the
word holiness. The existence of sin, either
in its guilt or pollution, units us both for
theservice and the enjoyment of God. The
removal of the guilt of sin opens the way
for the removal of it's pollution and this is
followed by purity. The death of Jesus
Christ takes away the guilt of sin, and the
Holy Spirit cleanses from the pollution of
sin and works in us to will and to do the
pleasure of the Lord. God alone is abso-
lutely pure, hence God alone is absolutely
holy. Such being the case perfect holiness
can be found in no creature. Even the an
gels are chargeable with folly in the sight Of
God.
The special work of Gods Holy Spirit is
to remove sin from the soul of man and re-
store it to the image Of God. This work
begins in regeneration and is carried on
during the presentlife and will be continued
throughout an endless eternity.

CRUSHED AGAIN.-On an incoming Van
dalia train was family of five-a fat, good
natured man, his wife, pretty but nervous
lady, and gracious knows twas enough to
make her nervous, the trouble she had with
their three children. The eldest, boy of
six, mashed his hand by pulling the win
dow down on it. A little later at sudden
jerk of the train, he turned sommersault,
brushing and gashiIg his head. Then the
half year old baby upset the alcohol lamp
from the windowsill, which frightened the
mother nearly into mysteries, which was a
signal for all the children to set up in cho-
rus. But during the next five minutes,
when that half-distracted woman was try
ing to stop the music, that fat man from the
seat back of her looked on without an eff
fort-he was really charming in his COM
placency. When quiet reigned again the
wife said with sigh:

nsy- No master is so exacting as the devil,
and no other master has so little regard for
his servants as the devil has for his. Never
during period of near six thousand years
has the devil failed to desert his servants
in the moment when they most needed as
sistance. He gets his subject into difficulties
of all kinds and never yet has extricated
them from single one. Serving the devil
is the cOnsummation of folly.

nag Whenever the sinner is overtaken in

sorry indeed. So long, however, as his sins
are covered from the sight of his fellow-men

look as cheerful as babe. "Thou God seest

FIVE LITTLE ONLYs.-Only a stray sun
some some wretched abode, gladdened some

way through the leafy branches of wood,

But how many aching brows hath it fan
ned, how many hearts have been cheered
by its gentle touch! Only frown! But it
left sad, dreary void in the child's heart:
the quiverng lips and fearful eyes told how
keenly he felt it. Only smile! But, ah,
it cheered the broken heart, engendered o
ray of hope and cast halo of light around
the unhappy patient, Only a word of en-
couragement, a single word 1t gives to
the dropping spirit new life, and the steps
pass on to victory.

town was appealed to for help in the erec-
ton of new church building, but excused
himself on the plea that he had so many
claims to meet. He promised, however, to
consider the matter, and give his answer
the next morning. When the visitor called
again, he said, "After you left, took up a
London paper, and there read that of 100
people IS years of age, only Is will live to
the age of 10. am 50 years of age, and ac-
cording to that list have scarcely Is years
of life 1eft-the probabilities are I shall be
among the IS who die before reaching that
age. All that I do must do quickly. l
thought after you left wonld give you s2O
Here is my offering, with my best wishes
and prayers" The visitor receiveda closed
envelope and left-with his thanks for what
he supposed was $50. But reaching home,
he opened the envelope, and found enclosed
a check for one thousand dollars with slip
pinned on bearing the legend, ''The time is
Short" The truth of the incident is vouch-
ed for by the writer. There seems to be no
need of comment; the story is sermon in
itself.

The facts in the Berner case which
caused the fearful riots at Cincinnati are
as follows: A short while before last
Christmas a horse trader named Kirk
disappeared and soon after his body was
found in a stream with rope around his
neck showing that he he'd been strangled.
Berner was arrested and made confess
ion. Kirk slept in stable belonging to
Berner's father. The young man knew
he had considerable money and himself
and negro planned his murder. They
went in company to the barn, beat Kirk
into state of insensibility aud then pro-
curing rope deliberately strangled him
after which his body was removed to the
river. Berner attempted to conceal
nothing. The trial lasted for some time
but no one expected anything other than
verdict of murder in the frat degree.
When the jury returned verdict of
manslaughter the judge pronounced it an
outrage. The whole city was soon in
fever heat with Indignation. Some of
the most respectable citizens called q
meeting to denounce the jury and the
lawyers on the defense. When the crowd
collected they grew SO incensed that they
rushed for the Jail battered down the
doors and demanded Berner. Finding
that he had been taken away they de-
handed another murderer, but just as
they reached his cell, the police got con-
troll of the mob and they were driven out.
The militia soon afterwards arrived and
with the usual judgment of peace SOL
diers fired upon the people killing quite
number. This action inf1amed the city
and the night following, the mob swelled
to 20, 900 and regular war was inaug-
Grated.
