Evidences Of Salvation.

To the Editor of the INV DoNrNioS.
Salvation is not obtained by seek
ing something outside of ourselves.
In Luke II, 20-23 it is said that the
Kingdom of God does not come by
observation or outside show, but it is
within us. In Romans 10.6-7.8.9 we
are taught that we need not ascend
into heaven to bring Christ down nor
descend into the deep to bring him up,
but that the word is in u.s. 1t being
true that God and his Kingdom are
within us-how foolish to seek him
without u.s. And il it does not come
by observation nor outside show, it
is equally absurd for any one to pro-
fess and believe he is saved because
he has feeling or experience he new
er had before. There would be just
as much sense and certainty in a
man saying when testifying in court
as witness that he felt the -accus-
ed was innocent or guilty as for a
man to say he was saved because he
felt he was. Lord, save the people
from such folly? How do the script
ures say man knows he is saved?
Matt. 1917; John 2, 3-5; 1924;
Alb; Romans SIG; let us notice the
last reference-the spirit bears wit
ness with our spirit that we are the
children of God. What is witness
but one who testifies to a fact or
event he sees or knows! Then the
witness of the spirit with ours is
not creating an emotion in us but
the testifying by the scriptures that
the fruits of the spirit of love in US
as enumerated in Gal. 5, % 90, are of
God. What is the office of the spir-
it as regards mans salvation? John
IA, 16-17-26; 1926; 16, 7-S-9-10-11-
1914. These declare him to be the
teacher and helper of men, revealing
truth to and impressing itupon their
minds and not by acting upon and
stirring up their natural sensibilities
filling them with gush and emo
tion. As salvation is by faith only,
Ephesians 2-S, and faith comes by
hearing, and hearing by the word of
God, Rom. 1917, then salvation is
obtained by hearing the gospel and
understanding it, the Holy Ghost
through the truth revealing Christ
unto us, Matt. 1917; John 1926; /
Cor. 1913; II Cor. 3-5, and we surren-
dering our will to God and becom-
ing and continuing to be obedient to
his will as he reveals it in the script

SERVED HIS SEVEN YEARS.
Romance Of a former Kentucky Pastor
. Across the Seas to Claim the Hand
of His First Love.

PARIS, KY, Feb. l4.-Rev. Geo. T..
Walden, formerly pastor of the
Christian Church at Millersburg,
this county, is the hero of quite a
little romance. Seven years ago,
when he left his home at Melbourne,
Australia, to enter the Bible College
of Kentucky University, at Licking
ton, he broke an engagement with
his lady love, Miss Alice Virce, in
order to leave her fancy free during
his seven years absence. After sue
cessfully shielding off the darts of
several of our most noted Blue Grass
bellies and finishing his theological
education, he returned to the land of
his nativity. There were kindled
anew the long pent up flames which
had been dormant in his bosom for
so many years, and in the latter days
of December he made Miss Virce his
bonnie bride. Elder Walden has
been the recipient of showers of let
tiers from his many Kentucky friends
bearing the warme st congratulation.
He was one of the most popular and
talented young ministers ever turned
out of college in the State.

The Trouble of Writing.

One reason why women do not
write more is because they have no
really handy place into which to slip
where they can pick up pen and paper.
They have to spend as much time
gathering materials together as it
takes to write the first page; and in
that case, the thinking about writ
ing and making up the mind to it
are the worst part of the work.
Business men have no such trials.
But tho farmer who comes in at night
tired with the days tasks finds it
very hard indeed to write, even to
absent children, unless there is a
writing desk ready to almost manu-
facture letter. 1t will do it with a
few pen scratches. 1t is essential to
every real home that such a writing
place be provided; for no home has
selfishness enough to live entirely
alone. The people who write the
most welcome letters are those who
write all the little happenings Of
each day, and who feel that what,
ever interests them will interest t g
correspondents, in short, those who
sit down and "talk" with the pen
until the head is SO full Of what they
want to say that the mind simply
ouiruns the fingers.

AN EXCITING CHASE.
A Posse Pursues the Men Who Shot
Merchant st. Clair.
Pittsburg Post


L. X. st. Clair, who was shot by
burglars in front of his store in Will
kinsburg early yesterday morning,
was lying in prccarious condition
at last accounts. The ball pierced
the left lung, and all efforts at prob
ing for it were futile. st. Clair is
unmarried and aged about twenty
eight years. He received the shot
in the lung after he had been shot
through the leg and had fallen upon
his knees. After discovering the
burglars in his store he pursued
them out the front door, firing from
his revolver as he ran. He shot five
times, and it is thought one of the
fugitives was winged. Neither were
hurt sufficiently to prevent their
running, however, and both made
their escape. A posse was organized
by Squire Creelman, and the men
were tracked through the fresh snow
for almost eight miles. Their tracks
were finally lost among those Of the
men going to work in the Duquesne
Steel Works, and the race was aban-
doned. The citizens Of Williamsburg
are determined the burglars shall
be run down If possible, and last
night the town council met and offer.
ed reward Of $500 for information
leading to the arrest of the guilty
parties.
Previous to the shooting Of St
Clair the hardware store of Brown &
Hackett was robbed, and the suppo-
sition is there were two gangs at
work. Two men are now in Jail
charged with robbing the store Of
Mr.. St. Clair two months ago.

How to be Graceful.

Of valuable education who hurrief
away to school, morning and after
noon. without having used her mus
Giles in helping her mother. She
misses something else. which in Q
few years, she will know to value
better than she knows now-grace
of movement and carriage.
What makes q girl graceful? II
is using all her bodily powers. A
student who is nothing but stu
dent soon begins to stoop, and thu
habit once begun, grows inveteratt
and incurable. Half our school
girls cannot walk with case and
grace.
We see this on Commencement
DAYS, when the members of the grad
uating class are obliged to walk 9
few steps before the audience. Theil
dresses are often too costly and
splendid; their hair is beautifully
arranged; their pieces are creditably
written. One thing they lack-they
cannot walk.
A girl who would have graceful
carriage, sound digestion, cleai
complexion and fine teeth, must work
for them every day, and no work is
better for the purpose than the ordin-
airy work of house done with dill
gence and carefulness.
