is the symbol of it's instinct Of the
aWfulness Of sin. 1t is from that aw-
fulness itself we must be saved, not
from its symbol. Estranged from God,
smut out from participation in His
plans, without the sense of acuuaint-
ance and friendship with divine
Father; that is the condition of one
who sins; the admission into Gods
counsels, the growing into acquaint-
ance with God, in knowledge of whom
standeth our eternal life-that is sal
walton.
And now isn't it plain that saliva
ton is not an event. once for all &C
complished? On the theory that it is
a transaction whereby we gain I'M
munity from future calamity, of course
1t can be attended to at any time This
is the reason why the notion has
grown up that religion does not con-

perfectly valid excuse, revivalists have
to talk of railroad disasters, ship
wrecks, life accidents and fatal fires.
and eXhort the Indifferent on the
ground that tonight may be the last
chance"
The higher conception does not think
OF SalVatlOn as transaction to be COM
pleted, but as process continually GO
ing on. Because 1t is deliverance, not
from future horror, but from pres
ent and continual horror I must be
saved daily. Thirty souls were saved
last night" announces the evangelist.
Thank God if they were, but also pray
God the same thirty may be saved to-
day and tomorrow, and every day. To-
days temptations will not be tomor-
rows, and yesterdays salvation will
not save me from tomorrow's sins
Jesus taught us the great prayer for
salvation; His words are not, After
this manner therefore pray We: Our
Father which art in heaven-save us
from hell,' but deliver us from evil
1t is from sin we are to ask salvation,
and we are to ask it as often as we
pray for daily bread.
Men and women, is not this some
thing you want? do not exhort you
to put yourselves in the way of es-
Gaping punishment hereafter; I do ex-
hort you to allow yourselves to be
saved from that which is not your true
selves, from that which you were never
intended to. be, a victim of sin-to
yourselves, to the image of God, in
which you were made, to purity and
honor and holy courage and maniiness.

heart of humanity will throb again in
response to the preaching Of it's thrill
ing meaning. Let us try to win back
one Of the words which cant has seized;
| what is "salvation?
| There is one very straightforward
| answer: 1t is deliverance from punish
| ment. Men are born sinners They
| deserve punishment for what their
| fathers did, and they soon deserve it
for their own guilt. And there is pun
| ishment provided; Gods universe lacks
full as He can be and continue just, so
1000 years ago He drew up a plan Of
| salvation" He sent His Son to the
| earth In order that He might suffer in
! finite agony, dying on the cross; this
suffering the good God allows to apply
on the punishment of any who will, in
| another mystical phrase, accept" It.
| In this way they are saved; that is,
the penalty for their sins is RENTED;
they need not go to hell
1t is not the mere denial of any the
Dry that will help us; there is no force
in negatives. May it not be that men
continue to preach the old blood
thirsty theory, which they don't half
believe, which they are ashamed Of,
| and which, therefore, they obscure till
the word has become vacant of mean
ing, because somehow they feel certain
that there is such a thing as salvation,
and that, whatever it may be, it is
something very desirable and precious
And may it not be that this feeling Is
reliable, and that there is indeed a
| higher thought, of which the escape
| from-hell conception is the gross, mate
| realistic statement?
There is nobler conception, and a
true one, and I can put it before you
| In few words. Truth never needs ar
gument; it needs only to be stated; it
bears witness to itself We redeem
that word back to the deep meaning
with which Jesus employed it when
| we make it stand for deliverance from
! far worse thing than hell-from sin.

A Bottle at Sea.
Boston Herald

Boston Herald. -
On the goth of August last, as a party Of
business men of Pawtucket, R. l., was enjoy
ing day Of fishing on Long Island sound.
the idea was preached to throw over a bottle
and see how long 1t would be before the bot
tie was found on shore, and how long before
the party would get word from it. So note
was written asking the finder of the bottle
to forward the note to the address of one of
the party in this city as soon as 1t was
found and as a little incentive to the finder
to take this trouble and the expense of mall
ing, dime was placed in the bottle with
the note. Then the bottle was tightly cork
ed and thrown into the sound. Day before
yesterday morning the man whose address
was on the note received letter from James
bottled note, and stating that the bottle was
picked up by him on the 10th inst, on the
south shore of Shelter island-just three
months to day from the time it was thrown
over.

Ephesians H., 8: "By grace are we saved

Saved? Saved from what? What is
this talk about being saved that
goes on in the book from which preach

Now, soberly and candidly, what is
that?"
A good many times words are used
merely for the sake of their pious
sound. The use of the shibboleth is
an easy trick. Too readily are the
great, rich, splendid words Of life and
religion taken upon lips which, using
them as cant, make them empty and
profane sounds. That is why the truths
of Christianity have no greater hold
upon men today. Grace" ''inspira-

men hear these phrases repeated in the
prevailing religious jargon till they
imagine them to be mythical symbols

understand. Only let some great soul

talk plainly as one man with another,

upon being opened their contents re-
vealed articles belonging not only to
Miss Clausen. but also to Miss Samuel
sen, the other missing girl. There were
found crochet work, tides, crazy quilts
and other things intended for interior
decorations. The articles belonging to
Miss Samuelsen were positively iden-
titled by the missing girls aunt. Then
it was that the authorities began to

MORE EVIDENCE OF MURDER.

investigation proceeded, and in the
basement of the edifice were found I'M

Alongside of the furnace stood barrel,
and when subjected to an examination
human blood was found upon it. There
were several old copies of The Her

streak of red across the front, which

was evident that the murderer of Miss
Clausen had used the barrel as a block

inches-and would not admit whole

THE FIRST MOVE.
Instituted BY John Hanson, For
merly Methodist Minister.

To John Hanson belongs the credit
of making the first move which led to
the discovery Of the greatest crime in
the history of Utah. Mr.. Hanson, as
previously stated, resides in the second
story of the church. He was formerly
a Methodist minister, but lately has
followed journalism. He is a gentle
man OF refinement and intelligence and
the story which led to the finding of
the charred bones supposed to be those
belonging to Henrietta Clausen are
best told in his own words.
Ever since the disappearance of Miss
Clausen," began Mr.. Hanson when ap-
preached by Herald man." we have
suspicioned that something was wrong.
Of course. no one thought that such
tragedy could have been possible. We
thought the disappearance was en-
shrouded in such peculiar circuln-
stances that my wife caused to be in
serted in a Scandinavian paper at
Portland, an inquiry as to the where
abouts Of the missing girl. This was
during the early part of last fall and
also during the past winter. OF course,
all search was in vain and I began to

AVA, Mo-, May 23.-The members of
the Sawyer family, consisting of faith
er, mother and grown up son, wererdis-
covered in their home, one mile east
of this place, today, foully murdered.
Ernest E. Sawyer, the son, had stab
wounds in the throat and breast, had
both jaws broken and head and face
beaten into jelly. He had evidently
been murdered in the barn and the
badly dragged into the house. The skulls
of both father and mother were crush
ed in. Mrs. Sawyer's left arm was also
broken, evidently in trying to ward off
a murderous blow. The three bodies
were found piled together under a bed.
The doors of the small log cabin in
which the family lived were both fas-
tened and the window blinds had been
drawn. On the front door was card,
upon which had been scrawled the
words: I'VE are gone to Ozark; will
be back Monday or Tuesday"
This is supposed to have been left by
the murderer. The object of the crime
appears to have been robbery. The
Sawyers came here from Linn county,
Iowa, last November, and were peace
able, hard working people. They are
known to have had about $50 in the
cabin Their team and wagon are
missing. The murder is believed to
have been committed Wednesday even
ing. A young man who recently came
here from northern Kansas and who
was seen in company with young Saw
yer on Wednesday evening is missing
There is strong suspicion against him.
Should he be apprehended and there
be discriminating evidence against him,
he will surely be lynched.

sensation increased. The Importance of
this feature was fully appreciated, and
The Herald prepared for a great de-
mand for papers. Extra bundles were
sent TO all of the nearby towns and a
big supply was kept on hand in the
counting room. But the demand ex-
ceeded all estimates. The newsboys
sold papers by the hundreds and every
one wanted a Herald. People called at
the business office in one steady stream
and the presses were kept running I'M
til IL a. m. The rush continued
throughout the day. and late at night
people who had failed to secure a
copy came up to the editorial rooms.
SOMEWHAT PERSONAL.
The news of the discoveries was of
such a startling nature that a few peo-
pie tried to discredit it. They shortly
discovered, however, that the story was
correct in all its details and that there
was much more to come. Then these
interested parties volunteered the in
formation that The Herald had in some
way, they didn't know how, violated a
compact
All of which is bosh. The facts are
simply that on Friday afternoon, the
city editor Of the paper, by the merest
chance, came upon a clue to the case.
With reporter, an investigation was
started, and by evening, the outlines of
the story had been secured, but it was
not until o'clock yesterday morning
that the details had been filed in.
During the entire time, not one word

A Price ON His Head.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 23.-It is now
known that j. e. Blanther, the ex-
Hungarian officer who is suspected of
the murder of Mrs. Langfeldt, went to
Los Angeles. The Pullman and dining
car conductors of the train which left
here for Los Angeles last Saturday
night say that Blanther was a passen-
ger on the train. They have positively
identified photographs of him, as those
of a. passenger on their train. The
attention of the men was particularly
called to Blanther, because he ate all
his meals in the dining car without re-
moving his gloves. 1t is known that in
cutting Mrs. Langeldts throat, the
murderer also cut one of his hands,
and it is supposed that desire to
conceal this wound prompted Blan-
Their to wear gloves.
SACRAMENTO, Cal, May 23.-Gov-
ernor Budd has offered reward of
$1,000 for the arrest of Joseph Blanther,
who is believed to have murdered Mrs
Philopena Langeldt, at San Francisco
