Christian is errontous. It Is FOOLS
paradise and a towards castle. It is
hard enough to make the invisible world
real and apparent anyway and much
more difficult when this world Is spurn-
ed and ignored.
The true conception of church is not
only that it breaches 9 Christ who saves
men, but also a Christ who saves soci-
ETY.. The spirit of Christ is to permeate
business. education and politics. The
church Isl to take q vital interest in
every question that will enhance the
happiness and prosperity of the people.
None who look for light and sympathy
should fail to find it. Christ and his
teachings must be made the center Of
all life.
Our present Industrial system is far
removed from the Sermon on the Mount.
Everything has changed, but commerce
remains with its cold atmosphere and
machinery of the middle ages. AS a
result there is an uncomfortable feel
ing and threatened revolution among
the masses which must be needed to
avert disaster. The revolution is i'm
pending, and we blush with shame to
think that it Is largely untempered and
uninstructed by the religion of Christ
simply because the church has stood
aloof and has failed to commend her
self in sympathy to the sorrows and
struggles of humanity IF the revolu-
ton comes by bullet or ballot, and the
new reign is anti-church or atheistic,
like France. it will be because the
church had no hand in settling it ac-
cording to the spirit of Christ It will
be because the church was muzzled and
dare not speak out on living questions.
our Master commands us to go preach
the Kingdom of God" which is love,
/ JOY, peace, long-suffering and gentle
ness. We do not need state church,
out we need religious state. We need
Christ to reign in all the realms Of
life: We need to follow in the footsteps
OF divine love, and preach the gospel of
good will toward men.

gratitude give you my testimonial SO as
to let others know what your wonderful
belt has done for me. made application
to your Sam Francisco office some months
ago, but was skeptical and did not pur-
chase until after l had seen your belt at
your office in this city. / was In bad shape
at that time. I had lost the use of my
limbs by repeated and severe attacks of
rheumatism. l was SO bad that could not
get around without aid. lost my sexual
power and had been impotent for years.
doctored with many of the leading ply
sicians OF the coast, but could not regain
my health. l then went to New York city,
and again was under treatment, but with
out beneficial results. / came back to the
west again feeling that 1 must end my
days In misery and pain.
Such was my condition at the time
purchased your belt last June. The first
time / applied 1t felt relieved, and now
after its use for little over three months
1 am as strong as any man of my age-65
years.
Marvellous as 1t may seem, your belt has
done the work. and done 1t well. 1 am
now free from rheumatism, having gained
the use of my limbs My sexual power has
also returned and l feel like a new man.

any time to verify the above.

Jesus. that name that recalls to our
mind q friend, q brother, a Saviour?
Yet the great Apostle tells us that no
man can pronounce that name with the
proper reverence and respect unless
the Holy Ghost himself places it on his
lips. What more easy, 1t appears to US,
than to have good thoughts? Yet the
Apostle declares that we are, ourselves.
incapable of producing such, and that
they come from God.
First principle Of religoin-Man can
do nothing in the supernatural order.
or the order OF salvation, without the
aid of grace.
Second principle Of religion-We can
accomplish every duty in the supernat-
ural order and remove every obstacle
thrown in the way Of our salvation by
the aid Of grace.
There is no obstacle that grace can
not Conquer. Behold the triumphs of
grace in st. Paul, Mary Magdalen, the
| apostles. disciples, the early Christians,
and In the whole history of the church
There is no pain that grace does not
soften or alleviate. Witness the tri-
umph of grace in the early martyrs. in
delicate young girls. in mere children,
virtue that grace will not enable us to
practice. 1t enabled Abraham to obey
God In the most terrible of commands
that could be given to father; it sus-
tanned Jacob in the midst of the most
narrowing disgrace. and preserved Jo-
seph from the flames of impurity.
| Third principle of religion-Grace, no
matter how powerful, does nothing with
| out our cooperation or consent. God
! has placed fire and water before man;
God has left man in his own hands,
man can choose as he pleases, but he
| VIII have to answer to God for his
choice. If man is lost, If he perishes
eternally, it is his own fault. "Destrvc-
tion is thy own, o Israel" does God saw
to every soul that is lost. Jesus will
say to each reprobated soul: What
more could l have done for you than ]
have done?" God wills not the death
of any sinner, but that he be converted
and live" Reprobated souls prefer to
follow other teachings than those of the
Saviour, and must therefore expect the
consequences of their free action. Since
they prefer to follow the maxims of the
| t'rlnce of Darkness and his agents in
this world. it is but just that they should
abide forever in the realm of confusion.
| disorder and misery.
| Since we can do nothing without
grace for our salvation, it is clear thai
we should husband carefully each
grace God bestows upon us, and pray
most earnestly and daily that his holy
| viii be fulfilled in us.
Second-Since grace is all sufficient
Ior us, we ought never to despair. but

! God to lift us out of our miseries and
guide us to his kingdom.

When you see the testimony of man
like Mr.. Burt, who not only has regain
ed the use Of his limbs, but has had his
manhood restored, you can no longer
doubt as to cure from DIR. Sanden's
Electric Belt.
You know that electricity is a cure
for nervous and chronic diseases, and
scientists tell us that mild, continuous
current of electricity applied for long
time is superior to a strong current
applied for short time.
Such current of electricity will be
found in DR.. Sanden's Belt. The book,
"Three Glasses of Men," should be read
by every man that is weak. 1t is free
upon application.

CHRIST, THE CENTER OF LIFE.
The Churchs Mission to Leaven Society
Rev. George E. Dye.


Last evening Rev. George e. Dye
preached sermon at the East Side Bap-
tist church from the text, Let the dead
bury their dead. Follow thou Me. Go
thou and preach the kingdom of God"
He said in brief:
I'VE are in world of the dead. Not
the dead whose marble slabs glisten in
the sun. but those who are dead to all
spiritual vitality and sensibility. Man
is created in successive stories as II
were, the under story identified with
matter; the middle story is intellectual
with reason and affections; the dome of
spirituality crowning all. Out from this
upper dome man looks out upon the
spiritual and communes with God. The
image of God in man has been marred
by sin. The fall shattered the dome.
Death entered by sin and the dead are
constantly burying the dead.
Christ is the Lord of life. We see Him
speak to the widow of Mains son and He
lives; we hear Him shout, Lazarus,
come forth!' and the beloved brother is
given again to his sisters full of joy and
life. So He speaks to the spiritually dead.
Follow Me. Go thou and preach the
Kingdom of Cod We first get life and
then we impart IT.. Getting life in con-
version. Giving life is evangelization,
The Dead sea is called dead because it
receives put never gives out. Some pro-
fessed Christians are dead because thew
never impart to others, never speak a
KIND word, do kind act or utter pray
er for others. The first qualification for
preaching the kingdom Of God is to be
a subject in it. Obey, then work. Live,
then do.
Christ is the Lord of society. One of
the most serious blunders of the church
today is in supposing that the clergy are
q sort of a caste, alone ordained to do
the work Of Christ. The apostles were
left at Jerusalem while the laymen were
scattered and went preaching the gospel
of Christ. The world will never be
brought to Christ until the laymen win
souls and do spiritual as well as secular
work. Preachers are not a privileged
caste. They are no better than other
people. They eat, drink and die, lust
like other folks Why. place them on
pedestal to admire and in actions say.
You do the spiritual work and we. the
people, will do the secular work Christ's
commission is to all, Go thou and preach
the kingdom of Cod Christ only is
Lord. The dominant idea of the church
today is the 'Pharasaic' idea. 1t is the
idea of the hermit, viz, that Christians
should be as far as possible separated
from the world and have nothing to do
with public questions. Its efforts are
so concentrated on making men fit for
the next world that it forgets all about
this world. This view is unnatural. un-

REVIVAL SERVICES.

The noted revivalist, Rev. S. Smith,
still continues to conduct his revival at
the Mount Zion Baptist church, corner
Second and Rose streets. Multitudes
flock to hear him, and on last Sunday
night the auditorium was densely
packed long before services COM
menced.
The reverend gentleman took for his
text John, xviii, 18th verse: "Sanctify
them through thy truth, for thy word
is truth" Through Mr.. Smiths preach
ing numbers have been added to the
church, and at least twelve converts are
prepared for baptism. The congrega-
tion intend getting a hall, as the pres
ent edifice cannot accommodate the
vast crowds which gather nightly to
hear the evangelist.

One word brought on another, and the
