Here we having an understanding of
what happened with Jesus after His
BODY was laid in the tomb. He went
and preached to the spirits who We're
In prison. What spirits? Those that
We're disobedient in the days OF Noah.
Whlle the ark was preparing, when the
Hood came and destroyed them all.
Their spirits had been shut up in pris-
on. The gates OF hell prevailed against
them. But Christ went" and preached
to the spirits in prison." What did
He preach? In the next chapter Won
VIII learn. The 9Th verse of the ith
chapter reads thus;
FOR for this cause was the Gospel
preached also to them that are dead.
that they might be Judged according
to men in the flesh. but live according
to God in the Spirit
Here were people in the spirit world,
ana Christ went and preached to
them; He preached the same Gospel to
them that He preached to men In the
flesh, that they might be judged by
the same law and Gospel-judged ac-
cording to men in the flesh. but live
according TO God in the spirit. And
this is what Is meant 10y that. TO some
people. obscure passage that when He
was assembled up on high He led cap
tivlty captive" He went to the prison
house and released the captlyes.
Isaiah predicted this hundreds of years
before He WAS born. and He read this
prediction in the synagogue one Sum
day;
"'rhe spirit Of the Lord God is upon
me, because the Lord hath anolnted
me to preach good tidings unto the
meek. He hath sent me 10 bind up the
broken-hearted, to proclaim liberty to
the captives, and the opening of the
prison to them that are bound" isaiah
Xxi. l. Luke Nv, 1S)
Christ went during tho Time tbot
elapsed between His death and resur-
rection to preach 10 the spirits in
prison. The gates of hell did not pre-
vail against Him. He prevailed
against them. When He appeared to
the Apostle John. as we read in the
book OF Revelation, He said. 81 have
the keys OF hell and Of death" (Rev.
1, 1s.)
Now, Jesus Christ told His disciples:
"As my Father hath sent me. even 20
me, the works that I do shall he do
also; and greater works than these
shall he do; because | go unto my
! Father" So the mission Of Christ's
Apostles related not only to the pro-
claiming of the Gospel TO every cren-
ture living, and to the sealing ON
earth that which should be sealed In
heaven. ana looslng on earth thar
which should be loused IN heaven; hut
they had power to penetrate into the
under world, TO preach 20 the spirits
In prison; TO prevail over the gates OF
hell, 60 continue the work commenced
by our Lord and Savior, their spiritual
/ head.

continue ON the earth from the days
of the Apostles right down to the end
of time, because Christ said the gates
of hell shSuld not prevail against His
Church, or against this spirit of reve-
lation, which ever you please to under
stand from this text. Some hold the
view that Christ meant that the gates
of hell should not prevail against this
spirit of revelation. Others hold the
view that He meant the Church. "On
this rock will l build my Church. and
the gates of hell shall not prevail
against it." In either case-whether II
refers to the spirit of revelation, on
which the Church is founded, or
whether 1t refers to the Church Itself
II is very clear that the gates of hell
should be no bar against the power of
His Spirit and the power of His
Church. Where are the gates of hell?
Not on earth. We have to depart from
the body in order to learn something
about the gates OF hell-aud / am
afraid n great many of us win learn
something about them unless we alter
our lives The gates of hell shall not
prevail against the Church. Then the
Church, or this spirit of revelation,
Tor BOTH was to have an action over
and above the power of the gates of
hell. Let us see how this was:
Jesus preached the Gospel In the
flesh while He remained on earth. He
was crucitied on the cross. His body
was taken down and laid In a new
tomb hewn out of the rock, in which
no man had laid; and stone was
rolled to the door OF that sepuchre.
and Roman soldiers were placed there
to guard II. on the third day that stone
was rolled away, and the body that
had lain In that tomb came forth.
That same person who was lifted up on
the cross, and who cried, 1T is fin
ished" and gave up the EhOst-that
same individual walked IN the garden
and met Mary, one of His disciples.
She Mt first supposed 1t was the gar
dener, and learning that the body had
gone from the tomb. she said; Tell
me where thou hast laid Him" Then
Jesus called her by name. and she
recognized Him. and sprang forward
as il to embrace Him, and He said;
"Tuuch me not; for / am not yet

on Christ, and have received of HIS
Spirit, have received that Holy Ghost,
which is the light of God, the spirit OF
revelation. II is promised unto an
md chapter Of Acts, which i referred
to lust now; when you go home. read
the whole chapter, and learn how the
Apostles came together with one ac-
cord on a certain day, and Goa poured
out upon them this Holy Spirit ana
sled, and rejoiced In the Lord, and testi-
fed to the mission of Jesus Christ.
People who had come from various
parts of the world to worship at Jeru-
salem, were gathered together to hear
this wonderful thng-these men
speaking in various tongues; ana AFTER
Peter had explained the whole CIR
cu,nstances. they were "pricked In
their hearts" They began to see that
the nation to which they belonged
had actually crucifed the Messiah
who was to come and redeem them,
and they cried out, "Men ana orethreh;
what shall we do?" In the 3ith and
ssth verses of that chapter you will
read these words
"Then Peter said unto them. Repent,
and be baptized every one of you In
the name of Jesus Christ for the re-
mission of sins, and We shall receive
the gift of the Holy Ghost.
For the promise is unto you, and to
your children, and to all that are afar
off, even as many as the Lord our
God shall call"
The promise is to every one that the
Lord shall call. What is the promise?
Why, that they shall have the Holy
Ghost, the spirit of revelation, the light
of God that bears witness. of the
truth, that manifests the Father and
the Son, and that bears witness that
% No 10 fqt No
Son of the living God. That is the
privilege of every soul on earth who
will repent and be baptized for the
remission of sins. And the Church of
Christ is made up OF people who be-
lieve, who have repented. who have
remitted, and have had the Holy
Ghost conferred upon them by the
laying ON of hands as you can read in
the Sth chapter of the Acts of the
Apostles, and many other places that

that Spirit there can he no true

STARVATION AND BRUTALITY.
Provisions Scarce and Spanish Sold
iers Threaten to Revolt.

Tales of starvation and brutality
come from ali sources in Cuba. says II
Globe Democrat dispatch. The poor
people in the country are refused all
medical attention. They can not buy
medicine even if on the outskirts of a
town, and they are dying by the hun
dreds like so many cattle. Over 100
were buried at Matanzas recently, the
corpses being shoveled in big open
trenches day by day, a party of soldiers
being detailed for the purpose each
day.
Provisions are scarce in the garrison
towns, and the Spanish commanders
are alarmed over the proSp ects OF get
ting food for their men. Runors that
Weylcr is implicated in the meat spec
ulations have reached the soldiers, and
they are on the verge of mutiny. In
5ancti Spiritus. Holguin, Santa Clara
and ott er points several military eX-
ecutionS have taken place, soldiers be-
ing shot for insubOrdir alton to pre-
serve army discipline. In Havana the
poor people are growing, and any
moment riots may break out. Meat
has risen so that few of the poorer
classes can purchase it, and great des-
titutiOn prevails.
Details have just been received here
OF another horrible outrage committed
by Spanish guerrillas on pacificos
in Matzanas Province. y number of
paciticos who were near Ca
denas procured permits to go to
the seashore and attempt to
obtain food. There were thiriy-four
in all, twenty being women, girls and
children. A band of Spanish guerril-
las followed them the next week.
Hearing that they were being pursued
and likely to be raided, all the Cubans
fled to some caves near waterfall on
a creek west of CardenaS The guer-
rillaS found them and ascertaining
that the cave was too well defended for
them to capture it, sent word in for
them to surrender. This was refused.
as the pacitcOs knew what fate would
await them. The gueri las then prom
ised that If they would give up their
women and girls they would allow the
men to escape.
Several shots were fired at the
spokesman as he made these terms, and
the Spanish retired, swearing veng-
eance. They blocked up the cave and
prepared to turn the water course. so
that the creek water would flow into
the cave. The doomed Cubans saw
the preparations, but could not pre-
vent them. They steadily refused to
surrender. Finally the water was
turned on. and in five hours the cave
was flooded The Spani4rds then turn
ed off the water. One young fellow
managed TO climb to the roof of the
cave, and in some way obtained air
enough to prolong his life until the
guerrillas left, when he made his way
out. Neigh boring Cubans arrived and
the bodies were found.
