What the Epistle to the Romans is.
The Epistle is substantially and essen
TALLY a treatise on ethics; that is, an ex-
position of the principles which lead to
right moral state in mar = THOMAS
ERsKINE.
What is Salvation?-If we really be-
lieve that the great object of the Saviour's
mission to this earth was to save men
from their sins, we shall also believe that
salvation means a deliverance not from
punishment, but from sin. The only con-
ceivable way of effecting this salvation is
by ceasing from sin, that is, by becom-
ing righteous. THOMAS ERsKINE.
How Faith Justifies; that is, makes
Just.-The belief that it is the purpose of
God to draw all men to true righteousness,
and that this purpose will surely be &C
complished in the case of every individual
was in the mind of Paul a most important
help towards possessing the faith which
justities or makes man religious and this
for an obvious reason. He believed that
mans righteousness consists in, or at least
is produced by, absolute filial trust in I'll e
lUNC VI anu Hc saw III HIS
purpose the strongest demonstration of
that love; he probably also thought that
no one in whose mind there turks even the
shadow of suspicion that he may some
day, by the force of temptation, so sepa-
rate himself from God as to be finally lost
can possibly maintain this filial trust in
him.-THoMAs ERsKINE.
The Basis of Justification or Right
eousness.-The root and basis of all hui
man righteousness must be the assurance
that God is indeed our Father and can
never cease to be so; that he loves us not
because we are worthy of his love but be-
cause he is our Father, and that his eter-
nal purpose toward us is purpose of in
finite love, to draw us out of all our I'M
worthiness into perfect filial trust, and so
into perfect participation of his own right
eousness and blessedness. THOMAS Frs
kline.
The Simple Philosophy of the Epis-
tie to tho ROmans.-We are not to make
ourselves sons by exercising trust, but to
exercise trust in the belief that we are al
ready sons.-THoMAs ERKsINE.

entire Epistle. 1t teaches that faith, the
faith that was in Christ and comes .to us
through him, is the power that saves from
sin and will overcome the world.-It
proclaims childhood to God as the supreme
religious fact Christianity does not
create our childhood to God, but reveals
it.-We should trust God to overcome
every opposing will in the universe. The
summation of Paul's argument, its in
spring conclusion, is, of Cod through
God, unto God, are all things. He will
bring his will to fulfilment; and his will
is Fathers will.

enemy to friend.
God is to conquer all rebellious wills,
by making them gladly acknowledge the

Paul's faith, must impress every candid

The propriety of giving attention to

fact that, in following the story of Acts,
we have arrived at the period when he
wrote it, and sent it by the deaconess

His object in writing it msnitestly
was to give to the infant church in
Rome, which he anticipated would be
the fountain of a controlling influence,

PERFECTION IN CAKE-MAKING.

HousekeeperS frequently wonder why it
is that they cannot make biscuit and cake
that are light and palatable and that taste
as delicious as the biscuit and cake made
by their mothers and grandmothers, the
delightful memory of which even to this
day creates a sensation of pleasure to the
palate The trouble arises from the high
ly adulterated state of the materials they
have to work with, particularly the
cream-of tartar and soda used to raise or
leaven the food. Cream -of-tartar and soda
that are now procurable for domestic pur-
poses contains large quantities of lime,
earth, alum and other authorizations, fire.
quently from five to twenty-five per cent,
and consequently vary so much in strength
that no person can tell the exact quantity
to use or properly combine them, to insure
perfect results. From using too much or
too little, or because of the adulterants
in them, bitter, salt, yellow, or heavy
biscuits or cakes are frequently made
Thess adulterants are also injurious to
health.
All this tronble may be avoided by the
use OF the popular Royal Baking Powder.
Where this preparation is employed in the
place of cream-of- tartar and soda, its per-
feet leavening power always insures light,
flaky, digestible biscuit, cakes and pastry,
that are perfectly wholesome and free
from the impurities invariably present
when the old raising preparations are en-
ployed.
The Royal Baking Powder, we are in
formed by the most reliable scientists, is
perfectly pure, being made from highly
refine ingredients, carefully tested and
so exactly proportional and combined that
it never fails to produce the best and uni
form results. An additional advantage in
its employment comes from the fact that
bread or other food made with it may be
eaten while hot without fear of indiges-
tion or any unpleasant results, while be-
ing equally sweet, moist, and grateful to
the palate when cold,

LESSON PREVIEW.-P Paul in due

and remained there, before starting for
Jerusalem, during the winter months of
A. D SIS At this period he wrote two
Epistles, the one to the Galatians, and
this one to the church in Rome He ha
not yet been to Rome, although it had
been his desire to go (AoTs xix. 81; Rom.

there formed appears to have been COM

from Jerusalem and carried with them

impossible such fact, if fact, could
not have escaped Paul's mention. The
Letter was written in Greek, and was
sent from Corinth to Rome by deaconess
named Phebe -Paul's design in writing
this elaborate Epistle was evidently, as
the apostle to the Gentiles, to instruct
the church in the chief center of Gentle
influence with regard to the fundamental
Christian doctrines. The trend of his
statement may be thus outlined; |. The

CHRISTIAN LIVING.
Lesson XI.-September 12, 1897.
INTRODUCTION.

What is Christian salvation? OF
all Gospel problems this is the most
vital. The general question may be
undivided. From what doee the Cos
pei. when effectually believed, save sim
full souls? Into what state or attitude
does it bring saved SOULS? What is the
saving power in the Gospel? How does
it exert it's saving power on sinful soulsf
To what extent will it finally exert it's
saving power in the universe?--This
question. in all its forms and inter-
laced complexities. Paul deliberately dis
cusses in the Epistle to the Romans.
The discussion is peculiarly adapted to
the Hebrew theologians who had been
taught in Jewish schools like those of
Gamaliel and Hillel. 1t follows that
the Interpretation of some of his peculiar
terms requires special linguistic and
historical scholarship. Let this be con-
eeded. Yet his treatment of his essen
tial theme lie to any candid reader lumi-
nous. His main propositions and the
trunk-line OF his argument are by simple
vision easily apprehended. - This
question, What is Christian saliva
ton? is the greatest speculative ques-
ton in the world. 1t is here discussed
by one Of the half-dozen greatest minds
of the ages He brings to the discus
sion the amplest scholarship of his gen
GRAFTON, and personal experience that
enabled him TO speak with knowledge.
The epistle to the Romans therefore is
worthy of exceptional attention.
