G. X. Allen is out angling for the

clared passeth understanding. When
man knows God and his heart is right
with God, He maketh him to know this
great peace. Great peace have they
that love thy law" saith the psalmisl.
The knowledge of God gives us strength
and life and peace-a peace of which the
world can not deprive US.
The power of Jesus Christ is the pow
er he attained by His resurrection. He
who raised up Christ by His spirit shall
also quicken your spirits by His spirit,
which dwelleth in you. What Paul
wanted to know was the power of that
spirit in it's fullness. When we contem-
plate this we are standing upon the
shore of a great ocean whose depths we
cannot fathom. Here I take my stand
and claim for the spirit of God all the
possibilities spoken of it in the Book of
God. The resurrection of Jesus Christ
accomplished two things, the atonement
of sin and abolished death. Paul not
only wanted to know the power or HIS
resurrection but to know the fellowship
of His suffering. think he was willing
to endure all the suffering OF this lie
that he might attain to the heights OF
the glory of the eternal.

ly argue for fomented wine at conlnun-

Many believe in unfermented wine.
grape Juice, or even colored water, and
in their strenuous advocacy of these fail
to see that the spirit that they were in
tended to inspire Is killed by the appe-
tite the sight of them may arouse or the
line of thought they enkindle in the
mind of the communicant. Some call for
pure water to be passed from mouth to
mouth, forgetting the sanitary laws
which God calls us always to observe;
not being cognizant of the fact that mi
crobes of disease have been found in
quantity on the rim of the cup at the
conclusion of such service. Shall we.
because of the letter. endanger the phys
ical well-being and life of brother?
In this city our own church has tenn
porarily abolished the passing of the cup,
for we are here not to destroy life but TO
fulfill. We hope to observe the commun-
ion, not with blindness but with eyes
open to the truth, and since we cannot
conform the spirit to the letter, let US
conform the letter to the spirit. This
innovation of the rite, if such 1t may be
called, is evidence of spirit struggling
for life and not struggling in death.

Usefulness of a Card

The benefits of travelling card were
strikingly illustrated in the far-away
republic of South Africa few months
ago. This government has very strict
immigration law, similar to the one We
toed by President Cleveland in the last
hours of congress. A person arriving
in that country, unless able to satisfy
the authorities that he has some means
of ensuring himself against restitution,
which would otherwise cause him to be-
come a burden on the community is
prevented from landing.
In this instance a member of the Anal
samated Carpenters union arrived at
johannesburg from England, and was
promptly turned back, as he had no
means, but on being searched by the
customs officials they discovered in his
possession a large blue envelope, care
fully sealed. They desired to know its
contents, and were informed that 1t was
his clearance card, showing he was
member of the Amalgamated Carpen-
ters' union. 1t was opened, and on Pc
rusal he was permitted to land, the card
being a guarantee that he was capable
of earning his living, and he was al
lowed to proceed on his journey to the
town he had so narrowly escaped being
prohibited from entering.

TO DIE rs GAIN
Life Preparation for the Inevitable
Departure

David Walk, at the Church of Christ,
on East Eighth street, near Central ave-
nue., based his sermon on the words of
Paul, ITO die is gain" This is true of
any man who lives right. The apostle
had previously said, For to me to live
is Christ" Men are exhorted to prepare
to die. This is folly. Death needs no
preparation. 1t is life that needs look
ing after. If we live right death will
have no terrors. A true conception of
Christianity teaches that religion is not
to keep men out of hell, but to keep hell
out of men; it is not to get men into
heaven, but to get heaven into men.
Paul knew that what is called death
is simply the promotion of the soul.
There is neither lapse of consciousness
nor enjoyment. He knew that to depart
and be with Christ would, for himself,
be far better; but to abide in the flesh
was more needful for others. This was
brave and manly. Death will be no gain
to the man who has not so lived that
his departure will be loss to others Dy-
ing grace is not what well man with
a helpless family needs, but living grace.
Such a man does not need a priest so
much as pickaxe.

fallen upon them so sudd denly, and which
in their great ignorance they were un-

We recognize Pauls power of concen-

tempt any arbitrary analysis of the
verse would be impossible. Paul said.
"Seek to knod nothing among you

did not undervalue knowledge in gener-

which came by the spirit of the Lord
Jesus Christ. He speaks of the excel

SERVING THE SPIRIT
Outward Observances Which Are Un-
wise and Dangerous

Serving the Spirit" was the subject
before the Universalist church yester-
day morning. Rev A. A. Rice, the pas
tor. said in brief:
There are two ways In which the law
of God is transgressed, the one by wilful
disobedience, the other by unconscious
wrongdoing, in which the actor may even
believe he is giving God service. Under
the latter may be classed, the action of
him who by the letter doth transgress
the law" All transgression takes us
away from Jesus Christ. who did no
wrong, and letter-serving is one of the
chief means of our departing from his
ways. BY undue service Of the letter the
Christian church may annul the very
spirit which that letter was intended to
serve. st. Paul realized this danger
when he wrote the text, and when in
another place he said: Wherefore if
meat maketh our brother to stumble,
will eat no flesh forevermore.
Our Lord condemned the excess of
such service when a S he and his disciples
at different times were outwardly break
ing the Sabbath, he said to his adversa-
ries: 1T is lawful to do good on the Sab
bath day." and "the Sabbath was made
for man and not man for the Sabbath"
Much less clearsighted was that minis
ter who adhered so closely to immersion
in the rite of baptism that an innocent
young lady of his congregation became
the victim of his blind following of Jesus
and yielded her life because physically
unable to bear the shock in an eastern
winter.
We desire to understand the bearing
which the text has on the rite of the
Lords supper, which we today COM
memorate In this the letter must be
held only as it can serve the spirit. Our
service must adjust itself to the right
for the right will not adjust itself to our
service.
There are those who conscientious
