tatIon put on il by some evangelists, we
who have been taught that Christ came
not TO destroy the Law and the prophets,
but 10 fulfill, as he Himself has said,
verify ! say unto you, till heaven and
earth pass one jot or one title shall in no
wise pass from the law till all lie fulfilled,
are astray in our mode of administering
sacrament, and for this We are consigned
to everlasting woe and torment. because
We believe that the Christian can claim
nothing less than to be of the circumcision
that worships God in the spirit and re-
joices in Christ Jesus, having no conf
dence in the flesh. The old testament
was the peoples Bible before Christ aud
it was the Bible that He Himself used and
quoted from while here on earth, aud the
ten words spoken and written 10y God
Himself on the tables of stone, the emblems
of eternity, cannot be ruthlessly set aside
by any mere man, as the principles en-
bodied in them are everlasting and bind
ing on the consciences OF alliOrever, aud
it CRATES little harshly on those OF US who
were dedicated to the Lord in infant bap-
tism, who were trained by our parents III
the nature and admonitiOn OF the Lord in
by them at the alter of dedication, to
know that we are on the downward road
to destruction and we are constrained by
fOrbearance in love toward our brethren

know not what they DO. Our Lord is the
Lord Jesus Christ, who came to save.
Our faith ia the saving grace that enables
US to receive and rest upon him alone for
salvation as he is offered to us in the |

the Spirit, and ii we who are of this belief

OFFICIALS say the probable plan of
attack Oh Havana will be for the
troops to surround the city and take
the table land in order to cover every
point of approach and conduct a
peaceful siege. This would do away
with large fatalities and would follow
an Immediate attempt to starve the
Spanish citadel. 1t would place the
troops in healthy region, as not less

a LATE letter from Lieutenant Hob

ton that the Spaniards are treating
him and his men as kindly as their
circumscribed situation at Santiago
will permit. He gets wine and beer
with his rations, which, though not
OF the best, are probably as good as
the Spauiards can furnish with all

until the American army enters and

other bills that We're pushed through The
