Him that peace is preached to them

peace TO you which were afar off. and

it palmer and more emphatic, it is
added, (verse 49, For through Him

that access is had unto the Father.
And it is solely "by one Spirit that we
have access. 1t is salvation simply,

Let us bea in mind always that only
through the Son can we ever approach
the Father. Let us be firmly persuad-

is by the Holy Spirit only, He making
our hearts holy, changing our vile ma
lures by regeneration, by the new birth,
it is that we can never be in full and
gracious favor and communion with
our Father who art in Heaven.

The religion OF Jesus Christ is the
religion of love because He is God. and
God is love" Those who ere ~reconciled
to God genuinely are or ought to be
~reconciled to each Other. The Apostle
Paul in the Epistle 20 Ephesians in
the second chapter, in the twelfth
verse, says: That at that time we
were without Christ, being aliens from
the commonwealth of Israel, and
strangers from the covenants of
promise, having no hope. and without
God in the world" In the verse preced-
ing he had reminded them of the un-
speakable gift they ave received in
being introduced through Christ into
His church, and that at the time re-
ferred to in the twelfth verse they We're
not even outwardly of the people who
v,ere in covenant with God, not know
ing Him, having no hope whatever In
God. wholly strangers to Him, having
no interest in His salvation and all
that is implied in that statement.

To Protect Louisville Officials

Frankfort, KY, March 2.-The house
MS afternoon passed a bill amending
charters of cities of the first class so
as to permit city officials impeached by
the city council to appeal to the courts.
The bill was originated by the demo-
cratic leaders on account of alleged
threats that Mayor Weaver and other
Louisville city officials might be i'm
peached in retaliation for the work OF
the democratic state contest board and
of the legislature in the contests over
the state officers.

Senator Bacon, the able Senator from
Georgia, who is sc staunch a demo-
crat and so wise-headed, favo-s the
election of United States senators by
the people. He thinks primaries should
be held. The Messenger for many
years has advocated a change in the
mode of electing and has urged that it
be given to the people to choose the
senator's. The corruptions in SO many
northern legislatures and the selection
of so many vile men like Hanna. Quay,
Clark and others for the senatorship
have brought the whole business under
suspicion and contempt. 1t is 4 serious
thing to compel honorable gentlemen
like the best class of senator's to sit in
the same body with such vile corrup-
tionists and often nobodies.
The Atlanta Journal is favorable to
the change and says:
1--WE have approved heartily the dp-
peal of Senator Bacon for a general
and uniform senatorial primary and
hav commended Senator ClaAf for his
frequent endorsement of this manner
of naming the men to represent Geur-
gia in the senate and for his introduce
ton of a bill to provide for an amend
ment of the constitution which wi. re-
quire all United States senators to be
elected by direct vote of the people.
That the sentiment in favor of nomi-
mating United States senators by popu-
lar vote in Georgia is strong and grow
ing there can be no question"

That Kruger, the president of the
tional hero there is no doubt. He was
a conspicuous hunter of wild animals
when but a small lad. At thirteen or
fourteen he had killed a savage in a
fight. His early life was one of adven-
ture, testing his courage sharply and
establishing his manhood. We read
lately of an experience of his when still
a youth. He was in a cart and had
his little sister with him. The account
said that all went we'll until Paul was
Here a large panther made his appear
ance. The oXe took fright and bolt
ed. The jostling of the wagon threw the
little girl to the ground, where she was
at the mercy OF the ferocious animal.
Without a moments hesitation young
Kruger jumped from the wagon and
ran to his sisters assistance. The pan
ther stood with cleaning eyes owe the
PROSTATE child. Kruger was unarmed,
but without a moments hesitation he
engaged the panther in a ha~nd-to-hand
battle. 1t was a fierce battle. Time
and again the angry beast clawed Kru-
ger cruelty, but his courage and
strength never failed him. Like a bull
throat until he .strangled the beast to
death. Kruger was badly lacerated
and blood flowed from many Wounds.

He was yesterday afternoon sworn

assuming the duties of office to which
he has been elected so soon after the

county; a man of fine personal APP
rearance and lawyer of signal abil-

Judge Council will hold his first
term of court in his own county, Wa

This is due to an exchange of courts
between Judge Bowman and Judge
