so, and also other places in the New
Testament, he would have seen that
works do not come into the plan of
salvation, but are the fruits of saliva
ton. You may show your faith by
your works. Ye are saved through
faith in the Son of God by the grace
the free gift-of Almighty God. 1t is
His gift and hence it is not and can
not be "of works" 1t is all Gods
doings in the matter Of bestowing. of
providing, of saving. 1t is mot of your
selves" If it were "of yourselves"
then you could boast and say we are
our own savers, for it is by our own
works" done that we are brought into
the Kingdom and made heirs of
Heaven. In verse 10th we read: For
we are His workmanship created in
Christ Jesus unto good works. which
God hath before ordained that we
should walk in them" 1t is true that
all that is good in man, and all the
good which he enjoys, are the gracious
gift of God, n it is forever true that
God is the author of our spiritual life,
as He is of our natural life, for We are
His workmanship" and lit was even
the purpose and will of God, that those
to whom He gives spiritual life should
be holy and abound in good works"
1t is purely and only that men are saw
ed from their sins and made heirs
of salvation by the blood of Jesus
Christ. In whom we nave redemption
through His blood, the forgiveness of
sins, according to the riches of His
grace 1t is all of God, all of His un-
merited free grace, all through the
atoning sacrifice of Jesus. Even our
good works are not altogether our
own, but Gods, as are also our faith,
and hope, and love for we are His
Gods creatures, made solely by
His power, n now anew. created in
Christ Jesus unto good works" Let us
strive to walk therefore, according to
new creation-it is positively a new
c~reation-and let us walk according to
the will of Him who created us anew.
Let us strive diligently to walk accord
ing to the likeness of Him in whom we
are created. But there is a sense in
which the sinner has much to do with
his own salvation. God says work out
your salvation with fear and trem-
bling" This is mans part of the work
in redemption. AS We lately heard an
excellent preacher say-"God gave us
the faculty to believe, out we must ex-
ercise it," Suppose a man in the natural
world should act as men act in the
spiritual world, he would die and rich
ly deserve it. Let him refuse to plant
the seed, gather the crop, and have it
made into flour or corr as it may be,
and then tell God that He must have it
cooked for him OF he will not eat. he
will perish like a fool should perish.
God gives the seed, sends the rains,
the deWs, the sunshine, and supplies
the productive soil. Man must work,
use the seed, or he will perish.
God offers salvation, tells the sinner
the way to believe, sends His Son to
for him, gives him the aid of the
Holy Spirit, and then says, believe and
thou shalt be saved If he turn away
refusing the offering and saying I will
believe then let him die the death. |

gave only kiss. The one who re-
ceived the gold enraged the one
who got the kiss. Why? All that
Cyrus possessed was pledged to
him while the other only had his
gold. So some people take the
gold, the field, the material bless
ing and think they are most bless
ed, but the son OF God who received
the kiss OF pardon and adoption has
all heaven pledged for his good.
My Father is a great father and
he has a great family. All the
spiritual children from Adam are
his especially. He has a great
house. 1t is said the vatican con-
tains sixteen thousand rooms.
Surely enough for the Pope and
those who administer to his needs.
But my Fathers house has many
mansions. They have never been
counted. They cannot be, for the
universe with its unnumbered stores
are his. that each child may have
a mansion suited to his needs and
highest joy. Now what we want
to know is how to reach such a
place. Christ said, 81 am the
Way" He joins the two worlds as
Jacobs ladder joined heaven and
earth. The way is so plain the
wayfaring man, though fool, need
not err therein.

A WAY
THEY HAVE.
What this Wilmington Citizen says
only Corroborates the Story
ofThousands.

The particulars related by this represen-
tative citizen of Wilmington are similar
to hun 1reds of o hers in this city. When
there are scores of people all anxious to
tell about the benefits decaived from the
use of Doan's Kidney Pills, the greatest
skeptic in Wilmington must bs convino
Read this:
Mr.. ]. S. Moreland No. 730 King street
says:- "For some time suffered W.
q distressing pain across my back and oc-
caslonaliy with pains through my limbs.
Stopping or being much on my feet ag-
gravated the trouble. I used different
kinds of kidney remedies and doctored
more or less all the time but got nothing
like permanent relief. l happened to no.

case similar to mine being cured by
Deans Kidney Pills. l made up my

ANOTHER
STEEL PLANT.

A large portion OF the Cherry Is
land Marsh has been purch ased
by the Forge and Steelp Company
The Company has carital stock
Of Us, OO0,O 200 with the permission to.
increase to SIS. 100000 The bond
purchased belonged to Alvin X.
Morrison, William Lawton ard
Thomas J. Talley.
The company will manufacture
heavy forgings for battleships, and
may eventually make armor plates.
The plant will be located on high
ground, overlooking the Delaware
River, and it is expected it will be
finished ready for operation in
about year. The president of
the new company is John Fritz,
until recently of South Bethlehem,
Pa H. II. Wallace, OF the Big
Diamond State Steel Company, OF
this city, is secretary and treasur-
er. New York, Pittsburg and other
capitalists and steel men from large
cities are interested.
The new site affords a frontage
of about 400 feet on the Delaware
river and about one mile on the
Christana river. The wharf of the
company will be on the Christiana
river, because it affords ample
water facilities and also affords a
better harbor than does the Della
ware river. The ore which the
company uses will be largely
brought from Cuba, and this means
that the foreign trade of Whining
ton will be enlarged and that there
will be vessels running almost
regularly from this city to Cuba.
Had it not been for the dredging of
the Christiana river it would not
have been possible to have secured
the plant, as the water would not
have been deep enough for the
purpose desired.
The dredging of the Christiana
river will make it possible to fill
low places in the land without the
slightest trouble, as it will afford
an excellent place for the dumping
from the Christlana. Much Of the
land is already high, and, while 1t
has been looked upon as marsh
land, it is really as high in many
places as the land in the eastern
section of the city on the west side
of the bridges. 1t has been suitable
for manufacturing purposes for a
long time, but it was only recently
that this fact dawned upon most
people IN Wilmington.
Another reason why the great
company located here was because
it is able to secured coal so cheaply.
1t is Iact not generally known
that coal can be purchased cheap
er in Wilmington than it can in
Pittsburg. When coal is selling
at 81. 80 per ton in this city it sells
at $2.2 in Pittsburg. This is
big inducement to large manufact-
uring concerns, and is one which
has not been brought to the atten-
tion of those interested until re-
Gently. Another advantage in favor
Of the new plant locating in Will
mington is that ore can be brought
from Cuba to this city for 81. 10
ton, while the freight from other
iron-producing districts cost $l.SO
ton.

protest against the nomination until the
last minute is unchanged.
For the first time since the Repub'
lisan leaders began to assemble in Phil
adelphia there has been some earnest
work upon the platform, and draft
has been completed which, it is believed
will receive the approval of the conven
ton. This document was prepared in
part before coming to Philadelphia by
Postmaster General Smith, and it is un
d"rstood it was submitted to the pres

fore Mr.. Smith left Washington. Mr.
Smith was in consultation during the
