admit them essential to government, civil
and moral Then, by so much as the fear
of punishment is decreased, by so much
VIII lawlessness increase hence the doc
trine of redemption from hell produces an
inferior degree and kind of obedience TO
moral law. The logic Of this proposition
is demonstrated by infdel suicides, and
the frequent RIGHTEOUSNESS of the hell re-
demptionists.
But there is a more serious objection to
DIR. Strong's position. If publication is
by fire, and if the impenitent, unforgiven
dead are to be purified by the punishment
of hell and thus fitted for heaven, what is
to become of the great doctrines of regen-
Grafton and publication by the blood Of
Christ? Are there two plans of salvation,
one by the blood of Christ, the other by
the fires of hell? If DR.. Strong means
that, then he'll is a savior, and a greater
savior than Christ, since hell purifes and
fits for heaven souls in unbelief. whom
Christ could not save. Nor does it appear
that they are TO either repent, believe or
: be regenerated, but are TO be burned out
of he'll into heaven
His reference to the publication of gold
is not analogous. There is no gold" in
an unredeemed heart ''Ye must be born
again.
But there is a still greater objection to
this doctrine Of hel-redemption, viz: 1t
teachers salvation by sin. If punishment
Is because of sin, and publication is be-
cause of punishment, and salvation is
because of publication, then, ergo sal
walton, the last result, is because of sin,
the prior or procuring cause Is that
. 'monstrous Instrumentation? ?" 1t is the
logic of he'll publication And more, if
salvation is by publication, publication
by punishment and punishment by sin,
then, the more sin the more punishment,
the more punishment the more purity, the
more purity the more salvation, and
therefore the more sin the more saliva
ton. And if this were so we would need
nothing but sin and hell to make the sal
walton of mankind universal and infalli-
BILE. If that were true then the words of
the Christ, mo man cOmeth unto the
Father but by me" should have added to
them: Except he pass through hell and
come thence to God.
Finally: If hell is a savior, Christ was
an imposter. If moral publication is by
suffering, the suffering Of the one purified,
then it is not by the blood or suffering of
Christ the substitute for sinners So this
doctrine of purity by suffering is denial
of the Vicarious atOnement through the
blood of Christ 1t leads it's devotees to
pennance. but not to peace: to ceremon-
les but not to Christ. Not by the fires of
| hell, but by the blood Of Jesus, the Christ,
are souls purified
And hence we plain country folk are not
| impressed by the city preacher He tries

A year from next August the Massachu-

annual report of its president, John A.

icy holders yesterday, Is elsewhere print

order but it is a clear statement of steady
and healthful advancement and sound

facts relating to the years work and the
condition of the company to-day is ac-,
companied by intelligent comment, within
The comprehension of the average man,
and so entitled to be read by those whose
agent Mr.. Hall is. In the large survey or
the company's progress it is worth while
to compare its condition in 1899 with the
record as It stood in 1895. The assets then
were $l7, 005, 29l now they are $23 S19 937; :
the liabilities were SIS. 1876, 1913. now they
are $21. S35, ia; the surplus was $1,270 16S,

The proposition made by some of
the senators to levy a tariff equal to
Is per cent of the Dingley duties upon
imports from the United States free is
probably the most remarkable compro-
mise ever offered. Certainly nothing
more extraordinary has been proposed
since duty and destiny established
themselves in the seats of the mighty.
The principal argument advanced by
the supporters of the house measure
is that Porto Rico needs the revenue.
Now, the solemn senators come along
and say, Let us do the right thing
by these helpless people. We will
keep their products out of the United
States; but we will permit them to
buy our products without paying any
thing extra for the blessed privilege"
Humanity and benevolent assimila-

Efforts to Increase Government Appro-
priation from 100000 to S2,ooo.o0o.
The following Washington dispatch
indicates progress on the desired in
crease for the equipping of the militia
of Illinois and other states:
Col. Marsh il making a strong
effort to secure time in which to con-
slider the bill increasing the annual
appropriation for arming and equip
ping the militia from $500, GOO to
81, OOO. 900. The prospects are good,
and he hopes to have the bill put
ident for his signature before long.
The adjutant generals of nearly
every state in the union are using
their influence with their senators
and Representatives with a view to
securing favorable action, and they
are entirely satisfied with the outlook.
They hops to have the appropriation
authorized, so the militia will secure
the benefits from better arms and
equipment, which it will be possible
to furnish the citizen soldiery during
the summer encampments.
s'Some of the strong points urged
in favor of this legislation are that in
carrying out the provisions of the
proposed law it will not be necessary
to take one cent directly from the
treasury and pay it to the state or
CARNATIONS, but improved arms and
better equipment will be given the
state troops. The government, it is
claimed by the friends of the increase,
can continue the manufacture of i'm
proved arms, turn them over to the
militia, and they will be stored in the
state armories instead of the govern
ment arsenals. 1t is said these arms
will not be injured any more by being
in the possession of the militia, which
will learn to use the new weapons,
than by being stored in the govern
ment arsenals.
These arguments have been used
upon the house leaders with some
success, and Col. Marsh hopes he will
soon have his bill on it's way to the
president
