justified from all things, which We could
not be Justified by the law of Moses
Act 1858.
The sinner is unforgiven before God.
In the light of Gods law and terms Of
Gods citizenship he is a criminal. II
he has not scared his conscience by con-
tinual and prolonged disobedience, he is
aware of the fact that he is a sinner and
needs forgiveness. 1t is possible howev-
er, that he looks upon the laws OF God
lightly, as we know is often the case
with men who are yiolators of human
law. The man who has any conscious
ness of the higher law and yet is con-
, tinual violator Of 1t, must be daily con-
victed before the bar of his own con-
science as he ponders the truth of Gods
law as 1t Is revealed to US in His word
The murderer or the transgressor of hui
man law may evade the punishment of
a law by hiding in some remote part of
the world, but the man who Is q sinner
cannot hide himself from the judgments
of God.
1t is useless to take time to prove the
condition of man. He is a sinner. He is
conscious of it. He acknowledges it.
This existence of sin is not God-given
part of man. It is human Voltaire grants
! that the impurity of the earth came from
I W
in any way responsible for 1t. Sin is not
only human but it is personal While
there are national sins they become SO
by the deliberate choice of the individual
citizens of the nations. A man OF him
self chooses whether he shall be a citi-
zen of Gods Kingdom here and hereafter
or whether he shall become an outcast
from heaven. We all of us hesitate to
insult an earthly ruler or officer, yet

God.
The old law of Moses was not sufficient
for the eternal forgiveness OF man, 50
the Father has given US the Perfect
Man through whom We can have forgive
ness. The plan which has illuminated In
Jesus Christ is not new one, but has
developed from the first In this pardon
and forgiveness which is offered in
Christ. God is no respecter of persons,
for in His Divine commission ,1e has in
Guided all the races OF the earth.
In the study OF the subject Of forgive
ness there are certain fundamental
things we must review. IT must be grant
ed that there is an offense and an Of
fender. This no one denies. In the study
of Gods eternal plan we find that from
the first offense He sought to offer for
giveness to man. From the first there
was no forgiveness without the shedding
of blood The legal sacrifices or animals
were only temporary and were ineffect-
ua1. The outward cleansing was inenect-
ual, and for the eternal forgiveness OF
man it was necessary that the sacrifice
be both human and Divine This sacrf-
flee is found in Jesus, and through Him
it is possible to preach the forgiveness OF
. sins.

| I'm his exhortation to the pursuit of
the heavenly the apostle uses strong
words and clear reasoning. Seek those
things that are above. Set your affec-
lions on things above These words i'm
ply an alert mind a pronounced desire,
an ardent pursuit of an object. To seek
the heavenly, one must think about it.
/ fear that religious meditation is becom-
ing one of the lost arts. Few persons
give the thought to the religious life
that the Importance of heaven and the
soul demand. Think on these things
The better we know God and His great
purposes concerning our great salvation,
the more intense will become our desire
for things spiritual. The reason men
love God SO little and pay SO small at
tentfon to spiritual things is because
they know so little about them. To know
God in the plentitude of His mercy and
glory of His holiness is to cause our love
to ascend to Him. To comprehend by
| thought and experience the salvation
God offers man is but to awaken within
us an intense desire to possess the full
ness of Gods gifts.
1.-The pursuit of the heavenly is the
most ennoblng. All other pursuits aside
from what is comprehended in it have a
tendency to narrow the circle of ones
i life, to develop selfshness and indiffer-
ence to the needs of humanity and to
the glory Of God. The followers after
pleasure are apt to become disheartened
and dissatisfied. Jealousies and enmities
/ are created and life becomes embittered.
1.-THE man who seeks for wealth as the
one object of his life awakens sooner or
later to the fact that he pays great
price for 1t. His losses are indeed many.
He lives in a very narrow circle. His
friendship and joys and usefulness be-
comes less and less. His pursuit has
engulfed him. Such pursuits develop but
few powers of the soul and close many
avenues of usefulness. But in the pur-
suit of the heavenly the opposite Is Sc
cured Every human relation is empha-
sized. every demand of mercy and of
duty is given place, every capacity of the
soul is developed, while one seeks the
mansions, the character and the JOY of
the heavenls.
In the presence of the heavenly, man
finds his highest inspiration to the de-
velopment of a symmetrical character
and to the performance of the nobiest
service. In the pursuit of the heavenly
other objects unworthy of the first place
in ones desire, take humber relation.
HE Is a true seeker of the heavenly
who is willing and ready to accept 1t at
the will of God. The true seeker Is ever
rewarded with the object for which he
sought, that holiness of character which
gives him an abundant entrance into
the heavenly world"

AT THE METHODIST CHURCH.
Rev. G. L. Pearson, pastor of the
Methodist Church, at the morning SER
vice yesterday took for his text Collos-
Is slams S:14, under the subject The Pur-
suit of the Heavenly"
An excerpt from his sermon is given
below:
with most men the object of pursuit
| is happiness. They seek it in various
ways, distinction in social and public
life, the passion of riches, or other
sources. Notice any community of men
and you VIII note that the motive In
most lives is the desire to be happy
There are other and nobler pursuits
among men, such as the desire to be use
full, to do good in the world. This desire
is comprehended in the one great and
rc,,f% 4nl, sr- - oil he
pursuit of the Heavenly This is not a
gest. 1t is tangible and productive of
real results. In the seeking for the
heavenly We desire its mansions Our
Lord hath taught US that heaven is a
Ipiace-there are mansions there. places
prepared for those that love him. As
to the circumstances of heaven we know
but little, but that there is a home for
Gods children we are assured. To seek
that home is to pursue the heayenly-to
know more of the character of heaven.
To pursue the heavenly is to seek its
character. Jesus emphasized charac-
ter. 1t may be formed in the human
| life. The kingdom of heaven is within
you. We must possess the heavenly
character in order to enter the heavenly
place. Heaven begins on earth. To seek
the heavenly is to seek It's purity of
character.
There is another element which the
pursuit of the heavenly brings to man
Its joy. Many look upon the Joy of
heaven as something to be possessed
only when the heavenly place shall be
entered. But God gives to those who
seek the joy of the Holy Spirit, the earn
estness of the heavenly experience here
and now.
1.-THE pursuit of the heavenly brings
into the life that now Is the hope Of the
life TO come, purity of character and a
| life that rejoices with a joy unspeakable
and full Of glory.

Milwaukee, July 24.-The grand
lodge of the Benevolent and Protec-
tive Order of Elks completed the
first days session late last night by
electing officers. Charles E. Pickett,

which passed through the principal

thousands of visiting Elks last night.

CONSUMPTION DISCUSSED.
Dr. Koch Says People Are Not Liable to
BE Infected with the Disease Through
Dairy Products.

London, July PA feature of yes
terday's session of the British con-
gress on tuberculosis was DR.. Robert
Koch's paper. DR.. Koch said his ex-
periments had satisfied him that hui
man tuberculosis and bovine tubercu-
losis were radically different diseases
and that he had amply demonstrated
that cattle could not be infected with
human tuberculosis and that human
beings were not liable to infection
from bovine tuberculosis or infec-
ton through dairy products. Hered-
ity was also an important factor in
the transmission Of tuberculosis,
though the contrary had long been
believed. DR.. Koch said the chief
danger of contagion lay in the sputum
of consumptive patients and that
remedy was to be found in law
'enting the consumptive from
strewing contagion about him. DR..
Koch closed his remarks by express
ing his belief that the ultimate stamp
ing out of tuberculosis was possible.

vious sessions and spoke of the work

TO secure the establishment of de-
partment OF mines. He said it was
necessary that the great industry
ought to have recognition in order
that the development might go for
ward at pace that would keep IL

confronting the indusrrr, he said, that
could not be solved satisfactorily

THE SITUATION IN KANSAS,
The Heat Still Oppressive, Not Much Relief
Being Experienced from the Showers
Water Becoming Very Scarce.

Topeka, Kan, July 24.-Tempera-
lures in Kansas yesterday were as
high as 10 and in no case are figures
less than 100 reported. 1t was fully
as oppressive as Monday, which was
the hottest day of the year. A death
from heat occurred in Abilene and
prostrations are said to have occurred
in Leavenworth, Emporia, Atchison,
Usage City, Topeka and some of the
smaller towns.
The state is overcast with clouds
and the air is humid. Thunder show
ers of various degrees of intensity
came during the afternoon. Leaven-
worth had two showers of 20 min
utes each, and all the others were
smaller. No relief, other than a slight
cooling of the atmosphere, resulted.
The indications seemed favorable last
night for more showers, but no one
attempts to say when general rains
may be expected.
The situation throughout the state
has become very uncomfortable.
Everything is stihed with dust and
water is becoming very scarce. Over
a month of 100 degrees temperature
with hardly drop of rain is the story
reported last night from many Kan
sas counties.
Pending the coming of the rain,
farmers are rushing their stock to
market, trying to buy feed for their
stock and hunting for water. In the
cities the prices of milk and other
farm products have largely increased.
