DAUL REVERE riding madly in ad-
l. vance of the onrushing flood was able
to warn many of the impending danger,
and it was great salvation which he
wrought that day, but it was a salvation
which only involved a small section, a
mere dot on the surface of the earth,
and it was only a salvation from phys
iCal death. But not so with the saliva
ton which God has wrought. His is a
salvation which is worldwide in its
scope and meaning, that is. it is a uni
versal salvation. And it is also an
eternal salvation; a costly and glo-
rious salvation; a complete saliva
tion; an immediate salvation; and
an only salvation. No wonder
that God. speaking through the inspired
writer OF the Hebrews. calls it so great
salvation.' No wonder the Bible. from
Genesis to Revelation, ia filled with the
theme. so great salvation" Con-
ceived and planned and wrought out by
God the Father. and God the Son and
God the Holy Spirit. The blessed Trim
ity united in the one purpose of rescuing
the human race, lost and ruined by sin,
from death and destruction. 1t is
wonderfully thrilling story. The story
of mans peril and of God saving grace.
The story of man lost in the darkness
of sin and Jesus coming from Heaven
to earth to find him and bring him back
to God. The story of man helplessly in
the power of Satan and doomed to de-
struction with him, and the Mighty De-
liverer, Christ Jesus. coming in all-con-
nuering power and setting the captive
free.

A Warning to Southern Girls.

The most stupendous and auda-
cious scheme which the world ever
witnessed is being organized and op.
Grated at this time to lure young
girls from the towns of this and
other States into the dens of iniquity
in st. Louis. The matter has come
to light through the abortiye a.
tempts of some of the agents of the
syndicate engaged in this traffic of
iniquity, and the most determined
efforts to stop the practice are being
set on foot by the people of the city
of st. Louis, as well as those of other
cities and towns where the syndicate
hopes to recruit its victims. The
plan of the syndicate is to procure
young women from the working
classes to come to st. Louis under
promise of employment during the
Worlds Fair season, and then to
meet them at the depot in st. Louis
and conduct them to some brothel,
where their feet are set in the ways
of ruin and their lives are hopelessly
wrecked before they can be reached
by any possible assistance.

1t has called God narrow because He
offered an only salvation, and has in
vented schemes and religions of it's

multitude of roads by which the soul
may travel from earth to Heaven.
Gods road is the only through road
to Heaven. Mans roads appear well

nothipgness in the life beyond. And if
God has provided an only and a sure
way of salvation, what more is need

who would seek to pick quarrel with
his town and a neighboring city be-
cause more than one good, safe
road was not provided? 1t is

to pass from one place to the other
