IF we would know what true liberty
or freedom is we must turn to the
Divine "author of liberty" as we sing
it in our grand national hymn,
America" We must search not in
man to find it's genesis and compile
ton, but in God, and in Gods Son,
Christ Jesus. We want to talk OF the
Christians freedom, for in that freedom
is found the essence of all true freedom.
For freedom did Christ set us free.
Whom did He set free? What does
the term as here used mean! Inc
freedom which Christ obtained for
mankind is a universal freedom, and
while primarily it implies a spiritual
freedom from sin and its conse-
renee it nevertheless includes as
well freedom as connected with the
various secular relations of life. Sin
is the great enemy of freedom. God
gave man the freedom of choice at the
time of creation and sin entered in
and robbed man of the freedom to en-
Joy the blessing and the fullness
which were to be found in the garden
where God had placed man. And that
was only the beginning. Sin ever
since has been robbing man OF the
freedom which it was Gods desire and
purpose he should have. Trace to it's
source every forfeiture of freedom.
every oppression which denies this
rights and freedom Of others, and you
will find the tell-tale mark of sin.
And when for freedom Christ did set
us free He struck at the very root of
the trouble. He put away sin in
His body on the tree, and thus gave
to man the freedom which is the be-
ginning of all freedom. The special
reference to freedom in u text is de-
liverance from the bondage Of the
Jewish law and circumcision. Many
of the Galatians who had been rejoice
ing in the liberty of Christ Jesus were
being led into the bondage Of Jewish
rites and the Mosaic law. They must
be circumcised. They must keep all
the Mosaic law In order to be saved.
And against such false doctrine Paul
cries out. He exclaims: "EOr free
dom did Christ set us free; stand fast
therefore. and be not entangled again
in a yoke of bondage" For the Gala
tian Christian to be circumcised obi
gated him to keep all the law and win
salvation by his own works. This was
robbing him of all the liberty which
Christ had purchased for him and was
putting him In a bondage that was
6, eater than he could bear. It was

THERE is much that is thought OF as

THERE is much that is thought OF as
/ liberty, and a great deal which is
promulgated as liberty, which is as for
eign to real, true liberty as goodness is
foreign to the Devil and his angels.
Schiller declared hat"freedom was only
in the land of Dreams because that
which was Haunted as freedom was a
perversion, was a travesty upon the fair
term which proves SO attractive to
every human being. And because OF hui
man f-Ci.sieS and failures, because OF
selfshness, and prejudice, and ignorance,
true freedom is more an ideal h it is
a reality. 1t was for this same reason
that Nine. Roland could stop in her
march to the scaffold before the statue
of Liberty in Paris and apostrophize it
with the immortal words: 20, liberty!
liberty! what crimes are committed In
thy name" True liberty, that liberty in
which the spirit OF Gods righteousness
and truth moved, never committed an
Injustice, never took a life needlessly,
never fought a war unnecessarily, never
sought unfair advantage or exacted more
than it's due, n never mpOSeo conul-
tions which were harsh and unreason-
able. And yet how much OF what man
calls liberty and freedom is tinctured by
these human and unrighteous elements.
Never were words more truly spoken
than hat liberty is purchased at the
price of eternal vigilance. A vigilance
which guards the rights Of others, as
well as protecting those Of ourselves. A
vigilance which is exercised with as
great sincerity and faithfulness in meas
uring the needs and rights OF u nelgn-
Dor as we use in estimating and de-
manding what We consider our own
rights and needs.

HEATING ESCAPES;
HAcAN IMPROVES

The police are of the opinion that
Billy Heating, the negro who made the
murderous attack on Joe Hagen, has
left for parts unknown. As the affair
was not reported to the police by the
hotel people. Heating had ample time
to cover his tracks. 1t is believed that
some of the railway porters who run
out of Spokane assisted him. That
Heating was not without friends is
shown by the fact that few minutes
after the affair was over Heating was
nowhere to be found and no one knew
where he had gone.
Hagen is reported as better this
morning, although he is still in seri-
Gus condition. Joe is we'll known in
Spokane and is we'll liked. He is
popular with all business men and at
many social functions Joe is present
to render his valuable aid. He has a
reputation for being quiet and
peaceable man. Heating is almost a
stranger in town and little is known
of him. Rumor had it that he is
addicted to the use of "hop.' If he
has not yet left town he will doubt
less be apprehended, but the chances
are that he is now beyond the imme.
date reach of the local police.

UNIONS OF.
SPOKANE IN
GOOD SHAPE

A largely attended meeting of labor
union people was held in the court
room at the city hall last night to
listen to an address by Robert A.
Callahan, the president of the Hotel
and Restaurant Employees Interna-
tional alliance and the Bartenders'
International League of America.
Mr. Callahan spoke at some length on
the condition of labor throughout the
country. and spoke of the praiseworthy
work being done by the unions in this
city. He found conditions here even
better that in any other city visited
by him.
This is his FIRST trip over the country.
He left Boston some weeks ago and
has visited the larger cities and ad-
dressed meetings in each. Before he
again reaches Boston he will have
visited all the prominent cities in the
United States. He left today for
Seattle where he intends to spend
couple days. He will start then on an
extended southern trip.
