blc.-chr:ss for the world and for me.
i'm NJ. n-:a.
The world includes every person who
Is a part OF the world. God loved the
world by loving every person In the
world, and It il well fer us TO remem-
Der this when we come TO read such
verses Of Scripture as John III. III. We
may feel that the world Is something
beyond us. that Il is so large that 1t
does not include us. that God may love
the world. but not us. Such. however.
Is not the case. The world includes ev-
cry individual In the world. II includes
you; Il includes me. Christ Himself in
these familiar verses soon passes from
the use Of world" TO that Of the indi-
vidual, using the pronoun he" and the
expression every one" which is all in
elusive. Everything predicted OF Christ
In this precious passage applies TO the
world, but Il also applies to me.
1. Christ was lifted up on the cross
for the world and for me. AS Moses
lifted up the serpent In the wilderness.
up, that whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish. but have everlasting
life" Moses lifted up the serpent in
the wilderness that Israel might look
upon Il and be saved. Wicked men,
ignorantly carrying out the will Of God.
lifted up Christ upon the cross Of
Calvary that the world might look up
on Him and be saved. This was the
browning act of Gods plan OF saliva
tion-Christ's death upon the cross IL
was for the world. II was also for me.
Christ died for me!
gave My life for thee.
My precious blood shed.
That thou mightst ransomed be
And quickened frcm the dead
gave, l gave Ny life for thee.
What hast thou given for Me?
2. Christ's death upon the cross was
a manifestation of Gods love for the
world and for me. God so loved the
world that He gave His only begotten
Son" 1t was love that impelled God
to give His Son as an atoning sacrifice
for the sins of the world. But this love
Of God extends to each individual in
the world who will accept 1t. that
whosoever believeth." No one is ex-
cluded. Gods love includes the entire
world and every individual in the
world. Nor has the world ever seen
love like the love of God. Herein Is
love, not that we loved God. but that
He loved us and sent His Son to be the
Precipitation for our sins" And Gods
love for US should inspire us to love
Him. I'VE love Him." says John, ''be-
cause He first loved u.s."
3. The effect of Christ's death and
Gods love upon us must be determined
by ourselves. HE that believeth on
Him is not condemned, but he that be-
lieveth not is condemned already"
God saves the world not as a world.
but In its individuals. Christ died for
all, God loves all. but all viii not be
saved except they believe. Salvation
is an individual matter between each
one of us and our God. Have we set
tied 1t? Do you believe? Do you re-
turn Gods love? Thus only can you
receive the blessings of salvation of
fered in Jesus Christ.

ATTORNEY CALLED JUSTICE ''OLD
WOMAN WITH PINK WHISPERS"

"A large proportion of the old residents
of Orting are in attendance at the trial of
George Freeman, resident of that town,
who is accused of burning Joseph Kron.
dak's barn. Many witnesses have been
subpoenaed on both sides.
With Freeman yesterday in court were
his 3-year-old son and his wife, formerly
Miss Rosa Krondak, whom Freeman met
and married in the fall of 1899, while he
was acting as engineer on gravel train
working at Orting. From that time until
last fall he had been employed as an
engineer by both the Great Northern and
Northern Pacific Railroad companies. but
after being injured in a tunnel accident
not long ago he purchased farm near
Orting, where he now resides.
c. o. Bates appeared for the prosecu.
ton and j. H. yesterday and Walter
Christian for the defense. Mr.. Bates said
in his opening statement that he proposed
to show that Freeman burned the barn.
He said that, on December 9, Freeman
went from Tacoma to Orting on the eve.
ming train; that it would be shown that
there had been great deal Of family trou-
BILE; that Mrs. Krondak had been the cause
of Rosa Freeman leaving her husband
that Freeman was incensed at this. and
that, on the way home and at the depot.
on December 8, he had talked to Mrs.
Krondak in threatening and violent man
ner and had threatened to burn them out
of "house and home" This disturbed the
feelings of Mrs. Krondak, the attorney

September, 1885, he was removed from his
position and Immediately appointed collec-
tor of internal revenue for the fifth district
of Maryland, which Office he held until
the incoming of the Grant administration
in 1869; in November, 1860, was elected a
member of the house of delegates of the
Maryland legislature; was reelected In
1871; then elected speaker of the house OF
delegates at the ensuing session; in June,
1872, he was elected president of the Chesa-
peake & Ohio Canal company; in 1875 he
was elected to represent Howard county
in the Maryland state senate, and was re-
elected in November, 1879, for a term OF
four years; was elected in January, 1880,
to the United States senate as Demo
crat, to succeed William Pinkney Whyte;
took his seat March 4, 1881, and was
reelected in 1886 and in 1892; in 1902 was
again elected, to succeed George l.. Well
ington, Republican, and took his seat
March D. 1903. His term of service will
expire March 3, 1909.

said, and she went home from the train.
fearing Freeman would carry out his threat
that night.
About supper time Freeman was seen to
pass by the Krondak house on the walk
leading to the barn, but refused to re-
spond when spoken to. A few minutes
later one of the boys, who had started for
town, rushed back to the house and an.
nounced that the barn was on fire. Later
on the accused was seen walking down
the tracks toward town by those who
were going to the fire. Upon being asked
by those who met him, knowing him to
be the son-in-law of Mr.. Krondak, where
he had been, he replied, 81 have been to
see the fire."
Considerable feeling was manifested by
Attorney yesterday as he referred to JUS
tice of the Peace j. NJ. Carson of Orting
as "the old woman with pink whiskers
and wearing a night-cap" Mr.. yesterday
gave the history of Freeman's life. He
stated that the family name of the accused
was Hanks, but that he ran away from
home when a boy because his father OBJ
jected to his becoming railroad man.
He then changed his name to Freeman.
Mrs. Krondak, claimed. the attorney
said, that Freeman was not true to his
marriage vows, and he proposed to show
that her constant nagging at her daugh-
ter caused the two separate. The attorney
stated further that it would be shown that
on December 8 Mrs. Freeman was in Ia
coma, where a reconciliation was effected

between herself and her husband, and
that it was this which angered Mrs. Kron-
dak, and not any threats from Freeman.
The attorney stated that he would be
able TO show that Mrs. Krondak was some
sort of fanatic and would go about the
streets of Orting abusing her son-inlaw,
and that on these occasions she would
cry out "fre" or murder" While not
directly stating it, Attorney yesterday
inferred that these spells of Mrs. kron-
daks might have led her to set fire to the
barn; otherwise the stock usually tied
there would not have been turned loose
before the fire started.
The trial will probably continue for
two or three days, if all the witnesses
present are called upon to testify.
