Death Reducing Pioneers Ranks

I'VE must put up the time limit for
members, or it will be bu, a very few
years before the Society OF Montana
Pioneers will 90 out of existence"
remarked James U. Sanders. secre.
tary Of the society, to q representative
of the Butte Inter Mountain.
"Only those who came to Montana
In the sixties or before can belong to
the organization at the present time.
1t was only q short time ago that men
ADD women could belong who came to
Montana after 1865. The time limit
was heightened. 1t is probable tina,
when the pioneers meet in Lewistowu
next summer q bylaw will be passed
whereby any one who came to Mon
taua before the Custer massacre june
%, 1876, will be eligible TO member
ship.
"At the meeting last year in Bill
lings we had about POO members pres.
eut. We took in forty, but the death
roll showed that $50 Of the makers OF
the Treasure state had passed away
during the preceding twelve months,
II the limit was put up to 1876, several
hundred people would be eligible.
This must be done, as only a very few
have sent in applications this year.
ut Is the purpose of the society to
unite all those people who braved the
dangers OF the west to cross the plains
and make q home in Montana during
early days. The society also doe.
good work in helping any pionee,
who is i'll or down in any way. Many
Of those have been helped materially
in the past year or two. The old
timers are loyal to each other, sni

Feb. 2. Jesus the Savior of the
World. John 3: LII.
The lesson verses for this date in
c!ude some of the most important in
the New Testament. For they tell
of the visit of Nicodemus, and the
declarations of Jesus as to the new
birth. and His further enunciation of
John 3; 16. that God had sent His
only begotten Son to die for sinful
men. and show them the way to life
euernal. 1t will thus be seen that
the limits of this column will not
permit of a beginning of talk on
the tremendous and important truths
told in the lesson by the Savior of
men.
among the Jews. learned in the law
of Moses. and the customs which had
grown up since the death of the great
leader. 1t is probable that he was in
the eyes Of those keeping the cere-
monial law. blameless. but he was far
from right in the eyes of God. His
attitude was more that of the one of
similar station, of whom Jesus told,
who on going up into the temple to
pray thanked God that he was not as
other men, when his true prayer
should have been ''God be merciful to
me sinner. Jesus told this man.
and the world of the new birth. of
the new heart. of the changed nature,
the love like spirit. the life of sacri-
flee tor others, as contrasted with
selfrighteousness and Sc fl S h n S.
The truth spoken by Jesus at this
time makes plain that there must be a
change of heart and motive to be &C
ceptable in His sight. The charac-
tef. education. habits of thought of
men and women. differ so that all are
not similarly effected by the new
birth. and therefore no one should set
up standards and insist one must say.
or do this and that. or act in certain
way or they are not right with God.
those whe professed the most of being
HIS followers, but those who did the
will of God. who were accepted in His
sight. But note that the bible does
not teach that people can drift along
in sel6shness. occasionally doing a
good act. or leading what is called a
moral life, for the sake of :, appear
ances. and in the emu obtain the ever
lasting life promised to believers in.
and followers. of Jesus. There must
be an indwelling of God spirit. This
may come to some by radical change
on a given date. and to other a
growth into life of righteousness.
1t is essential that it must be in the
heart and nature somehow, sometime,
somewhere.
The latter verses of the lesson arc
familiar because so important. They
say that as Moses lifted the serpent
in the wilderness. and as by look OF
faith at the serpent the Jews of ole
were healed. so Jesus was lifted UP
and all who looked to Him with faith
shall have eternal life. The verses
say that God did not send Jesus tc
condemn. but to save the people.
They say that Jesus was the only be.
gotten Son of God. and that out OF
love to US. He was sent. so that we
might have everlasting life. through
belief in His name. John 3:16 i.
