the first step towards becoming Chris

conviction of sin.
The phrase, Under conviction used

OF any genuine repentance: and as the

necessary to salvation. and as 4 know
and wish to know nothing about the sub

obliged to tell you that. without eonvie-

your becoming a Christian.

fatally falling. This is the real meaning
of that much misunderstood passage in
Hebrews vii, %, Wherefore He is able
to save them to the uttermost that come

TO Ioake intercession for them" This
text does not teach that Christ can save
all sorts and degrees of sinners. The
class of people thus saved TO the utter
most is composed of those who "come
unto God by Him" and the phrase TO
the uttermost" denotes the extent to
which the living Saviour can carry their
salvation. In other words, you are not
trusting a dead Saviour Your Saviour

of interceding for you. Ne. you can

accent Him as Gods annointed and
chosen one; for that is the meaning Of

order to be saved he must 'believe on
the Lord Jesus Christ" they were giving
him, in brief phrase, whole system OF
practical theology.

ty And one of the most serious diff
oulties in the way of the evangelical
preacher is that of producing real
sense of personal sinfulness in the minds
of people whose lives pretty regularly
conform to the ordinary rules of Chris

here in point:

feels that he has no aspiration after holy
things; that really religious life Is not
attractive to him; that he is not hunger

and hence he feels no sort OF confidence

where the army assemblies without any
comment"
In it General Booth declares his firm
faith in the equality of woman with man,
in the value Of her gifts and the extent
of her influence. 81 insist" he says,
ION woman's equality" Every officer and
soldier should hold to it that woman is
as important as valuable, as capable
and as necessary to the progress and the
happiness of the world as man.
Unfortunately a large number of people
of every class think otherwise.
They still cling to the notion of bygone
ages that, as a being, woman Is Inferior
Oftentimes he Is treated with less con-
sideration as to health and comfort than
beasts that are fattening for slaughter.
The Salvation Army has done and is do
ing something to combat these hideous
heather notions.
He then goes on to detail how In the
work of God woman has been placed on
an equality with man in the army IT

dividual faculty of woman is equal to
the corresponding faculty in man, any
more than 1 would say that each partlcu-
lar capacity possessed by man is equal to
the same in woman.
'They differ both in character and de-
gree, but where one is weaker the other
is stronger" and he concludes by saying

A SSUMING it 10 be admitted the
~ life of genuine Christian is the
life which. as a rational human
being, you ought to aim at, the question
next and naturally arises, How are you
to become a Christian And in deal
ing practically with this question, it is
easy to make serious. and even ruinous
mistakes, by confounding things that are
essentially distinct and. indeed, very far
apart.
Christianity is often regarded simply
as a system of belief as to our general
conduct as members of society; in Il
word it is thought of in contrast with
heathenism. The phrases, "a Christian
community" "a Christian country have
a well established and legitimate mean
ing, in the sense that the recognized
morality of such a community, or coun-
try, is substantially Christian in its ori-
gin, and in the general tone and tenor
of it's precepts.
But it is a sad mistake, IL one mag
ines that to adopt such a standard of
morals, as the general guide of ones
life, is the same thing as becoming
Christian. In fact, without substantially
adopting the Christian system of morals,
one can scarcely be considered decent,

T ONDON, September 26.-once more
the stage has provided a bride.
- in the person of Miss Sylvia Storey,
the last of the band of the so-called
Gibson girls who were celebrated for their
beauty.
The bridal party numbered six, and
must have looked more like the small
band gathered to witness the marriage OF
an artisan who has a days holiday for
the occasion than the fashionable mar
riage which usually takes place in st.
James's church, Piccadilly
Some time ago the claim Of the Earl
dom of Poulett was disputed by William
Turner Thomas, known in the streets or
London as an organ grinder, who used
to ply his trade with a large card hung
in front of his instrument with the in
scription, "Viscount Hinton" The organ
grinders claim, however was Investigated
by the House of Lords and rejected.
The interest, however, of such we'd
ding does not so much rest on the fact
that an actress has become countess as
on the strange change which has taken
place@with regard to the peerage and the
stage. When in 1881 the Earl of Harring-
ton married Marie Foot, and the fifth
Earl of Essex in 1888 married Kitty Stew
ems, the original Of Pretty Polly Perkins
of Paddington Green,' these marriages
were very rare. but since the nineties
they are becoming very constant, and we
have Lord Orkney, Lord Francis Hope,
Lord Clonmel Lord Headfort, Lord Ross
Ign, Lord De Clifford, Lord Ashburton.
Lord Aberdare and the Hon. j. Yarde
Butler all allied to ladies from the stage.
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1908-09-27

I think that the solution Is not far to
find Between the point of view of the
manners and the dress of the actress and
of the lady of the great world there
used to be an impossible gulf
Between the manners. the dress and
the mode Of thinking of the lady of the
smart set' and the actress today there
is no perceptible difference, except posi-
bly, that the balance of morals is on the
side Of the actress.
Among the marriages which have caused
a surprise, no secret has been more
carefully guarded, and no matrimonial
alliance has ever caused more amazement
than the alliance between Mrs. Marshall
Field and Mr.. Maldwin Drummond.
, Not even her most intimate friends had
an idea that the marriage was arranged,
and only when she sat at her luncheon
table after the ceremony with her hus-
band and the best man did she pencil a
little note to an intimate friend, and as
she left the room gave her the informa-
ton that she had just been married.
l think most people will congratulate
the lady on her sense, for the interest
aroused by the marriage of a woman who
owns millions from the fact of her vast
wealth can be neither gratifying nor con-
venient, and consequently this quiet and
unassuming ceremony points to much
good taste, and If I may add good
feeling.

Wrestling OF the county from the

The indignation, however, is not
confined TO politics but extends into
all the business circles of the COM

and labor Of Sherman c. 'Denham in

and helping TO transform it from a
sleepy town into a live and hustIing
city. Again, this newspaper repeats
that the Indignation Of the people of
Clarksburg is without bounds.
The appointment OF Williams was
without precedent in the county. The
party orgapizarlon was not consulted,
nor we're the workers and voters. The
people of Clarksburg, the patrons of
the office themselves, were not con
suited nor were their wishes or ad-
vice sought And. without fear OF
successful contradiction this news
paper here states that his appoint
ment does not meet with the approval
Of the people OF the city.
Williams is a man of few friends
owing to a peculiar disposition, and
the last few years a man of doubtful
political faith. Had there been a
vacancy ana the people called upon tc
recommend man for the place oil
account of his qualifications, fitness
and loyalty to the Republican party
