Spirit does not accomplish Ills
work in human salvation unless
the free will of man lays hold upon
! the Divine power and works while
I God works.
WHAT is SALVATION
/. It could not be expressed
more tersely than in our text. 1t
is to will Gods good pleasure"
and to do Gods good pleasure. "
Salvation is the harmony of the
human will, with the Divine will,
loving what God loves and doing
what God is doing in the line of
active benevolence, All machine
religion is sounding brass and the
tinkling cymbol. The natural
alienation of the hmuan soul must
be turned into sympathy with the
character of God, before we are in
a condition which the Bible terms
salvation.
HAS IT'S ORIGIN IN THE
LOVE OF GOD
2. For it is God who worketh in
you to will and to do of His good
pleasure. " We love Him be-
cause He first loved us, and no
human soul ever came to God says
Christ, except the Father draw
him. In this Christian land
every soul receives the common
operations of the Spirit of God
In variety of ways the sinful
,oul is drawn toward God.

Easy Methods Of Putting Them In Or
Taking Them Out Of the Ground.
One of the farmers problems is how
to look after the many posts which he
has need Of in keeping up fences, etc.
While experiences differ it is safe to
say that white cedar poles last longer
than any other kind. White oak posts
are also good. 1t is said that posts put
into the ground tops downward will
outlast those that are set tops upward.
This is due, so 1t is surmised, to the
fact that they absorb water from the
earth when they are set in the natural
position, but do not absorb it when
they are reversed.
If the end Of a post is allowed to
soak in liquid tar or is treated with
creosote, it viii last much longer than
1t would ordinarily. When it is neces-
sary to draw a post out Of the ground.
1t may be accomplished with little diff

should be fastened about the stump,
/ allowing a good length to the chain.
/ The chain should be a stout one, espe-

set are to be taken out When stumps
or posts are to be removed, spring is

serviceable. It should be made Of an
old buggy axle or any other old piece

This is the 4th Of July. once more, the
men are having a festive time to-day

way. At y o'clock the guns doomed

has seemed boiling hot all day we are
now, as near as I can find out, some
where of Cape Hatteras. Expect to
make the Delaware Breakwater sometime
tomorrow evening; when we will no
doubt drop anchor until Monday. Am
anxious to hear from home, and have you
all hear from me. We pass banana
boats quite often, so we are not altogether
cut off from civilization.
And we are quite numerous enough on
board, to keep ourselves company. II
will see this gets off on the very first mail
after we reach Philadelphia.
A man would almost sweat having an
ice water bath to-day it is so hot on
deck. But we will have plenty OF cold
this winter / suppose and then we will
be wishing for some of this heat that is
going to waste. Well, guess we mortals
are very hard to please anyway. We
will get our 4th of July dinner after we
reach Philadelphia. will stop now and
finish after we get into the Delaware.

Philadelphia has a womans balloon

Miss Ada de Acosta is one of the few
women who have ever had the privilege
of making an ascent with Santos-Du-

they went up together. Then an ex-

short ride.
Mrs. Julian p Thomas has attracted
much attention by her pluck. She has

her is to be killed. She has known what
it is to have the balloon humping along
