BURYING RICH SENATOR'S.

Not long ago Senator Russell
A. Alger passed away. We are
reminded of his death by the
report recently issued by the
secretary of the United States
senate, which shows that the
funeral of Senator Alger cost

the amount paid for special train.
This is rather an expensive fun.

For the benefit Of our readers,
we shall state what we have said
heretofore "All Christians are
Socialists "as far as they know
the word. We have been asked
to state our position, this we
have done time and again. But
we are never tired of a good
thing: Neither do We get tired
in telling a good thing. We are
q Christian man, and that makes
us i Bible Socialist. We do net
undertake to do any thing, but

tinc,ion between the two.
Respectfully,
Mabel Stevens.
There is nothing that will af.
ford US more pleasure than to
answer this question for sister
Mabel Stevens-And when we
have answered it, we are conf
dent, that even those who would
love to have it different, will say
that it is the word of God. Yet
this is not The first time that we
have been asked this question -
inorder that we should explain
these same scriptures-For we
must say, that OH these scrip
lures, the whole arguments of
the one man theory is hinged by
its avocates For they argue
that the man spoken of in
this scripture, is Christ,
The last man Adam was made
a quickening spirit. ." Again,
they say, that this language
teach us that THE man with the
living soul wassthe first being on
earth please read. The first
man Adam was made n living
soul" Aud true there is a
sense, yes, two of them in
which we can say this; that
Adam was the first man and THE
FIRST ONE Is. that this man was
formed from the dust of the
ground, that which had been
created on the first day. This
is the part of this man that was
called ADAM-.And to, because A.
DAM Is the root WORD of creation.
And when we speak of the dust
part Of this man, we then admit
it to have been created: even be.
fore any living creature. But
when we refer to this mans full
being g-We must admit him to
have been formed from the dust
of the ground after the seventh
day. by this, we then say there
was Il human being created on
the sixth day. Hence, there had
to Le ahuman being on the earth
before God formed the man aud
placed him in the garden. THE
SECOND POINT Is, that after God
had breutled into his nostrils
the breath OF life this man be.
came a living soul. Please read.
Ard the Lord God formed man OF the
dust Of tho ground. and hrcalhcd into
his nos,rils the breath of life; aud msn
became q living soul. Gen. 2-7,
This made this man a complete
man. Hence 1t made him the
first complete man. on earth.
The man who had been created
on the sixth day; he was a com.
plete natural man: But he did
not have SALVATION. And it was
for this reason that Isaiah spoke
IN this language.
Sing. . barren, thou that diGst no,
bear; tresk forth into singing. and cry
aloud, thou that didst no, travail with
child; Tor mora are tho children Of tho
desola.e than The children Of the mar.
ricd wife, saith tho Lord. lss. H-l.
Here we have the two men and
the one that was created on the
sixth day q desolate being, butnot
Of children, for they have many
more children than the married
wifc-The married wife is the one
who had heen placed in the gar.
den, with a living soul within
them. This we repeat IL what
the man who had been created on
the sixth day was desOlate Of.
And so that the readers may
comprehend the truth in this,
we shall ask you to read,

Now turn to page 426 of the
report of the Secretary of the
senate, and it will be found that
in addition TO paying Senator
Algcr's funeral expense, the
senate voted his widow q cash
gift of five thousand dollars.
Had this sum been voted to
some poor woman who was in
dire distress this protest would
not be made.
But upon what pretext does
the senate vote these thousands
of dollars to the widow of a
multimillionaire senator who
had not the slightest claim on
the government?

this explanation: That is, THE

of the jewish race. He was the

man was created on the sixth
day. (Sce Gen. 1-2H-27) He was
the progenitor of the Gentle race,
Christ made him a quickening
Spirit by giving him salvation.)
We have explained previously,
that this was not complete man
until he was made a quickening
spirit through Christ at his death.
And in order that the reader
may more fully understand this
we shall ask them to read this
scripture.
For as The Father raiseth up the dead.

There is no room left for

Is, Christ made them a living

them nigh. Now we must look
at the next point. which ia THE
man is the Lord from heaven. /"
We shall prove by the word that
Paul did not have any reference
10 Christ as this man when be
used the language above quoted.
In the first place. we must un.
lcrstand that there is three

heaven, Paul was caught up into
Ihe third heaven. Adam who
was placed in the garden, was
placed in the first heaven; He
also, was callcd the son of God.
