Hebrews he discussed why Jesus an
peared and first put away sin. He
brew y, 20, For then must He often
have suffered since the foundation If
the world; but now once in the end of
the world hath He appeared to put
away SIN by the sacrifice Of Himself e"
God Is revealed in many ways i'm his
creative capacity. in His omnipotence.
IN HIS wisdom, in His glory and
IN His goodness, but through
none of these is revealed in his love.

loves US, to set us an example of SYM

In order that we may be of service
we must be cured of sin.
HIS SECOND APPEARING.

highways and hedges.
THE THIRD APPEARING.
Hebrews 9-2S. 80 Christ was once
| offered to bear the ms of many; and
unto them that look for Him shall He

TO salvation.
Christ is not coming the next time to
| save men, nor IS He coming TO plead
that we might accept Him, nor TO be
rejected and neglected and spurned by
men; but the next coming will be TO
judge the quick and the dead, TO receive
those who love and trust Him and bring
them unto their reward. At that time
what hopelessness and despair must
come 20 the men, who, in the day of
the grace Of God. have rejected His Son
Jesus Christ.
IL was a strong message, faithfully
and forcefully delivered.

AT BAPTIST CHURCH.

Dr. Thacker was greeted by a large
congregation at the Baptist church
Sunday morning and spoke with spiri,
and effect. His text was Matthew
ZI-22: And Plate Saith Unto Them
What Shall Do With Jesus ?'''
The enemies of Jesus demanded the
release of Barabbas, the murderer. and
the crucihXing of Jesus. PLATE took
water and washed his hands and pro-
eiaimed himself innocent of the blood of
| this Just person. He thought he was
innocent of his blood, but he was not
and no one who hears the earnest invi,
tations of Jesus and rejects them is in
nocent of His blood.
| From his text he would get his sub
Ject, The Man of Galilee.''
! Ihe speaker said Jesus was pre-
eminent IN many things. He was pre-
eminent in creation; He made all
things; by Him all things consist; thev
were kept in their beautiful order and
harmony. Jesus was pre-eminent in
Heaven; there the angelic hosts shout
praises To His name and ten thousand
times ten thousand, and thousands of
thousands proclaim worthy is the Lamb
that was slain to receive power. and
riches, and wisdom, and strength and
honor, and glory, and blessing. Jesus
Is pre-eminent in human experience:
IN all human suffering he is present TO
give comfort to the sorrowing, peace to
the troubled and forgiveness to the
penitent; lie soothes the suffering body.
Dut lie forglves and saves the penitent
child who trusts Him. Jesus is head of |
all things; He is head of the church.
All human sorrows and sufferings |
come from sin, and Jesus saves from
SIN, ana, therefore, from the ills that /
come from sin. The speaker exhorted
MS congregation to sing the little girls
snow song Now wash me and | shall
be whittier than snow" Jesus is the
only Savior. To reject Jesus is TO re-
Ject Salvation and a home in Heaven.
Jesus is the foundation of faith. and he
that would have saving faith must
have IL centered in Christ. Jesus was
the substitute for the sinner. He suf-
Tered and died in our stead. that
we through Him might be reconciled
TO the Father and secure a home {
m heaven. Jesus arose from the grave
and brought life and Immortality to
light This was great victory over \
ieath and the grave which he turns /
,ver to us, and we can de- {
lantiy ask, death, where is thy
ting! o grave, where is thy victory?
And after completing his work Jesus =
lscended to His Father, there to inter- b
EIDE for us. Not only so, but He is b

Endorse Judge Qvale.

At a meeting of the Renville
county bar held at Olivia, on Mon
day. Oct. 10th, the question of en-
dorsing a candidate for Judge of
the Twelfth Judicial district was
taken up and considered. It was
the prevailing opinion of the attor-
neys present that as Judge Qvale
of Willmar has served the people
during the time that he has been
judge of the district with fidelity
aud faithfulness; that as his rulings
have been fair and impartial and
his decisions upheld by the ST.
preme court and that as he is we'll
fitted by training and temperament
to continue the work he is engaged
in, that it was the sentiment of the
meeting that he be rendered the
unqualified endorsement of the bar
of Renville county and resolutions
were passed recommending him to
the voters of the district as a free,
fearless and honest Judge, qualified
in every way to perform the duties
