Answer to a Question
On the S. S, Lesson for Mar. 3, 1912.
BY Rev. DR.. Linscott.
LESSON, MARK HAAS.

LESSON, MARK HAAS.
QUESTION 3. Verses 14-15. II
a man is truly penitent, does he
necessarily believe in the gospel:
Why or why not?
ANSWER. Johns message was
distinguished by its call to repent
ance, and Jesus, after John was-cast
into prison, continued the doctrine
emphasized by the Baptist His |
theme was Repent We, and believe |
/ the gospel" In answer to the ques- |
4 ton under consideration, I believe |
| that a truly penitent man is, by that
very fact, believer in the essen
tial features of Christ's gospel. He
may never have heard the Whole
gospel story, but if he recognizes
that he Is a sinner, and has made
up his mind to quit sin, and sur
render his life to God, and frori
thenceferth to follow righteousness,
he has a right to believe that he is
accepted of God his sins having been
forgiven and his name recorded in
the Lambs Book of Life. Many a
man, however, who has not repent
ed of his sin. does not get the COM
fort which God attaches to this CON
dition. unless he has faith in God S
, forgiveness. believe, however,
, that a truly penitent man, that is
; one who has actually surrendered
a his life to God, receives the assur-
, ance in his heart that he is accept
. ed of him, and this altogether apart
j from any consideration of the cor
8 rectness of his opinion concerning
? the facts of the gospel. Nature alb
. hors a vacuum, and there are nc
vacuums in nature. If you empty ]
vessel of water, 1t Immediately filii
with air; this illustrates what | be
lieve to be a fact, that when mar
= turns sin out Of his heart God en-
q ters in.
It is true that when the loyini
!, facts of the gospel story are learned
9 by man hungering for Go. tina
d they are a very great comfort Il
a such a man, and through th'
/ knowledge and belief Of these fact
/. lie is often led into the rest o
r faith.

DUG UP WRONG GRAVE?
Startling Development in Frazier
Murder Trial.

Harrisonburg, Va, Dec. 1.-THE
trial of Joseph Frazier, charged
with wife murder. took remarkable
turn yesterday, when it became known
that the prosecution will contend that
when Coroner Biedler and Undertak-
er Fultz went to Island Ford to dis
inter the body of Frazier's wife, in
order to look for signs of violence,
they were deceived by friends Of Fra
ziar into going into the wrong grave
and getting the body of another wo-
man, who was buried ABOUT the same
time Of the interment of the Frazier
yoman. 1t is even claimed that the
headboards marking the graves were
exchanged and the disinterment took
place late one Sunday afternoon, sew
eral weeks ago, when none but SYM
pathizers with Frazier were present
1t is probable that the jury will be
taken to the little grave yard at
Island Ford and witness the disinter-
ment and examination Of the body OF
Frazier's wife.
The case turns upon the testimony
of several women, who declare that
Frazier knocked his wife down and
kicked her in the side, and also
struck her on the head with club
when the woman, whose infant was
but three days old was unable to leave
her bed and cook her husbands
breakfast. One woman say that Mrs
Frazier, when on her Geathbed, tolc
her the whole story OF her husbands
brutality, begging her at the time not
to let. her husband know that she
had been talking. She feared fur
ther violence. Several women told oil
the marks and bruises seen on the
corpse.
After Frazier, who fled to the
mountains was arrested, he himself
insisted upon the disinterment of hi:
wife's body. The coroner and ths
undertaken thought they were exhum
ing the right body, and the absence Of
marks and bruises turned sentiment
in favor of Frazier. If, however. il
turns out that the wrong body was
taken from the grave, Frazier's hopes
will be darkened.
The prisoners counsel, Charles A
Hammer, is confident that the entire
case will fall to the ground, and thai
his client will be acquitted. He con.
tends that Mrs. Frazier died from
natural causes, and that Frazier il
the victim of a malignant conspiracy
