Teaching, Preaching, Healing.

DR.. Headland in one of his lectures
sa id that Christ's plan for establishing
His kingdom on earth was by teach
ing, preaching and healing.
1t was His sole method during the
period of His earthly life, and He COM
missioned His disciples to go forth to
all nations, working in the same way.
No one can truthfully deny that the
great changes and awakening in the
orient have come about as a result of
the teaching, preaching and medical
and surgical healing of ChristS mis-
sionaries among those people.
Christ'S power is eXerted through
His disciples. How great, therefore. is
the appeal to all His believing chill
dren to increase their zeal in promot-
ing by every facility possible the
teaching preaching and healing among
all people
1t is the Christ method for the re-
demption of the world; and the "all
power in Him makes certain it's ac-
complishment.

Zeal for Service.

There is a great call in these days for
Jealous service in Gods worldwide vine
yard.
The cry is being heard louder than ever
before from India, Africa, Japan and
China. We hear much said about the
new day in China: it is but the har-
binger of a new and glorious day soon to
dawn in all the nOn-Christian nations Of
the world.
We do not believe that Christ uttered
idle meaningless words when He
said. "All power is given unto me in
heaven and in earth
The strangely and suddenly opened
doors. the unexpected revolutions in
thought, customs and habits almost in
Il day, of races which had not even
dreamed of any change in all the CEN
turtles of their past. suggest the thought
that the "all power in earth given to
Christ is now specially manifesting it.

Zeal for the Body.

Little is done for the care and train
ing of body and mind unless there be
earnestness and energy displayed Zeal
in this direction is Christian duty. The
body is the temple of God.
1t is written Know ye not that your
body is the temple of. the Holy Ghost
which is in you. which We have of God.
and ye are not your own? For We are
bought with IL price; therefore g!orify God
in your body, and in your spirit. which
are God s.
1t is no easy thing to mortify the deeds
of the body. 1t can only be done through
the spirit. Without it is death. with it
is life. (Rom., S:13)
The body is to be purified and kept
clean for the indwel,ing of the Holy
Guest, and this requires earnest work
and ardent. fervent PRAYER.
Jealous endeavor for the publication of
the body is necessary in striving for the
standard of the ideal Christian.

Duty and Reward.

Devotion to duty brings Zest, and Zest
brings success and enjoyment.
The world looks upon the zeal of the
Christian as madness, but only those who
throw their whole souls into religious
service can know the highest enjoyment
that life can afford.
Much that men count foolish God
counts wise. He not only commends zeal.
but commands it. saying, whatsoever
thy hand findeth to do do it with thy
might" And Christ has given gracious
promise of reward in these words: To
him that overcometh l will grant to sit
with Me on My throne, even as / also
overcame and am set down with Ny
Father on His throne"
Zeal and vigor are essential in coming
off as cOnquerors over the evils of this
world and in rendering that service which
is acceptable unto God. The virtue of
zeal cannot be lacking in the making Of
the ideal Christian.

tlide for mis- signal deliverance when, at
the comm and of God, which came on the
anniversary of the beginning of the flood,
he vacated the ark. The record, incor-
porated ~ the historian into Genesis,
may have been made by Noah himself,
for it is e careful recounting of the prin-
cipal events of the year. using the seven
day PERIODS and months of thirty days in
his account that covered one complete
solar year Five months. $50 days, after
the delugs. began the ark rested on the
Mountains: of Ararat: IS days later the
tops of :he mountains Were seen; 10
days later Noah sent out raven and a
pigeon: days later he sent the pigeon
Out again; days later and again days
later he sent out the pigeon again. This
makes .Si days since the flood began, i'm
the second month, on the 18th day. or Az
days after the year came in; hence the
pigeon was sent out the last time when
$50 days of the year We're past, or eleven
months"
Noah made three different attempts to
find out the prospects of leaving the ark.
The doves return. with the olive leaf
plucked OFT the tree. which the glorious
sunshine was summoning to give forth
new FOLIAGE was an indication of an
early departure. Noah waited until God
called hin. to go forth. When Jehovah
commanded him to Come into the ark
it is clear that God was within. waiting
for him to. enter. and when the orders to
Go forth We're issued God had pre-
pared the earth for new start. Noah
went out of the ark to geek divine bless
ing, give expression TO his gratitude and
make an acceptable offering-pre- emf
nently a sin and burnt offering-that was
prophetic Of new era.
Noah had placed his all into the ark at
at command of God, and he came forth
as the second head of the race taking
Adams place as the head of all living.
to receive possession of the world. He
recognized his responsibility as re-
deemed man who had been saved by the
God. VINO had remembered him. and he
made a sacrificial Offering that was a
"savor of that which giveth rest to God.
The observance of the ritual that had
been established before the flood did not
of itself bring rest but it was symbolic
of the great sacrifice that would bring
peace, pardon and position. as the sons OF
God, TO men. The first altar erected in
the world that had been washed from
sin by the waters of the flood. was a
of the coming of the Mes
siah and the promise of redemption
through the sacrifice of the Lamb of God
upon Calvary. 1t was on this ground that
God determined that He would not again
curse the ground for mans sake. The
Offering of faith averted the curse that
man deserved. Jehovah then entered into
compact with Noah, and dictated the
terms of the new covenant.

Ourselves or Others.

If the zeal OF His followers today is lag
ging He will raise up others. Remember
His words when the Pharisees asked Him
to rebuke those who We're praising His
mighty works: Il tell you that if these
should hold their peace the stones would
Immediately cry OUT
The power that could cause the stones
to speak can reach the stony heart of
man
Shall we be willing in the day of His
power?
If not. others may be chosen and sent
forth for the teaching and healing of the
nations.
Is, this not the day of Gods vista ton
and power?
The time for greater zeal among all
Christians-Zeal for the church in All of
it's sublime and healing ministry-zeal for
the souls of men.
1t is no time now for sleep. Save thy
self and forget not that for others there
is a worldwide work to do.
The crown awaits the jealous Christian.
Awake. my soul: stretch every nerve,
And press With vigor on:

And an immortal crown.

Token.

Il was AN appropriate seal or token
that God selected as "A symbol of His
promise. for il is formed by the drops
of water that are prisms that separate
the pure rays of the sun into their sev-
cral parts. God uses this phenomena OF
nature To proclaim to the whole world
the story of divine love that appears TO
US best amid the universities of life.
Every great soul has been trained in the
university of adversely. The Christening
OF God is for our publication and per-
lection SO the food was sent not merely
to punish a sinful world, but 10 provide
a redeemed stock that had been saved
amid the storms of life. The appearance

ton. The darker the storm n" brighter
the rainbow appears. just as it Is with
US in all of our troubles: the greater the
trials through which We are called to
pass the brighter appear the promises OF
God.

which is stronger than the cordage OF SIN.
and of His redeeming love, which Il
stronger than death. giving them a moral
message of His mercy that cndureth tof-
ever.
The final appeal by which God viii save
the world is the blood of Christ, who died
for us on Calvary. The prohibition
against mans eating OF blood was TIE

of the blood atonenent. that without the
shedding of blood there is no remission

Let US remember His word and forget
not all His benefits. and upon every re-
membrance OF Him and His covenant
draw closer to Him. and. walking under
the shadow OF His presence, give thanks
for His eternal and everlasting covenant
of grace. Let us not forget His promise

The best men in Elko have today
inspected the Thurman premises
and have no doubt that the place
was act afire. That murder rs
we'll rs arson was contemplated is
shown by the circumstances con-
nected with the fire. 1t is clearly
evident that Miss Thurman is dis
liked by the burglar gang, if there
Is one. She sleeps in the middle of
the house and fires were started in
both ends Of the house with the
evident intention Of having them
sweep toward her from both direc-
tions and overcome her before she
would be sufficiently aroused to es-
cape. Another suspicious point Is
that the fires were started at
o'clock this morning when the
house was closed for the night and
all the inmates asleep. The theory
is that there would be lers chance
of discovery before the flames had
secured great headway.
A man who has been seen in the

should disappear at this time is un-
known.
