SALTY SAINTS AND THEIR
SAVIOUR
(By William ~. Ellisl

Sugar on mackerel, or salt in tea
Are mistakes which the palate re-
sents. Sugar and salt are not equiva-
Tents. even though some few millions
of Christians are trying to substitute
sweetness for saltiness.
Christ never sent His disciples into
the world to be sugar. They are not
meant to please palates, but to save
lives. And that is the business of
salt: IL bites but it preserves.
Daring to be different-courage to
be true to ones Christian personality
is a sign of saintliness. Believers
with tang to them, individualities
who care not a whistle about pleas
ing old Madame Grundy, but are in
tensely eager to be acceptable to
Jesus Christ, are the real hope of hu-
man society. Their business is to be
the salt of the earth. Whatever they
touch, they help.
Salt-Christian salt costs. II
represents the high price of living
the highest life. Jesus did not make
il too easy for persons to follow Him
He insisted that they count the cost.
To become as salt for this decaying
old earth is more expensive than talk
ing the highest degrees in a frater-
nal order or finding the loftiest place
in society. For it costs in life m
service, in sacrifice, in hearts blood.
Only those persons become salty
saints who take up a cross, lift up a
cross and are lifted up on cross.
A Cold Douchc For the Crowd
Crowds were still lionizing Jesus.
He was the sensation of the hour
over in novelty-loving Perea. He
was the vogue and wherever He went
q multitude attended Him. But Jesus
knew what was in man, and never
suffered any illusions concerning
popular favor.
Therefore He feared not 10 be "im-
polite" 'indiscreet" and to tell the
wholesome truth as well as that
which tickled ears. Turning TO the
mob, on the occasion treated in this
lesson, He said, in effect: you fol.
low me now. But you cannot truly
be my disciples unless you put me
first in your lives. My claim must
take the precedence of all family ties
all business considerations, all politi-
cal allegiance"

First of all there must be entire re-
nunciation. A clear break with the
past, an utter cutting off of old al
legiances, is His unequivocal require
ment. Before man can be accepted
into citizenship in one country, he
must in definite terms renounce his
old citizenship and loyalty. No king
SO eXacting as Christ in this
In trying to make the Christian
life seem easy we have not followed
the example of Christ. He declares
that it needs all a person is or has
to enter His discipleship. Only sur
rendered lives have the SAVIOUR of
salt. God cannot do anything with
lives that are not completely made
over to Him. His program for puri-
flying and preserving human society
is to leaven it with the salt of Chris
tians before they are anything else.
With that kind of life as His in
strument, nothing is too hard for
Christ. But with saltless church
members, lie can do nothing. If an
observer cannot tell any difference
between the Christians and nom
Christians in community. then
there is sore need of salt in that vi
cinity. For salt makes itself felt:
it even hurts: but it saves.

Don't let the little ones suffer from

Moody used to say that It was only
the halfway Christians who are mis-
cradle. There Is no joy in trying to
serve both God and the world. After
all. according 10 the clear words of
Jesus. that is no loyalty to Him at

render of all: if He chooses TO remit
to us more than ever we had from
the world, that is of Ills royal bounty.

Matamoros, Mexico. Feb. 3-As an in
dication of the activity which is now
under way around the city of Monterrey
there came the news today that last
night a small garrison of Constitution
alists at Eamones station were forced to
evacuatc by a large force Of Fe,lerals
out Of Monterrey. numbering probably
| 500. Later a force of Constitutional
lists arrived on the scene from Mata-
moros. and the fcderals Immediately be-
gan n retreat i'm the direction Of Mon
terrey.
Military train service, which has been
operating between Matamoros and Ra-
mones, is again under way today. and
no further hindrance Of this work is an
ticipated by the local military authori-
ties.
Though Constitutionalists headquart-
ers still maintains silence as to the move
mcnts that are known TO be under way,
there is an undepcurrent Of excitement
that portends important events within
the next few days.
The report that General Pablo Con

staff yesterday, is bound for the city of
San Luis Potosi to begin a siege Of that
place, continues 10 20 the rounds Of those
who are more or less familiar with the
movements Of the ConstitutiJnalists. Ii
is reported also that the continued an
nouncement by General Francisco villa
that he is going to attack Torrcon are
really ruses on his part 10 trick the fed
erals into believing that To be his pur-
pose, and that he really will attack the
city Of Monterrey in connection with the
forces of General Pablo Gonzales.
The report from Brownsville that the
wires connecting Monterrey with the out
side world are cut is considered here as
being certain indication that the Consii-
nationalist forces are closing in on that
city.
