15-1-2.
In this scripture, again we
have the evidence, telling in
what manner the disciples Of
Christ, had the power to remit
sins, or retain them. And on
this point Paul said again

In this scripture we are
taught that the saving is in
obedience to the word. And the
power that the disciples has in
remitting or retaining sins is
in their teaching the word of
God, and the hearers believing,

FORGIVENESS OF Sins


Text: t~
"Whosoever sins ye remit,
they are remitted unto them.
and whosoever sins ye retain,
they are retained" st. John
2O-23.
Now the question arises. 1st
How was this scripture fulfilled!
End. In what manner did the
Apostles have power to remit
sins? 3rd. Or retain themf
4th. And if the Apostles had
power to remit sins. is there
any men today that has the
same powers. 5th. f8s
Catholic church claims to have
this power. 9Th. They claim
TO have a true succession OF the
Apostles, and that this chain OF
true successorship has never
been broken.
We remark here, that there
can be no question in regard to
the authoritive power given to
the Apostles, by the Lord. in our
text. it ia plain: Whose sins ye
remit, they are remitted."
There are some people who
say, this power was only given
10 the .ApQstleas this is.. and
would be very slim argument; !;
when Christ said this to the
Apostles. Please read
And he said unto them, Go
We into all the world, and preach
the gospel to every creature.
He that believeth and is bap.
tixed shall be saved; but he that
believeth not shall be damned.
And these signs shall follow
them that believe in my name
shall they cast out devils; they
shall speak with new tongues:
They shall take up serpents'
and if they drink any deadly
thing it shall not hurt them
they shall lay hands on the sick
and they shall recover" St
Mark 16-16:18. s8
BY this we see this power was
not only committed to those few
Apostles, but to all that woult
or did believe. And for thi.
reason the Catholics produe'
this scripture, in their argumen
for their behalf,
"And 10 I am with you Away
even unto the eLd of the world.

This was not to those Apostle
alone it was to continue on up t.

Verify, verify, say unto you
be that belleveth on me, tn
works that I do shall he do also
and greater works than thes
shall he do; because I go unit
my Father" St. John 14-12.
This includes only the on
who believes. Hence, W
should be honest with our selve
and say we do not believe: or "
do not understand, one or th
other. Now those argument
are produced for the benefit {
both Catholic and Protestant an

was committed unto the Apost-
fes by the Lord himself, and

they are condemned for this be.

spoken of in our text only lasted
while the Apostles lived on
earth, that it was them alone
that had this power and wnen
the Apostles died this power

men. But this extreme; of be.
lief, is like the Catholics believe
ing that the Pope and Priest has
this power. Now then we will
bring in the mediative power,
i which is the word-And to do
! this we shall ask you to read the
following:

unto them saying, All power is
given unto me in heaven and on

Go We therefore, and teach

'COWARDLY ACT, F"
SAYS SLATON, OF
FRANKS HANGING
"Assassins Should Be Hanged
for Consummate Outrage"
SAYS Former Governor.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 17.-For-
mer Governor John M. Slaton, of
Georgia, who as chief executive of
that State commuted to life imprison-
ment the sentence of death passed
upon Leo NJ. Frank. and who is here
visiting the Panama Pacific Exposi-
tion, was informed this morning that
Frank had been lynched.
"The act was a consummate out
rage" said Mr. Slaton. "and every
man engaged in the lynching should
be hanged, for he is an assassin.
Such an act is contrary TO the civil
ization of Georgia and one which
every good citizen will condemn.
81 could use no language too con-
demnatory. / believe the governor of
Georgia will use all the power of the
State to punish the malefactors who
disgraced the civilization OF Georgia.
"Their act was one of cowardice
which belongs alone to the assassin.
81 am shocked and Mortified beyond
expression. Any man who approves
of this action of the mob Of murder
ers Is unworthy to be a Georgian.
"Any man or newspaper which con-
dones this offense ought to be driven
out of the state. But the conduct of
this miserable mob of ssassins is
the conduct of the same sort of people
who shoot man from behind a fence
or. murder a woman from a cowardly
heart

STRONG TONE IN
FRANK LETTERS
TO LOCAL MAN
Georgia Victim Displayed Much
Confidence in Notes to C. P.

overtaken Leo NJ Frank there is an
unusual pathos IN recent letters to

magazine did much to influence public
opinion throughout the United States
in favor of the condemned man and

undaunted courage which he displayed

the wearisome months that were con-
sumed in his struggle to obtain a new
trial based upon u judicial revew of

especially touching by reason of the
fact that ii was written during the
prisoners eonvalescence from the
murderous attack which he had suf-
fered at the hands of his fellow con-
vict. William Green, also a life pris-
oner. Green subsequently played the
role of an insane man, and insisted
that he had been ordered by Divine
Providence TO sacrifice the slayer of
Mary Phagan, but there is little
doubt that the assailant was the
willing tool of some person or group
of persons without the prison walls
who desired Franks death.
Last Message.
Although suffering intense agony
and so weak that he was hardly able
to inscribe the words upon the f1imsy
sheet of prison stationery, Franks
last message to Mr.. Connolly breathes
virile spirit Of confidence in his
ultimate vindication and devout
thankfulness that he had been spared
from dlsgraceful death. The letter
follows:

George Norris was nominated for

John Kelly. another Essex county

All the present incumbentS were re-

Berlin and follows:
You are instructed to present the
following note to the German Min

Under instructions from my gov

your eXcellency, in reply to your
note of July 30 in regard to the claim

William p. Frye, that the govern
ment of the United States learns with
regret that the objections urged by

equally regrets that the reasons pre-
sentcd by the imperial German gov

move the objections of the govern
ment of the United States to the
adoption of that course. As this dis

FORECASTED BY
CITY RATABLES
Newark Figures Filed With

21-Point Jump.

mond Favored by Breaks"

According to the Newark city rat
ables. filed today with the Essex
County Tax Board, the city tax rate
for 1915 will be $3.50. Coupled with
the county rate, which VIII be about
6940, the general rate indicated will
be either 1929 or $3.50. This is the
highest rate experienced since 1903
and the third highest since 1866
The Newark land values for this
year total $l73,40S,2l7, While the build
ing Improvements on the land soar
at $l7S, Ala, 400
The personal tax amounts TO $6S,-
15o,96o, but SS7S,735 was sworn off, on
personal taxes.
The total ratables upon which the
city can levy to raise a budget of
Sc, 900 foot S4l9, ,591,S42 This is an
increase of $16 800, 13S.
The poll tax ratables are figured
at $87,1S0, while the dog license reVe-
nue. will bring $7,306.
Second District Increase
The largest increase is in the sec
oud taxing district. Here an in
crease of So, ,295, 1866 is shown over last
year. This district takes i'm the Pru-
Dental Insurance Company. which
alone showed a natural increase of
more than $11 100000. To bring the
total down, several adjustments we're
made.
In the fourth taxing district an i'm
crease of 81, ,252 250 is shown. This is
the second largest increase. This dis
trict takes in the east side of Broad
from Lafayette TO Center and from
Broad to the Pennsylvania Railroad
tracks.
The figures this year are considered
enormous in the face of the county
administration keeping their tax rate
about what it was last year. The
rate at that time was .69i0.
Ss,OOO,0OO to BE Raised.
The city's annual budget this year
calls for an expenditure of about
IS 100000. This sum will have to be
raised by taxation with the eXcep-
lion of the revenue to be derived
from the city revenues consisting of
license fees and franchises. This rev.
enue will total about one million.
The exact amount then TO be raised
for city purposes alone will figure
at So. .S50.006
Any one wishing to see just what
his rate will be can find out by divid-
ing S4t9, ,000, 900 into the amount to be
raised, which is $6,S50,000, or a rate of
1853 for the city alone. To this one
must add the .6940 county tax, which
will make the rate about 2.32.
The rate of S2.32 will be reduced
somewhat by the collection of the
bank stock by the county, which is
subsequently turned over to the city
fund. The collection of poll tax will
bring the rate down another point
from the figures described above.
