IZ:l4: "Follow after peace with all
men, and the sanctjfication, without
which, no man shall see the Lord
Evangelist Fife said. "TThen T ask
ed the audience few days ago if they
believed in "Sanctificatton," and not
one would lift his hand 20 say that he
believed ia it, it was not because they
were opposed to what the Bible might
say on the subject, but they had heard
of so much nonsense preached by
those who say so much about "Sancti-
fication," and know so little about it,
that they have become disgusted with
the Righteousness of it,
He said further, "If people would
take more care to investigate the
terms they use, they would often avoid
much confusion. This word "Sanctifi-
cation" is from the Latin sanctificare,
which is the combination of two
words-sanctus-hOly and ficare-to
make, and when put together, they
mean to make holy, or set apart to a
holy or sacred service"
He then referred to a chart he had
on the wall to show it's application in
the Bible use. He said, THE man Of
sin Is represented under such meta
phors as dead, lost, destroyed, alien
ated, condemned, etc. Any one of
these words will express the condition
Of the sinner as a lost man. Then the
Christian is represented under such
metaphors as alive, saved, redeemed,
citizen, justified, sanctified, adopted,
converted, born again, saved, etc. Any
one of these words alone will express
the true condition of the man as a
child of God. Now. then. the process
through which the sinner passes from
the lost state to the saved state is
expressed by such words as regenera-
tion. conversion. new birth, justifica-
ton, sanctification, adoption. The
word ''Sanctification," therefore.
| means no more nor less than the act
of becoming Christian, and has no
intelligent application to growth in
grace in after life, as is commonly in
terpreted by some Of the advocates OF
the sanctification idea"

The sermon on "Sanctification" was
out of the ordinary, and the audiences
felt greatly edited by the discourse.
The text was taken from Hebrews
1874: "Follow after peace with all
men. and the sanctjfication, without
which, no man shall see the Lord"

and partners were secured in a unique
manner. The girls were given hearts
from which a key had been cut and
the boys were given the keys So
the partners were found by fitting the
keys into their places. Then a grand
march proceeded up the stairs where
tables were beautifully decorated in
red and white. The refreshments
were dainty and would have delighted
the heart of st. Valentine himself.

THIS HAcKMAN WAS THRIFTY
notwithstanding His Lack Of Memory
He Manages to Collect a
"Haif" Fare.


A Newark man went to Newtown
Conn, the other day, in quest of an
interview with Doctor Hadley, presi-
dent of Yale. At the railway station
he learned that the Hadley home was
several miles distant. An elderly
hackman. driving spawned horse
and a rickety carriage waited con-
veniently near. and the reporter hired
him for the trip.
Out through the country they drove
for three or four miles. Suddenly the
hackman slapped his knee and
shouted:
a"Whoa!"
What's the matter now?" asked
the reporter.
: "By crickety!" said the hackman
'if that feller Hadley didn't leave town
on the train this morning, and | clean
forgot all about it,"
Its a wonder you didn't remem-
Der before you brought me away out
