To find the sheep that was lost.

What price has been paid for our
redemption Surely we could ask for
no more; God himself could ask for no
more and Satan is silenced in view Of
the work done on the cross. Christ's
cry, "It is finished" answers all the
questions which could be asked in
heaven, earth or hell.
We need only fall down and thank
fully accept the deliverance bought by
his precious blood.
A Christian girl lay dying. With
much effort she moved one hand to the
other and, after feeling the palm for a
moment, whispered, "No nail !; his hand
was pierced with the NALL" With even
more effort she raised her hand to her
brow and, after feeling it, said, mo
thorns; his brow was crowned with
thorns." Finally, her hand stole to her
side, and with triumph she cried, mo
spear; his side was pierced bJ the

The death of Christ cannot be under
stood save as the death of the sim
bearer. This alone explains the agony
and bloody sweat Of Gethsemane and
the plea, "Father, If thou be willing,
remove this cup from me-" Christ
would not be worthy of the respect
paid even to soldiers who have gone
without tlinching to death, or to mar
tyrs who have sung at the stake, If
his death were no different from
theirs. But If we understand that he
was entering into the shadow Of the
cross upon which he would bear the
sins Of the world, we can understand
his shrinking horror Of It all.
AS to what Christ suffered on the
cross VIE must speak with reverent re-
serve. But his cry, "My God, my God,
why has thou fcrsaken me" must not
be emptied'o of lis awful content. Bish.
op Moule points out that Christ could
not suffer that personal remorse for
sin which must be one awful element
Of the future woe Of sinners; yet his
cry on the cross "at least favors the
belief that the all-blessed Sufferer
willed to bear, and the Father to Or
dain, the personal experience of de-
sertion such as enters into the final
DOOM" The bishop wisely adds, "The
reverent disciple will avoid all detailed
speculation in such matter" But
well may we sing:

sacrifice, for the Lamb must be with
out blemish or spot. But even though
he had lived his perfect life, there
would have been no salvation for sim
ners had he not gone to the cross. In
the strong words Of Bishop Moule,
Ellis life had to do with his being
all-worthy. But it did not, in whole
or in part, constitute the sacri-
fice." The Apostle Peter sums up the
matter thus: "Ye were not redeemed
with corruptible things, as silver and
gold, from your vain conversation re-
ceived by tradition from your fathers,
but with the precious word of Christ,
as of lamb without blemish and
without spot"
His life was given "for" us, that Is,
"instead of" us, for so the word may
be translated. The idea Of substitu-
ton cannot be removed from this ex-
preston. An illustration of the
thought Is found in Exodus 0:12:
"When thou takest the sum Of the
children of Israel after their number,
then shall they give every man a ran
som for his soul unto the Lord" The
half-shekel given by each man was
"atonement money" ITO make atone
ment for their souls" as the succeed
ing verses make clear. The people were
considered not as doomed but as ram
somed by the atonement money paid
Instead Of their death. Just so, Christ's
death takes the place of ours.
The reality and solemnity Of the
substitution of Christ for sinners is
set forth in Galations 3:13: "Christ
hath redeemed us from the course OF
the law, having become a curse fol-
u.s." The old revival hymn well ex.
presses the amazing and glorious
fact:

WEEK is NEXT
New Home Cards to Be Distributed
by the Women to Emphasize
Need of Saving
Food

| From October % to November is
] conservation week for rededication of
American households to the saving
/ of food to win the war The woman's
organization will distribute new food
saving cards in every home in Keo-
kuk that week. ]. F. Elder has re-
ceiyed the following from j. f.
Deems. state food administrator:
Conservation week will be devoted
TO rededication of the civilian popu-
la ton to the tasks which the war
imposes on them and which, however
burdensome. are but an incident to
the labor of love for us that our
soldiers are performing in the
trenches over there. To fix the at
tention and enliven the interest of
our people in the new conservation
program the food administration
will point the extraordinary neces-
sity that confronts US and thus i'm
pei every person to full discharge
of his patriotic duty in respect of
food conservation.
War RACES on the other side of the
Atlantic-we live in bomb proof
houses and are out of the danger
zone We have plenty to eat and
know nothing of real food shortage,
so the chances are that, unless we
play the game for all it's worth until
the last shot is fired. we may miss
the great lessons that the English
and French are learning from sheer
necessity.

Cornelius J. Hickey died at 5:45
o'clock this morning from pneu
nlonia following influenza. From the
inception of his sickness there was
little hope Of his recovery. There
was a slight rally yesterday noon.
but he grew worse during the night
and died peacefully early this morn
ing.
He was veteran OF the Spanish
war, in which he was a corporal and
so good soldier as to win the praise
of the regular army officers under
whom he served in the Twentieth
United States infantry. :
His popularity in Keokuk was
based upon his generous liking for
ether men, and he never failed to
do anyone a favor whenever oppor-
tunity offered Not only in his army
service, but always, his high sense
Of duty was characteristic OF him. He
served on the Keokuk police force
for awhile and was one of the best
policemen the city ever had.
His last employment was on a gov
eminent job in Georgia, where he
took influenza and hurried home.
He was born here and lived in
Keokuk all his life. He became
forty-five years old yesterday.
