Arguing that vast majority of the
people esteem alcoholic beverages es

the liquor interests are saying that
the government has no right to stop
supplying the demand for them. The
weak point in this charge Is that It Is
based upon false premises. Those who
advance such argument will, of course
have to admit that the citizens of the

In all of the remaining wet states
there is so large an element for pro.
hibition that the question is constantly
before the people in state, county OF

me mat We might nave life" What a
solemnizing truth it Is, that our saliva
ton depends upon our willingness to
accept the offer of salvation fully pur-
chased by Christ and freely offered to
the world in him. In other plain
words, that we may be saved or not,
as we choose. If we enter through
Christ, the open door, we shall be
saved; II we choose not to enter we
shall be lost It is not enough, you
see to know that Christ is the only
open door into salvation and the open
door for all. If he Is to be our Savior,
he must rs the open door, be made
use of, otherwise how can he avail us?
We should also note that Christ is
the open door into service for those
WHO have entered. OF such he says
they "shall go in and out and find pas
tuic.' Sustenance for the Christian
is found not only in the study of the
Bible, and other means of grace. but
as we'll, we see from our text, in Chris
tlan service.
Christ does not intend that those
who are saved shall rest In ease; rath-
er ne means that they shall serve and
In service find strength. OF himself
he said my meat Is to do the will Of
hlIi that sent me-" This word was in
response to his disciples who returning
from Sychar whittier they had gone to
buy meat, prayed him, saying, 'master
eat" To this he had replied, ~ have
meat to eat that ye know not Of" They
thought someone must have brought
him something 10 eat But 1t was not
of material food he spoke; 1t was Of
that spiritual sustenance which comes
TO those who in service do the will Of
God He had been ministerlng TO the
woman of Samaria, and had met her
spiritual need this service was to him
the meat they knew not Of.
And so those who have entered into
salvation through Christ, the open
door, will find spiritual sustenance
(pasturage), as they so out through
Christ, the open door In service to
their fellow men.

considerable about doors. Christ in
this text represents himself as the
open door. The words with which he
paints this into the picture are, IF any
man enter in," Ego in" and Ego out"
Now there must be some very plain
and fundamental lessons Christ would
teach US by this homely and common
place portrayal of himself. One Of
these is the simple one that the Lord
Jesus Christ is the open door into sal
walton. "How elemental" you say;
yes, but how essential 1t Is that we
know this, for many mistake other
doors for the door. They think saliva.
ton Is either through the church, or
baptism, or good works, or something
else, when the truth is salvation Is
through Christ. How plain and direct
are the Scriptures concerning this, as
for example, Romans 6:23, "the gift
of God is eternal life through Jesus
Christ our Lord" or Acts 4 10, "Nei-
Their is there salvation In any other:
for there Is none other name under
heaven given among men, whereby we
must be saved" And then the words
of Christ in our text, II am the door;
by (through) me If any man enter in
he shall be saved"
Next to knowing that Jesus Christ
Is the only open door into salvation Is
the need of knowing that he Is the
open door for all. He himself makes
this clear when he says "by me If any
man enter in he shall be saved" ANY
man" includes every man, and eX-
cludes no man. Jesus Christ, the open
door into salvation, swings wide open
for every one to enter In. This also Is
clearly taught In the Scriptures. Our
Lord himself bids all men 10 come to
him and the all-inclusive word of the
Gospel is whatsoever" In this connec-
ton II Is usually coupled with another
important word that we do well to pom
der, and that is the word twill :" "whO.
soever WILL" we read, 'may Gomez" and
again whatsoever will, let him take of
the water of life freely" So we see
that while Jesus Christ Is the open
door for all, the question Of entering
that door depends upon the wills of
those for whom the door swings wide
open. Jesus never coerces anyone into
entering through him, the open door,
into salvation; he invites, entreats and
constrains all to enter, but never COM
pels anyone to enter. This puts the
Question of entering the open door
squarely before each person. Christ
is the open door for all into salvation,
but whether one enters or not Is
matter of his own will. This IS why
Jesus said to men in his dag 10 whom
he nnnonled: aye will not come unto

eleven years was agent at Victoria,

these high prices for meat they had re
linquished at twelve cents pound.
"When complaint was made he.u We
were told that the government had to
average up their prices. In other words
they used this Australian meat to mako
up their losses on the excessive prices
they paid the American meat trust.
cit has always seemed the greatest

which is cheap, should be handed over
