We believe that through the Atom
ment Of Christ all mankind may be
saved, by obedience to the laws
ordinances Of the Gospel.
In, earlier articles Of this series II
has been shown that mortality is di-
vinely provided as a means Of school
ing and test, whereby the spirit Off
spring of God may develop their pow
ers and demonstrate their characters.
Every one of us has been advanced
iiom the unembodied or ~preexisteni
state to our present condition. In
which individual spirit is temporarily
united with a body of flesh and bones.
/ Yet this promotion to the mortal state
is regarded by many as a degradation;
and we are prone to bewail the fallen
condition Of the ace as an unm1tl-
gated calamity. The Scriptures make
| plain the glorious truth that man may
rise far above the plane Upon which
he existed before his birth in the flesh.
We have stopped that we may con
iquer; we nave been permitted TO des-
cend only that we may attain greater
heights.
The transgression of our parents IN
Eden was foreseen, and the Divine
Elan provided a means OF redemption.
The Eternal Father, who is verify the
Father of our spirits, we'll understood
| the diverse natures and varied capaci-
ties of His unembodied children; and
it was plain to Him, even from the be-
ginning, that in the school of mortal
l.fe some would succeed while others
would fail; some would be faithful and
others false; some would choose the
-~~I ~%1,~,,o t1y0 ,usl cOy,9 yun11lT sack
| the way of life while Others would fol
low the road to destruction. He fore
saw hat His commandments would
&c disobeyed and His law violated;
| and that men, shut out from Fills pres
epce and left to themselves would
sink rather than rise, and would re-
trograde rather than advance. and
would be lost to the heavens. 1t was
| plain to Him that death would enter
the world, and that the possession or
bodies by His children would be of
brief individual duration.
A Redeemer was chosen, and that
| even before the foundation Of the
world. He, the first born among
all the spirit children Of God, was
to come to earth, clothed with
tie attributes of both Godhood and
manhood, to teach men the saving
principles Of the eternal Gospel and
SO establish on earth the terms and
conditions Of salvation. In consumma-
ton Of His mission, Christ gave up
His life as a voluntary and vicarious
racrifce for the race. Through the
Ntonement wrought by Him the power
of death has been overcome; for while
al! men must die, their resurrection is
assured. The effect of Christ's Atone
ment upon the race Is twofold:
/. The eventual resurrection of all
men, whether righteous or wicked.
This constitutes Redemption from the
Fall, and, since the Fall anne through
individual transgression, in all justice
1elief therefrom must be made univer-
sal and unconditional.

PLANNED ANOTHER ONE
Each Tried at First to Lay Blame on

Did Some Skiliful Work
on Them.

Morris and Scott, the confessed
slayers Of Harry Imam, are interest
ing specimens of humanity.
They are very ordinary looking and
acting young negroes. II they walked
the length of Main street, as they
did, nobody would notice that they
were any different from a thousand
others of their race.
There is nothing in their appear
ance, actions, or mannerisms, to in
dictate hat they are in the least out
of the ordinary, among men Of their
class. They are seventeen and eigh-
teen years old.
And yet, they have very wild ideas
of crime. based largely on carrying
revolvers, one a little pistol, almost
rusty that Is not likely to hurt any,

How One Merchant Escaped.
They came here from Hannibal
and sauntered slowly up Main street,
stopping to get some bread to eat
and looking into the store windows.
Near Eleventh and Main streets, that
Wednesday afternoon, they looked
into the Stahl meat market just in
time to see the proprietor handling
a sack Of money which loomed large
to the two robbers.
They stopped on the sidewalks and
discussed going in and getting that
money, but finally decided that there
were too many people around just
then.
But they did discuss that desper-
ately bold hold-up in the middle Of
the afternoon in busy Main street
for quite a time, and Stahl might
have been killed instead of Inman.
Good Work by McManus.
And yet, they are the meekest,
most helpless men you ever saw"
said County Attorney McManus after
grilling them for hours in the peni-
tertiary. They are more foolish than
bold. and give up absolutely as soon
as the luck turns against them.
McManus did a brilliant piece of
work in his conduct Of their quiz
zing behind the stone walls in Fort
Madison.
He examined each separately and
had the man sign the statement he
made. Then he played each against
the other, until Scott said to Morris:
1T amt no use for us to try to
lie to this man and try to pass the
buck TO one another. not a bit of
use; let's tell him the truth"
