Is it Possible to Legiislate
Life and Brains?

Swift & Company Is
primarily an organization
of men, not a collection
of brick, mortar, and
machinery.
Packing Plants, their
equipment and useful
ness are only outward
symbols of the intelli-
gence, life long expert
ence, and right purpose
of the men who compose
the organization and of
those who direct it.
Will not Government direc-
ton of the packing industry,
now contemplated by Congress,
take over the empty husk of
physical property and equipment
and sacrifice the initiative, ex-
perience and devotion of these
men, which is the life itself of
the Industry
What legislation, what politi-
cal adroitness could replace such
life and brains, once driven out2

by faith, of sanctiication by grace,
growth IN the likeness of Christ, re-
tributive justice, future punishment
and rewards. The thing that has given
rise to so many of the obnoxious isms of
to-day is the desire and felt necessity to
get rid of hell. If there is a heaven,
there is also a nell where uurepentant
sinners must forever endure the just
recompense of their deeds. We can
only escape this by true and sincere re-
pentance for sin. and the greatest of
all sins, the root of the great tree of
sin, is unbelief, that is not believing on
and receiving Jesus as our Saviour. If
we truly do this we will confess Him
before men and show our allegiance to
Him by life of service. Then follows
victory over sin and death with glorifi-
cation with Jesus. JoANNES.

THE PEOPLES FORUM.
PRACTICAL PREACHING


There is howl against doctrinal and
a clamor for practical preaching now
a days. But practice is founded on
doctrine. Sound doctrine, which Paul
required, is healthy teaching Christi
anity is system of doctrine, as we'll as
of life. Sound doctrine is contrasted
with the teaching of false teachers
which lowered the tone of Christian
life. A true moral life can rest only on
the basis of the facts of the gospel
plan of salvation.
Heterodoxy any thing other than the
word of God teaches. 1t opposes the
teaching of Christ it is heterodox.
Sound doctrine Is the health of religion.
1t is wholesome. 1t tends to heal d.
visions in churches, as we'll as between
God and the soul. 1t is wholesome as
contrasted with other literature, much
of which is good. but there is an ele-
ment OF evil in the writings of the best
authors.
Some literature has too much senti-
ment or romance, some feed the intel
lect yet starve the heart. But the Cos
pei of Jesus saves and sanctifies body,
soul and spirit 1t gives true culture to
the mind, feeds and nourishes all the
graces of the heart and so becomes a
doctrine of holiness. One of the char
acteristics of the last days in the turn
ing away from the faith once for all
delivered to the saints. Sound teaching
will be rejected as unimportant. They
say there is no value in doctrine. Live
well and that is enough. True Chris
tan living is the fruit of sound doctrine,
hence the necessity of knowing the
scriptures. There is safety here. But
are we at liberty to put whatever con-
struction we please on the word of God?
There are laws for the Interpretation of
language, which must be recognized. If
the Bible is designed to reveal Cod g
will it cannot be intended at the same
time to enshroud it in mystery by figu-
rative and symbolic language.
Written in human language by human
agents, it is of no practical value, I'M
less we can arrive at its meaning as we
do the meaning of another book.
Whether the events refer to the past
or future we must rest upon the author
ity of Gods word and on this authority
it is no harder to understand what shall
be, than it Is to believe what has been.
What is needed most of all in the study
of the Bible is an humble submissive
spirit crying Speak Lord for thy ser.
want heareth." How do we know that
that Jesus was born in the flesh, that
He was despised and rejected of men,
that He preached and worked miracles,
died on the cross and rose again anC
assembled upon high? We know it or
the testimony of the word and thus We
may know of things to come. When We
read the Bible we are to take it in it,
literal sense unless we know that &
spiritual sense is to be given it or thai
we must give the figurative or symbolic
meaning.
We must recognize and accept the
doctrines emphasized in the Bible
Such as the Fall of Man, by the en-
trance of SIN with the awful results
Sin which made the death of Christ {
necessity as a sacrifice for sin, the ne
cessity of regeneration, of justification
