To keep the face. neck. arms and hands truly beautiful and youthful in appearance, the treatment which seems most sensible is one which will actually remove the skin itself immediately it begins to age. fade, coarsen or discoior. The only known treat ment which will do this. aside from a pain full expensive surgical operation, is the ap- plieation of ordinary mercolized wax, which is as harmless it is effective.
 The wax is put at night, just as you apply cold cream and washed off in the morning. 1t absorbs the dead and half dead surface skin in almost invisible flaky particles, a little each day, no discomfort being experienced. With the disappearance of the old cuticle, the newer, healthier skin underneath gradually appears, richly beauti- ful with the flush of youth. This merco- lized wax, which you get at any drug store in original package, is indeed verita- ble wonder-worker.

NOVELTY BILL AT LOEW'S BJOU Hayakawa in "The Dragon Painter" and World Se-

A well assorted collection of novelties, with some old favorites, comprise the programme at Loew's BUou for the last

 A real modern minstrel organization
 of six will head the bill It is Jean Leighton's revue presenting "A Temple Of Minstrelsy," with all it's genuine vocal l surprises and comedy delights. Miss Leighton. the only white spot of the ountette, has surrounded herself with five Chauncey Olcotts of the burnt cork world. and combined with her sunny
 and golden-smfie personality, has show | that will even turn blue man rosy. Sidney Broughton and Grace Turner have a delightful Irish episode they call Just Landed" They have a setting of an ocean liner at the dock and the dainty little colleen and the American customs offer 8 dialogue just witty and crisp that it is refreshing. Haly Langton and Tom Smith whose foolery is novel and new. and whose
 piano-songologue, that runs from original to popular tunes. are full of zest and bubbling merriment.

others of the series.
The question What must l do to
secure salvation?" or as it was asked
by the Philippian jailor in the words
of the text: What must I do to be
saved?" is a question which is as
suredly worthy of sincere and
thoro investigation. Where shall We
look for an answer to such ques-
ton? Christianity, in so far as it
pertains to the spiritual and eternal,
is not within the realm Of science,
therefore science can give us no
answer to the question. Philosophy
can give us. at the best, only vague
speculations and possibilities, no as
surance. If it were possible for man

told that faith was necessary. They
were told to take the next step, their
question was evidence that they be-
lieved. The literal meaning of "re-
pentence" is "a change of mind or
purpose" but at the time the word
was used by Peter it had come to
have the meaning of a change in
conduct, resulting from a change of
mind or purpose. 1t is not sorrow,
but sorrow, or regret, sometimes
produces repentance; see 2 Cor.
7:10. Repentance is not penance,
but penance may sometimes be
part of repentance. If we have lived
lives of unbelief, of sin, and Of
selfishness We must change our con-
duct and make 1t harmonize with
faith in Jesus. John the Baptist
preached repentance, the Lord him
self preached it. Peter preached it
the day of Pentecost, Paul said
Now He commandeth all men
everywhere to repent" Acts 1890.
Confession.
In the Roman letter Paul makes
this statement "If thou shalt confess
with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and
shalt believe in thine heart that God
hath raised him from the dead, thou
shalt be saved. For with the heart
man believeth unto righteousness
and with the mouth confession is
made unto salvation. For the scrip
ture sayeth, Whosoever believeth on
him shall not be ashamed" Chapter
10-9-11. No one who sincerely be-
lieves in Jesus Christ and honestly
wants to live the Christian life will
try to hide his faith. If Jesus suf-
fered and died on the cross for you,
surely the very least you can do for
him is to publicly profess Him as
your Savior, even if it is little hard
to do so. study of the instances
of confession recorded in the New
Testament clearly shows that a con-
fession of faith in Jesus Christ was
required of converts before the !
administration of baptism. The his
tory of the early church shows fur
ther that those who became Christ
ians continually manifested their .
faith before the world by their words
and deeds. They were not ashamed. /
Their confession of faith was not
The gazette-times. [volume] (Heppner, Or.) 1912-1925, 1919-02-13

limited to the period preceding
baptism, it was continuous. If they
were prosecuted or laughed at for
their faith. they were proud to suffer
for the sake of the faith. Jesus him
self said: Every one therefore who
shall confess me before men, him will
| also confess before my Father who
is in heaven. But whosoever shall
deny me before men, him will l also
deny before my Father who is in
Heaven" Mat. 10:32-33.
Obedience.
Christianity would be unreason-
able and destructive religion if 1t did
not insist that its professors should
strive at all times and In all ways to
overcome sin and evil. The require
ment of repentance has to do with
reformation of life. Confession re-
quires that our words and deeds shall
show forth our faith. If, as shown
in previous study, sin is the trans
gression Of law then obedience to
God will be the most helpful method
of putting sin out of the life one
lives. If there is one lesson that
stands out prominently all thru the
Old and New Testaments it is the
lesson of obedience. The details for
the building of the tabernacle, the
ark of the covenant, and the temple
were laid down in the most minute
particular and the people were in
structed to be very careful to build
according to the pattern laid down
At the time of the exodus from
Egypt only those homes escaped,
upon the door posts of which the
blood of kid had been sprinkled in
all other homes the first-born were
slain. The Jews were instructed just
how to carry the ark of the covenant,
only the family of Kohath of the
tribe of Levi were permitted to
touch it. But one time man named
Uzzah thought the ark was going to
fall over so he just put his hand
against it to steady it. He had no
right to touch it. God smote him
for his error; and there he died by
the ark of God" Sam. 6:7. This
man had very good intentions but he
had forgotten that God requires

said. His word is authoritative and
can be safely followed To find out
what God has said upon this sugject
we naturally turn TO the New Testa-
ment because the New Testament
contains the Christian scriptures.
The Old Testament contains the Jew
ish scriptures.
Faith.
The answer of the Apostle Paul to
the Philippian jailor was, Believe
on the Lord Jesus. and thou shalt be
saved" 1t has previously been
pointed out that faith is one of the
elements of Christianity. That the
gospel has to do especially with this
faith element, setting forth those
facts in relation to Jesus which must
be believed Further, 1t was shown
that salvation was impossible with
out faith in Jesus Christ. 1t may
appear somewhat confusing, how
ever, to mention faith in connection
with the question What must do?'
But faith is properly regarded in the
scriptures as an act, a mental act. To
believe is just as much an act of the
normal intellect as to remember, to
purpose, or to think. To be unable
to dc any one of these things is to be
mentally deficient. without faith it
is impossible to please God, for he
that cometh to God must believe that
He is, and that He is a rewarder of
them that seek after Him." God
so loved the world, that he gave His
only begotten son, that whOsoever be-
lieveth on him should not perish, but
have eternal life" HE that disbe-
lieveth shall be condemned. Nix.
1916.
How can a man who does not be-
lieve obtain faith. First there must
be the will, the desire to believe.
Some men love darkness rather than
light because their deeds are evil.
Some don't want to believe After
the desire is there en- intelligent
study of Gods word, the principal
Christian evidence, will produce
faith. Faith cometh not by prayer,
or fasting but Faith cometh by hear
ing and hearing by the word of God.
Rom. 10:17.
Repentance.
1t would be serious mistake to
conclude that to believe in Jesus
Christ is the only thing necessary to
secure salvatiin 1t is the first thing.
not the only thing. On the day of

Jesus, Peter preached in. Jerusalem

had served faithfully thru the war

He has never been known to do any

Dick Ragland is known from Wash
