His followers" said the Rev Mr.. Rohl-
fling In one Of the preceding verses,
He says, i am the Vine. We are the
branches. He that aDideth in me and
] in him, the same bringeth forth
much fruit: for without Me ye can do
nothing Jesus is the Vine; they that
have been united with Him, believe in
Him and follow Him. His disciples
are the branches.
'The charge has often been prefer
red against the Lutheran church that
we do not urge our people to holiness
of life; that we emphasize justification
at the expense of sanctification. 1t
has been claimed that because we teach
with scripture that man is saved by
grace Though faith which is in Christ
that men are led to think that they
need not perform any good deeds, if

Says Good Should Be Done Not to Merit
Something but to Praise God.

show before all men that you belong
to me; that you are living branches Of
the living Vine.
According to this statement of the
Savior: so are you my disciples faith
and good works are two inseparable
things. Where faith is, there must
good deeds of necessity follow Ac-
cording to this statement: so are you
my disciples. not to bear much fruit,
not to do good. is equal to not being
a disciple of Christ.
Must Have Good Deeds.
How absurd then to think that You
can be q disciple Of Christ without
good deeds? What folly to think that
faith dwells in your heart. if selfish
ness marks all your actions. if neither
the love Of God nor the love of the
neighbor has found place within you?
What inconsistency, if. processing to
have faith in Christ. the wants and the
sufferings Of your fellow creatures do
not appeal to your heart and fill you
with sympathy to feed the hungry and
to clothe the naked?
f. Look at the vineyard and see the
thick clusters hanging on the branches
There you have picture of what faith
does. If you are a branch upon the
Vine which is Jesus Christ. if the Son
of God abides in you and you in Him,
it is an impossible thing that yon
should not bring forth the fruit of good
works
why does faith bring forth this
fruit: We must be very careful not
to assign meritorious position to our
good deeds. Soon after Luther's death
a great controversy arose on the ques-
ton of good works Because faith and
good works are inseperable and no hv-
ing man can be saved without the true
faith which abounds in good works. it
was claimed by not few, that good
works are therefore necessary for sal
walton. On the other hand. because
we are saved by faith alone with the
exclusion Of our own good deeds. and
no man will get to heaven who tries to
obtain eternal life by his own deeds.
it was claimed by others that good
works were pernicious to salvation.
Settled in Bible.
This question was settled in the
Book Of Concord The latter position
was rejected as absolutely false. and
the former proposition that good work,
are necessary for salvation. was de-
nounced il it conveyed the idea that
good works are a factor in the work
of our salvation
The reason faith brings forth the
fruit Of good deeds is stated by Jesus
in our text: Herein is my Father glor-
flied. that We hear much fruit We
should slorify God BY our deeds. We
should perform them not to merit
something and to gain heaven thereby,
but to praise God"

BLAINE COUNTY PROSPECTS.

Glasgow. June 26.-Another heavy
rain fell here on Thursday evening in
creasing the prospects for an excel
lent crop in this county. The rain
week ago came in the nick of time to
save all crops excepting winter rye
in some districts near Canadian line
where dry weather had injured it.
Since the rain some of the rye is re-
ported to have revived and is filling
with grain. Wheat and other spring
grains now are in excellent condition
and with little more moisture will
produce bumper crops. Worms and
grasshoppers caused little damage
in mountain sections. Crops have
never looked better at this season.
