hands of lanky woodchopper lald

Half-dazed, he was trying to wink
the blood and mist out of his eyes
when roar was heard on the out
skirts of the crowd, and the stocky
form of the old Boss was seen fight
ing his way into the circle. He nad

he had promised the night BEFORE

to the village. He fought well, ana

through the circle to his friend. But
just there somebody struck him above
the ear with the fiat of barrel stave.
The ripple subsidized; the swath closed.
The Pearlhunter's last friend was
down and out.
The rope was flung over "a limo.
Half q hundred hands, some or them

pull. Half hundred hands did pull.
The rope tightened-slowly. A husn
fell on the mob; hush so deep tnat

scene. the last stroke that stops life

mob. The Pearlhunter was lifted {;
the last light tips Of his toes left the
grass; flames ran up and down his
spine; the world turned black.
There came sudden dash of hoofs,
and a man rode straight at the mob.
1t takes a hardy person to Withstand
the charge of a horse. The crowd
parted. The horseman reached the
dangling man, and with one slash OF
a huge iackknife, cut the rope.
The stroke came barely in time.
The pearlhunter, only saved from
crumpling down to the grass by the
arm of the horseman, dropped limp
and gasping against the side Of the
horse. Slowly the world quit Keeling
the light came back; he raised his
eyes; caught the glitter of sheriff's
star upon the vest of his rescuer.
1t is marvellous how one brave man,
with the law behind him, can awe a
mob.
"who is this manY yelled the
sheriff.

mashed by butt of the Pearlhunter's
head, clawed the red mask UP from

A snarl ran through the mob. They
surged forward. The sheriff drew his
revolver again, and cursed them back.

stormed, "he's entitled to a trial I'M

The mon muttered ominously but
fell back, leaving some little space

silence That Came Alive.

The Pearlhunter was not man to
be long held down. His day was gone !;
but the night remained.
The sheriff was To bring his supper
to him. The fact suddenly became
significant. Maybe he'd come inside.
Maybe he'd come alone.
A rusty stove out in the hallway be-
tween the two cells caught his eye. No
poker; no lid. The door was fastened
in a manner that prevented It's being
taken off. The hearth was gone. Moth

Gains Counted Loss.

The apostle had rested content in
Righteousness Of his own for some
years. He had a wonderful heritage
of religious ancestry, and, in addition,
lived in a manner SO worthy of his
ancestry that he was able to say that
touching the righteousness which is
In the law" he was "blameless." Ac-
cording to human standards, nothing
more could be asked than was exempli-
fed in this man.
Yet Paul tells us that when the Lord
Jesus Christ was revealed to him in
glory, on the way to Damascus, he at
once changed the headings in his
ledger. The very religious assets
which he had accounted gains he
now classified as GLOSS" This was
not because these things were evil in
themselves, but because he felt they
had come between his soul and
Christ, and had robbed him of all the
blessings he might have had in the
Saviour. vf k4a

Led the WAY.

In all the centuries of the progress
of civilization and the amelioration
of the condition of the masses, the
religion of God seems TO have led the
way, awakening the moral conscience
and preparing the soul of nations for
the reforms that followed.

find. He was not disappointed. In
the outer edge of the crowd, leaning
carelessly against hitch rack, stood
the man he was expecting to see. He
had come out of the Mud Hen at the
beginning of the uproar but had taken
no part in the lynching. He didn't
need to. He had a whole town to do
it for him.
The Pearlhunter was not surprised
to see him there. Why shouldn't he
be there, a very much interested spec
tator at the final working out of his
well-laid plot, plot that had worked
out so infinitely better than he had
planned? Why shouldn't man come
to see himself hanged?
And there the Pearlhunter stood.

righteousness BY Faith.

One Of the blessings of which he
had been deprived, by dependence on
his own righteousness, was that
righteousness of God which is by
faith. This righteousness issues from
God. Is the God-kind Of Righteousness,
the only kind which avails with God.
Truly, any other Is but 'loss," but this
kind is a "gain," which man would
obtain cheaply If be were to sell all
he had for 1t. But the wonder is
that it is given freely to the empty
hand Of faith!
The text makes clear that this
righteousness, this state Of acceptance
with God. belongs to those who put
their trust In Christ, and thus are "in
Him."

Martin Luther's statement.

This truth was brought to the fore
in the Reformation and Is set forth
clearly by Martin Luther. Luther
says to believers in Christ: 'Thou art
so entirely and nearly joined to
Christ, that He and thou are made,
as 1t were, one person; so that thou
mayst boldly say, ! am now one with
Christ, that is to say, Christ's right
eousness, victory and life are mine.
And again, Christ may say, am that
sinner; that is, His sins and His death
are mine, because He is united and
Joined unto me and unto Him." Paul
puts the whole matter succinctly when
he says: Him who knew no sin he
(God) made to be sin on our behalf;
that we might become the righteous
ness of God in Him." (II Cor. 5:2D.
Men Would Earn Salvation.
1t seems very difficult to human ma
lure to accept Gods righteousness by
simple faith. We are prone to desire
to give something, to do something, to
go somewhere in order to merit saliva
ton. 1t is a blow to pride to humbly
receive the gift of righteousness by
faith. Much meaning is wrapped up
in Paul's statement: II count all
things but loss for the excellency of
the knowledge Of Christ Jesus my
Lord, for whom have suffered the
loss of all things, and do count them
but dung that / may win Christ" AS
one has said: sHis own family prob
ably regarded him as a disgrace to
Judaism. His Pharisaic confreres
considered him deserter from the
cause The Jews in general treated
him as a renegade and a turn-coat."
But to gain Christ and be found IL
Him was a sufficient compensation,
yea, more than a sufficient compensa-
tion, for it all. IA
Faith Gives Security.
When Paul speaks of being found
in Christ, he seems to have in mind
both the present and the future. Even
the light of the great day of days will
not abash those who have put their
trust in Christ and are found in
Him."
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus blood and righteousness;
1 dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus name.
When He shall come with trumpet sounds
o may 1 then in Him be found;
Drest in His Righteousness alone
Faultless to stand before the throne.

CHIEF FORESTER
THANKS BOY SCOUTS

Col, W. B. Greeley, forester of the
U. S. Forest Service, has written an
open letter to the Boy Scouts of the
United States in appreciation of Their
splendid cooperation in Forest Pro
lection Week on May 1928. The
Scouts of Oregon and Washington, To-
cal forest officers say, have given fine
cooperation in the Northwest in the
campaign against forest fires. The
Forester's letter is addressed to
Scoutmasters, and Boy Scouts of
America, and reads:
~ am compelled to take this means
of acknowledgment to the thousands
of you whose fine cooperation in the
furtherance of Forest Protection
Week played so important part IN
the nation wide observance of this
movement. Although it is not phys-
cally possible to answer with a per
sonaI letter all the communications
regarding this matter which the For
est Service has received, my appre-
citation of what you have done as in
divlduals is none the less keen
This is not the first time that the
Boy Scouts of America have been
called upon to render service for the
Government, and your efforts in this
public spirited movement to preserve
our forests from needless destruction
have been in keeping with other note
worthy achievements of your admir-
able organization. 1t is pleasure to
feel that the Boy Scouts stand as a
unit for fire presentation and refores
tation. But it is also more than a
pleasure-lt is an assurance of an in
valuable aid in a work of the utmost
public Importance
Forest fires are terrible menace
to the prosperity of our Nation, and
of our very homes. Your whole
hearted help in stamping out this evil
is. therefore, needed not only during
the brief period of Forest Protection
Week, but throughout the year. When
you are in the forests on hike or
picnic this summer, remember that a
Good Woodsman is always careful to
put out his fire and to see that his
match is dead before throwing it
away.
"4ou are taught to be careful with
fire, but many of our citizens have
not yet learned this lesson. Eighty
per cent of the forest fires in the
United States are caused by human
agencies, and are, therefore, prevent
able. Carry the word to all you can
