Salvation Comprehensive.

Salvation Is big word, and com
prehends the whole process Of Gods
remedial work, past. present and flu
ture. II includes the resurrection of
Christ Us the iirStfruits and the res
direction of believers in Christ as the
harvest. The firstfruits is the pattern
and pledge of the coming harvest. In
the Mosaic law the Hebrew people
were directed to bring Shea of the
field, like other sheaves that were to
be gathered later, and TO wave Il be-
fore the Lord as the first sheaf of the
harvest. So Is Christ presented as
the firstfruits of the glorious and
plentcOus harvest To come-"Because
| live. We shall live also" There is
spiritual power in this. What is true
of orr Lord is true of every believer
in Him. Everything is made depend
ent on the believers position rs united
To Christ. This underlies the whole
philosophy Of the Gospel message. in
which We are invited to change our
position from headship in Adam 10
headship in Christ, who through His
at0nement for sin and His victory over
death and the grave. has become Sa-
vior to all who put their trust in
Him.
The doctrine of our identity with
Christ and our participation In His
risen life and victory supplies moral
Incentive for holy walk. and for
sacrificial service This very truth
of the bodily resurrection of Christ
and of the resurrection of Christian
believers when He returns. is the
ground Of the appeal in Cor. IS IS
therefore be We steadfasi. unmov-
able. always Astounding in the work
of the Lord. forasmuch as We know
that your labor Is not in vain in the
Lord"
The Apostle John used the same ba.
sis of appeal and finds moral incentive
in the same facts-"Beloved. now are
we the sons of God, and IL doth not
yet appear what we shall be. but we
know that when He shall appear we
shall be like Him, for we shall see Him
as He Is. And every man that hath
this hope in him purifieth himself even
as He is pure

 But the sexton kept at his work of loug enough to reply to MT. Humin- ton: "tfe must be dead because he told me yesterday that if he was alive at noon today he would pay my bill here. and he hasn't paid my bill, therefore he must be dead."
 Tommy Comes Across
 This explanation delighted the crowd, and some of them ran down to the bridge and related to Tommy what John had said. They told the toll man that the bell would continue to ring his age till he paid his bill. This was good argument and Tommy re- sponded. At half-past 2 he arrived at the church with the funds with which to liquidate his indebtedness John received the money without a smile. but with the same funeral eX- pression that he maintained during the burial of the dead.
 This episode had a great impression on the community John Conklin neer afterwards had any difficulty in collecting his bills for funeral ex- penses. It started the fashion in Bridgeport for the alacrity with which funeral expenses are paid.
 This story may seem somewhat pe- culiar but it was told over and over with great gusto to the writer by his paternal grandfather. Captain Daniel sterling, who was mayor of Bridgeport in 1887, and who died in 1852.

CHAPTER XIV

The Killer had had an unsuccessful
night. He had waited the long hours
through at the mouth of the trail, but
only the Little PeOple-such as the
rabbits and similar folk that hardly
constituted a single bite in his great
jaws-had come his way. Now it was
morning and it looked as if he would
have to go hungry. He started to
stretch his great muscles, intending to
leave his ambush. But all at rGnce
he frOze again into a lifeleSs gray
patch in the thickets. There were
light steps on the trail. Again they
were the steps of deer-but not of the
great, wary elk this time. Instead it
was just a fawn, or a yearling doe at
least, such u creature as had not yet
learned to suspect every turn in the
trail. The forest gods had been good
TO him. after all.
He peered through the thickets, and
in a moment more he had a glimpse of
the spotted skin. II was almost too
easy. But even as the Killer watched,
the prize was simply taken out of his
mouth. A gray VOLTA savage old
male that also had just finished an
unsuccessful hunt-had been stealing
through the sthickets in search of a
lair. and he came out on the trail not
fifty feet distant, halfway between the
bear and the fawn. The one was al
most as surprised as the other. The
fawn turned with a frightened bleat
and darted away; the wolf swung into
pursuit.
The bear lunged forward with a
howl of rage He leaped into the trail
mouth, then ran as fast as he could
in pursuit Of the running wolf. He
was too enraged to stop to think that
a grizzly bear has never yet been able
to overtake a wolf, once the trim legs
got well into action. At first he
couldn't think about anything; he had
been cheated too many times. His
first impulse was one of tremendous
and overpOwering wrath-a fury Shat
meant death to the first living crea-
ture that he met.
But in a single second he realized
that this wild chase was fairly good
tactics, after all The chances for a
meal were still rather good The
fawn and the wolf were in the open
now, and it was wholly evident that
the gray hunter would overtake the
quarry in another moment. If was
true that the Killer would miss the
pleasure of staying his own game
the ecstatic blow to the shoulder and
the bite to the throat that followed it.
In this case, the wolf would do that
part of the work for him. 1t was Just
simple matter Of driving the crea-
ture away from his dead.
But at that instant fate took a hand
in t'e .acgFy littie chase To the
fawn II was nothing but a sharp elang
OF E.e,al behind hiIn and an answering.
