footsteps, after obtaining an education.
He came to America, and, as it result
of a four years' course In u Methodist
College In Ohio, found himself an ag

abandoned missionary Intentions.

Two days ago. on the Island of Cey
Jon. my attention was drawn to the
tomb of the good Bishop llcltcr. I in
mediately to my iiilud came the words
of his well-known hymn,
"Wlint though the Hplcy bi'oriws

Ami every iinnnet elrlim'S,
Ami only Inun In vile!"
From childhood I had sung those
words, nnd dually found myself on
Ceylon's Isle. But, my dear hearers

I believe, therefore, that I cannot do
better than to relate to you the "Old.
Old Story," of the love of Cod mani
fested In Christ, the Redeemer. My
text tells that Old Story In precious
words of life, which bad well-nigh

since; for many of you may Ih sur

of people in Christian lands have very
Blight conception of the love of (od.
Indeed. I am sorry that It Is true, but
tho faith of many Christians, as ex
pressed In their creeds. Is more terri

I am glad to tell you. however, that

Now Look at Our Text.
Note In our text the terms of
a blessing Intended of God for ev-
ery crenture. Two thousand years be- i
fore the angels uttered those words
God gave the same Message of hope
and Joy to Father Abraham. Let those
of this audience who are Mohamme
dans, ns well as others, call to mind
the promise to which 1 refer. It was
the promise with the oath. God. fore-
knowing thnt tho fulfilment of the
promise would be long delayed, made
oath to It. so that all who trust In
Him might have the consolation of
that promise. And what Is the prom- j
Ise? Owl said to Abraham. "In thee .
and lu thy seed shall all the families
of the earth be blessed."
Abraham was twice glad! He re
joiced that the curse that had rested
upon the race would ultimately be
lifted; secondly, he , rejoiced that the
blessing of the Almighty. would reach
mankind through bis posterity. Nel I
tlier Ishnmel nor Isaac was the prom- I
Iseil seed-neither blessed the world.;
Neither Jacob nor Kami was the prom-
Ised Seed of Abraham to bless the
world, for neither of them did the ,
work. Neither did the tuition of Israel
succeed lu blessing the world; nor did I
they attain eternal life for themselves. ,
The Divine Purpose looked down to
Messiah and snw lu Iliin the real Seed
of Abraham through whom eventually
Divine Power w'll be exercised and Di
vine Grace be shed abroad among men. i
According to the Scriptures, the Mes
rIu ti. the Deliverer. Is composite com- I
posed of numerous members. Each
one of these members must be tested
and proven In respect to his loyalty to
God and to the principles of righteous-1
ness ,,,,fore .hp. ?u "i:n,n. 'l'9 ,?!:

aecord:ng to which they may make
their "culling and their election sure."
They must be so loyal to God and to
the principles of His righteousness
that they will gladly aacrillce every
earthly Interest, yen, life itself. It w 111
be readily seen that there are not very
many of such deep devotion as this. In
the whole world. However, God. vho
knows the end from the beginning, de
clares that His purposes shall not fail.
which means that He will succeed In

destinated number of the proper faith

Restrictions at First Only.
The primary restrictions were that
this glorious opportunity to become
members of the Messiah, "the Seetl of
Abraham" for the blessing of the
world. miiKt be llrst offered to (he nut-
tiral Heed of Abraham, duly after the
worthy of these had been pithd'cd
could thiH (rival privilege lie extended
toothers. Itut mark you well - the se-
lection of this special class does not
Involve the "non-elect" In eternal tor
ment, uor In nny disaster. On the con
trary, the (rntlicrlnir of tile "elect"
should be rcun riled as mi assurance on
God'a part of the fulfilment of Ills
lur(r-r promise, that through these
Ridntly ones, the Messianic Hody. (rreat
blesslinrs tire to lie showered upon
Abraham's natural need; yea, und upon
nil the families of the earth.

1(H.ni).,i wltb ,, nfe f , ther-tbat
"us by a man came death, by a man
also should come the -resurrection of

Bible Is of human degradation and
death, of redemption und of n coining
time of up Iftlng from sin and death
conditions to perfection and life. This
offer will lie as world-wide as was the
condemnation which came upon our
race through Adam. For six thousand
years our race has lieen living under
a reign of sin and death, hut the Sev
enth Thousand will be the great Sab
bath typified by Israel's Jubilee Yeir.
in which all debtors went free and
every man returned to his firmer es
tafe. The glorious possibilities of that
thousand years are variously preenl-

Why. then, does the Messianic work
de'ny? Why ('id .lesus not immediate
ly begin the work of restitution? The
Hlble answers the question most clear
It. It assures us that before thnt work
can berln there must be select ed from
1 amongst men. by n -pedal call and by
apeciol tests, a saintly class, a "Httl
, flock." to whom It is the Father a goot

w.fn His o.y Son. the P.e-
, . 1

1 nil of this class to finish their course
with Jov nnd then, by the First ttesur
rectlon. to pass beyond the roll to be
1 forever with their Iord as spirit be
! ings-pnrtiikers of the divine nature,

I Then the spiritual Seed of Abrnhmn
will be complete, and then It will be
' gin its work of blesslnu. first the nat
ural seed of Abraham, nnd. subse
iquently. nil the families of the earth.
j If at first we. were Inclined to feel Ini

Peed of Abraham, "like unto the stars

GRAND ISUU CASE IS I)?.
Road's Affairs Aired Before Federal
Court Physical Valuation Hearing
Resumed Supreme Court Recon
venes New Lxecutive Order,
Lincoln, Feb. 5. The railroads will
be conspicuous ln Lincoln tnia week.
Iu the feiieial court, beginning touuy,
wili be the hearing oi tne lnjuncuou
brojgnt by the minority BtocKho.dets
to prevent the Union Pacific irom
fcpending nay of the assets ot the ot.
Joseph and Grand Isiat.d road. Sam
uel Untermeyer of New ork, one of
tne country's most nottd lawyers, will
appear in this case as attorney for tue
minority stockholders, the Union Pa
cific itself being the majority owner.
The case is expected to be hotly con
tested and the result may have an im
portant bearing on the future of the
Granci Island road. ,
Another railroad case of more than
passing importance is the Wayne
depot litiatii n. The railway coinniis
Flon ordered the Omaha road to erect
a new deyot at Wayne and the com
pany took tlio case Into the federal
court. Th'j first dash will come over
a motion to remand the case to the
state eo'.irt. The Ktlgatlrn 1.3 import
ant as being looked upon as a preie
dent, both as to the rlnht. of the fed
eral court to hear the case and also
in its hearing on the rlfiht ol' Uie com
mission to co'iipd tho company to
erect the depot. Eoth of these points
are likely to he watch(d by many
towns in Nebraska, and particularly
Albion, which has appealed to the
commission dur'ng the last week to
compel the North western and Union
I-acilio roads to build a union depot at
that place.
Valuation Hearing.
The physical valuation of the Union
Pacific is also set for hearing, begin
ning today, before the railway commis
sion. Owing to the company's attor
neys being engaged in the federal
court, actual hearings on the valuation
will not begin today, but the engineers
of the company and those. of the com
mission expect to get together nnd
seek to harmonize their exhibits so
that they can lie readily compared.
This work will keep them busy in all
probability until the attorneys are
ready to proceed with the hearing.
There iR w'de difference between the
htinvites of the company and of the
state engineers nn the va'uo of the
ompapj's property in Nebraska. The
company returns its property nt a
valuation of $117,71(1,190. while the
state engineers figure its reproduction
value at fSS,74 1.817. n difference of
$28.0f5.343.
