With apologies to the Lisbon (Ohio) Business Men's associa tion, the following: creed is sub mitted witli the exhortation that it be embraced by every true citi zen m this city. It will silence the knocker, convert the faith less, reclaim the backslider, pro viding the preaching is put into practice. We believe in l'lalls mouth, in its historic past, its fortunate present, its significant future,, and in the homes and churches and schools which are its title to endure. We believe in neighborliness, in the tongue that commands, in the ear that is deaf to slander and in the hand that helps. We believe in the square deal in all business, big or little, and pledge oursves to make and keep it a fact of Platls mouth. We believe in paved streets and permanent sidewalks and the useful magnificence of roads and bridges. We believe that Hie groves were Sod's first temple and that shade trees are man's best firends. We believe in back lots whose serried array of corn and potatoes and beans shall put even the ordered charm of front lawns to shame.

It simply declared that this country would consider it an unfriendly act for any Kuropeau government to undertake to bring under its jurisdiction any part of these two American continents not then occupied by it. That this government was to maintain order and collect the debts of in vestors in any one of the repub lics was not even intimated in the proclamation of President Mon roe, and the efforts of republican administrations to graft such things onto the dectrine have al ways been resented by the great Iliads of the American people. To make Uncle Sam a police officer to maintain order and collect d.bts would be to degrade Ibis government below the standing of any first-class government in the world, and the American peo ple, except Hie few who would benefit by Mich a policy, feel the indignity of such a proposition." :o : There is money in Martyrdom, if it inT the fatal sort.

There is quite a lot being said of late in regard to the high cost of living. One of the leading Chi cago dailies is devoting' over a I column wrileup daily under the caption of "Who Gets the Money?" Not a word is said, however, as to what he does with the monev after he cets it. We will admit that the cost of living is more now than it was forty or fifty years, ago. It's worth more, too. It's worth more to live now than it was then. About the time that some of our old merchants were starting their first general .

And every body seemed to have enough to satisfy their hunger and to get along all right. The entire list of arncies in an up-to-uaic grocery today is almost unlimited. Some grocers carry as high as twenty- five different brands of coffee alone. Then there is the fruits, jellies, jams, pickles and all such in glass that takes up a large part of the grocery, and large quantities are sold. All these used to be put up by the house- wife and were never bought from , . , ....I the store.

On earth these things are so familiar that many as- sume that they always have been and always will bo. And yet without a question we all acknowledge that the same God who made such a splendid provision for the angels is the God of humanity, our Maker. Why should He have done so differently with two creations of His own familj- His own creatures. His own children? The Bible explains that the reason ror tne amerence between ooa s treat- ment of mankind and His treatment or tne angels is that the Human family became sinners, depraved, alienated. through the disobedience of i ather Auam; that the entire race of Adam is mentally, morally and physically impaired; and that these impairments are all Incidental to the curse, or pen- aity of sin; namely. "Dying, thou shall die." Genesis 2:17 margin Satan the Murderer. Jesus declares that Satan is wholly responsible for the death of our race He was the murderer of our first par ents, and by the laws of heredity we all lost our lives through his terrible deception. Satan persuaded Mother Eve that God. who cannot lie, had lied to her; that the declaration. "Dy ing, thou shalt die," is nn untruth; that man could not die; that he had some inherent life that even God Himself could not Interfere with. He persnad ed her that God had n selfish motive In making the death threat, in tellin the lie; that God wished to keep her self and Adam in ignorance; but that. by obeying himself, they would become like God Man's sentence was carried out. Our first parents were driven from Eden, that they might no longer have access to its life-sustaining fruits, that they might come under the penalty. "Dying. thou shalt die." There never was a sentence. Thou shalt live in eternal torment and be tortured by devils. AH such misrepresentations are slan ders of the Divine character, purpose and plan, intended to dishonor God and turn mankind away from Him. Jesuc the Life-Giver. Before considering the murderer and his fate, let us glance at the murdered race, which now has numbered npprox imatcly twenty thousand millions of souls. They are all dead or dying There is no hope for them except in God. Has God a gracious provision, and if so, what Is it? The Bible assures us that God is very compassionate, and that He so loved the world as not to wish them to perish like the natural brute beast He therefore gave His Son, that all ex ercising obedient faith in Him might be saved from perishing and might at tain everlasting life. Y e must not overlook the fact that, as we were not PASTOR. gUSSELDJ sen tcDced to eternal torment neither Hon he was worthy of the sentence of Head.

The word Savior signifies Life-giver. Father Adam, having fallen into sin, failed to give his race life-perfection. We were all bom a dying race. The thing we need is the thing which we lost life, everlasting life. And this is what God has provided for the race. He purposes that "all who are lu their graves shall hear the voice of the Son of Man and come forth." The salva tion which God has promised is a res urrection a raising up from death to fife to give beauty for ashes perfee- manlty, and lead to the anthem, "Glo tion for Imperfection. ry to God lu the Highest, and on earth Thus It 13 written, "As by a man came death, by a man also comes the resurrection of the dead.

For all these six thousand years Sa- tan has maintained his attitude of en- mlty toward God and antagonism to- ward all the Divine arrangements, laws and regulations. God. all-power- ful, could have restrained Satan at any moment if lie chose. The fact that He has allowed lilni to remain anJ to practise to some extent his evn work assures us that the results wm fullv Justify the course pursued by ine Almighty. I jn the sicht of the holy angels, the I vicious, scheming, plotting, deceiving. I lying, murderous spirit of Satan bas I been fully manifest; and by and by the whole world of mankind, now subject to his deceptions, will be fully recov- ered and fully informed respecting them. God undoubtedly sees that the permitting of sin to take its course will eventually bring to the world, to angels, and to the Church, a wider knowledge of good and evil, of right and wrong, than could have been com- municattHl to them in any other way. Satan, evidently always hopeful that he might outwit the Almighty and ac- coiuplisu his purpose, has especially labored during the past nineteen con- turles. When he could not seduce the gmit Redeemer to disloyalty to God, he sought to put Him to Ignominious death, only to find that in this he had fulfilled tho Scriptures. I-nter. in per- secuting tho Church and in bringing In damnable heresies, through sedueing spirits inculoatlns doctrines of demons, Sit tan has sought to tufn the hearts of all nsrainst tlu Heavenly Father, and to mislead them In respect to the Dl- vino character and Flan. The Kingdom and It Work. God's great Flan will soon have ma tured. Soon the Church will bo com pleted. Then Christ will receive her to Himself as His Bride and Joint-heir In Ills Kingdom. Then the work of that Kingdom, the rescue of the world, God and to trust absolutely in the Dl will begin. Mankind must first bo res- vine supervision of their affairs, and cued from error, superstition, dark- ness, ignorance of God. brought on them by Satan. He shall see the wreck of all his deep-laid schemes, but he will be imwerless to any further deceive humanity and misrepresent tne Crentor. Ono of tho flrst act3 of Mos. slah in Ills Kingdom will be to May hold on that old Serpent, the Devil. and biud him a thousand years, that he may deceive- the nations no more. Revelation 20:1-5. Sin's Wage Is Death. Our great Creator has one Law for His Empire: "The wages of sin is death; the gift of God is eternal life." Satan was given this gift; but it was conditional dependent upon his obodl- j euce. From the moment of hhi rebel- course, uwur.v mm n'uiu... -1 Satan's spirit of opposition to God and to righteousness. Even the terrl- bio disaster of sickness, sorrow- and . death which he has brought upon man- "nd rvcd m his evil course. Even the death of the Savior for the redemption of the race moved him not to sympathy and pity. His heart seems to have become the more hardened in proportion as ho has seen manifestations of Diviue love and pity, This is an illustration of the general trend of sin to hardness of heart - A certain time has been fixed In the! Divine Program for the execution of this great murderer. He must first witness the undoing of all his work, He must behold how the light of the know ledge of the glory of God will sweep away all the delusions which he j has fostered, and will emancipate hu- peace, cood will toward men."

The Bible answer Is that God de- fires to prove, to test, all of the lm- man family. They will have had a knowledge of sin, a knowledge of God's goodness, a knowledge of hurc.-ui recover' from sin and death. But the question which God would decide with them Is, Have they so learned the k-s- son of the sinfulness of sin and the bitterness of its results that they would 1 hate sin and love righteousness that they would be obedient to God, trust- jlnS mm wiiere tiiey could trace Illm jand where they could not? Any who after all tne experiences they will have nncsml i passed through would not be absolute- ly loyal to the Lord to the very core in word, in deed and in thought, would not be dependable would not be worthy of eternal life, which God pur poses only for those who have demon- strated fully established characters in harmony with the Creator's.
