Yet wo can not think that many, nay not even it majority, of thorn who coiilrllniU'd this Finn huvo clone ho conscientious- ly.

How ever, It Is for those who pay tlio mou ey to exoivls, their own consolem es In this inn tt-.tr, nnil It Is none of our busi ness what they decide. Wo i.vinpiithlzo also with the hun dreds of 1'iiMtors of this city who havo Joined lu this movement, which they hope will lin reiise their conirrepatlons mid church revenues, but these Pas tors know In reality that the I'dhle does not teach eternal torment, and they lutvo discarded the llildn anyway lu favor of Higher Critical -Infidelity.

Wo sympathize still more with tlio poor people whose education along fcplrltunl llnei Is nlniost wholly neg lected, and who live In constant fear of the tiod who loves (hem and In dreadful misunderstanding of tlio I'd Me, which he has given them.

Ilr.t hIIII more we sympathize with fjod, whose name Is dishonored, whoso Justice, Mercy, Wisdom, I.ovo and Tower aro traduced, nay, vilified. Wo nay to ourself, llow wonderful tho patience of Hod, which for centuries has endured blasphemous misrepre sentations of his good character and Dlvlno Plan of tho Aces! Well does be tell us that as tho heavens are higher than the earth, so his plans and tucthods In respect to our salvation nro higher than ours not lower. Well does he tell us that human fear to M'Hrd hint Is taught by tho precepts of men. not according to Ids Word (Isa iah xxlx, 13). We can seo reason vhy the Lord has kept silence toward tho heathen, but wo nro perplexed that Judgment have so long delayed to come upon those who, knowing bet ter, sllll shunler the grout and holy liamo nnl misrepresent the Pdvlne pur poses. What would n chief shepherd do to rn undcr-shephcrd found misleading the sheep, guiding them Into poison nis pastures? Wo bellevo that he would take the sheep from them, even i hough he allowed them still to shep herd the goats. And It Is quite out thought that such a judgment Impend ivor Christendom and that all shep herds, false to their trust, will be dls missed Ignomlnlously, and that Very t"on! Foino urpe that we should do evil In order b obtain good results; that we should misrepresent tho Dlvlno horncter In order to get people to Join tho Church. Is It urged that some imiy, as a result of this evangelistic utowinont. lead n mora orderlv nnd -v decent life hereafter as discus, mil that we. should be willing to Join li traducing our Creat n In ordi r to oh tain this result? We Miv.vor. .o, a thousand limes. No! In our judfc'neiit the perversions of the TiutJi, the dis honoring of our Maker, the Insiililag of inlscouceptio'ji Into the minds of the people, Is n awful tint to pay, even If the resulis should be u hundred times as great m promised. Well did Jesus say, "Ye compass sea nnd land to make one proselyte nnd when he Is gained, you make him two-fv'd more a child of destruction than yourselves" (Matthew xxlil, l.li. The conversions achieved by misrepresentations of Iod Instil a poison Into the heart dlllicult to eradicate, Impervious to the Truih. It grieves mo to be obliged conscien tlotisly thus to t haracterize a move tne.it which has, at least, an outward appearance of godliness. It will lit tract to me the venom of those whose hypocrisies I criticize. It Is not the money that they will collect that grieves me, for those who give It hon estly, thinking thus to servo the Lord, will surely be blessed by hint. It Is tho hyimerlsy of the thing, the misrep resentation of their own belief and un belief end the slander against the holy name of the Creator and the further bamboozling and throwing of dust Into tho eyes of tho common poople-tliU awakens, and should awaken, right eous Indignation. And the more oth ers do not speak, the more I must speak In denunciation and In warning to the people to search the Scriptures nnd become undeceived. Henrkcn Now to Our Text. The tcachln;"! of nil of the creeds of the "Iar!; Ago-i"' which have come iin to us, although tiny contain many gcod tliin;'-:, lire so befo;.'gcd wiih misrepresentations of Mod as t be n slew li to our nostrils nnd a men ace to our spiillnnl health. They pic ture to in a (iod cilh'T P." !Jc.s.iu I care'e.s of the future interest:! of bi.i human creatures, or else us powerless to nld nny but the few. They picture to us millions golm; down to torture dorlm: the fi.ur thousand years be f.ii'o Jesus came Into the world to feck nnd to save that wlih li vi:s lo-.t. They picture to us that since his ctuniu:: only a handful, coiuparatlwly, of the human fatally have become his c!,s clplos, foobtop followers, "Meet for tho Inheritance of the saints I'l light." All' the others, according to our Prot estant creeds, Calvlnisllc and Arinlnl nn, have gone down to eternal torture. Prom this standpoint It Is that Dr. Chapman and Mr. Alexander ire. the heroes of the hour, saving n few more whom Cod would have otherwlso neg lected, or, as some might say, saving them lu spite of lilvlno foreordlnatlon to the contrary. Hut. what say tho Scriptures? Poes tho P.ible substantiate such theories? Nay, nay! In harmony with our text, the entire IiiMe reveals to us a (!od as Infinite In his Wisdom und Power as l.i his Justice und Love. Our text tells us that he Is mindful of Ills cren t tires- humanity. lie was mindful lu tho very beginning when he created it i it ti and foreknew Ids fall. Away buck (hero he foretold that "the Seed of the woman should ultimately bruise the Serpent's head." Away buck there be Indicated his Idvlne purpose, In due time, to redooiu man from destruc tion (not front eternal torment, for noiio were sentenced to torment). The skins which covered the miked tiess of our llrst parents cost the 11ts of animals, and thus Cod typically prophesied "better sacrifices" for the perfect covering of man's sin and shame. In Cod's dealings with tho na tion of Israel, he gave numerous types foreshadowing the later blessings, fol lowing "the belter sacrifices" of tho niitllypleal Atonement lhiy-blosslng all the families of the earth. Cod was mindful of nut it's Interests all that tlmo (for over forty-two cen turies), even though, during that long period, nothing was actually accom plished. Tho sal vat Ion was purposed, was planned, was assured, hut must be walled for until Cod's duo time. Reconciliation by "Bsttep S.icrific." When Jesus appeared tho world was still lu sin-oven the ono little nation of Israel was still tinder lilvlno con demnation because of sin-because their typical sncrllh es were Insufficient and merely foreshadows of "tho better saerltlcosi," which Cod whs mindful later to bring to pnss. Those "better sacrlllces'' nro tint yet completed, though nearly so, wo be lieve. They consist of "tho Man Christ Jesus who gavo himself n "Uansont for nil," and also of tho faithful few whom ho has itccepted as his disciples nnd who nro walking In his steps, "presenting their bodies living sacri fices, holy nnd acceptable to (Sod," through their Kedeemcr (lloin. xll, 11. Cod Is still mindful of humanity, llo has not forgotten his responsibili ties as a Creator. Tho theory that Cod shirks his responsibility and al lows tho ninety thousand who dlo dally ti drop Into eternal torment be cause of carelessness or Indlfferenco on our part Is not true Is not Scrip tural. Cod nlllrnis his own responsibility for every feature of his Plan, llo de clares, "My Word that Is gone forth out of my mouth shall not return unto mo void; It shall prosper In the thing whereto I sent It" (Isnlah lv, 11). Ilenco we should understand that Cod sent no message to convert tho world during tho llrst forty-one hundred and fifty years after Adam's creation, be cause ho did not will the world to bo converted them, lie had no message for tho world. Ills time had not come. St. Paul refers to this, saying, "Thi1 times of that Ignorance Cod winked nt" (took to) notice of). Hut now since tho death of Jesus, the Just for tho unjust, and the opening up of pos nihilities for n rut uro life through n resurrection, Cod communes nil men everywhere to repent. And nil who become disciples of Jesus nro prlv I'egcd to he cT.r,.id-)ri for Od, to ronvey to nil who have the hearing par a message of (Sod's uier'-y to bind up the broken hearml, to d s lare the acceptable year nnd the opening of the ,irisoii doors. Put the work In the present timo U restricted. Not all could pi ssibly be Messed now and the elc-t must have in car to hear and must be drawn of the rather" ami must wnlk In the Master's footsteps and thus be onie copies of Cod's dear Son. This Is th" only work thus far, and It Is n.it to the world, but to the few who have the hearing ear nnd who leave the world t become followers of Jesus. "Th High Calling In Christ." The Plble declares that now Cod Is sending forth it "high calling In Christ." Those, called during tills dis pel Age are called to walk in Jesus' footsteps ns saints, "presenting their bodies living sacrifices." suffering wl'h their Master and for his cause. Tho promise to all these Is that. If faith ful, they shall share with the great re deemer his Messlunle Throne which Is yet to bless the world. To this Hride class the Pcdecmer will be the Pride groom, Lord and Head. Sharing his sufferings they will share h!s exalta tion to the divine nature and Us glory, honor mid Immortality, And the-'o will participate in the glorious Messttnie work soon to begin.

We warn llieni that he will not hold guilt less those w ho take hht name In vai l Will not hold guiltless those who atro ciously malign his name. Tho Creat Revival Coming. As for methods for tho calling of the "elect" In this Age, we urge that neither we nor others are wise enough to Improve upon the methods and prac tices of Jesus and tlio Apostles. We urge that any doWallon from their Ci impel of "good tiding of great Joy for all people" must bo Injurious. We urge that wo of today should preach, ns St. Peter did at Pentecost, not only of the "high calling" of tho Church, but also of the world's bless!:' -"Times of ISeslllutloii of all things Which (Sod hath spoken by the mouth of nil the holy prophets since the world began" (Acts III, We urge that such a general presen tation of lilvlno Justice would appeal to all true hearts and heads In t ltr present time much better than any "expediency" preaching and prepare all mankind the better for the future ns well ns for the resent life. The great revival of religion will come to tlio world Immediately follow ing tho great tlmo of trouble with which this (Sospel Age Is shortly to end. Then, under the blessing of Mes siah's Empire, nil the Ignorance and superstition nnd misrepresentation of God and of his Plan will floe away be fore the presence of (lie Sun of Right eousness, which will Illuminate tho world. Then will come (Sod's tlmo for Mess ing the world. Ills Kingdom, estab lished In the world with power mid great glory, will rule It with n rod of Iron, compelling prompt obedience to the Phlne Law, both in letter and lit spirit. The obedient will be helped upward and will progress step by step to perfection, while the rebellious, after proper testing and provlncs, "will be destroyed front amongst tho people"-In the "Second Heath." Wliv should we not tell tho people plainly that there Is it special salva tion now In progress and that n com mon or general one will follow for tho non elect? Why not explain to them the great reward of the present time Joint heirship with Messiah In the Kingdom for which we pray, "Thy Kingdom come; thy will be dmio on earth ns In heaven?" why not ex plain to tho world that restitution Is the portion of all who do not choose to sacrifice, but that, necordlng to their present course, upward or downward, will bo their standing futurc-moro or less disapproved ami requiring more or less of chastisements or stripes, dlflleultles, for their extrica tion, for their uplifting. Much better could we understand the giving of money to tell mankind the Truth nnd to glorify tho mime of our Cod and our Kedeemer. Hut wo nro totally nt a loss to comprehend the attitude of those who give time and nionev for n little outward show and tho grievous Inward injury to t ho ninny through a misrepresentation of their Creator nnd bis word. To the out -of Chilli li millions whom 1 address through the newspapers tveeklv I suggest that the power of the Truth Is love, and that faithful ness to our Lord nnd to Ms Message In the Plble are the two greatest prlv lieges (hut could imsslbly come to any of us. mid that we should each nnd all unite hearts and voices In "show ing forth the praises of htm who has called ns out of darkness into his mar- vollous light." Thus we mny be help fill to other wanderers seeking "the Wnr. the Truth and the Life." "The Love of Ci d coustmlneth us." I 'Lit IT FHifflOy BED; Mrs. Catherine M.

Only From Day of Sentence. A special from Lincoln, under date of February 3, says: "The attorney general's office has held that a sher iff may collect for the board and bed of a prisoner only from the day of his sentence. Auditor Barton was pre sented with a claim from Douglas county for prisoner's subsistence from the time the prisoner pleaded guilty. The opinion of the attorney general shortens the time that a pris oner may be held a prisoner and charge the state for his keep to thirty days. Previously sheriffs have some times collected fat sums for keeping prisoners four, five or six months."
