tor Russell, of

cle, N. Y., preached
twice bere toduy to
attentive audi
ences. We report
one of the dis
counts, which was
f i7hft$WtiiTCn preached from the
words or tuo Apos
tle. "Cbrht brought life and Immor
tality to light through (he tioapel."
The speaker said:
All around us we boo what the Scrip
tures dcslgnato a reign of sin and
death. The various forum of life lu
tature the trass, the flowers, the low
er animals and man exist for a brief
summer time of life, then wither and
flle. This does uol strike us us
trance, except In conjunction with
bumunlty, and that becnuso of man's
greater Intelligence his appreciation
f the value of life, his growth In
knowledge and his nblllty to uso life's
Opportunities with bis increased wis
dom.
The disposition to Khun death Is
not peculiar to man; It Is the law
ot oat inc. '1 ho mnnllost creature, by
Instinct. Ilees from death. The law of
elf preservation Is properly Raid to bo
the tlrst law of nature. The lower ani
mals, like man, have sensation, an at
t.reclatlon of pain; but nil these things
are much moro pronounced lu Immuni
ty t tin a In tho lower nnliuals; and the
lower the form of life tho more alight
are these sensations. We aro not de
fending vivisection, but we quite agree
with scientists that the pain, tho suf
fering of the lower animals, Is as noth
ing lu comparison with that of hu
manity. We even note the fact that
the more re lined a human being, the
more intense his Buffering. Corre
spondingly, refinement and intelligence
bring fear of death and desire for
life everlasting.
All inunklnd seem, instinctively, to
Lope for a futuro life, even though with
the majority the hopo Is accompanied
with dread respecting its conditions
However, ouly the lilble reveals a ra
tlonul basis for faith respecting a fu
ture life a survival of the general
death conditions everywhere prevalent.
The hen then hope for a futuro life, but
none of them furnish a logical basis
for such expectations. Only In the
P.lblo can this be found.
The heathen hope Is represented by
their great philosophers. Socrates and
Plato. Their hope Is. In brief, that. In
tlew of man's great superiority over the
beast, it must bo he will have a future
even though to all appearances death
means the same to the human as to the
brute. Tho Rlble explains that man was
Indeed created In Ills Maker's Image ti ml
likeness and granted tho privilege of
eternal life on condition of obedience,
but that he disobeyed and therefore
teeame subject to death; and that
death, the penalty, effects him exactly
as It docs the brute creation. P.ut the
iMblo does not leavo the subject here.
It tells of (iod's pity and love, and of
Ills provision to rescue mankind from
In and from death.
God Meatt Man's Emergency.
Blnce the 1)1 vino sentence Is that
only the perfect may live, Adam and
bis race, as Imperfect sinners, could
not have eternal life after a violation
tf the Divine Law; but to meet this
emergency, IHvtno Love provided a
Redeemer, who died, "the Just for the
tinjust"; "As by nian eamo death, by
Man also comes the resurrection of
the dead; for as all lu Adam die. even
o all In Christ ahull bo mado alive;
very man In his own order" (1 Corln
"thlans i, 'il'SM.
Thus God has manifested Ills char
acter In a way and to a degree which
could never have been known to an
gels or to men hud He not permitted
In to enter the world. Ills Justice
baa been manifested In the Infliction
f the death penalty upou our race for
li thousand years. Dlvtue I-ove has
been maulfested In the arrangement
made by which the Ouly Begotten Son
of Uod. on the heavenly plane, counted
It Joy to leave Ills glory and honor
and be made flesh and die for our sins
Before the Divine Plan shall be fully
consummated, liod's Wisdom and
Power will also atand fully revealed
through Ilia dealing with sin and singers.
Through the merit of Christ's death.
Adam's transgression will bo fully off
et, and the penalty of Adam's sin
will be fully paid to Justice; and Adam
blmself and all of his posterity, who
bare shared his penalty, will be set
free from the sighing and crying, the
tialn and trouble, mental, moral and
physical, lu Mental to (he execution of
the death sentence against sinners.
Thus, through the death of Jesus, Dl
vine provision has been made for
future eternal life for niaukltnl-for
o many as will appreciate the prlv
liege and conform themselves to the
Divine laws and avail themselves of
the privileges which will be granted.

now natural It Is for us to be Ira
measuring our knowledge and experi
ence, leave us little appreciation of the
span of Eternity, from the Divine
standpoint We are inclined to say.
If God designs to do uuythlng for
man's aid, why does he not do It Im
mediately? We cry out. O Lord, haste!
baste! I'.ehold Adam's children, men
tally, morally, physlcully. lu a deplora
ble condition, unable to help them
selves, dependent upon Thy mercy.
Thy salvation! Like sheep we are
laid In the grave; like tbe brute beast
we seem to perish; we have only a
promise of a salvation from death
through the Retlocmer, and a resur
rection from the condition of death.

has allowed nearly two thousand years
since to elapse without recovering
mankind from sin and denth condi

It is but natural that we should In

Ths New Craation Divino,
We have already mentioned tho glo
rlous exaltation purposed of God for
the New Creation. St Peter tells us
that these will attain tho divino ua
ture; and this attainment will bo
through, or by menus of. the power of
God working In the heart as the result
of faith lu "the exceeding great and
imxloiis nroiiilses" (II Peter I. 4)
These will not be coerced Into obedl
puce theirs will be voluntary siilunls
hlon to the Divine will. The test upon
them will be loyally and faithfulness
to God to the very limit to tho ex
treme of self-denial, and voluntary
humiliation In the service of right
eousness, following In the footsteps of
Jesus.
Indeed. Jesus Is the first and the
Head of this New Creation. None
could attain It except by and through
Ills aid. He is the Captain of their
salvation, lie Is their Forerunner In
this great "race" to which, with lllin.

Tho Apostle writes concerning tho

choseu and faithful ones. He tells us
that by perseverance In well dolus we
are to attain glory, honor and iminor

faithful, will come In tho Urst Kesur

upon with Immortality; when the new
body, glorious and of the divine nature,
will bo grauted to each of tho faithful.
as instead or tuo uesmy nnu imoir
feet bodies of the present trial time,
In other words, our trial Is not to dem
onstrate the perfection or Imperfection
of our flesh, for this Is already known
to God and to us. and to all. "lu my
flesh dwelloth no perfection." The
trial Is to demonstrate tho loyalty of
tho will and of the heart It Is faith
fulness In conquering the will of the
flesh and bringing Into subjection to
the will of God all the powers of the
natural body, so far as possible. It Is
the test of its loyalty to principle, to
righteousness, to God.
St Paul, as oue of these loyal ones,
declared before his death. "I have
fought a good light, 1 have Mulshed my
course, 1 havo kept tbe faith; hence
forth there Is laid up for me a crown
of righteousness, which the Lord, the
righteous Judge, will give me at that
dav. and not to me only, but to all
those also who love His appearing."
This Includes all who are hungering
and thirsting and striving for that
righteousness which Messiah's King
dotu Is to bring to the Church through
the First Itesurrectlon. Righteousness
will eventually he brought to the world
through the establishment of the Mes
slanlc Kingdom, which will put down
all things contrary to tho Divine will,
and uplift every person and principle
loyal to God.
The Immortality for which the Apos
tie declares tbe Church is to seek Is of
a different kind entirely from that
which the world mty expect It Is a
different kind even from that which
the angels possess. It Is the I minor
tality which Is a feature or qunllty of
the divine nature. This Immortality,
tbe Scriptures assure ns. was original-
of God." P.y and by. lit the First Ites
urrectlon, when the elect "overcomers"
shall enter upon this so mo piano of
Immortality, the opportunity to become
of this nature will he closed, so far as
the Scriptures declare.
The Immortality enjoyed by the an
gels, otherwise spoken of In t lie Scrip
tures as everlasting life, is not Inher
ent Immortality, but an eternal main
tenance In life by the Creator, subject
to the condition of obedience and right
eousness.
In this same senso of the word Adam
was immortal, but his immortality was
dependent upon his obedience. When
he disobeyed, Divine- provision for his
sustenance was wlthdrnwu. He was
expelled from-Eden that tho sentence
of death might take effect, "dying thou
shalt die." Similarly. Satan and otb
ers of the angels, because of disobedi
ence, w 111 be destroyed, hence their Im
mortality was conditional, ns was that
of humanity.
The redemption to bo accomplished
by the Redeemer during Ills reign ns
Messiah is to reinstate all tbe willing
and obedient In hutnnn perfection and
Divine fuvor. as these were enjoyed
by Adam before his transgression. All
tho wilfully wicked, all not desirous of
returning to fellowship with God
through the Redeemer, will be destroy
ed In the Second Death. The test will
bo so thorough, so crucial, that God
declares that there shall bo no more
crying, uo more dying; which Implies
that there will he no more sin thnt
the lessons connected with human and
angelic transgression will be so thor
oughly learned that tbnso found worthy
of eternal lire will have their charac
ters eternally fixed In respect to right
eousness nnd sin, as God's character
Is fixed and unchangonble.

turnlly called, not immurtalHy, but
everlasting II fo.
Thus the Scriptures explain the two
fold work of Christ: (1) The work for
the world, In providing for nil the will
ing and obedient of mankind, ever-
Instlng life; ('Ji the work for the
Church. In making possible for tho will
ing nud obedient of the liriilo class,
glory, honor nud Immortnllty, the di
vine nature. The Scriptural expres
sion Is that "Christ brought llfo nnd
Immortality to light through tho Gos

life was Intimated in the remote past,
but uot speclllcally stated. Tho dec
laration that "the Seed of the woman"
should "brulso tho Serpent's head" Im
plied a recovery from sin and death,
a victory over the Adversary, a release
of mankind from the death penalty.
Hut It was not spcvlflc. Tho promise
of Cod to Abraham, that In his Seed
all the families of the enrth should be
blessed, contained an Intimation of a
Divine provision for the restoration of
humanity from death and the present
fallen condition, a restitution to eter

Chief of Poliee Rainey last

about Hi or 17 years old lyinjr in

fellow is a Mexican, lie gave his
name as Philip (leusan.
The city physician, Dr. Martin,
was summoned, and from his
symptoms, which the ollleer fear
ed was smallpox, diagnosed the
ease as that of lung fever. The
youth was given a bed at the bum
shanty last night, but this morn

Yesterday while Mr. Z. S. Vos-

with an accident which required
Ihe services of a surgeon to re
lieve liiin. The accident occurred
while Mr. Vosberg was baiting his
hook for anollicr trial at angling,
when in some way be allowed the
hook lo slip and the sharp point '
imbeded the hook in the second!
finger of his right hand in such a
manner that Mr. Voslnirg could
not. remove it.
lie got out his knife and al first
thought he would cut it out him
self, bill the more he examined
Ihe manner in which the brad on
the hook was clinging to the quick
of the linger nail, the more he
was convinced that his pocket
knife, was not the proper instru
ment to perform the operation.
He accordingly cut the line which
attached the hook to the pole and
came lo town and called on a
doctor, who removed the hook in
a few moments.
Mr. Vosburg slated that Ihe
doctor laughed when he saw the
predicament Mr. Vosburg was in,
and, in fact, he had to laugh him
self when he thought of a man of
his age doing a trick like that.
The injury was dressed, but the
finger will be out of commission
for a few days.
