(PASlOli Lit ited in Christ Jesus
v unto good works.
wtuch God hath before ordained that
we should walk In them." (Epb. 11. D.lu.i
Ever since Brother Luther's day aud
bis vigorous preaching of Justification
by faith Christian lclievers have been
more or less perplexed In their en
deavors to harmonize the Scriptural
declaration respecting faith and works
as related to salvation. I'astor Rus
sell believes that In the clearer light
God is shedding upon the pathway of
Ills people today through the Bible
they are enabled to comprehend with
absolute clearness matters once foggy.
This, he claimed, does not signify
that our forefathers were less loyal to
God. nor less logical in the operation
of their minds. It does, however, agree
with the Scriptural declaration that
we are living lu the time when the
wise of God's people are to understand
the Message previously more or less
hidden, but now, in due time, to be
revealed. Revelation x, 7.
The logical thought which appeals
most strongly to every mind is that
good works must be the basis of Divine
favor and bad works the basis of dis
favor. This led up to the child-summary
of preaching, namely, "Be good
and go to heaven; be bad and go to
." Our Catholic friends, said the
Pastor, carry the matter of good works
to such an extent that they claim that
some have laid up such surplus of good
works and Divine favor therefor that
they are able to appropriate some of
these to others; hence the claim that
they may be appealed to In prayer and
may give of their merit to others as a
bounty or donation..
The Scriptural proposition Is Bjaln:
It Is that no man la perfect, that all
through the fall are Impaired in mind
and body, so that none can do perfect
works. Their very best works would
be unacceptable to God Imperfect. In
stead of Ignoring their imperfections
God provided a Redeemer, whose obe
dience unto death lie accepts as a sac
rifice for the sins of Adam and his
race. Evidently all imperfections of
word or act resulting from that diso
bedience and fall will be completely
forgiven. The race will be reconciled
to God. Divine blessings will come to
humanity and the earth. Instead of the
curse now resting upon tbem. The ef
fect will be to give all mankind the
fullest opportunity for rising up out of
sin and degradation. Imperfection, sor
row, death, alienation from God, Ig-
norance. superstition, etc., back to the
full perfection that Father Adara pos
sessed at first.
But In order to regain all those bless
ings lost each member of the race will
be required to appreciate the privileges
of life eternal and Divine favor and
will be obliged also to show his ap
preciation by striving against sin and
co-operating with the Savior In the up
lifting arrangements which will pre
vail for a thousand years, during the
Messianic Kingdom
Present Age Salvation by Faith.
It Is in the present Age only that
salvation Is to be by faith and not by
works. True, the world In the next
Age will not be faithless while making
their progress In good works and being
Judged according to their works. They
will be full of faith, but there will be
abundant basis for faith. Knowledge
will make their pathway clear as day.
Demonstration will prove to them such
things as God's people In the present
lme must accept by faith "For we
walk by faith siid not by sight."
This Gospel Age. from the time of
Jesus' first advent until the second
advent. Is the Age of Faith In con
trast with the unsuccessful Age of
Works preceding and the to-be success
ful Age of works to follow. The Pas
tor showed that during the Law Age.
from Moses to Jesus, the requirement
was works: "lie that doeth these
things shall live by tbem." (Leviticus
xvlll, S; Romans x. 5.) Israel's failure
was because of Inability to do things
perfectly the things contained In the
Law given to tbem at Mt Slnnl.
The New Law Covenant which will
be Inaugurated by Messiah's Kingdom,
will be on exactly the same lines as the
old one, namely, works: "lie that do
etb these things shall live by them."
The difference will be that Christ nim
nelf will d the Mediator of the Ne-v
Low Covenant, both able and willing
to render all necessary assistance to alt
v. ho will come back lato harmony wish
the Father by Illm. Oq the other hand,
Moses, the mediator of the old Law
Covenant, while ever willlim to heln
his people, was not able to do so. bo-
cause his mediation was bused upon I
only typical sacrifices of bulls and!
;-unts and not upon tu veal sacrifice ,
of Christ which alone is able to make I
full satisfaction for sin. i
'W Walk by Faith and Not by Sight."
The Anostle was here discussing the
term? and conditions ly which God is
willing to accept the Church class of
this Gospel Age. These. lu the Scrip
tures, are culled the Elect or select
ones of the rac e. God Is calling and
drawing these out of the world for a
special purpose and under special con-'
ditioti. one of which Is that only such
us ly've grei'.t f-.ith can belong to the
S"-I?rt las.v
TLere r.ro some so born, under the
fallen conditions, that they have great
dit'iculty In experiencing faith, even a
little. ::nd only after a thorough train
ing could they exercise great faith, by
experiencing that transformation of
the mind of which St. Paul tells us.
(Romans xll. 2.i These are not
to bo blamed for having been born
under less favorable conditions than
some others. And so God has made pro
vision for all such to come to a knowl
edge of the Truth and not merely to a
faith in It. that they may be saved.
There are others more favorably
bom, so far as their mental make-up
Is concerned, who have been unfa
vorably born as respects environment
and place. Born in heathen lands,
where they heard nothing of the Mes
sage of God's grace, or where they
heard It under such unfavorable cir
cumstances that they could not appre
ciate it. these must Indeed lose the spe
cial favors of this Age, which go only
to those who do exercise faith; but
they are not forgotten nor left out of
the Divine Plan, but will share In thei
general blessings coining to the world
through the Redeemer's Kingdom.
"Work Out Your Salvation."
The favored class who hear the Mes
sage of Divine favor, speakiug peace
through the sacrifice of Christ, assur
ing them of tte Heavenly Father's
willingness to forgive their sins and
receive them as members of the Body
of Christ, are obliged to receive tills
Message by faith. What Is there to
prove that Jesus died and rose again?
This must be received by faith. What
is there to prove that the sacrifice
which Jesus made met with Divine ap
proval and that as a consequence all
that come unto the Father through
Him as their Advocate will be accepted?
There Is no proof except to the eye of
faith and ear or faith. To the natural
man these things are imagination, and
those who fully and completely trust
In tbem are accused of being rather
weak minded.
This step of consecration through the
merit of Jesus brings them into such
relationship with the Heavenly fa
ther that He Is willing to accept tbem
and give them the noly Spirit of
adoption into His Family. Up to this
point they have done nothing-mere-ly
believed - merely accepted God's
gifts, favors. Invitation, etc. Here our
text applies. "Not of works, lest any
man should boast"
Every Christian takes these same
steps of faith and consecration, or be
Is not a Christian. There are no other
steps to take. True, Indeed, as we ap
proached God we thought to put away
some of the filth of the flesh: but such
endeavor to wash and free ourselves
from sin cannot be counted good
works. A good work Is one that Is
done for God or for others. Merely
seeking to cleanse our thoughts nnd
words and deeds Is not good works In
the Scriptural sense but. anyway, none
has ever been able, to purge himself,
to ash himself, to cleanse himself.
Our own righteousness is as filthy
rags, in which God could not receive
us We can come to nim only under
the robe of Christ's righteousness, and
It Is given only as a reward of faith
and a consecration of the heart
But while there are no works up to
that point, after that point there will
be works, else we will never come off
conquerors, nor ever gain tbo great
prize which Jesus likens to a "pearl
of great price." We can do no works
to Justify ourselves, but, after being
Justified by faith, we are permitted to
do works. Yea. we are required to
work out our own salvation. Note the
difference, however. It Is the old
creature, the sinner, that was Justified.
When God accepted him a living sacri
fice through faith in Jesus he was be
gotten to a new nature and became a
New Creature In Christ Jesus a spirit
being, though without a spirit body.
This New Creature not only main
tains the faith which brought it Into
existence, but In it the faith must
work. It must grow by exercise
"grow In grace, knowledge and love,"
grow In all the fruits and graces of
the noly Spirit. Under a figure of be
getting and birth the Apostle repre
sents the rky Creature as a foetus
developing and getting ready for its
birth resurrection. Again, this New
Creature is referred to by the Apostle
sometimes as a babe, saying, "As new
born babes desire the sincere milk of
the Word, that ye may grow there
by." The milk of the Word repre
sents the simplest truths, the simplest
elements of Divine Instruction, the first
principles of the doctrines of Christ
Gradually we grow In grace and be
come strong In the Lord and able to
assimilate the stronger food able to
appreciate the deeper truths. As a
child requires the exercise of every
muscle In order to become the youth,
and as the youth needs exercise in or
der to become fully developed, so it Is
with the New Creature. He must
have works In order to his develop
ment He must work out the good
things which he takes lu as rallS ana
1 strong meat. They must U worked,
( out In bis own :nU:d, la his conduct j
.toward others, la his ministry of splr-
Itual truths to his family, in the ;
Church and before the world,
.w, Ar, G,d.f Workmanship."

amazed at God's workmani-hip. But
still more wonderful Is the angelic ere-
tlon with its various ordciji Thi
A
lu as
know it, we see an infinite variety of
sentient creatures. The grainiest of
all is man. even lu his fallen condi
tion. And we are amazed also nt the
eudiess variety displayed In other earth-
ly creations fruits, (lowers, etc. W e
Kiy to ourselves. How great Is our Cre
ator, that from His storehouse of Wis
dom and of Power all this Infinite vari
ety should come!
But it is when we learn of God'3
work in the Church as a New Crention
that we are more than ever amazed.
Divine grace, laying hold upon willing
hearts of fallen men, first Justifies
them through the merit of Christ, nnd
not by works, and then begins to work
in them for their own development as
a New Creation. We might well ask.
What are the agencies, whnt are the
tools, by which Divine grace operates
in this New Creation? The auswer of
the Bible makes the matter all the
more wonderful, for it reveals o us
that God works in us merely by His
promises and through our own minds
and our own wills. Thus St. Peter
declares, God hath given unto ns ex
ceeding great and precious promises,
that hy these we might become "par
takers of the divine nature."-Il Peter
1.4. 1
Christ Has Pre-eminence.
This New Creation had Its start In
our Redeemer. He who was "the be-
ginning of the creation of God," in
harmony with the Divine Plan, hum
bled Himself, laid aside His heavenly
glory and was made flesh became the
Man Christ Jesus, that lie. by the grace I
of God. might redeem the world, it
was in conjunction with this redemp
tive work, when He fully submitted
Himself In baptism at Jordan to do the
Father's will, that the Father began to
work In Illm as a New Creature.
When Jesus gave Himself sacrlflelal
ly. when His sacrifice was accepted of
the Father, then to Illm came the be
getting of the Holy Spirit as a New
Creature, to be the "Head of the
Church which Is His Body." For three
and a half years the promises of the Old
Toe n mont scrlntnres (contained In
grent measure in types nnd shadows)
worked in the Redeemer to will and to
do the Father's pleasure. He was found
faithful unto death-the New Creature
growing In grace and Divine favor ns
He took the various steps even to the
cross. When He cried, "It Is finished."
It signified that the sacrifice of the
flesh was finished and that the de
velopment of the New Creature was
complete.
Then the work began In respect to
His Body, the Church, otherwise called
Ills Bride class. Divine energy has
since been working In the Church-
since Pentecost Member after mem
ber has been called and Justified nnd
sanctified, begotten of the Holy Spirit
In each the work of grace goes on.
Each, as our text declares. Is God's
workmanship, developing In meekness,
gentleness, patience, long-suffering,
brotherly-kindness, love. All these
traits and qualities are being worked
out not In the flesh, but In the heart.
In the mind.
True, the flesh does. Indeed, reflect
some of the graces of the spirit but
Imperfectly. Gradually the new mind
gains control over the mortal body.
Gradually the light of God shines out
in words and deeds, through the heart
illuminated. It is God working.
Created For Good Works. -
Our text declares that this New Cre
ation, Christ and the Church, are God's
workmanship created In Christ Jesus
unto good works that a good work may
be done by and through them. What
good work Is this which God designs
to accomplish through the Church
through Christ and His elect Bride?
It la the good work of blessing the
non-elect world. It Is the good work
which will progress from the time of
the second coming of Jesus and the es
tablishment of His Kingdom for a
thousand years. It Is the good work
which will ultimately uplift or resur
rect Adam nnd all his race from death,
Ignorance, superstition, sin, if they are
willing up to the full perfection of
human nature and Divine favor and
everlasting life. All others, unwilling,
disobedient, will be destroyed.
When the blessed work of the thou
sand years of Messiah's reign shall
have leanRed the world of all wilful
sin and wilful sinners and shall have
lifted up mankind to an earthly Eden
and human perfection, that will not be
the end of tho Divine program for the
Church. The Apostle, in a verse pre
ceding, tells us that in Ages to come
God will show Ills favor toward the
Church not merely In the one Age in
which the Church will be permitted to
share with her Redeemer His glorious
Messianic Kingdom.
The work beyond the Millennium is
not clearly revealed, and yet "day unto
day utteretb speech and night unto
night sboweth knowledge." As the
Scriptures declare, God formed not the
earth in vain, but formed it to b in
habited, so the Bame principle, applied
to the stars, tells us that all the thou
sands of millions of worlds have been
created for a purpose, or are in process
es of perfecting for a purpose not In
vain. The human creation on our plan
et is merely a hint to uh of what the
Divine purpose is respecting all tnoee
millions of worlds.

Mexican Officials Believe Rebel
Will Soon Be in Hiding.
Mexico, City, Aug. 5. Encouraged
by General SanJInaz'a success near
t!:e eastern boundary of Sonora aud
relying upon General lluerta to wage
an energetic campaign against the
rebels with his army that drove them
back from llachliuba, government otll
clals believe that by the end of tho
week Pascual Orozco will be seeking
hiding places or begging for amnesty.
Unofficial dispatches received hero
state that many of Orozco's men are
tiring of the lighting without pay and
that the desertions are Increasing.
Juan Ortiz, leader of 300 rebels, Is
reported by General Rabagd at Ma
dera to have surrendered with all his
men after his request for amnesty had
been granted.
The plan ot campaign was altered
slightly by tho action of the rebels In
the Mormon colonies. To place an
army in that district as soon as pos
sible a force was sent from Enclna
nallai, on the line of the Central rail
road between Chihuahua and Juarez.
The work of repairing that road has
not been abandoned and a considera
ble forco f soldiers yet Is In that ter
ritory. The bulk of Huerta's army,
however, Is in and near Madera, from
where it will be pushed northward
along the line of the Northwestern to
wards Juarez and westward Into So
nora In pursuit of the retreating Insur
rectos. It is regarded as possible
that the forces will be in Juarez with
in a few days, although there Is no
Intention of bringing about interna
tlonal complications by assaulting the
border towns.
In the south Zapata appears to be
almost as vigorous as ever In his cam
paign. There Is little doubt that Za

Will Select Colonel Roosevelt as

JOHNSON FOR SECOND PUCE?
Luke Wright and John M. Parker Also
Mentioned Provisional Committee
Decides It Will Be "White Man's"
Party In the South.
Chicago, Aug. 5.- The national Pro
gressive party was formally launched
at noon in the Coliseum, where a llttla
more than a month ago President Taft
was renominated for the presidency
on the Republican ticket over the pro
teat of many of those now leading th
third party movement. The conven
tion will select Theodore Roosevelt aa
the presidential candidate, and prob
ably Governor Hiram W. Johnson ot
California as the vice presidential can
didate. Two others who are being talked
about by the delegates for second
place are Luke Wright of Tennessee
and John M. Parker of Louisiana.
It is not the Intention of Colonel
Roosevelt, who arrived here this morn
ing, to press the candidacy of any
man upon the convention. He is a
eandldate for first place on the ticket
and will have no opposition. But he
holds It is for the convention to deter
mine who shall be the vice presiden
tial candidate nnd that he has nothing
whatever to do with It.
As the first Ftep toward the organl
ratlon of the convention, tho pro
visional committee met In the Con
gress hotel, and perfected a temporary
roll. This committee determined con
tests presented from Mississippi,
Georgia and Florida, and by Its action
made tho Progressive party, so far as
the south is concerned, a white man's
party.
A bitter dispute over the negro
white delegate question In the state o(
Florida eauaert an animated argument
that several times forced the commit
tee to turn out the contestants and thj
newspaper men nnd go Into executive
sessions that were fraught with wordy
battles. The committee several times
barred the doors and went into star
chamber session, while a few dejected
nfgro contestants and weary newspat
per men waited In the hotel corrldof
outside the committee room.
The Florida contest resulted from
the sending of separate delegations .
by white and negro conventions. Th
former sent six whlt9 men, the lattef
five negroes and white man. The Bit-
fro delegates claimed that H. I kit
dm-son, provisional national commit
teman for Florida, suggested that
they hold the separate convention,
and produced documents purporting to
prove It.
Anderson admitting that he barn
negroes from the white convention,
defended that action, saying:
"By no other course can success M
secured In Florida. White men will
not follow negro political leaders.
