The l'laltsmouLh postolllce, that was threatened by the settl ing of the ground, Seems to be sale now from any further trouble on that score. Superintending Inspector Hichard Fourchy and Major C. F. Creamer of Council Mutt's were in the city yesterday ami investigated the settling of the building, and 11 is their opinion that there is not much chance of the building settling any more. They took careful measurement of I lie building and arrived at the conclusion that the po.sioilice building is all right, at least nt the present time. The site of the postnllice build in,- was formerly the bed of a creek, and it has always been a dilncult matter to secure a solid foundation to build upon. The building bad only been occupied a short time when several cracks were noticed in the ceiling of the lobby, and the matter was called to the attention of the postollire department, which at once began to look into the matter. It was thought at the time it would be necessary to drive piling to pre vent the building from settling, lint as (here appears to be n l further danger on that score, Hit' j matter will not be pushed unless there should develop further danger to the building. The Plattsmouth building is a very handsome structure and it is a credit to the city and to its citizens, and that the settling seems to be over will bit a source of pleasure to them all.

CHRIST DIED TO SAVESINHERS St Paul's Gospel, Which He Was Nut Ashamed to Preach. AN 1NSP.RED STATEMENT. Pastor Russell, In Montreal, Say That the Penalty of Sin Was Justly Im posed The Redeemer Is Yet to Be come the Great Deliverer of the World Importance of Resurrection. Montreal, Sept 22.-rastor Russell gave two addresses here today, one on " BEYOND TUB UK AVE," the other on "St Paul's Gos pel." America's Ubiq uitous Preacher comes quite fre quently to the Prov inces, and the Im mense audiences that everywhere greet hlni are proof that the True Gos pel which he preaches has to some ex tent fouud a responsive chord In thou sands of Canadian hearts. We report the Pastor's second ad dress, which was from the text, "More over, brethren, I declare unto you the Gospel which I preached unto you: how that Christ died for our sins ac cording to the Scriptures; and that He was burled, and that Ho rose again the third day." (I Corinthians xv. 1-4.) So complete a statement of the Gospel In so few words is wonderful. With out Inspiration St. Paul, like the rest of us. would have said more would have said too much. Let us analyze the text and see what it contains. First of all. It teaches that we are sinners and that our sins are beyond our own power to wash away or eradi cate. This Is a fundamental. Impor tant mutter. Failure to realize that we are Imperfect, horn In sin, "sliapen In Iniquity," has hindered many from seeing the necessity for a Redeemer, and therefore from accepting Jesus as their Savior. To say that we are sin ners Implies a time when righteous ness prevailed in our ancestry. We do not speak of brutes as sinners, be cause the Scriptures say that "sin Is transgression of the Law," and God would not give a law to a bruto, which could not comprehend thnt law. Similarly the perfection of onr first parents was Implied In this term, be cause God would not give a law to being not sufficiently Intelligent and capable of keeping that law. Thus this very simple statement We art sinners. Implies the thought of a fall, Just as the Bible declares. "Christ Died For Our Sins." For Christ to die for our sins Implies that our sins had a death-penalty at tached to them. This again implies that at the time that death penalty was Imposed It was a Just one. because a Just God would not punish unjustly. The Justice of u death penalty implies a high degree of Intelligence on the part of the sinner and that he was in a condition In which he would not have needed to die If he hod not sinned. This statement, "that Christ died for our sins." further implies that Christ was not of the fallen race, for had He been n sinner, how could He have died for sinners how could His death have been of any profit or ndvontago to them? Thus our text teaches that Je 8iis was indeed "the Lamb of God which taketh away the sin of the world." that God sent His Only Be gotten Sou Into the world that we might not perish but have everlasting life. The whole force and Import of this text Is that human salvation is secured by the death of Christ and His resurrection. Were we not sinners und dying we would have needed no one to die for us. Were It not to rescue us from siu nnd from death God would not have scut His Son. The Death-Penalty Stated. Here let us notico tho force of the word death In our text. It did not mean life In torment to our Redeemer, for the Scriptures hear clear testimony, not only that He died, but that He arose from the dead on the third day. And the Scriptures declare that He was not alive anywhere during those three days. This contradicts the thought of some who claim that He was the Heavenly Father Himself and could not die that He merely got out of the body on the cross ami let the body die and afterwards pretended that He had died, when Ho suld, "I am He that llveth, and was dead, and he boid, I nm alive forevermore." Rev. t. IS. We have a genuine Redemption, a real Sucrlflce, and the Redeemer Is yet to become the Groat Deliverer of the world, whose deliverance from death by resurrection cost the Redeemer His life. A by a man enme death, by tho Mun Christ Jesus comes the resurrection of the dead; "for as all In Adam die. even so all In Christ shall be made olive every man in his own order."-I Corinthians xv, 21-23. He Arose the Third Day. Great importance attaches to the fact that the One who died for our (tins did not remain dead. He de scended Into Noll Shool, Hades, the tomb but His soul was nut left there, a the Scriptures declare. God the Father raised Him from the dead on Hie third day. The Importance of Christ's resurrection Is many-fold. It hows that Fie did not die a sinner, but on the contrary, maintained His relationship with the Father "holy, harmless, undetlled, separate from sin ners." It shows that He kept the I-aw; otherwise He would have remained dead like the remainder of the Jews. More than this, the fact that He was raised from the dead to a higher nature, a spirit being, "partake.- of the Divine nature," proves that His sacri ficial death was very pleasing and ac ceptable In the Father's sight; hence nis high reward. And all this proves that the Heavenly Father's great promise to Abrahuin is In process of fulfilment. Our Lord's resurrection to the plane of glory demonstrates to us the greatness of this Seed of Abraham, and Ills preparation for the great work foretold the blessing of all tho fami lies of the earth. From this viewpoint we see tho Im portance of Ills death and of His resurrection, co-related. The death was necessary as man's Redemption price. Ills exaltation to power and great glory was necessary for man's deliverance from sin and death. Here we have, then, the Gospel which St. Paul received and which he, In turn, dlspensed-the true Gospel of which he was not ashamed. As he wrote to tho brethren at Rome. "I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for It is the power of God unto salvation to every one that belleveth to the Jew first and also to the Greek." Gospel In a Nut-Shell. As a great oak may be said to be In an acorn, so tho great Gospel Message may bo said to be in out text as St. Paul declares. Every time we look at It it seems a little larger and a little more benutlful than before. We can almost see It grow not that the Gospel Is growing, for it Is the same that God purposed in Himself before the foundation of tho world. It Is our appreciation of tho Gospel that grows, In proportion as wo grow in grace nnd In tho knowledge of the Divine Plan nnd In tho Spirit of our Lord; for without Ills Spirit the Holy Spirit, to enlighten our understanding and to enable us to appreciate the tes timonies of the Word, we would not be able to comprehend "the deep things of God." How plainly the Apostle states this, saying, "The natural man recolveth not the things of the Spirit of God, neither can bo know them, be cause they are spiritually discerned; but God hath revealed thera unto us by Ills Spirit, for tho Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God."-I Cor. 11, 14. 10. Pastor Russell's reputation for faith fulness to the Divine Word, his cour age to speak the Truth in Love, and his power to hold vast audiences In rapt attention for hours has spread everywhere. Newspapers to the num ber of 1,500 in the States, in Great Britain and in the Dominion which are publishing his sermons and also his comments on the International Sun day School Lessons are zealous in their support of his excellent services and are praying still more power to hi Tolee and pen. We have merely eeen the root of the" Gospel, continued Pastor Russell, as it centers in the promise made to Abra ham and in the redemptive work ac complished by our Savior. In Romans xl 10 21 St Paul uses the illustration of an olive tree, and doelnres the brandies of tho tree to be the mem bers of the Body of Christ which is tho Church. From these branches will come abundant fruitage by and by, of "olive oil" for the light of the World. St. Paul points out that the natural Israelites wer? the natural branches and that the Jews therefore had the first right, privilege and opportunity of becoming the members of tho Body of Christ the Church. As a matter of fact, all privilege nnd opportunity was excluded from the Gentiles until Is rael's time of favor was complete three and n half years after tho cross. During those years the Lord's provi dence bo blessed tho Jews that they were all brought In contact with the Truth uuiler most favorable conditions. We remember thnt thousnnds were converted nnd blessed at Pentecost nnd other thousnnds a littlo later on. We may be sure that every worthy branch In that tree was nceepted of the Lord every "Israelite indeed In whom was no guile." St. Paul tells us that then the unbelieving Jews, tho natural branches, were all broken off, separat ed from the Divine favor In which they had previously been. Then began the work of calling, preparing and en grafting Gentiles, whom the Apostle represents n of n wild olive tree. This work of engrafting the Gentiles Into the Jewish stock nnd making them fellow-heirs with the Jews of the orig inal Divine promise made to Abruhnm has progressed for now nearly nineteen centuries. This Is the name Gospel, because It nil springs from the same gracious promise. It was "good tidings" when as a message It was given to Abraham.' Its value was in tensified when God made oath to its certainty of fulfilment. The fulfilment began In Jesus, continued through the Jewish disciples, nnd now has accumu lated a considerable number of the Gentiles probably the foreordained number rs completed. When the Elect number shnll hnve been tested nnd proven and aholl have been accepted In the resurrection change and passed beyond the veil-then this most won derful feature of the Gospel will have been accomplished. Jewish Share of Goepel. The completion of Spiritual Israel will be followed by the establishment of Messiah's Kingdom nnd the begin ning of the blessing of all the families of the earth. We are to distinguish here between the Church nnd the fam ilies of tho enrth. for the Church in their consecration nnd acceptance of the Lord nnd begetting ?f the Holy spirit become members or tne new nation. ' They are no longer humans. As St Paul declares. "Ye are not la the flesh, but in the spirit if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you" (Ro maus vlll, 9). The Church not only re ceives eternal life, but that life Is on a higher plane as spirit belugs. Theirs will be glory, honor and immortality. In Jolnt-helrshlp with their Lotf.. Amongst the families of the earth to be blessed by Messiah's Kingdom the. first place will be given to Natural Is rael. In all things the Jew was to have pre-eminence, for this is the Di vine arraugement. As the Jew got the opportunity of becoming members of the Body of Christ before it was of fered to tho Gentiles, so Fleshly Israel will be tho first nation to be granted the opportunities nnd blessings of Res titution to human perfection under Messiah's Kingdom. Provision has al ready been made for this. Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and all the Prophets of old have the testimony that the pleased God and thnt they are to bars a better resurrection than the ordinary. They cannot be members of the Bride of Christ, nor sharers in the spiritual privileges and the Heavenly Kingdom. They lived before the High Calling, before the neaveuly Calling was open ed. Jesus was the Captain, Leader and Forerunner in this, and Ills Jolnt-helrs all follow Him. None of them pre ceded Him. "Princes In All the Earth." But the Messlnnlc Kingdom, itself spiritual, will need earthly Representa tives, and they are provided for In thoss Ancient Worthies. Their testing haf lng been completed, they will be raised perfect human beings, as Adam was in his perfection, and Jesus in Ills, while on earth. Their superior powers of mind and body will soon grasp all the wonderful things which Divine provi dence has arranged for Hlnce their day, nnd they will bo quite masters of the situation. Naturally, perfect men will be Princes amongst imperfect ones. But those will hold the title from the Great Messiah. This is prophetically stated: "Instead of Thy fathers shall be Thy children, whom Thou (Messiah) alialt make Princes In nil the earth." rs.ilm xlv. 10. Assuredly the new order of things will nppenl to the Jew first Ills les sons under the Law will make him spe cially amennble to the new condition, of things, for during that thousand years all mankind will be judged, not according to their faith entirely, but specially according to their works. Faith will be easy when knowledge will be so complete and so general. Good works will be gradually more and more possible as they shall be blessed and restored to perfection under the Kingdom arrangements. f The Scriptures intimate that the) world nt that time will be in a deject ed condition. The great "Time of Tron ble" with which Messiah's Kingdom will be Inaugurated will cut a deep, swath In earthly hopes and ambitions, and all nations wtll be in the condition to desire the Messianic Government, and then, "The desire of all nations hall come." nag. it, T. , "Come, Let Ue Go Up.".. . The Scripture prophotlcalT foretell that as the Divine blessings of Mes siah's Kingdom go more and more to Israelites, other nations will take note) of this and be Inclined to entreat a share of tho Divine favors, saying, "Come, let us go up to tho mountain (Kingdom) of the Lord's house; lis will teach us of Ills ways and we will walk In Ills paths." Tho whole world, every nation, people, kindred tongue, needs Just tho blessings of healing and life eternal which tho Messianic Kingdom Is to offer them. And the terms will not bo impossible, but quits the reverse. Messiah Is to be, not only a Great King to rule, but also a Great Trlest and tho Church with Hlra la promised to bo a Royal Priesthood. However, God will not accept any other nation than Israel. All of Ills blessings nre to go to the Seed of Abraham. And ns Abraham's Seed spiritual in the resurrection becomes "as the stars of heaven," so his seed natural will Increase to fill the whole? earth, and are compared to "tho sand of tho seashore." Nor will this be an arbitrary matter. It means tho great est good to nil. Note that tho first members of Spiritual Israel camo from Natural Israel, and thnt the Gentiles were grafted In. Similarly tho first fruits of tho world will be Natural Israel, but nil nntlons will hnve the privilege and opportunity of being en grafted Into and becoming members. of Israel much nfter the same manner that people of nil nationalities com ing to Anierlcnn Canada mny enjoy citizenship here under certain Coven ant conditions. Tho Now Covenant conditions Inaugurated with Israel (Jer. xxxl. 31-31) will thus Ik open to all mankind, because nil will bo permitted to become members of Israel. Thus, as the Scriptures prophesy. Abraham eventually will be "a father of many latlons." Romans Iv, 17. Eventually, all the willing nnd obedient will be glad to enter Into this New Covenant relationship with God through Christ nnd to bo counted members of "the seed of Abraham." Eventually, nil others will be destroy ed In the Second Death, so that then all the earth will be blessed as Abra ham's seed. Here we have the Gospel In Its fulness, expnnded from the original promise made to Abraham, and taking in nil the features of Di vine grace and mercy and eventuating in tho most wonderful blessings pos sible for the human mind to Imagine! And nil this centers in the work of Jesus, In His death for our sins and In nis resurrection for onr deliverance and the execution of tho Gospel Pro gram. Thanks bo unto God for Ills unspeakable gift! Hallelujah, whnt a Gospel! Hallelujah, what a Savlort Hallelujah, whnt n God! J
