"Molly Carter,' said Mm. Johnson
Just day before yesterday, nfier the
white dress-Judge Wad episode that
Aunt Adeline hr.d gone to all the
friends up and down the ftroet to bo
condoled about, "if you haven't z-l
sense enough to .Tf.pi-eci.ifo yo'ir i !
er.t blissful condition somebody ought
to operate on your mind."
I was tempted to say. "Why not my

Low pood that Iwarf. did fool under my
tucker when the I-oy brought that has
let of l'-h from Judge Wade's fishing
trip Saturday. I have firmly deter
mined r.ot to blush any ire at the
thought of that gorgeous ra
outwardly.
"Don't you think it is
lonely to be a widow. Mrs.

Johnson;"
I asked ticiid.'y to see what she would
say al"ut Mr. Johnson, who is really
lovely. I think. He ghes me the gen
tlest nn-lerstandin? smile whtti he
incuts me on the street of late weeks.
"Lonely, lonely. Molly? You tallt
sbo'tt the married state exactly like
sn old maid. Don't do it it's foolish,
and you will get the lone notion really
fastened in your niiud and lot some
fool man find out that is how you
feel. Then it will be all over with you.
I have only one regret and it is that
If I ever should be a widow Mr. John
son wouldn't be here to see how rptick
ly I turned into an old maid, by the
grace of God." Mrs. Johnson sews by
assassinating the cloth with he needle,
and as she talked she wrs mending the
sleeve of one of Mr. Johnson's shirls.
"I think an old maid is jut a wo
man who hns never been in love with
a man who loves her. Ixds of them
have been married for years." I said,
just as innocently as the soft face ot
a "pan" of "cream and went "on darning
tne of Billy's socks.
"Well, be that as it may. they are
the Messed members of the women
tribe." she answered. locking at me
sharply. "Now I have often told Mr.
Johnson" Cut here we were inter
rupted In what might have been the
rehearsal of a glorious scrap by the
appearance of Aunt Bottle Pollard,
and with her came a long. tall, lovely
vision of i woman in the most wonder
ful close clingy dress and lint that you
wanted to eat on sight. I hated her
instantly with the mo.-t intense adi "ra
tion that made me want to lie down at
her feet, and also made me feel like
I had gained all the more than twenty
pounds that I have slaved ofT me and
doubled them on again. I would have
liked to lead her that minute into fir.
John's othce and just to have looked at
him and said one word "string Lean!'
Aunt Betty introduced her as Miss
Chester from Washington.
"Oh, my dear Mrs. Carter, how glad
1 am to meet you!" she said as she
towered over rne in a willowy way, and
her voice was lovely and cool almost
to slimness. "I am the bearer of so
many gracious messages that I am
nnxiotis to deliver them safely to yon.
Not six weeks ago I left Alfred P.en
liett in Paris, and really really his
greetings to you almost amounted to
steamer luggage. lie came down to
Cherbourg to .see me off, and almost
the last thing he said to me was. Vw,
don't fail to see Mrs. Carter as soon as
you get to Ilillsboro. and the more you
ece of her the more you'll enjoy your
visit to Mrs. Pollard.' Isn't he the
most delightful of men:" She :iked
Hie the question, but she had the mot
wonderful way of seeming to be talk
ing to everybody at one time, so Mrs.
Johnson got in the fir-t answer.
"Delightful, nothing! But Al Ben
nett is a man of sense not to marry
any of the string of women I suppose
lie's got f allowing him." she said Miss
Chester looked at h'-r in a mild kind of
wonder. b :t f-he went on murdering
Mr. John -on's shirt sleeve with the
needle without noticing the glance at
all.
"Well. well, honey. I don't know
about that." said Aunt Bettie as she
fanned and rocked her treat, big. dar
ling, fat self in the strong rocker I
always kept in the breezy angle of the
porch for her. "A I is not old enough
to have proved himself entirely, and
from wlct 1 hear"
She paused with a big. hearty smile
that she always wears when she be
gins to tease or matchmake. and she
does them both most of her time.
But at whom do you suppose she
looked? Not me! Miss Chester! That
was cold tub No i; for that day. and 1
didn't react as ';ui- kly as I might but
when I did I was in the proper glow
all over. When I revived and saw the
lovely pale blush on her face I felt like
a cabbage rose beside a teabud. I was
glad Aunt Adeline came out on the
lorch just then so 1 could go in and
tell Judy to bring out the iced tea and
cakes. When I came from the kitchen
I stepped into my room and took out
one of Alfred's letters from the desk
drawer and opened it at random, as
you do the Bible when yon want to
decide things, and put my finger down
on a line with my tes shut. This was
what it was:
"and all these years I have walked
the world, blindfolded to its loveliness

when .she first really hears it. I felt j
funny all afternoon as 1 packed those
trunks for the ." o'clock train.
Yes, the word "trousseau" ought to
have a definite surname after it al
ways and that's why my loyalty drag
ged poor Mr. Carter out into the light
of mv conscience. The thinking of
I him had a strange effect on ine. I had
laid out the dream in dark gray blue
rajah, tailored almost beyond endur
ance, to wear home on the train and
had thrown the old black taffeta bag
across the chair to give to the hotel
maid, but the decision of the session
between conscience and loyalty made
me pick the precious blue wonder and
put on once more the black rags of re
membrance in a kind of panic of re
spect. I would lots rather have bought poor
Mr. Carter the monument I have been
planning for months to keep tip conver
sation with Aunt Adeline than wear
that dress again. 1 felt conscience re
prove me once more with loyalty look
ing on In disapproval as I buttoned the
old thing up for the last time, because
I really ought to have stayed over a
day to buy that monument, but, to tell
the truth. I wanted to see Billy so des
perately that his "sleep place" above
my heart hurt as if it might have
prickly heat break out at any minute.
So i hurried and stuffed the gray
blue darling in the top tray, lapped
old black taffeta around my waist and
bolted it in with n black belt off a new
green linen I bad made for morning
walks down to the drug store on the
public square. 1 suppose. That is about

i spoke in part as follows:
! The Bible declares the only Clod of
loe. of sympathy. f compassion. The
j heathen gods are ail vengeful, tyranni
I cal. merciless, captious. And the pic
j ture uf ;ud in our creeds, formulated
in the Park Ages, misrepresents Pint
! even more than do the heathen idols.
All the false gods are repulsive. I Hil.v
of the ;il uf the Bible can it be truly
said "Mv heart and mv tlesh cry out
for the Itvintr Cod." To rid ourselves
of the misconceptions uf the Almighty
furnished by our reeds .and to appre-
l.ptte the Cod of the Bible should be
I the endeavor of all intelligent people.
Mark the sympathy of Cod for His
1 fallen creatures, as expressed in our
i test. Note how it contradicts our theo
ries respecting the Pivine predestina
, tion uf more than nine-tenths uf our
I nice to eternal torture. The Lord was
; mindful uf His Creatures. He did i."t
I abandon them because uf the disohedi
i encc in Kden. II" looked down front
1 the heights of His holy Sanctuary,
i From Heaven II" beheld the earth and
I its teeming millions plunged into sin
j by the Ad vi rsi ry ;tnd suffering thepeu
i ttlty for sin "Iiying. thou shalt die."
Human Wretchedness In Cod's Sight.
i To behold the earth from the Heav
enly viewpoint must be a terrible sight
enough to niako angels weep sigh
ing, crying, dying, everywhere. Some
are demented to the extent of prefer
ring darkness to light, wallowing in the
mire uf sin and feeding upon the ap
ples uf Sodom: some uf them so dv
pravod that they love the wrong and
lnite the right; others so weak that
they cannot do the things that they
would; many of them in jails-, peiiiten-
tiarb
sand
, etc.: other hundreds uf thoit
in hospitals: and still other hun
dreds of thousands in insane asylums;
and thousands of millions gone down
to the tomb, with a few in compara
tive health, rushing headlong seeking
for happiness, or lighting and cheating
to amass fortune, which, dying, they
must leave. Verily, as Cod looks
down, the Karth must appear to Him
like a vast hospital, a cemetery, a
mad-house.
Not with curiosity did the Almighty
look upon us, but with sympathy
with loving intention. Indeed, from
the very beginning He foreknew man's
wayward course and its penalty of sin
and death, and from that beginning
He planned the great rescue which
now He is to begin. The rescue is not
from a fiery hell of everlasting torture,
but from the terrible condition of sin
and death in which we lind ourselves.
Freeing Death-Appointed Prisoners.
The entire race of Adam, shackled
with sin and under sentence of death,
have for six thousand years been
marching to the groat prison-house of
the toiub. An ever-increasing number,
they are now entering the prison-house
at the rate of ninety thousand every
twentv-four hours. Notwithstanding
1 rt- 4lw... .....b,, ft l.a l.onm- Hit
Apostle was undoubtedly 'correct in
Ids declaration "the whole creation
groans anl tntvails in pain together."
Cod has heard the groaning of these
prisoners, has sympathized with them
and has provided a redemption. As
one man's sin brought the curse upon
ltimself and. by laws of heredity, upon
all of his children, so Divine Wisdom
has

It is only

lions brought into being as children- of
Adam need -to be rescued from the
prison-house of death. It is not su In
dent that they should be legally loosed.
They need to be actually set free. And
sluee life has been lost, life itself must
be restored to them ere they can profit
by trio Iledeemor's sacrifice.
The New Creation.
God's benevolen design, for the re
creation of flie human family began
its operation at Penteeost. in His a-eeptaiK-e
of the church and the beget
ting of its members by the Holy Spirit

if they are the 1'irst-lioriis, as the

St. Peter, to whom J
t licv words, disl iii't ly 1
lis addressed
ints out to us
that those Times of Begenerat hm. or
Bestitution, are waiting-delaying un
til the Second Coining of Christ in the
power and glory of His .Messi.niic
Kingdom. (Acts .":1'.i 21. i Then those
"Tinies of Bestitution " the world's re
generation time, will be ushered in.
Then the Church, changed from earth
ly nature to Heavenly nature, will be
with her Lord and share His glory.
"When Chrit .shall appear, we

be the Heavenly Bridegroom's j..int
heir in His Kingdom, and asi-tant in
His ireat work uf recreating the race
restoring th.-m t" primeval conditions
plus the experiences of the fall.
True, we are not to forget that th"
Scriptures indicate that there will be
a testing of character in respect
those who will be fnlly brought back
to all that was lost. But the testing
will be such as all will approve. All
who participate in the experiences of
the fall and its reign of Silt and Peith
must be made acquainted with the
Bedeenier and His restoring puw.-.s.
But only "such as respond to these
blessings, and cme to ove righteous
ness and hate ini.ptity. will have con
firmed t them t he srift of Cod- Mr

I.urd. All others will justly die the
Second Peath. from which there will
be no redemption, no resurrection. As
St. Peter says, such shall perish like
natural brute beasts. Peter '2A-.
This Bible story of Cod's compassion
upon our death condemned race is I..1.1
In various terms; hut the import of the
Cood Tidings in every ease is lite
same. For instance, it is described by
St. I'a til as the "resurrection of the
deud. both of the jusi and of the en
just." The just justified by faith -faithfully
maintaining their relation
ship t Cd through Christ, and prov
ing their loyalty by obedience and a
walk in opposition to the spirit of tjie
world, will constitute the First 1 resur
rection, the first fruits.
The reign of Christ's saints is the
long promised Millennium, or thousand
years of righteousness, during which
Satan will be bound, that he may no
longer deceive mankind. That thou
sand years w ill be the time of human
Bestitution-to the perfection once en
joyed by Father Adam, but lost by his
disobedience, and redeemed for the
race by the Savior's obedience. All
the w illing and obedient shall be raised
m out of sin. out of imperfection, out
.i..: ,..,,.iit!,o. t.'ici.- tii the image
Ul HIIM, Oil"
and likeness of Cod re-created in
Cod's image. This is the resurrection
of the unjust.
Ti,n i-eciii-i-eet ion lilessing Is not in
tended merely for the Church, the jus
tilied by faith. It is intended also,
evidently, to be for all the unjust-the
world of mankind Adam and all his
race. They all shall have full oppor

and give h 1 lo seducing spirits - -

As the Bedeenier so loved righteous

righteousness, so it will be with the

Willing, Obedient, Worthy.
We have show n the wide distinction
between the reward of the Church in
Heavenly glory and the reward uf the
obedient of mankind in earthly glory
in Paradise restored. Cod is just: and
hence we are not surprised ft nun mai
the ualhw.iv which I
to the 1 leav-
only glory
distiuctly different from
i n n ,ii leads to can my gioi
and Institution. The latter was rep
I resented by the Law. the sum andsub
! stance of w hich is the CoUlen Uule
I righteousness, obedience to Cod. loyal
ly to Hint in every respect.
I These glorious standards assure us
that the perfect man will be a glorious
being and every way tvlieet the char
iactef of his Creator, as Adam did at
'lhe lirst. As was the earthly one in
' tits iierfection. such will ti'so be the
earthly ones in their restored, regener
ated, re-created condition. Their ad
vantage over our lirst parents w ill be
that, in the meantime, they will have
come t fully appreciate the difference
between right and wrong, good and
evil, obedience and disobedience, and
the 'difference between the re wards of
these life and death.
The Church, on the contrary, will
have a much severer test than the
Colden Iluli'. Hers will be the test of
loyaltv to the extent of the Redeem
er's loyalty. As He laid dow n llis life
In obedience t- the Father's will and
fit the service of the Truth, so these
must all thus do. They must all dem
onstrate their loyalty to Cod by the
very highest tests by obedience even
unto doath-hy voluntarily laying
down their lives for the brethren-by
being willing to follow the Lord and
the Truth through evil report and good
report, a eo
ounting that the trials ana
wav are but light af-
i imcumes or ine
