ELIMINATE HUERTA.
When tin's was written the
tentative proposals to servo as
bais of meditation had not been
made public, but before the pood
oiliees of the Latin republics of
S'Ul!i America were offered
Jresident Wilson had hinted
lroiiirIy tliat only the elimination
of Huerta would work toward a
permanent settlement. Even self
elTaeejnent may be planted by the
dictator, who bes luxury more
than he loves his country; Huerta
may be eliminated for a consider
ation and safe convoy to Paris
or some other burp: oi origin
lights. IJut that would not
change the Mexican nature, nor
greatly alter the situation below
the Hin Grande. Do la JJarra, or
lYlix Diaz, or IJlanquef, or Ga
ranza might be made president
pending an election, or even af
ter, but the habit of rebellion is
nv so strong that some leader of
,-M'iue other faction would certain
ly rise to di-pule the claim, and
loot in; and bloodshed would con
tinue. He who doubts that hasn't
watched closely the Mexican
situation as it has been since the
elimination of Purlino Diaz, and
M-n that iron-handed one
couldn't repeat, when so many
oung men have learned the
profits of open hostilities are
larger than the frugal paths of
industry offer. Therefore one

WOMAN'S PART IN WAR.
While prosutTrage and anti-
suffrage leaders have been send
ing messages to the president
concerning the Mexican situation,
the question of woman suffrage is
not remotely connected wilh war,
except in fantastic arguments
The women have always borne
their full measure of Ihe burden
of war, and while they have not
often been called upon lo bear the
physical sulferiug that falls to
the lot of the soldiers in the field,
they have endured a mental
anguish incomparably worse. The
seventeen marines who lost their
lives following the seizure of the
custom house at Vera Cruz went
cheerfully to their death. They
clamored for a chance to be the
first to land. But from the time
the battleships wore ordered to
Mexico the mothers of every olli-
cer and enlisted man in both
Heels were in an agony of sus
pense. When the first new s came,
without names, this agony was
increased. Ihe list of names
brought temporary relief to the
many, but bitterness to the few.
The seventy wounded, cared for
by the hospitals, are not sulferin
half as much as are their moth
ers.
There is one typo of bravery
which to the sound of the bugle
charges a foe and scales a fort-
ess. It is another kind of
travery that sits at home patient
s' wailing for the worst. Letters
ire lost or delayed in transit an
uixiety at home deepens. Then
a battle in which thousands
ire killed or injured. Every moth-
r is certain her son is among
the number until Ihe lull list ap-
iears or she receives direct com
munication as to his safety
When she hears that her son b
ill in the hospital, stricken with
lisease or wounded in battle, shi
would take the wings of the
morning- and llv lo his side to
nurse him. She wonders ii he is
neglected, whether the surgeon is
competent and whether the food
is fit for his delicate stomach,
She worries herself with misgiv
ings. The boy himself may be
doing nicely. He may write her
that he is convalescent, but she
does not believe him. She thinks
that he is lying lo her out of the
fullness of his love. So whether
matters go well or ill, the soldier's
mother is never satisfied. She
always expecting the worst.
When he is reported captured by
the enemy, every terrible storv of
prison suffering she ever heard
arises in her recollection to
harass her.
While the ministering angels
that attach themselves to the bos
pilal corps and soothe the fevered
brows of the soldier sick are
heroines worthy the praise that
has been showered upon them in
song and in story, the women who
actually suffer most from the
ravages of war are the mothers,
wives, sisters and sweethearts,
who slay at home and wait for
news from the front.
Criticising Mr. Bryan is gen
erally regarded as a much safer
amusement than criticising
President Wilson, and doubtless
it is. The secretary of slate is
vulnerable, but nobody could be
well guilty of so many offenses
against intelligent government as
Mr. Bryan's enemies are charg
ing against him. The very ex
cess of accumulation -IiouliI
bring him comfort and consola
tion. :o:-
We would like to see the demo
crats of Nebraska present a solid
front at the election this fall. Can
they do it? You bet they can,
by throwing aside all petty jeal
ousies and getting together on
lines that
are agreeable lo all
factions.
:o:
Some people who want war so
bad are still censuring President
Wilson, but the president is not
worrying as long as he thinks he
is doing right.
liven though Roger Sullivan
has lost out in having a linger in
some of the federal apopintments
that have been made during the
last week in Illinois, he doesn'
appear to be worried much. Jus
now Roger is a candidate for the
nomination for United States
senator on the democratic ticket
and things are lining up his way
pretty well, so why should he
worry?

Col. Walterson, in the Louis

faking such a sum of money out
of (he people's pocket, without
indemnification in any form, it
uas not vet na.i nie courage to
avoid the fact. There is as much
wisdom as of satire m the colo
nel s opinions. In extenuation it
diould be remembered that he
wrote in Home, an old imperial
city which once promoted peace
in the way we are now promoting
t in Mexico, anil always wilh the

Col. Watlerson foresees. The

According to a government re
port which was made public a
few days ago, this year's crop of
winter wheat will be the heaviest
ever harvest eil in the United
Slates. The area to this cereal
aiid the condition of the growing
grain support the prediction. It
will be well, therefore, for farm
ers and others interested in
handling this great crop to give
early attention lo the question of
harvest labor. If they put off un
til the wheat is ready for the
sickle they may find the problem
impossible of solution. By mak
ing advance preparations a great
saving may be effected. Every
year there is a cry of distress
from wheat growing sections of
the country. It is always a plea
for more harvesters. It is seldom
satisfied, not because there are
not enough laborers in the coun
try to do Ihe work, but because
there has been no adequate effort
to get theni into the wheat fields.
A plan for bringing the farmer
and the unemployed workiugman
into contact at the harvest sea
son ought to bo devised and it
ought to be done now.

May 17. Pastor
Tlussell, whose
Photo-Drama of
Creation not onl3'
presents the story
of man's redemp
tion, but also out
lines the history
of earth from the
beginning of Its
existence, preach
ed today upon the
AT 4
1
subject of Dap
irPASTQg EU55ELD tlsm. His text
w a s, "Therefore
we are buried with Him by baptism
into death; that like as Christ was
raised up from the dead by the glory
of the Father, even so we also should
walk In new ness of life." IJomaus d:4.
On opeuhig his discourse, the Pastor
called attention to the fact that h!s
text did uot read, buried by baptism
into water, or sprinkled with water,
but "buried by baptism into death." In
the context, the Apostle s:iys riot one
word about water baptism. Water
baptism, the Pastor declared, is mere-
y a symbol, or picture, of the real bap
tism; and the Apostle Paul explains
from various points of view the real
baptism, without which the symbol Is
a mere form. Whoever receives the
real baptism thereby becomes a mem
ber of the Body of Christ, a member of
the New Creation. But whoever has
not the real baptism is not a New
Creature, not a member of the Body
of Christ, though he were baptized in
water a thousand times.
The Pastor next showed that the real
baptism is a baptism into Christ's
death. This baptism takes place at
the moment when one consecrates him
self fully to the Lord making a com
plete surrender of his will to God
thenceforth to follow His leadings and
to render obedience even unto death
As the Scriptures sometimes represent
It, we give our hearts to the Lord
This burial of our wills into the will of
God is reckoned to be our death as hu
man beings. Therefore, the Apostle
says, "Ye are dead, and your life is hid
with Christ in God." From the mo
ment of consecration we are no longer
counted as human beings, of the earth,
earthy, with earthly hopes, aims and
objects, but as New Creatures, iu
Christ. This burial of our wills into
the Divine will is instantly followed
by our begetting to newness of life to
a new nature.
Water Baptism as a Symbol.
The Pastor next discussed the sub
ject of water baptism. Christian peo
ple, he declared, are a unit in under
standing that the New Testament
teaches baptism, but there is great con
fusion of thought respecting its mode
and signilicauce. By the second cen
tury of our lira, he asserted, the great
falling awaj' from the faith, predicted
by the apostles, had gained such head
way that very superstitious views were
held by the church nominal. Water
baptism was supposed not only to can
eel sins that were past, but also to
bring its recipient certain favors from
God which could uot otherwise be se
cured. Not only did believers seek
baptism for themselves, but they
brought their children for baptism; and
since these were too young to enter
into covenant relationship with God
for themselves, an arrangement was
made whereby others than the parents
might become sponsors for such chil
dren. Continuing his theme, the Pastor re
viewed briefly the various theories on
the subject of baptism held by the dif
ferent denominations. He then ex
plained wherein these are not in har
mony with tho Scriptures. Neither
sprinkling nor pouring could in ary
sense of the word be considered a
picture of death and burial. lie call
ed attention to the fact that the Greek
Word signifying baptism baptizohns
the significance of immersing, cover
ing, plunging; and that wholly differ
ent words are used in the Greek when
sprinkling, pouring or raining is meant.
So fully did he cover every phase of
this subject that he left no doubt that
immersion Is the Scriptural form of
baptism.
' The Pastor then discussed the doc
trine of baptism as set forth in the
Baptist and Disciple denominations,
lie showed that our Disciple friends
are preaching the baptism of John the
Baptist, not baptism Into Christ; and
that our Baptist friends, while they
have the right form, as have also the
Disciples, have emphasized the sym
bol rather than the reality consecra
tion uuto death. This portion of the
discourse was especially interesting and
profitable. Apparently the Tastor sus
tafted his point fully; for he har
monized all the Scriptures beariug
upon the subject. It Is only after we
see clearly the confusion Involved in
the various theories of Christendom
that we are prepared to appreciate the
simplicity of the Scriptural teaching,
The Real Baptism Into Christ.
Having established the facts that
water bayicsm Is a figure, a symbolical
picture, f consecration, and that im
mersion is the Scriptural form of bap
tism, the Pastor then dwelt upon the
subject as presented in Itoinans C.
There the Apostle sets forth the deep
significance of burial with Jesus.
From the time that the Christian gives
his heart to the Lord he Is reckoned
dead. Thenceforth as a New Creature
in Christ he should walk in newness
of life that is to say, his daily course
should bo altogether different from
that of the world. The Christian is
under laws much higher than any hu
man law. His is the highest standard
there is the Law of God
The Pustor then explained In what
way the Christian who is burled in
baptism with Christ rises to walk In
newness of life. To the consecrated
Christian, "Old things have passed
away" old ambitions, old motives, the
thought of making a great name, of
owning the earth or of accomplishing
something noteworthy of a worldly
kind, etc. All these have given place
to higher ambitions, new motives the
hope of having favor with God, being
now His dear children, anxious to
know His will and to do it To these
the first general Law Is given the
Golden Kule which Is the least of all
the Divine laws. "Do unto others as
ye would have them do unto you," is
the prima r j' Law of God for all Chris
tin ns. To be a representative of the
Lord every Christian must love his
neighbor as himself, must deal with
him as kindly and as generously as he
would have that neighbor deal with
him.
But the Christian must do much more
than observe the Golden Itule, contln
uod the Pastor. Had Jesus done no more
than keep the Golden Itule, mankind
would not have been redeemed by the
precious blood of God's dear Son. He
could have done just as much for oth
ers as He would ask-any one to do for
Him, and not have died for the fallen
race of Adam. His sacrifice included
much more than merely keeping the
Golden Kule. The Golden Kule, the
speaker declared, is the Jewish Law,
which Israel could not keep because of
their fallen condition.
it was then explained how it is that
the Christian can keep the Law which
the Jew failed to observe. St. Paul de
Clares that while the Church of Christ
is mi mure perfect in the ilesh than Is
the Jew, yet God i.s dealing differently
with the Church. He is scrutinizing
their hearts and judging them accord
ing to their intentions. If He sees that
in the heart the Christian is striving to
love his neighbor as himself and to do
unto others a.s he would be done by.
lie is pleased; and He has made ar
rangements wherebv those who are
thus striving may remain In His faml
ly despite their failures and shortcom
ings. The.se they may confess, and
they may ask forgiveness for Jesus'
sake and be forgiven.
How ths Christian Fulfils the Law.
The Pastor -then showed that God
has made a provision for the Church
wliich He did not make for the Jews,
Israel was under a typical Law. with
a typical mediator, who could not offer
real atonement for their weaknesses
and have them judged according to
the mind. But. through Jesus Christ,
the Father has made this verj' ar
rangement for the Church; and they
are judged according to their inten
tions, according to their will. There
fore, when they are living up to the
Golden Kule to the best of their abili
ty, the righteousness of the Law is
reckoned as fulfilled in them. As the
Apostle says, "The righteousness of
the Law is fulfilled in us, who walk
not after the flesh, but after the Spir-
it." Kven though we can never fully
catch up with the spirit of that Law
after which we are walking, yet "the
blood of Jesus Christ His Sou cleans-
eth us from all sin."
The Christian, however, has in his
vow of consecration agreed to do more
i,., i.H.n.ir i.o..m tlie Gnlden K nle.
He has covenanted to give up all of
his earthly interests, to do the will of
God and to drink the cup which He
pours for those who follow in the foot
steps of Jesus. Whatever the conse
crated Christian sees to be the will of
God respecting him he is to do he is
to driuk that "cup," doing so with as
much pleasure as possible, delighting
to do the Father's will, even thougu
tho cup be bitter.
The Pastor emphasized this point by
reference to the experiences or tlie
Master. Shortly before His death.
James and John had requested that
they might be privileged to sit, the one
on His right hand and the other on His
left, in His Messianic Kingdom. It
was not selfishness that prompted the
request, but deep love and apprecia
tion of their Lord. James and John
were so earnest, so zealous, that the
Lord especially loved them. In reply
to their request, Jesus asked, "Are ye
able to drink of the cup that I shall
drink of, and to be baptized with the
baptism that I am baptized with?"
This is the condition of discipleshlp.
You cannot be in tho Throne unless
you drink tlie cup.
Baptized With Christ's Baptism.
The Pastor then demonstrated con
clusively that the baptism to which our
Lord referred In His reply to the re
quest made by James and John was
not water baptism. lie quoted anoth
er saving of Jesus on the same subject
"I have a baptism to be baptized
with; and how am I straitened until
it be accomplished:" That baptism
was accomplished when on the cross
He cried. "It is finished!" This, the
peaker declared, U the baptism whica
I every true follower of the Master must
undergo immersion of one's own will
into that of the Heavenly Father. The
water baptism is a symbol of that bap
tism, but the real baptism of Christ was
His immersion into death fully, com
pletely, giving up Ills life to do the Fa
ther's will.
Whoever would be with the Master
in His Throne must be so fully con
secrated to do the Divine will, so ready
to drink our Lord's cup, thnt he will
accept whatever the Father may per
mit to come to him. He is not to pour
his own cup, and say that he will do
thus and so; nor Is he to bury himself.
This is beautifully pictured In the wa
ter baptism. There the candidate gives
himself Into the hands of the adminis
trator, and submits his will to that of
the other. Symbolically he says, "Lord,
into Thy hands I commit myself. Take
me, bury me in whatever way Thou
dost think best"
Figuratively, the Lord lays hold on
one thus consecrated and lets hi in
down Into death; and It Is of His pow
er that this one will be raised up to
the perfect life beyond the veil to
glory, honor and Immortality, sharing
IIi3 resurrection, the First Resurrec
tion. But only those who are burled ln
the likeness of His death will be raised
in Ills likeness. Thus this picture of
baptism corresponds exactly to the
Scripture which reads, "I beseech you.
brethren, by the mercies of God, that
je present your bodies a living sacri
fice, holy, acceptable unto God your
reasonable service."
The Pastor went on to explain that
this is something more than merely
the Golden Kule, which calls only for
justice, not sacrifice. Those who drink
of the cup of Christ must ignore self
and its preferences. They must sub
mit to injustice for the sake of Christ;
they must sacrifice also. If they suf
fer with Him they shall also reign with
Him; and the sufferings of the present
time are not worthy to be compared
with the glory which shall be revealed
in the Lord's saints.
Tho Importance of the Symbol.
Pastor Itussell considers the sym
bolic baptism of great importance. He
acknowledged that great confusion ex
ists among Christian people on this
subject but holds that the real bap
tism of the human will into the Diviuo
will Is the all-important matter. But
whoever knows about the true symbol
and then refuses to be immersed, there
by proves that he is not fully dead to
his own will. Those who have never
perceived thut Immersion In water is
the only true symbol are not under ob
ligation, however. Thus it has been
with many true Christian people who
have had the real Immersion Into
Christ But when these come to seo
the matter as the Scriptures present It
they are responsible according to their
knowledge.
Contrary to his custom, the Fnstor
here digressed and related his personal
experience In regard to baptism. Born
of Christian parents, he had been sprin
kled in Infancy. But when, years after
ward, he came to see the subject in the
light of the Scriptures, he had a se
vere fight with himself before he be
came obedient to the Word. Excuse
after excuse presented Itself to hi
mind people would think him a turn-
coat, etc. Finally the matter so trou-
bled him that he settled it once for all
ln favor of what lie savr was right
the PIal teaching of the Scriptures.
Tho point the speaker made was that
If he had refused to be obedient in this
respect, it would have meant the stop-
page of his progress in the way of the
Lord. He needed to take that very
step to prove that his heart was right
If he had not done so, his refusal
would have proven that his will as a
human being was not wholly dead.
When he saw this point clearly, he
gave all over to the Headship of tho
Lord.
The Tastor believes that many of
the Lord's people are stumbling in
Just the same way. He did not wish
to be understood as meaning that wa-
ter baptism is tho all-important thing;
for he pointed out that saintly people
nave not oeen immersea win bo
In the Kingdom, because they did the
best they knew and rendered prompt
obedience to all tuat boa snowed them.
But as soon s any consecrated child
of God is show something more than
he has hitherto seen, the responsibility
of that greater knowledge rests upon
hhn; and there is no escape from It
A failure then to obey as to the syni
loI would mean a withdrawal of tho
sacrifice from the altar.
Dead With Christ.
The Tastor declared that all who
make full consecration of themselves
to the Lord to be dead with Him, to
be joint-sacrificers with Him in the
service of the Truth, are to reckon
themselves as separate and distinct
from the world around them. They
covenant to die to earthly things, and
may thereafter use these only as serv
ants of the New Creation. As New
Creatures in Christ they become olive
through the Itedecmer to Heavenly
hopes and prospects, alms and ambi
tions. In harmony with this thought
their lives should be new separate
and distinct from those around them.
Baptism Into death, he. maintained,
is the real baptism for the Church,
even as it was for our Lord and Head.
Water baptism, he repeated, is only
the symbol, or picture. Those called
and accepted of God, who are willing
to drink of the Redeemer's cup and to
be baptized with His baptism, will in
deed be granted the privilege, and will
be J assisted in carrying out their
heart's desire in this matter. Those
who shall be immersed into death
shall also have a share in the First
Resurrection and in the glories of the
coming Kingdom, for wldch we pray.
Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be
