of prosperity and good nature.
"Is that rrank O Connell?" cried the
little man.
"It is." said O'Connel 1. trying in vain
to see the man's feature distinctly in
the dim lizht.
Tlie little man came into the room,
took off his heavy silk hat and looked
i:p at O'Connell with a qnlzring look
tn his laughing eyes.
"McGinnis:"
"That's who it is! Talkative Mc

Ireland to tike ye by the hand."
The two men sbooh hands warmly.

"Middlin wealthy."
"And what are ye doin In New

and each time destroyed It, it seemed
so clumsy.
The morning after tlie incident fol
lowing Teg's disobedience in going to
the dance and her subsequent rebellion
i:nd declaration of independence found
all the inmates of IJegal Villa in a most
unsettled condition.
Mrs. Chichester and Alartc opened a
discussion as to the latter's business
career.
"Oh. Alaric! There is a way one
way that would save us." said the
mother after Alarie suggested going
to Canada. And she trembled as she
.paused, as if afraid to tell him what
the alternative was.
"Is there, mater? What is It?"
"It rests with you. dear."
"Does it? Very good. Ill do it to
save you and Fthel and the roof:
course I will. Let me hear it."
"Alaric?" she asked in a tone that
suggested their fate hung on his an
swer. "Alarie. do you like her?"
"Like whom?"
'Margaret! Do you?"
"Here and there. She amuses me
like anything at times. She drew a
map of Europe once that I think was
the most fearful and wonderful thing
I have ever seen. She said it was the
way Ler father would like to see Eu
rope. She had England. Scotland and
Wales in Germany, and the rest of the
map was Ireland. Made me laugh like
anything."
"Oh. if you only could!" she sobbed.
"Could?" What?"
"Take thnt little wayward child into
your life and mold her."
"Ilere. one moment, mater; let me
pet the full force of your idea, ion
want me to mold Margaret?"
"Yes. dear."
"Ha!" he laughed uneasily, then said
decidedly: "No. mater, no. I can do
roost things, but as a molder oh. no:
Let Ethel do it if she'll stay, that is."
"Alaric. my dear. 1 mean to take her
really into your life "to have and to
bo'id.""' And she looked pleadingly at
him through her tear dimmed eyes.
"But I don't want to hold her, ma
tt i!" reaoned her son.
"it would De tne saving or us ail!
she insisted significantly.
Dut Alaric was still obtuse.
"Now. how would my holding and
molding Margaret save us';"
The old lady placed her cards delib
erately on the table as she said senten
tiously: "She would stay with us here If you
were engaged to her!"
The shock had come. Ills mother's
terrible alternative was now before
him in all its naked horror. A shiver
ran through him. The thought of a
man with a future as brilliant as his
being blighted at the outset by such a
misalliance!
lie felt the color leave his face.
"Engaged! Don't, mother, please."
lie trembled again. "Heavens engag
ed to that tomboy!"
There was no escape. Mrs. Chiches
ter held him firmly.
"She will have .".ooo a year when
she is twenty -one 5.000 a year 3,000"
of the very best!"
She took him in her arms and press
ed his reluctant and shrinking body to
her breast. "Think what it would mean,
dear your family preserved and a
brand snatched from the burning:"
"That's just it. It's all right saving
the family. Any cove'll do that at a
pim h. But I do not see myself ns a
'brand snatcher.' Besides. I am not
altogether at liberty."
"What?" cried his mother.
"Oh. I've not committed myself to
anything. But I've been three times
to hear that wonderful woman speak
once on the platform! And people are
beginning to talk. She thinks no end
of iue. Sent me a whole lot of stuff
last week 'advanced literature' she
calls it- I've got 'em all upstairs.
Wrote every word of 'cm herself. Nev
er saw a woman who cantalk and
write as she can. And outside of all
that I'm afraid I've more or less en
couraged her. And there you are the
whole thing In a nutshell."
Alarie thought for a few moments.
The result of this mental activity
took form and substance as follows:
"She is not half bad looking at times
when she's properly dressed."
"I've seen her look almost beauti
ful!" cried Mrs. Chichester.
Alaric suddenly prew depressed.
"Shocking temper, materf and he
shook bis head despondently.
"The woman who loves always
obeys!" cried Lis mother.
"Ah. there we have it!" And Alari?
sprang up and faced the old lady.
"There we have it: - Does she love me?"
Mrs. Chichester looked fondly at her
only son and answered:
"IIow could she be near you for the
last month and not love you?"
-Alaric nod. led:
"Cf course there ts thnt. Now. let
tDe see just get a solid grip on the

Pastor spoke in part as follows:
The resurrection to whieh the Apos
tle here refers is n"t that great change
from hi'.iiian to spiritual eonditieus of
which, he si'eaks elsewhere, but a res
urrection already becun iu tlie hearls
aud the minds of the New Creatures
in Christ. We must n t lose sight f
the fact, hov.ever. that il:i is ji.-iit
and parcel of the saiue resurreet ion.
It begins here; it ends there. Whoev -r
dots not iK'gin that resurrect ii n here
will not end it there: whoevtr begins
it Lore and fails to go on will not jr-.-t
it there. Only by get;i:i' a comprehen
sive view of the matter can we pt r
ceive the fail import t;f tl.e Bible teach
ing on the subject.
There is something vt-ry definite in
the Bible. Perhaps in times past we
failed to get it- leal import bc au-o
we supposed that it was a Book of
such deep mysteries that it could be
understood oniy by the clergy. Con
sequently if a sane thought rcie-cti!:g
the Bible came into our minds, we it
it away as untrue because so reason
able. But we are beginning to see that
God's Book is the laost reasonable and
logical ever written. And the fa t
-that, although written by many dilTi r
ent writers at various times in the
world's Li.-iory, it is the ni' .-t reason
able of books and contains the most
wond. rful st'-ry, brings conviction, that
it is indeed the Word of God.
Yet much f tills Word b:is been hid
den b'vause of the error and misunder
standing which the Adversary foisted
uion us during the Dark Ages. As
we get the eyes of our understanding
ope::, we see that the Bible teaches
what to movt of us is a certainty that
everywhere are death. sieknes. s r
row. weakness, mental, moral and
I Iiysic
-a!. "By ore man's disobedience
sin entered into the world, and death
as a rer-ult of sin: and so death pass,-i.
upon :.U men: for ail have sinned."
says the Apostle. t.Ronians .":12. Rut
this thought that death is the penult;,
of sin is everywhere rejected: and wt
are told that eternal torment is the
penalty fcr sin. Both common sen so
and the Bible are thus discredited.
The farts are that death is the great
enemy of the human ra.-e: that death
is here because of sin; and that un
less God helps us there would be uc
future life. Plain, simile, reasonable,
is the Bible proposition: Death is uin
all mankind; and God's provision is
that all shall be recovered from th
death sentence. Death came throu-k
one man's disobedience and is to be set
aside throuuh another man's obodlem e

first nian who sinned. 1 Cor. 15:21. "2
But. as the Apostle points out. it was
necessary not o:ly that Christ should
die for mankind, but that He should
rise from the dead for our justifica
tion. (Romans 4:24. 125.) For Christ
merely to die on our behalf and then
to make no application of His merit
for us would leave us in as terrible a
condition as before. Therefore God
has-provided not only that our Lord
should die. but that He should also Ik
raised from the dead. The time set
apart for the world's recovery is the
period of Messiah's glorious Reign
when lie will deliver mankind from
the bondage of corruption which cam
through one man's disobedience.
The Church Risen With Christ.
Our text speaks of the Church as
though separate from the world. Else
where the Bible declares that th
whole world lies iu the Wicked One.
The world are still under condemna
tion. But the Apostle explains that
the Church have escaped the condem
nation that is upon the world. Wt
hare not gotten free from the weak
nesses of the flesh and the death con
dition. but we have esc.-iped the con
demnationthe legal phase, of the sub
ject. God is taking this Church clas?
out of the world, to be made partakers
of the very highest rank of spirit ni
ture the Divine. 2 -refer. 1:4. Thir
is the promise rind" to God's. people
the Church of the First-borns, whost
names are written in Heaven.
"If ye be risen with Christ." Thf
Apostle d-"s not inti-nate that this If
a thing" future. All who belong to thf
tru-? Church of Christ sh-.ull kno
that t'cey have this resurrection. Biv
In order to be risen with Christ w
must be dead ivith flirx C Timotjy
2:11.) Whoever shares His death will
also share His resurrection. We must
walk in His steps. (1 Peter 2:21.)
Our Lord declared that He came not
to do His own will, but the will of the
Father, who sent Him. (John C:.JS.)
So we must do whatever the Father
desires us to do; we must not desire
our own way. We should seek to
know God's will respecting our body
what we shall eat, what we shall wear,
wlnt we shall say. w hat we shall do.
To do so wiil give us what the Apostle
calls "the spirit of a sound mind."
Before we became the Lord's chil
dren we did not think properly along
these lines, hike the Gentiles we were
thinking of what would satisfy our
Bp; -eiites. Now we " think of what
would enable us best to serve the hord
and what is best for our welfare.
Since we have coine into God's family,
all our talents are His; the more we re
alize how few are our talents and our
opportunities, and how little we are
worth to the !rd and everybody else,
the more anxious we shall be to make
the most oat of everything "we have
mental, moral, physical.
Dead to Self and Self-Will.
We are to have in mind also that we
are to be dead to self-will. Our will
is that which we wish, and our wishes
represent our personality, if we yield
our own wishes to another, we give up
our will to that extent. If -we give
up our wiil to some church denomina
tion, then it bei-omes our head, our
niier. If wo give up our talents, etc..
to some society or order, it takes suier
vision of our affairs and our time. God
is purposing to have an Order the Or
der of the Royal Priesthood.
Soyje of us wear what is known as
a Cross and Crown Fin. The cross
represents our faith in the death of
Christ and our desire to walk in His
steps; the crown represents the reward
of glory, honor, and immortality; and
the wreath around the cross and
crown represents the Restitution bless
ings coming to the world of mankind.
A brother who had on one of these
pins was asked what degree he had.
"The degree of the Royal Priesthood."
be replied. All of ;od's iieople are
odd Fellows iu the sense that they are
different from the world. Tiny are
Masons in that they are of the Tem
ple class, whose Chief Comer-Stone is
the Ird Jesus Christ. This Royal
Temple is built on the foundation of
the Twelve Apostles; and we. as liv
ing stones, are being built into that
Temple, w hich by and by will be glori
ous. 1 Peter 2:4-10.
Invariably God s things have the pri
mary thought. The world has more or
less copied after these thines, but they
do not see the beauty as we do. We
have no quarrel with anybody. We
are simply on God's side, the true side;
and so far as others h.-rve the Truth,
they ;;re with. us. Otherwise they are
avainst us. Just as it was respecting
our Lord, so it has le-cn with all the
Body of Christ, the Church there has
been a division of the people, some
seeing more, some less. John t:l.
But God's work goes on steadily,
grandly. He is finding these precious
memUrs of The Christ. In one pic
ture they are represented as jewels. In
another as living stones, in a third ns
a Royal Priesthood. "The Lord kuow
eth them that are His." We do not
1 kuow-who they are. All that we can
do is to assit and leave the rest to the
I-rd. He makes no mistake.
The Power of Christ's Resurrection.
In order to share iu the First Resur
rection with Christ, we must share in
His death. I remind you of what St.
Paul s.iid. He hud been discussing the
glorious things of the Kingdom, and
expressing his opinion that all things
in the world were not worthy of con:
-ideration in comparison with it. He
declared, "I count all things but loss,
that I may win Christ and be
found in Ilim." (Philippians .".: 0.)
Us desired membership in the Body of
Christ.
The word Christ means anointed;
Jesus is the Head of The Christ, aud
the Church are the members. God is
raising up a great Anointed One. He
raisl up Jesus first, and gave Him to
be the Head over the Church which is
His Body. Throughout the Gosiel Age
God lias been raising up the member:;
of The Anointed: and through the
AiostIe He has said that all things are
to be counted as loss and dross in com
parison to that wonderful privilege of
being members of The Christ: for to
Christ God promised the Kingdom and
glory, honor, immortality.
Jesus has already entered into His
glory and sat down with the Father
This does not signify that literally He
has sat down in Heaven, but that lie
has entered into that glorious rest of
which the Apostle siaks. (Hebrews
4:'j. He is at the Father's right baud
the place of chief favor with God.
Next to the Father Himself is our
Lord Jesus Christ. The Master has
promised that His faithful followers
shall sit at -His right band, aud share
fu His glory as joint-heirs la His in
heritance. I Peter 1:4, 5.
After mentioning these matters and
declaring that be counted all earthly
things as loss and dross, the Apostle
explains that be was looking forward
to a lesurrection with Christ, that nc
might share in Christ's glory. (Philip
pians 3:10.) What deprivation will not
men endure iu order to attain earthly
honors political, financial and social'
Thev do not concern themselves par
ticularly about the amount of labor
and money expended if only they csd
get the honor. The Apostle, taking
the viewpoint of God. says. How small
ail these things look when I compart
them with the privilege of becoming
a joint-heir with Jesus Christ!
' Then St. Paul declares that he does
! all this that be may win Christ, and
i be fc'tivl In Him a member of the
! B-of Chri?t. th? Church. Just as;
' we -;oi.k cf a board of dir-trs or of
j Ihe btgly'of Congress, so the Church is I
such an organized tody. The Apostle
was anxious to le a member of that
Body of Christ. He Saw that Jesus
had fulfilled the Father's will in all
His experiences; and knowing thus
what the Father is pleased with and
seeing that the Father had exalted our
Lord, the Aiostle desired to follow the
Master. So he says, "Thnt I may know
Ilim and the jwwer of His resurrec
tion" experience that grand resurrec
tion, be "changed In a moment, in the
twinkling of an eye." Since flesh and
blood cannot inherit the Heavenly
Kingdom, therefore all the Body of
Christ must undergo the wonderful
transforming power of the First Res
urrection. 1 Corinthians 15:4i-55.
Fellowship of Christ's Suffering.
St. Paul knew that he could not en
ter' into Christ's resurrection unless
he entered into Christ's death. Only
those who would suffer with Christ
could reign with Ilim. This knowledge
was what made St. Taul s different;
from others of bis day. We look back
and see what a wonderful man he was
how Christ's character shone in his
words and deeds, how much lie was
filled with the Master's words and dis
Iosition. The same admonition is given us,
that we should "follow Ills stei-s." In
proportion as we become dead to the
world, dead with Christ, in that pro
portion we become risen with Him.
But there is a difference between our
case and thrt of Jesus. He was es
pecially born, as the Bible emphasizes;
and He eouid not have tx-en our Savior
if He had not been. To deny this fact
would be to deny the Ransom. Who
ever denies that Jesus enme into the
world a perfect human lHng I de
nying the whole Plan of Salvation.
His life did not come from Father Ad
am, but was transferred from a higher
plane. He left the glory which lie
had with the Heavenly . Father, and
humbled Himself to become a man.
He was able to do the Father's will. No
sin debarred Him from Divine favor.
But all of us were bom in sin; Gd
had declared Adam and his posterity
unfit for everlasting life and Divine
fellowship.
At the age of thirty years our Lord
presented Himself to the Father in
consecration. The Father accepted the
sacrifice, and manifested His accept
ance in the Imirtation of the Holy
Spirit. Then, having received the be
getting of the new nature, our Lord
was counted a New Creature. There,
at Jordan, He died, in the sense of
giving up His life as a human being;
and there He began the new life.
From the time He made His Covenant
of Sacrifice He was a New Creature.
During the three aud one-half years
of His ministry, which culminated at
Calvary. Jesus was not living accord
ing to the world. He was living a
hither life. During that time His sac
rifice was satisfactory to the Father;
and liecause of this, the incense of His
offering entered into the antitypical
Most Holy and covered the Mercy
Seat. Therefore, w hen He died at Cal
vaiT. there was laid up for Him the
blessing which He received on the
third dav thereafter. Because He had
nroved faithful during the three and
one-half years of His anointing of the
Holy Spirit, the Father raised Him
from the dead, and exalted Him far
above angels.
The experiences of the Church are
somewhat similar. From the time that
we 'surrender our wills and liegin the
sacrificial life, we are dead 'with Ilim
Then it is for us to live the new life
dead according to the flesh and alive
toward God. dying daily and living
daily. Our resurrection Is going ou
moment by moment, year by year, un
til our trial is finished. Then we shall
be rew.1rded according to our faithful
ness from the time we came into God s
family from the time we received the
begetting of the noly Spirit and -were
recognized as sons of God, risen with
Christ, to wtdk in newness of life.
Before we came into the family of
God we were merely outcasts. But
when we heard that God had provided
for the redemption of our race through
the death of His Son and was willing
to receive us, it was Good Tidings to
ns. God has arranged that when we
make a full consecration of our hearts
to Christ He accepts us. Imputes to us
His merit and advocates for us. This
will continue until the full number of
the Elect shall have been found: for
as there is a definite number of lones
in the human lody not one more or
one less if the body is perfect so there
is a positive number of members in the
Body of Christ. The Bible tells us that
nil ilis memlMTS were written In the
r.ook the Book of God's Wisdom,
when lie planned the matter in the
beginning. As we are accepted of
nim. our names are written In the
Lamb's Book of Life.
God has a wonderfnl Tlan, and we
fall in love with it as we come to un
derstand it; for it is the lovable Plan
of a lovable God. How much the Mes
sage of the Bible has changed Pince
we have come to know of the things
leyond the Veil and have received the
understanding which God has given!
Surely we can truly love Him. and give
Him our wiole lives, and show our
loyalty to nim by doinsr His will to
the best of our ability. In comparison
to the glory, honor and Immortality
which is offered to tis, the things of
the present time are not worthy of
note. But this high reward we shall
receive only on the terms laid down.
The resurrection process goes on until
we shall have finished our course in
death.
"All thlnrs are yours"' What a
grand thought! things present, things
to come: earthly things. Heavenly
things. What a beautiful arrangement
God has made! "As it is written. Eye
hath not ceen. nor ear heard, neither
have entered into the heart of man.
