Local News It is astonishing to see how many small but nice looking houses are be ing tucked into the hills back of the machine shops. You have to go on an investigating tour occasionally to find out how much there is of Platts- mouth. Greenwood, Neb. Editor Herald Last Wednesday - aftemoor. Maurice Titzgerald rode into town apparently suffering from a fractured skull, and told some of the folks that he had had a difficulty with one Daniel Mc Neal and that he had shot him (Mc Neal). Thereupon some of the boj-s started for the place along Salt Creek where Fitzgerald said the fracas had taken place, but before they reached the spot, John Montgomery had7ound the wounded mnn. It appears the man McNeal, was hunting on some land which Fitzgerald had claimed to have charge of, and he (Fitzgerald) ordered McNeal off, but McNeal not complying as soon as Fitzgerald wish ed, he went to him and the quarrel commenced, in which McNeal received two balls from the revolver of Fitz gerald, one in the back of the head which fortunately glanced, and did not enter the skull, ar-d me in the breast, which we fear will end his earthly ex istence. After John Montgomery had taken the unfortunate man home he came over to town and ordered the constable to arrest Fitzgerald, which was done. Sheriff Hyers was tele graphed for and arrived here Thurs day morning at 2 o'clock, and took Fitzgerald into his charge. On Thursday the preliminary examination was held before Justice Mathias, who after a careful investigation, commit ted the prisoner for trial at thejiext term of the district court. Yours truly.

Adam's Disobedience Alienated His Posterity From God Jesus' Obedi ence Secured Opportunity of Return to Divine Favor 'Justification -and Sanctification New Creation Tested as to Loyalty and Obedience The Messiah of Many Members Riches of Love Divine, All Love Excelling. fPASTOfc gUSSELpj Toronto, Out., July IS. Pastor Rus sell spoke here to day on the text, "The Father Him self loveth you." (John 1 C : 2 7.) Among other things he said: This is one of the most wonder ful texts in the Bible. "Whoa we think how great God is and bow little man is, when we consider that sin has bhnted out in very large meas ure whatever there was of God's Im age iu humanity, we are constrained to wonder what this text can mean. We are not surprised that the Father loves the angels, who are perfect, with out blemish in any sense of the word. Hut how could lie love mankind? We read, "God no loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son. that whosoever believeth in Him might u"t Ierish, bnt have everlasting life." (Jolru 3:1G.) This text tells of some kind of great love that God had for the whole world of mankind. God's Love For the World. God had a sympathetic love for hu manity, not an afTftionate love; for there was nothing in fallen man wor thy of Divine love. He felt just as we would feel for some poor injured dog or cat we would bind up its paw and give it soniethinss to eat. So Gh1"s sympathy for the world takes not ire of the fact that mankind have gotten into a great deal of trouble throujrh the curse which came upon, Father Adam through disoliedienee to his Creator's command. Divine mercy and sympathy have gone ont toward our race to 6iuh an extent that God lias provided a preat Plan of Salvation for mankind. He lias provided the death of our Lord Jesus Christ to le our Redemption-price not to recover us from eternal torture, but from death. Un less we were rescued from that per ishing condition of death, we would have no future life whatever. His first preat step on behalf of man kind turned our dying condition into a sleeping condition. Instead of perish ing as do the brute leasts, men merely fall asleep, to wait for the morninir of the New Disjiensntion. when our Ixrd will call forth those sleepers from the tomb. (John 5:28, L0.) They will be railed forth to an opjortunlty for res titution to human ierfoeion in a world-wile Paradise a restitution for which God has made provision based in Km the death of our Lord Jesus ' Christ a restitution lifting mankind out of sin. misery and death back to all that was lost iu Eden. St. Peter tells us that this Restitution is men tioned by all the Holy Prophets. (Acts 3:10-23.) In their writings are repeat ed references to the time when nil the willing and obedient shall be brought back into fellowship with God, and all the wicked shall be destroyed in the Second Death. God's Love For the Church. Over and aliove Divine love for man kind in general conies the love men tioned in our text. God so loved the world that He provided for their re demption from sin and death. But to the Church our Lord Jesus says. "The Father Himself loveth you." No one belongs to this class except the saints those in covenant relationship with mm through Christ. (Psalm 50"..) It does not include those who merely have turned from sin to say, "I will not lead a wicked life any longer." To these the Father is pnyins? no atten tion. They are still of the world, still condemned, still children of wrath, even as others; for they have not ta ken the only step which will transfer them Irom leing children of wrath to being children of God. We are not to think of the Ileavenlj Father as exercising no discretion in bestowing His love. If He loves any one, lie loves that person for some reason. So in the character of those to whom our Ixrd Jesus referred there mnst have leen something which con stituted them worthy of the Father's love. The commendable tiling in their character was that they had given themselves to God to do nis will. They had come back into God's fam ily as sons. John 1:12, 13. Adam Forfeited God's Love. Adam had tooii a son of God; but he Binned and forfeited the Father's love. When lie came tinder the sentence of death. "Dying, thou shalt dte. be was cut oft from fellowship with God. lie and all his posterity leeame sinners under the death sentence, unworthy of Divine notice or care. While God has permitted certain blessings to come to mankind the sunshine, the rain and other material favors yet He has kept Himself aloof from our race, and has treated mankind as aliens and stran gers. Their claim upon Elm wa3 for feited when disobedience came in. Since all mankind were born in that condition which would not be pleasing to God, and since the Church are still In very much the same condition, why does the Father love those v.ho Lave given themselves to Him in consecra tion? It is because frum the Bible viewpoint a very great change took place when they came into the family of God. There is only one way back Into harmony and fellowship with the Father. Jesus is the way; for. as the Bible jKivts out, in harmony with the Father's Plan our Lord t'ave Himself sac'i'iticially, with all the rights which He had as a man; and in due time the merit of His sacrifice is to be applica ble to Adam and all his race. Christ's death is the satisfaction-like lor the sin of the whole world. An J although it has not yet been appropriated for the whole world, God is inviting a cer tain class to come out of the woria iu advance of the remainder of our lace. Of these our Ixrd said. "Tluy are not of the world, even as I am not of the world." John 17:10. Justification the First Step. Those. disciples whom Jesus was ad dressing had come out of the world. They had left everything that they Utiht be His pupils and do just the rij-ht thing in the right way. Thus to be children of God was their chief aim and ambition. The tirst t-top in this direction is justifioation-tlie l-iug made ri'ht. lust. Just i:il iui and righteousness mean the sj.me thin they are different ways of expressing the mims thought. We must le made rkrht with God before lie will deal with us at all. God Las permitted six great Thousand-Year Days for the world to have experience with sin and death. Dur ing all this time He has let mankind see what they could do to he!p them selves out of sin and death conditions. We have made a sorry failure of it The wisest people in the world have Ikm-u unable to deliver themselves from the bondage of sin and death tjat is uin the whole world. God's Xhw: for delivering mankind is the preat Sab bath of the Lord our God, when Jesus and His Church will be associated iu the blessing of all the families of the earth. During luan's Work Week the race has had a severe lesson of what sin is nnd what it will do. As we l'ok over Into Europe, w see what evil passions can accomplish. Yet t lie savagery there is only ltegiiiiiing; it will be far worse. With all our preaching nnd teaching, with all our surgery and nied Icine, we have not bettered our race very much. When we perceive that sin has accomplished this evil work. we dread sin; we realize that it is the most terrible thing that can lefall any one. When the whole world come t realize the true situation, men will know that the entrance of .sin is the worst thing that cau happen. The Beginning of the New Creation. According to the Divine Program for human salvation, the Lord Jesus Christ was to do a sacrificial work for the race; next the Church was to le gath ered out from amongst mankind, and then the Millennial Age was to begin. When our Lord Jesus gave His life freely and unreservedly to the Father in consecration at Jordan, God started a New Creation, by begetting the Son with the Holy Spirit to the Divine na ture. As He was coming up out of the water, the Holy Spirit came upon Him anointing Him to all the glorious work which He is to accomplish as the great King and the great Priest for the world of mankind. When the Father planned this New Creation in connection with human salvation. He arranged that the New Creatures f-hould be those who would give up all their own rights as men, layins everything at His feet, and desiring to know and to do the Divine will. As our Lord was the beginning of the creation of God (Revelation 3:14, the Father wished Ilini to have the highest place in this New Creation. The angels never had such a test of loyalty as came to Jesus; they never laid down life on one plane and passed to a lower plane, as He did. Although they have been loyal in everything which God has asked of them. He did not put this test upon them. When at the beginning of His minis try our Lord, then thirty years of age. gave Himself unreservedly to the Fa ther, saying, "Lo, 1 come (in the vol ume of the Book it is written of Me), to do Thy will, O God," the Father manifested His special love for the Son by anointing Ilini w ith the Holy Spirit, making Him a member of the Divine family on the highest plane of being. Then for three and a half years the Fa ther tested Him, proved II im and found Him worthy to receive the honor, the glory, the iowor, the might. (Revela tion 5:12.1 How we rejoice in our Savior's victory! How we love and admire Him. for the same reason that the Father does! There is something of character there. The Body of the Anointed. The Apostle tells us that there was one feature of God's I 'lan for human salvation which was not made known in the past; that is, the fact that there was to be a Body of Christ not mere ly one individual, but a company. This figure of tqeocn we use when we sneak of the body of Congress, of which the chairman is the bead. So we sjeak of the Body of Christ, of which Christ Jesus Is the Head. God gave Him to be Head over the Church, w hich is Ilis Body. (Kphesians 1:10 L3.) Nobody knew beforehand that The Messiah is to be composed of many members, and that the members were to be selected from amongst mankind. The Jews sim ply exjKeted Messiah to come. They read of the glory, and thought fn!y of the glory and of one jterson. not realiz ing that they themselves would have an opportunity to' le of this Messiah class just what the Jews are still ex pecting. Through St. Paul the Lord tells us that iu this Body of Christ there would be both Jews and Gentiles; and that the twain were to become one New Man, one complete Christ Jesus the Head, and the Church the Body. Ephesians 2:11-10; 4:11-10.) The first members of this Body came from the Jens, to whom the call was first to be madtt, because they were the natural seed of Abraham. God had told Abra ham that He would give the'irst chance to the Jews. It is wonderful u contemplate how many were ready for this call. Probably twenty-five thousand Jews resiKiided quickly to the Gospel Message, thus showing a wonderful condition of consecration to God and His ways. Then the door was thrown open to the Gentiles. There were not many of these ready for the call; and so it has taken eighteen Ifundred years to gath er from amongst the Gentiles enough to complete the exact predestined num ber. If the Gentiles had been as thor oughly consecrated as were the Jews, the required numler might have leen found during the tirst century. But the Gentiles had not had the previous instructions of the Law to assist them, and therefore it has taken a much longer time to take out the proportion ate number. Thus we were called out of the world to l followers of Jesus imited to make the same kind of con secration to God which He made, and to rceive and to manifest the same Holy Spirit the Spirit of anointing. Mrrit Imputed to the Church. During this Gospel Age the Father is calling only those who have the spirit of His Son. whose disiositio was one of faith and obedience. These cannot have the same degree of oltedience be cause their flesh is imperfect; but they can have the same degree as far as the mind, the will, is concerned. We can will to be whatever we like: and God is looking at the wilL He knows far better than we do that we cannot do the things that we would. The Aios tle said, "Yea, I judge not mine own self. He that judgeth me is the Lord." (1 Corinthians 4:3, 4.) St. Paul did not know how much allowance to make for even himself; and we do not know how much allowance to make for ourselves, our ntighlors, our friends, our brothers. Therefore the Lord in structs us not to judge one another; for whatever kind of judgment we mete to others will be the standard of our own judgment. The ability to criticise others mani fests knowledge of just what consti tutes the wrong act or word, and ren ders the one aspiring to le judge the more responsible. We are to render all the help we can to others, and leave the matter of disciplining to the Lord. He alone knows what experiences His people should have. Therefore His peo ple should avoid all judging, condemn ing and fault-finding. Let God do the judging and any, punishing which He may see necessary. In the Millennial Age mankind will simply put away s!n and try to live as nearly right as possible. Then God will bring them up to perfection. But now it is different. To those who come trusting that Jesus has made satisfac tion for their sins, a certain measure of nis merit is Imputed as soon as their consecration has been accepted by the Lord. To illustrate: Suppose the one who offers himself to God in full consecration represent twenty per cent, of a perfect human leing. Since he is willing to jrive his JitMe all to God, our Lord Jesus imputes to him eighty ir cent. Thus the iKrson has the one hundred per cent, representing the perfection of human nature "com plete in Him." Then our Lord, the preat High Priest, takes Ilis own eighty per cent, and the person's twen ty per cent, and presents it all to the Father. Just when we take the same step that Jesus took, then the Father begins to love us with a sreclal love. "Keep Yourselves In the Love of God." The Father's love, which began when He begat us with His Holy Spirit, con tinues with us as long as we are loyal to Him and In proportion to the de gree of our loyalty. Should we at any lime prove disloyal, like Judas IscarioL the Holy Spirit would le taken from us. There is forgiveness for errors made through weakness of the flesh; hut disloyalty to the Lord will-not be forgiven. A sin against the Holy Spir it w ill never have forgiveness. We should all be very careful not to have the Judas spirit not to barter off the Lord or the Truth or the brethren for thirty pieces of silver of any kind. Some t?tray the Lord by saying, "For business reasons I must do thus and so." Others betray the Lord by de claring, "I know that I am not preach ing just as I should that I am slander ing God's character and His Word, as well as misrepresenting myself; but I must make a living." Why should such iersons be .acknowledged before the Father and the holy angels? Cut only t he Lord could determine whether such were worthy of the Second Death. They could not be of the Body of Christ, however. What a wonderful honor is this to w hich God has called us! Those who have been legotten again by Ilis Holy Spirit have been anointed from the day of their begetting to be kings and priests unto God and to reign with Christ a thousand years. There are tribulations identified with all their ex periences; nevertheless, while they have tribulations, they also have the peace of God. w hich passes human un derstanding. As the Bible declares, all things are theirs; for they are Christ's, and Christ is God's. He has promised grace sufficient for every trial; and even the adversities or life shall work together for good to them. Iecause they love God and are the called according to nis purpose.
