We Appreciate the Friends. Not far the present, which marks the friendliness alone but for the true friendship behind the gift, and the givers who were wanting to ex press thpir thankfullness for the com ing of the writer to Murray to act as a teacher of the Christian Bible living the Life I Why are you a democrat? Why are you a republican, or a socialist.! Why are you an American? The mere living here does not make one an American you must be imbued with the ideals of Americanism with the idea of a government in which every citizen is a portion and working to make that government the very best in the world. I There are nominal or passive members of all societies as well as of all churches, but to be a real member of any real government you must be active in the promulgation of the very essence and true principles of that particular thing. People are republicans because they believe in a representative form of government, and they transmit their right and duty to a representa tive to use for the best of all. A democrat is as near the people as possible. In the matter of the demo crat and the republican, they are es sentially the same, and what makes them the more so is because they are true Americans and are believers and workers for the countrv which they i call their native land and their home, j Christians are ionowers oi cnnsi, ov- lievers and practitioners of His teach ings and believers that He is indeed the son of the living God, and as such a God himself, with power given Him by the Father to save the people from their sins and right here arises a phase of salvation which it is worth while to thoroughly understand. j Salvation what is it and for what j purpose? There has been waste and destruction since the world began, but only in one way the peculiar j formation or organization is destroy-j ed, while the primary elements still exist and cannot be destroyed though the formation or organization may be : changed and seemingly arise anew from the smouldering ruins. The self same principles that have existed for j ages continue to ne tne guiding iorces that impel men's actions and achieve ments. In the beginning when God created this old world of ours, he formed it for the habitation of mankind, made a home for him and gave him charge over the elements to a degree that is indeed surprising to the unthinking person, for the Great Jehovah, mas ter of heaven and earth said unto man, "Here is the earth, the sea, the! sky, the ground, the racks, the soil, the animals; make them all subserv ant unto you." And Tor what pur pose was this, but for the glorifying of God himself, who had created them all. God made man the highest of all the creations, equal to the angels of heaven and gave unto him the privi lege of doing as he might choose. God set right and wrong, good and evil before man and told him that as long as he should obey His commands and choose the right, he should be happy and would be provided for and that God would make him His partner. God, when He had created all things, saw that they were very good. But the devil came along and by much the same wiles he practices upon the human race today, tempted man and caused him to fall. Then for years man was a sinner, excluded from the garden that had been his to enjoy, be coming both ungrateful and disobed ient and it became necessary for God to destroy man, as he had forfeited his right to live. So God saved but eight out of all the countless thous ands who then populated the earth. Then with the eight Noah and his wife and their three sons and wives God entered into a covenant that he would never again destroy the world in this manner, spanning the heavens with his bow of promise, that he again and again places in the sky so eu YQQr's Mi) at the PJJ.

The first to be called were Andrew and Peter, two brothers, they being peculiarly endowed with characteris tics which would in their peculiar way be of the best service to the work in the Kingdom of God. Andrew was not a shining light as a preach er, but he was always finding some one to bring to the Master. Peter, imbued with an impulsive nature, blurted out just what he thought, though brave and stern, was a waver ing wave, unstable in most of his ator of heavfn and earth and all things therein and in Jesus Christ, the son of the Savior of the World.
