Not far the present, which marks

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
