when he said that the deceased was
a pioneer and of pioneer stock, for
her lineage dated back to the Har

counted as on of her ancestors. A
pretty etory is told of the great-great-

among the foreparents of this lady
In a party migrating from Keutucky.
There were a uumber of families on
two flat boats, making their way
down the Ohio river, the stock and

Getting: Off The Red Side.
There are many people who have
a horror of debt, and Justly so for
"The borrower ix servant to the j
lender," therefore to be a borrower, i
Is to be in servitude. The banker ha?
a saying, that when one has over
drawn bin account that he Is on
the red side.
The notice reads, come in and ad
just this account at once. The--burden
of the leeon text for this time
Ik getting our debts liquidated. We
are all Indebted to some one and we
should do all possible to liquidate
this debt. God in the beginning
when he created the world, made is
a very Paradise for the dwelling
nre for rr-ij-. Tor as the Son said
In John 3:13 "For God so loved the
world, that he gave his only begot
ten Son. that whoaoever helieveth
in him should not perish but have
everlasting life." When this is so we
are not surprised that the Father
should make this earth a paradise
for mans abiding place. When the
Devil saw tha. man was the beloved
of the Father and was hapry In his
new home, he went and f.attered
Eve and caused her to disobey the
command of the Father and eat of the
tree In tbe midst of the garden,
which it has been said that in the
day which you eat of this you shall
surely die. But the Devil said you
will not surely die.
The Devil a Liar From the Begin iag
The Devil's stock in trade waa un
truth and misrepresentation, and to
create discord where happiness and
harmony prevailed was his object.
Therefore he said You Shall not sure-
lv die and Eve fell and with her
Adam and the human race. They j
were cat from the Garden, and be- I
came outcasts, and as they had for- J
felted that right to the garden, cf
life and were under condemnation.
they were In a etate when they could j
not expect reconciliation but still j
the Father's love followed them and i
during tne over four thousand year3
they were claimed by the love, and i
still they refused to be obedient. At
human race was most corrunt and r
disobedient and continually growing
Christ Sert to Eeclain.
Then was exempliSed the test
quoted above demonstrating the love
of the father, in sending his Son to
earth to be born of woman and r.
the end to be the Saviour of man
kind. Je?us Christ was and is tfc-?
Saviour of minkind. for did not he
tell Martha when she said Lord
Hardst Thou been here my Brother
had not died. The Master said unto
her Thy brother shall rise again.
Her faith while stronger than
many wa3 not equal to the declara
tion of the Lord, for she answered
Yea I know he shall rise at the re
serection at the last day. Then d: I
Jesus say unto her. and by the way
to all the human race. you. I ar.d the
other felloy. "I am the reservation
and the life, whosoever believeth on
me though he were dead y
he live, and who liveth a
lieveth on me shall never die. Mary
believeth thus this?"
Mary answered. Yea Lord. I be
lieveth that thou are the Chrin
which should come into the world.
We Owe It All to Hun.
When Christ gave his life for the
human race he purchastxl them and
their pardon, but h made a pro
vision where by we could attain
restoration in the graces of the
Father and himself and that was by
obedience to his commands which
are not grevlous for did he not say
"My yoke is easy and my burden, is
light."
Now we can attain eternal Ijfe.
a put fourth in the Golden Text cf
the Hible, ho.oever believeth on
Him. What doe that believing on
Him mean, to believe that there is
the Christ the Son of the Living God.
and in a way that we are going to do
the things which he require. We
cannot believe and not do the things
which he required, for if we say we
do believe and do not do the thing
we are making ourselves a liar, and
are more like the adversary than
the Christ. We cannot be like the
boy who aald about hi father, when
the minister asked. Is your father
a curtstlanT e said tne- ooy out
he is uot working at it now.
We have to look at the real livest
thing in the world. Christianity, or
we have none of it. Our faith U
