Ilimull of Brooklyn Tabernacle preach-
vd ttvlcu liuie today In our largest uu-
illtorliim to the "lllble Students' Con-
vi'iillon. " The largo audience Boomed
Jo l > ly Interested , lies said :
Some apply the flrut text only and
Vhlnli of the Divine Program us being
nwre-ly an endeavor to rescue mankind
ffrom Hln mid death to righteousness
nnd eternal life In the present time.
Wuch us liold this view ure much con-
because It must be acknowl-
that compnrntlvcly little ban
done , or Is now being done , for
rain's uplift. After six thousand years
lit In Htlll true tlmt "The whole world
Ifcth In the Wicked One ; " "Darkness

he heathen. " In order to have tiny
confidence at nil In this theory those
who hold It are obliged to greatly low-
r their standards. They ure forced to
hope that God will admit millions ol
unfit people , crude , rude , Ignorant and
wicked to ctcrnul life and happiness
oe | > erchance provide for them Purga
Corlal experiences , to make them tit
righteous and acceptable for life ctcr
wal. As a whole. Christian people arc
* rrcatly bewildered. The tendency o ;
their bewilderment Is toward doubt
Kt/ejvttclHtn / , uthelsm.
Th other view briefly stated Is tha
C.od never Intended the salvation o
< U e world , but merely the salvation o
< he Church , elect according to the fore
Vuxm-ledgc of God through sanctlflcu
tl < vo of the Spirit and belief In tli
Tmtu. Those who hold this theor ;
Siare great confusion also , because I
ocms incomprehensible that Go
xvould make no provision for "thoi
sKindn of millions" of Adam's race , bu
arrange for them to be born In sli
nb.-spen In iniquity , and to go down t
the tomb ( or worse ) without a clea
knowledge of God and his purpose
nnd will respecting them.
As we have already frequently se
forth , both of the described theork
wire erroneous. The Scriptures se
3forth two salvations , entirely sepnral
wnrl distinct. They are different as n
* r < cts time. In that the one "salvntlo
ticKaii to be spokeu by our Lord" i
Bite First. Advent , nud began to bo a ;
BtCcAhlc to his Church at Pentecos
s * xl will wholly cease at his Secon
Oimlng In the end of this Age. Tl
ottwr salvation neither applied befoi
< wr Lord's First Advent nor durlr
r.nls Gospel Age , but will apply to
au.a.ldiid , except the Church , durli
the Millennium the thousand yea
ot the reign of Christ and the Churc
aspecinlly < leslgned for the blessing
Clw ; world and Its uplifting out of s
sind death conditions.
TUi'w two salvations are distinct
dfCVrent as t < > kind , as well as respcc :
ibeir plan of operation. The salvatli
< oC tlic Church during this Gospel A
-tince Pentecost means not only
deliverance from sin and rtoath com

Ky or spiritual plane and not on t
earthly or human plane of existent

THE TWO SALVATIONS
"God 10 loved llie wotM that he gave hit
only begotten Son , tliat whosoever belicvclh in
him ihuutd not I eiuh , but lia\c evetlastmg
l.lr" . ( John in. 16) ) .
"Clintt nlio lovrd the Chuich and gave him-
vll ( or U , thai he might lanctily and clcanie

he might ptcscnl it to himu-ll a glonoui Church ,
not having tl > cl , or wrinkle , or any tucli ihmg ;
but that it idould be holy and without blcni-
ith" ( Epheiiani v , 25-27) ) .
great Mediator of that New Cove- !
mint. The whole world of mankind [
will be fully under his supervision
and government for their blessing ,
their correction In righteousness , their
uplifting out df sin and death con
ditions back , back , back , to all that
was lost In ICden. All of this was
the original design of the Great Cre
ator. All of this will bo outworked
through the Great Redeemer. All of
this was secured or surcttcd by his
death , finished at Calvary ( Hebrews
vll , 'Jlij.
St. Peter , pointing down to that glo-
1 rlous time of the world's blessing , calls
It "times of refreshing and times of
I restitution. " He tells us that all the
holy prophets flescrlbed the blessings
of those restitution times the thou
sand years , the Millennium ( Acts 111 ,
10-21) ) . When once we get the eyes of
our nnderstiindlng opened , we find the
Apostle's words thoroughly corrobo
rated by the Divine records , which de
scribe the wonderful blessings that arc
to come when the earth shall yield her
Increase. Then Paradise Lost shall be
Paradise Itegalncd. Then God will
make his earthly footstool glorious.
Then the blessing of the Lord shall
t make rich and he will add no sorrow
therewith. Then streams shall break
forth in the desert and the wilderness
and solitary places shall be glad. Bui
most glorious will be the change in hu
inanity. The Lord promises to turn tc
the people n "pure message" Insteai
of the contradiction of creeds of hea
thctilsui and Churchlanlty. He prom
Iscs that Satan shall be bound for tha
thousand years , that he may dccclvi
the nations no more. He promise !
that then nil the "blinded eyes shall bi
opened and all the deaf ears shall bi
unstopped" ( Isaiah xxxv , 5 ; II Corlu
thlans Iv.I ) .
Two Salvation * Ona Savior.
Both of these salvations , accordini
to the Bible , result from the death o
Jesus our Redeemer , who died in obedl
ence to the Divine will , "Died , th
Just for the unjust , that he uilgh
bring us to God" ( I Peter 111 , 18) ) . Th
Scriptures clearly show not only th
two salvations , but also two parts o
the Redeemer's work , distinctly sej
aratlng his work for the Church froi
his work for the world. Iirhls deat
10 there was a Divine general provlslo
re for the sins of the whole world and
res
> s special provision for the sins of tli
ill Church. The two thoughts are fn
IK quently brought out in the Scripture
rs One text distinctly declares , "He istl
rsh.
h.of propitiation [ satisfaction ] for our sir
of [ the Church's sins ] , and not for oui
In only , but also for the sins of the who
world. " Ills death constituted the sa
iy Isfactlou price. The Redeemer a ;
ta plied that merit for the Church's sin
iin "for us , " long ago , eighteen centurii
before wo wore born. Only when v
became believers and entered Into
Covenant of sacrifice did we obta
our share in the merit of that gre ;
illhe sacrifice. The world has not yet r
hee. celved Its share of that promlsi
: e. blessing , but the operation of the E
In- vine Plan Is sure and will bring It
lore them "In due time. " ns St. Paul d
rePt Clares ( I Timothy II. 0) ) .
> Pt The drawing and calling of t !
Ith Church has not been along the Hues
IUT human perfection , for all are slnne
on and none righteous or perfect. Ai
'he many of those drawn of the Lord we
sly by nature much more fallen and e !
Ine praved than some who give no e'
in- dence of the work of grace In thi
hearts. The Lord's calling and dra
his Ing seem to be along the lines of jt

blessings of God on the earthly plane
will be for them fully and freely to
use and enjoy. In harmony with the
Divine regulation.
The conditions governing the salva
tion of the Church are wholly differ
ent from those which will appertain
to the world. The Church Is called out
of the world under a Divine Invitation
to suffer with Christ In the present
life and during this Gospel Ago and
then to rolgn with Christ during the
Millennial Age. participating In his
Mediatorial Kingdom for the blessing ,
uplifting , salvation of the world. It
Is not In vain , therefore , that our I.orel
and the apostles. In setting forth the
call of the Church during this Age ,
specified particularly and frequently
the necessity for all who would share
In this salvation to participate with
the Redeemer In Ms sacrificing , in "hit
death , " and consequently participate In
"his resurrection" and In his reign of
glory. Hark to the words. "Be thou
faithful unto death and I will give thee
a crown of life ; " "To him Hint over
cometh will 1 grant to sit with me hi
my Throne ; " "And whosoever doth nol
bear his cross , and come after me
cannot be my disciple" ( Luke xlv. 27) )
Let us remember our Lord's words te
the disciples James nnd John , respect

11 Ho Intimated that the getting to thi
Throne at all , In any place , would 1m
ply great humility nnd self-sacrifice
t He asked the disciples , "Are ye abl
j ( willing ) to drink of the cup that
shall drink of and to be baptizedwit !
the baptism ( Into death ) that I an
baptized with ? " ( Mark x , 38. ) Heark
en again : This cup of which he tell
us we must drink , If wo would sit I
his Throne. Is his iominnnton cup. 1
Is offered , not to the world , but t
his consecrated followers. It is nc
another cup. but "My Cup. " The * ir
vltntlou was. "This is my blood of th
New Testament , which is shed fc
many for the remission of sins. Drin
ye all of it" ( Matthew xxvi. 28 , 27) ) . 1
must all be drunk before the man ;
the world , can get their share of tli
intended blessing through the Nc1
Covenant , which this blood seals. An
only the disciples of Christ , only thos
who desire to walk in his steps , are ii
vlted to drink of that cup. All <
them are so Invited and they wl
drink all of It. None of it will be Ic
for the world during the Millcnnii
Age to drink. It Is n special prlvilei
to drink of this cup. With the drlnl
lug of It gees the special blessing <
the special salvation of this Gosp
t- Age. Except we eat of his flesh ( a

RI6H1 BUCK AT YOU , DOG
H. Stelnkraus Says Mackay's Article
on Prices Was "Silly. " '
Plalnvlew. Neb. . March L Editor ,
News : I regret to bother you uny
further on account of the foolish , high
priced food question , but my frlonds
Insist on hearing an answer to Dr.
Mackny's article of about n week ago.
Everybody thinks It's the silliest thing
they over hoard In connection with the
present food question. Dr. Mnckay
says : "This food question Is a local
one. " Every woman amlyhlld In the
United States knows hotter. Mr. Mac-
kny ought to know that Norfolk prices
arc controlled by Chicago and Chicago
prices by Liverpool , which Is at prcb
out the center of the world's market
! on foods of nil kinds In the civilized
! world. So the food question Is a
world's question and not a local one.
Further on Mr. Mackny says : "Thero
arc countries In this world where meat
Is thrown away mid grain and veg
etables nnd fruit rot on the ground ,
because nobody wants to buy or cat
It. " Wo wonder where this country Is.
Dr. Mackay forgot to tell people where
to go for cheap food. Europe would
certainly go after this country Instead
of buying from us at a high price If '
the doctor would tell where that coun
try Is. lie says further : "The suml
starving people of Europe ought to
move to Africa , which has a better soil
and more healthful climate than Eu
rope , and land can bo bought for a few
cents per acre. " The facts are thai
Europe Is considered to be the besl
continent as far as soil and climate
Is concerned. Africa Is mostly In the
tropic zone and one-third of the con
tlnent Is taken In by the great deser
of Sahara. All desirable parts of Af
rlca. arc fairly well settled by tlili
time. The same Is true of Mongolia
t
Tartnrla. Siberia and Australia. Al
of those countries are our competitor ;
In the world's market. Germany am
England have steamer lines to al
countries on earth nnd buy food wher
they can buy the cheapest , but failei
to find the country where "they thro\
meat away and let grain and fruit re
on the ground. " Mr. Mackay must b
misinformed. Conditions he talk
about existed about fifty years ago I
some parts of the world , but are
thing of the past now.
All countries on earth with a goo
soil and moderate climate are aboi
as heavily settled as the United State
If Mr. Mackny wants to point to com
tries for a new opening , why don't li
point to our western states. Bettc
see the world first , Mr. Mackay , an
then talk.
Yours truly.

TWO ECCENTRIC DAKOTANS.
"Big Colonel" nnd "Little Colonel" Die
in County Hospital.
Deadwood , S. D. , March. L Within
forty-eight hours of each other , two
old time rescmlcnts , both Inmates of
the county hospital and each of them
widely known In this section as ec
centric characters , passed away. They
were Colonel Edward Froggett and
Colonel James Hull , known at the IIOK-

, was an orator born to lead both the
I republican and democratic parties and
"requently addressed political gather-
ng In this county , sometimes for the
g. o. p. and on other occasions for the
Jeffersonians.
Colonel Hull has resided In Dead
wood since 187G and until three years
: tgo when his condition made It 1m
t peratlve for him to enter the countj
Infirmary , he was a familiar figure
around the streets. Attired in a fadet

regular pilgrimages Into back yardi
and procured his meals from refusi

BUYING RIGHT-OF-WAY.
Attorney Davis and E. A. Jackson Now
Purchasing Right-of-way.
Dallas. S. D. , Fob. 28. Judge C. A.
Davis of Fairfax , the local attorney
for the Northwestern railroad , and
E. A. Jackson of this city and presi
dent of the Western Townslto com
pany , are busily engaged in the pin-
chasing of the railroad right-of-way
across Trlpp county for the North
western railroad. U Is not thought
that this will take n great deal of
time nnd ns soon ns this Is completed
It lu quite probable that work on con
structlon will bo commenced. They
are experiencing very little dlfllculty
In making satisfactory settlements
with those who own land through
which the survey passes.
Higher Freight Rates.
Will Norfolk freignt rates go still
higher as .1 result of the plans now on
fool of the Chicago-Omaha railroads
to make n general Increase In com
modity rates ?
Concerning the situation the Omaha
Bee says :
Omaha shippers are intensely arous <
eel by the plans ot the Chlcago-Omahn
railroads to make a general Increase
of commodity rates as set forth by the
Bee. Realizing what such a move
means to the commercial and Indus
trial life of Omaha , shippers propose
to resist the action In some organlzee
nnd effective manner.
They see in the move nothing more
than rank discrimination against Oma
ha for the one purpose of swelling th <
already gigantic revenues of the rail
roads.
Many of the big jobbers would no
believe that the railroads expected ti
raise the rates of some of the com
modifies because of the ample revenu
they are already receiving.
