THE SOUL MATE FOLLOWED.
Of Course , the Girl Has a Few Millions ,
Which Is Added Inducement.
New York , April 2 , Wouldbo eoul-
mates and alllnltles from nil over the
United States are deluging Miss An *
tolnetto Elizabeth Gazzain with letters.
Miss Gazziun is the two million-dollar
heiress who lives alone with a rotlnuo
of servants In her mansion near Corn-

ceived more than a thousand letters.
She said today she would search un
til the real alllnlty was found. "He
must not ask mo to wear cornet * , tight
clothing or high heeled Hhocs. Neither
must ho ask me to wear gowns that
nro too ducolctto. I may wear them

AN OLD BOOT THEIR BANK.
Jewels and Money Valued at $1,200
Found In a Cobbler's Shop.
New York , April 2. The Cllnde-
rella test as a last resort showed who
owned a shoo loft at a Brooklyn cob
bler's with as much gold and Jewelr >
In It as If it had been filled by the
fairy godmother. Dr. Anthony Antor-
untl was the only one who could dis
play the required dimensions.
As Doctor and Mrs. Anterantl went
to the theater on Saturday evening
the question arose as to what should
be done with the jewels to insure
their safety. After having taken her
diamonds out of the safe deposit vault
to wear that evening , Mrs. Anteranti
changed her mind. She had a pre
sentiment that something was going
to happen to them.
Doctor Anterantl did not remember ,
but as his receipts that day had beer *
very large It occurred to him that it
would bo just as well for them to put
both jewelry and cash In some safe
hiding place. lie suggested an old
shoe. She found that one of'her own
shoes would not do. It wouldn't hold
half the money and jewelry , which al
together was valued at $1,200. Then
she tried one of her husband's boots.
The vault In the toe engulted all of
the valuables and she stuffed In a
newspaper to keep them In piact.
The shoe was then placed under the
bed , and the Anterantls started off
to the playhouse with their minds at
ease. Shortly after they had left ,
Maria Entellu , Mrs. Anterantl's maid ,
remembered that she was to take
a pair of the doctor's shoes to the
cobbler's. She looked under the bed ,
saw a pair that seemed to need at
tention , and carried thorn away.
As soon as she got home , Mrs. An-
torantl looked under the bed. The
bootfull of Jewels had disappeared.
Maria Entella heard a scream and
ran into her mistress1 room. It took
a very few minutes more for the An-
tcrantis to reach the shop of the cob
bler.

FROM CONSERVATION MEET.
Dr. J. H. Mackay of Norfolk Helped
Write the Resolutions.
Dr. J. II. Mackay has returned from
Lincoln where he attended the state
I conservation meeting. Ho wrote a
; good share of the resolutions which
. wore adopted.
Publicity , through lectures , on meth
ods of conserving public health , a new
road law and a state general of high
ways , an accurate census of the Indus
trial resources of thu state and the
setting aside of a part of every farm
In the state for the planting of trees
are some of the Important resolutions
adopted unanimously :
We. the members of this first con
servation congress held in Nebraska ,
recognizing the fact that the future
well being of our people entirely depends -
ponds upon the proper usu and care
of the natural resources of the state
and also Its Importance of the preser
vation of thu vitality and vigor of Its
Inhabitants , and that their intelligence
and comfort Is carefully controlled by
Hie education and economic fertility of
thu state.
Resolved , That from the fact that
agriculture being our basic Industry ,
we recognize that the proper usu and
are of Its lands within Hie borders
of our state Is of primal Importance
and to the end that the fertility of
our soil shall be maintained and nour
ished , wo pledge our earnest effort
that by both word and deed the doc
trine of conservation of soli fertility
shall bo brought to the attention of
our people and the absolute necessity
of Its being practicable.
Believing , that to put to the fullest
usu the lands within our borders , the
people who live upon them and those
who dwell In our towns and cities ,
must be vigorous and healthy , both
bodily and mentally , urgu that it Is
the paramount duty of the state to
protect thu lines and safeguard the
health of Us Inhabitants , Thousands
of avoidable deaths occur annually
from violence , disease , and negligence
that arc wholly preventable. Thu so
lution of our streams and watersheds ,
tliu cutting of ice from Infected ponds ,
sanitation of railroads throughout the
state , the spread of tuberculosis and
social dlsua.su are a serious menace
to thu highest welfare and develop
ment of the state. The state should
assume the responsibility and expense
of quarantining communicable ills
eases and the subsequent disinfecting
of premises where such disease pro-
vails. Diphtheria anti-toxlne should be
furnished free by the state to the
proper olllclals In each community
The state should undertake to guaran
tee the purity of our milk , meat and
other food .supplies. To tills end
means should be placed at the dis
posal of officials for laboratory work ,
for criminal prosecution , for compen
sation for quarantine , for a sanitari
um for consumptives and sanitary in
spection of the state and for all those
purposes necessary to conserve public
health and promote vigorous prosper
ity. The state should provide- pub
lic lecturer on health and should en
force medical Inspection of pupils in
our public schools and pass such laws
as shall compel the observance of pro-
pur sanitary conditions in and around
every school house in the state , which
shall Include sewerage , heating , light
ing , water and ice supplies.
Also that this congress realizes the
imperative necessity for the enact
ment of a comprehensive and up-to-
date road law , providing for the prac
tical and scientific Improvement and
maintenance of the highways , bridges
and culverts of the state in untfoim
manner under competent and expert
supervision of a state and county sup
ervisor of public highways who arc
competent engineers.
Wo believe that the time lias now
arrived when the state should have
an accurate inventory made of its
natural assets , and we recommend
that our next legislature shall make a
sufficient appropriation to accomplish
this.
this.We
We are also in favor of the forestation -
station of our waste lands and the
preservation of present growths , and
we also urge the setting aside of some
portion of every farm in our state for
the planting of useful and ornamental
trees.
trees.We
We would also urge the conservation
of our available water supplies , which
are adapted for agricultural uses and
farmer sites , believing that these are
most valuable assets of our state.
This congress voices its approval of
the establishment of experiment sta
tions in the irrigable and sand hill re
gions of our state , believing that the
lands in the area of these districts
have ability to produce much wealth.
Finally , we place ourselves on re
cord as being in favor of the careful
and intelligent conservation of all of
the natural resources that the nation
possesses to the end that our people
and the peoples to come may enjoy the
heritage , which Is rightfully theirs.
LAW TO CURB U. S. COURTS.
Burkett's Bill Forbids Corporations
From Hampering State.
Washington , April 2. Corpora
tions will be unable in the future to
Interfere with the enforcement of the
state laws through actions brought In
federal coouorts If a bill introduced
in congress by Senator Burkett of Ne
braska becomes a law.
This proposed legislation would make
! it impossible for federal courts to re-
J strain the enforcement of state 2 cent
faro laws applying to railroads , to pre
vent collections of taxes assessed
against corporations by states , or to
Interrupt In any way the performance
of duty by state officers.
The Burkett bill Is an amendment
to thu judiciary net providing that no
Circuit court of the United States nor
any judge thereof shall have juris
diction to restrain or enjoin any olllcer
of a state or any administrative board
thereof from instituting In any state
court any suit or other proceeding to
enforce any of the state laws. It fur
ther provides that a federal court shall
have no jurisdiction In any suit In
stituted by any person interested In
n corporation as a stockholder or oth
erwise to restrain or enjoin such cor
poration from obeying the statutes of
the state In which It IB doing business.
Railroads and other big corporations
repeatedly have shown a preference
for federal to state courts in legal pro
ceedings. When a state passes a law
repugnant to n corporation It rushes
into the federal courts with a petition
for an injunction restraining the stata
officer ? from enforcing the law. Not
Infrequently corporations thus nro
able practically to nullify laws for
long periods while the case drags
through the federal courts.
There have been frequent Illustra-
lions of this interference with the en
forcement of state laws since the pas
sage of 2 cent railroad faro IUWB by
a number of states. Federal courts
unjoined the enforcement of the law
In Illinois , Missouri , Minnesota and
half n dozen other status , and In many
states the cases Btlll are pending do-
clslon while the roads are permitted
to charge the thruo cunt rate. There
was a conflict between state and fed
eral courts In North Carolina over thu
2 cunt rate and another In Alabama.
In Illinois eorpnintlons frequent Iv
have had recourse to the federal courts
to hold up state tax assessments.
Burkett's move to abolish these evils
was the result of Nebraska's experi
ence with the railroads In attempting
to enforce a new .revenue law. Thu
railroads obtained from the federal
courts Injunctions restraining the state
officers from collecting taxes. This
action hold from the treasury over
$1,000,000 that thu railroads should
have paid , until finally the United
States Supreme court decided that the
railroads must pay the taxes. Thu
senator takes the position that the
railroads should have combatted the
law In the state courts.
The question involved Is whether
the federal courts shall have jurisdic
tion in such cases. There are those
who believe the eleventh amendment
to the constitution , which provides
that the Judicial power of the United
States shall not be construed to extend
to any suit In law or equity com
menced or prosecuted against one of
the United States by the citizens of
another state , etc. , Includes In Its pro
hibitions a suit against a state officer.
But the Supreme court has decided
otherwise. One of the earliest decis
ions is the case of Cranch vs. the state
of Georgia , wherein the Supreme court
held that thu citizens of one state
could sue another state under the con
stitution. But the principle was so
unpopular that the eleventh amend
ment was adopted , and this suit and
other similar ones were swupt at once
from the records of the court.
It was contended even before the
eleventh amendment was adopted that
federal courts did not have jurisdic
tion in a case against a state , but the
court held otherwise in February , 17H4.
On March 5 of the same year the elev
enth amendment was introduced , and
on Jan. S , 1798 , the president declared
to congress that It had been ratified.
From that day to this there has
been more or less controversy as to
whether an action against a state of-
! floor Is In fact an action against the
I state. Judges of the federal courts
( themselves have not always agreed in
this matter. If Burkett's bill becomes
a law it will settle the question for
all time.
The bill is slated for an early hear
ing in the senate judiciary committee.
HATS ON IN GRACE CHURCH.
Dean Kaye of Topeka Applies Rule for
Women to all. Services.
Topekn , Kan. , April 2. In some
churches women are encouraged to
attend the services without hats. Not
so at Grace Episcopal cathedral of
Topeka. Dean James P. DeB. Kayo
announced at a recent service that it
is not the custom for women to ap
pear in that church without their
hats.
hats.Tlie
Tlie no-hat edict came when the
dean was giving out his notices for
services for the week. He had spoken
of the evening serivce at 7:30 : o'clock ,
of the evening service at 7:30 : o'clock ,
not a concert. I have noticed that
some of the women appear at these
evening services without their hats.
It is not the custom in our church to
do this. The same rule applies to
weddings or any other service. "
HOW LADY SHACKLETON FELT.
She "Lived Through" the Year Her
Husband Sought the South Pole.
New York , April 2. "How far did
I go with the lieutenant on his jour
ney ? Just as far as Dover. I'm sorry ,
but that is all. That is the best I
can do to qualify as a noted traveler , "
Lady Shackleton laughed.
"It was hard to let him go on that
long trip. As I said , I went as far
as Dover with him and saw the ex
pedition start. After they got into
the wilderness it was a whole year
in which not a word could reach me.
We live through everything when we
have to , and I lived through that year.
That's all I can say about it. And
now my small son is beginning to
say that he is going to be an explor
er. Oh , dear. Well , he is just 5 this
winter , so I dare say it Is early to
worry about It. "
Lady Sliackleton was asked if she
was Interested in the woman suffrage
movement in England.
"Everyone In England is , " she an
swered seriously. "That is the truth
of it. You can't understand over
here , I'm sure , how keenly we in Eng
land foil the situation of the militant
suffragettes. Their sufferings in pris
on have amounted to a real personal
sorrow to every household In England
with n heart in it. Just as we were
sailing , I heard for the first time that
Winston Churchill had yielded and
that the suffrage prisoners were to
be transferred from the third to the
first class of prisoners. You can't
Imagine what a load the news lifted
from my spirit. Everyone I met seem
ed to feel the same way about It.
"You know that women are emo
tional. The ballot might educate
them , but It might also be an expen
sive education. Over In New Zealand
they arc not making such a success
of It. I don't mean alone the new
cults and doctrines that arc being
put into practice , I moan this typo
of thing I have a great many friends
there and 1 have heard recently from
them that n prohibition party with
a feminine majority had returned a
notorious drunkard to office because
Ihoy wore so sorry for his wife. Well ,
I can assure you I'm glad I don't have
to decide the matter. "

PEOPLE'S PULPIT. . .
CHRIST'S
Sermon by
CHARLES T. ASCENSION FROM
RUSSELL HADES
Pastor Brooklyn
1 abcrnacJc. "He led foitli a multitude of
captives and gave gifts unto men"
( Ephcsians iv , 8) ) .
Allcntown , Pa. , March 27-As Chris
tendom celebrates the resurrection of
the Lord Jitsus Christ , It is appro
priate that our hearts and minds
shuiild Intelligently grasp the signlll-
ounce of the event commemorated. St.
Paul luld great stress upon the resur
rection of the dead , declaring that If
there be no resurrection of the dead
all those whom we counted as asleep
would newr have an awakening , and
consequently would be as dead as are
brute beasts. Note his emphatic state
ment to this effect (1 ( Corinthians xv ,
12-18) ) . For here as elsewhere Ills
words contradict the thought that the
saintly dead pass Immediately to glory
and the unsalntly to Purgatory or to
eternal torture.
According to the Gospel of Christ ,
of which St. Paul declares that he
was nut ashamed , the dcnd are to be
esteemed as though they were asleep
at rest from all the commotion ami
turmoil and strife , ignorance and su
perstition and sin and trouble Incident
to the present reign of sin and death.
They have truly entered into rest ,
whether they were saints or sin
ners. When the time for their awak
ening shall have come In the Millen
nial morning of Christ's reign of right
eousness , surrounding conditions will
be very different from what they are
today , thank God ! Then Satan will
be bound , the Bible assures us ( Rev
elation xr , 1-3) ) , and the Ignorance and
superstition , selllsliness and crime ,
which have for centuries marked his
reign will gradually draw to n close ,
for the glorious Messiah-King will not
permit them. His reign , on the con
trary , will be marked with the true
enlightenment of all mankind ; and the
result will be. as foretold ; namely ,
"livery knee shall bow and every
tongue confess to the glory of God"
( Isaiah xlv , _ . ' { ) .
Gradually the world will be brought
to an Edenlc condition , in harmony
with the Divine promise. Indeed , tills
work may bo said to be already be
ginning. Already , by artesian wells
and Irrigation processes and highways
of travel nnd good roads and intelli
gent cultivation of fields , the earth be
gins to bloom and the wilderness anil
solitary place to be glad , as foretold
by Isaiah the prophet ( Isaiah xxxv , 1) ) .
Under these blessed conditions "All
tluit are In their graves shall hear thu
voice of the Son of man and shall come
forth" ( John v. 28 , 20i not all at once ,
but "Every man In his own order" ( I
Corinthians xv. 2. ? ) . The saintly be
lievers , who alone are fully pleasing
to God , will come forth in the First ,
or chief , or preferable , Resurrection-
come forth perfect , on the spirit plane ,
like unto the angels and like unto their
glorified Redeemer , to be his joint-
heirs in his Millennial Kingdom and
Its preat work of resuscitating , in-
struetliiL' nnd ruling and uplifting all
the "groaning" families of the earth
( Romans vili , 22) ) . Tims will be ful
filled God's promise to the spiritual
Seed of Abraham , "In thy Seed shall
all the families of the earth be bless
ed" ( Galatlans III. 20l. Gradually , after
dealing with the living nations to some
extent , the sleeping world will be
awakened , "Every man in his own
order" ( I Corinthians xv , 2 , ' { ) .
Our Lord assures us that all except
the saintly few will come forth from
the tomb that they may have a resur
rection a raising up out of sin and
death conditions to righteousness , to
the linage of God that was lost by .
Adam ; and that eventually. If willing
and obedient , they will receive God's
gift of eternal life through Jesus Christ
our I/Drd. But the rebellious under
those favorable conditions , we are as
sured , will be cut off from life entirely '
In the .Second Death ( Acts 111 , lfl-2t : ) .
In speaking of the world's resurrec
tion our Redeemer designates It a resurrection - ,
'
urrection by judgments ( Rev. Ver. Jolin
'
v , 28 , 29) ) . Messiah's righteous juilg-
incuts will then be abroad if Hie' , '
world. The light of knowledge will be '
as clear as the noon-dn ; sun. Every ,
good deed and endeavor will receive
Its reward and eve''y wilfully evil
deed will receive chastisements , cor
rections , to the Intent that they may !
learn the advantages of the way of
holiness and go up thereon to life eter-1
mil , which the willing and obedient
may reach by the close of the Millen
nial Age.
Through the prophet Daniel , the
Lord declares that many of the world
ly who now sleep In the dust of the
earth shall come forth unto shame and
lusting contempt. We can readily real
ize the shame Unit will be theirs when
the light of full knowledge shall pre
vail and all of their past shall stand
revealed to themselves and to others
in its true colors. We can well un
derstand that this will bring contempt
to many now highly esteemed amongst
men. But we can rejoice In the
thought that the Millennial Kingdom
then to be In power will deal gracious
ly with all. The stripes of punish
ment will be tempered with 'mercy ;
and gradually by their change of char
acter the contemptible ones will cease
to be contemptible. The transforming
power of grace and Truth now operat
ing in the Church will be equally force
ful then , operating upon the world of
manuinfl. AH perfection Is gradually
attained the shame of the Imperfection
will gradually abate , while all of thu
shameless will be destroyed In thu
Second Death. Thus we see the Dl-
vlno Purpose of the resurrection of tiic
dead nnd our glorious houo. fur differ-
tin irom uii ( etc icars ttmt wcrcumgni
us by the musty traditions of men ,
from the "dark uges. " And thus wo
see the force of the Apostle's words
that If there be no resurrection of thu
dead our hope Is vain , our faith Is
viiln ( I Corinthians xv , M-IO ) .
"But Now Is Christ Risen. "
The Apostle argues , "If the dead rise
not , " If that is an Impossibility so fur
us the world In general Is concerned ,
then It Is an Impossibility so fur as
Christ Is concerned. And "If Christ
be not risen , " then all hope , all faith ,
Is vain. And all preaching Is not only
foolish , but worse. ( See 1 Corinthians
xv , M. ) "But now Is Christ risen from
the dead und become the first fruits
of them that slept. " The mere uwak-
ening from sleep , us in thu case of
La'/.urus , Dorcus and others , Is here
loft out of the question. Nothing Is
counted us resurrection except the
full , complete rulslng up out'of death.
Our Lord was the "first dial should
rise from the dead" ( Acts xxvl , 21 ! ) , In

Ing. The Church will bo the next In
order she Is to bo Hie Bride-Consort
of the Great King und to participate
with him In his glorious work of up
lifting the race which fell from the
Divine Image Into sin and death
through father Adam. The redemp
tion-price has been provided In the
death of Jesus ; and the time for be
ginning the great work of "restitution
of all .things" . merely waits until the
completion of the election of the saint
ly Church ( Acts ill , 1U-21) ) .
Christ Arose From Hades.
Preaching on the Day of Pentecost ,
St. Peter declares that God raised
Christ from thu ilead. Then In proof
that this was Hie Divine Intention
from the beginning , lie quotes from
the prophetic Psalm of David , "Thou
shall not leave my soul In hell. " The
Apostle's quotation ( Acts II27) ) is In
the Greek , in which the word hell Is
hades. Ills quotation Is from the He
brew , in which the word hell Is sheol
the only word rendered hell through
out the entire Old Testament.
I am not stating this as something
new. although I am confident that U
is new to many of my Iarers und to
many of the eighteen millions who will
read my discourse in tomorrow morn-
Ing's papers. For the sake of such , I
note the fact that In the morning of
our Lord's resurrection , lie said to
Mary , "Touch me not ; for I am not
yet ascended to my Father and your
Father ; to my God , and your God"
( John xx , 17) ) . I remind them further
of the language of the so-called Apes
tles' Creed , which Is coming more and
more Into vogue with all denomina
tions und which declares , "Ho de
scended Into hell and rose again the
third day. " In a version of this creed
published by the Presbyterian Board
of Publication of 'Philadelphia , a foot
note very properly explains that the
word hell hero used is , in thu Greek ,
haden , which signifies the state or con
dition of death.
I consider this a very Important mut
ter , which should be made widely
known , because of the false conception
of hell handed down to us through our
creeds formulated in the "dark ages , "
and since u misinterpretation of xheol
und haden lias been given to the pub-
lie mind the impression that these
words signify a place of torture. All
this is wholly false , us every (5reek
und Hebrew scholar knows , and , If
cross-questioned , will udmlt. It is an
important question to the public because -
cause this misconception of the mean
ing of the word hell Is driving hun
dreds , yea , thousands , away from' tied
nnd away from the Bible. They cor-
icctly reason thai the teaching thai
our Creator foreknew and intended a
hell of torture for Ills creatures is be
yond conception , beyond belief , and
manifestly untrue , as no holy being
could be so unjust , unkind , unloving.
It Is time thut all such should see that
the fault lies with the creeds und not
with the Bible thut the Bible teaches
a hell , shcol , hudea , into which all go ,
both good und bad , und from which all
will be called forth In the resurrection
morning by thu great Redeemer.
' 'Leading Captivity Captive. "
A better translation reads , "Our Lord
ascended on high leading a multitude of
captives. " These words are a pen pic
ture representing a great King us a
Conqueror returning from u victory
over an opponent. The victor rode in
u chariot at the head of the proces
sion , surrounded by trumpets and ne-
clulmers , und behind him followed the
evidences , the proofs of his victory
either those whom ho had captured
and enslaved or. as In tills case , those
who had been captured und enslaved
and whom the Conquerer had sot free.
The picture Is graphic and wonder
ful , notwithstanding the fact that a
considerable space has Intervened be
tween our Lonl w triumphant resur
rection nnd ascension und the evi
dences of his victory , which ure fol
lowing after him. Of the great King
of Glory himself , let us remember that
after lie hud suffered by thu will of
Gnd , "the Just for the unjust , " thut
he nilgut bit mankind free from sin
und ilcuth , he was "highly exalted and
glun a nuniu ubovo every naniu. " llu

Next In processional order following
the Bride class , the "very elect , " will
come the "great company" from every
nation , people , kindred und tongue , the
honored servants of the heavenly
Bridegroom und Bride. "The virgins
her companions" ( Psalm xlv , 1-1) ) , will
follow after the Bride Into the pres
ence of the great King Jehovah. Next
In processional order will come tlu >
Ancient Worthies from faithful Abel
down to John the Baptist , the greatest
of the prophets. But these will como
forth from the tomb In human perfec
tion and not In the spirit perfection of
those preceding ( Hebrews xl , ilS-U ) ;
Matthew xi , 11) ) . In their human pel-
fed Ion similar to that of Adam before
his transgression , pins their develop
ment In faith unil obedience , these wilt
constitute a firstfrulls of Isruel and of
the world of mankind. Under their
ministration , supervised by the glorl-
lletl ones beyond the veil , the work of
restitution and uplifting Hie captive *
of sin und death will progress until ,
at the close of that thousand years of
the reign of righteousness , every hu
man being of loyal chiiructer will bo
completely freed from the bondage of
sin and death unil Imperfection and ,
with the Ancient Worthies , will murcli
In the grand procession Into the pres
ence of Jehovah God.
Thus the great Redeemer ujid De
liverer will not only present the saint
ly Church blameless and Irreprouch-
uble before the Futher In love , but
likewise will liberate all who will of
Adam's race , now asleep und degrad

of the end of Ills triumphal procession.
"lie shall see of the triivull of Ills
soul and lie satlslled" ( Isaiah 1111 , 11) ) .
"And Gave Gifts Unto Men. "
All the blessings which , in God's
providence , are not coming to the
Church during this Gospel Age , and
nil the blessings that In the Millennial
Age will flow to natural Israel , "the
rebellious also , " and all the blessings
that will flow through Israel and its
New Covenant to all the families of
the earth , proceed directly or Indirect
ly from the great victory which our
Lord Jesus gulned over sin und death.
Our text and context , as well us the
I Psalm from which the quotation is
I made , bears out tills thought. It Is
because our Lord descended , because
I he left the heavenly glory , and because -
! cause , in harmony with the Father's
I will , our Redeemer left the courts of
1 heavenly glory and humbled himself to
' become a man , und then "humbled
I himself to death , and even to the death
! of the cross , " that his exultation cumu
us a reward of his loyalty to the Fu-
ther's will.
And In the Divine Plan it Is because
his resurrection body and glory were
a reward , a blessing his earthly body
and nature and rights had not been
forfeited through disobedience that ho
had the hitler with all Its privileges to
bestow upon Adam's dead und dying
race , lie gave the merit of that sacri
fice , first imputedly , on behalf of all
desirous of walking In his steps of
' self-sucrlfico even unto death , that
these might be , In the Father's good
pleasure , counted us his members and
companions on the heavenly plane. To
this end the tlrst gifts were bestowed
1
at Pentecost ; and all of .similar cliisn
throughout this nge have bad oppor-
j tunlty for participation therein. Ad
ditionally gifts of helpfulness uvd In
struction and assistance were provided ,
through the apostles , orators , pastors
and teachers of the Church for the
qiialllicutlon of these saintly footstep
followers for the work of service in
building up the Body of Christ , until
the elect Body shall be complete
( Eplieslans iv. ll-Uli.
Soon these gifts and blessings and
privileges now granted and imputed
to the Church will be no longer needed
I by the class being prepared for Hie
! heavenly joint-helrshlp. Thr-n Uie gift
of the Millennial Kingdom , and
through Israel the gift of the New
Covenant ( Jeremiah xxxi , 111) ) , will be
bestowed upon the blood-bought woi Id ,
grunting to them Individually the op
portunity of -overlng < from all their
defilement and imperfection.
Let us then hull this great Redeemer
and Deliverer Ltirtl of titU Let us bow
our hearts to him imw und voluntarily
put on Hie yoke of his service and suf
fer with him "outside the camp. " that
we may be accounted worthy of shar
