Rev. Willnrcl Scott discussed vostcrtlti ;
/norning the relations of llio Amcrlcni
board and the now doctrine of futur
probation. liolow is givoii synopsis o
the address :
In 1 00 Snimii'l J. Mills , walking dowi
tlic mam .strei'l of WlHiainstown , Muss.
and thrusting Ins arm into thai of hi
companion , impulsively iaid :
"No yuttiiK man living in the nine
tconth cnntury and rodwmud by 111
blood of Christ , ought to think of livin ;
or ilj ing , without nn effort to niaku hi
Inlinonco full round thu globe' , "
In that stimo year , without preconcert
no less than twenty young men appearc
in various parts ot New Hn iand , lille
with the same burning persuuMoi
Several of tlioso under the lo.attership c
Mills organi/ed a socloty in William
colleuetn 1808 "to ofleet , " as they sai
In the person of Its members , a Miihsio
to tlio "heathen , " but this organlxatio
was kept hecret , "le.st , " as they said
"wo should bo thought rashly Imprudun
and should so injure the cause wo wis !
to promote. " When college clays wcr
clone , this society was transferred t
Andover seminary , the very sent of th
present alleged dissensions , and wa
there enlarged by the discovery of other
of like mind. On the eve of the moetin ,
at Bedford in 1810 of the General Assc
elation of Massachusetts , Mills and thru
associates mot a company of olergyme
in the parlor of Professor Stuart n
Andover and unfolded their wishes. Thi
led , on the next day , to a long chase-rid
l > y Hov. Lrs. Sunng and Worcester t
Bradford , during which they forme
the plan , which three clays latoi
developed into the now roverci
and famous American board , "for th
avowed purpose of devising ways an
moans for promoting the buread of th
gospel in heathen lands. " The hoard a
organized , and two years later incorpoi
atccl , was made a self-pernotuating bed ,
of not more than 200 corporate members
ane the management of its afl'airs frnn
one annual'meeting to another was en
triibted to a prudential committee , now u
eleven members.
To this venerable committee of aboard
now three-scoro-sevonteen years old , ha
lately come a question of management
Certain applicants for missionary em
ploymcnt have been delayed in thei
wishes on thuajleged ground of unsound
ness in theological opinion , and the ac
lion has aroused a widespread intoiest
Popularly itjias been supposed to havi
been a question merely of theology , while
more exactly it has hail to do rattier will
the management of the board than will
the theology of thn candidate. The pru
dential committee is distinctly a court ol
prudence , not of theology. Its roftibalti
commission an applicant does not hnpl ;
that ho is not a Christian nor in any wa ;
allect his clerical standing , except infer
entiall.v. It docs not settle any ejuostioi
as to his orthodoxy or Heterodoxy. I
docs not say that lie shall not preach o :
go as a missionary to the heathen
It merely says that , holding the
views he do s , ho cannot bo on
clorscd as a missionary by thi
board , nor be supported in mission worl
by its money. He may go at his own mo
tion nnd charges. Any one else ma ;
send him Hut he cannot be the met
senuor of this body. Their action is pru
dential. not theological.
Hut the question lias arisen whether ii
the instances named the committee ma ;
not have boon over-prudent , and , whil
the mission liolds arc "while to harvest,1
have restrained from service those win
could not go "unless they were sent , '
yet might have done a glorious work i
they had boon sent. At this precise poin
is the great debate.
To uutnrmmo the answer to this qucs
tloa , which is the main one , another 1m
to bo asked and answered , vi/ : For wha
reason were these applicants delayed
and was the reason siilileient ? It is com
monly agreed that the committee ha
power to exercise prudence , but had it ii
instance a proper ground for its pru
donee ?
The dojrma which , In this way , has become
come the tonic of debate is proper ! '
known as that of "future probation,1
though it is sometimef called "scconi
probation , " and sometime ! ) vulgarly "an
other chance. " What is this dogma o
opinion ? One needs to hncautious in un
clertaking to outline a statement in theology
ogy which ho doe.s not accept , lest h
HUOW hlmself-parilsan or unfair. Apprc
elating this , I will nevertheless attomp
it and reduce Itis nearly as possible , t <
tlicso four propositions :
1. Every man mu- liavo a probation.
Is that true or false ? John Calvin dc
niod it and taught that the probation o
every son of Adam was lost in his fall
Within seven days I heard a preacher o
national fame iissert the same. Once th
church believed it , and taught that in
man was saved by having a probation
but only by the sovereign election of :
merciful God. That dav is passed. Wha
was heresy then is orthodoxy now , am
wo all believe that every man born ha
a probation , a time of training and o
testing.
3. A probation consists In having th
historic Christ presented to the probn
tloner.
No man , they say , will over see Chris
as Ids judge until ho lias soon him as hi
Saviour , The true light which lightest
every man that cometh into the worl
must lighten every man. Them In such
personal , organic connection betweo ;
Christ and every one that they must nice
before probation is closed. This is
definition of the word "probation
which wo refuse. Wo believe that ever
man must have n probation , but not t
that kind. Abraham. Moses. Ma mi
Anrelius and Seneca did not nave tlui
kind. Millions before and after Chris
came have never had that kind , yt
wo believe that many of thoi
have been saved by living we.
according to the light they ha <
Kvery man has some Hght.enough to knoi
right trom Wrong , enough to choose ani
refuse oiu\ and upon that choice to stan
or fall In the great judgment.
The third and fourth propositions shar
1ho fate of the second.
3. Some do not have such a probatlo
in this life. Certainly not , according t
their definition ,
4. Presumably , then , they do have It I
the next , The test is in the second pro [
osition.
Having this analysis clearly in mini
wo are now prepared to see what thi
"now theology" is , at this point , and e
to decide as to the wisdom of the pn
clontlal committee in delaying the appl
cants mentioned ,
1 Plainly , it is not a doctrine of "sci
3nd probation. " The name is a mism
incr. There is but one probation. If
is hero it is not there. If it be there it :
not here , The popular notion that th
' 'uriothi
Andover theology oilers
chance" is a falsehood , and ho who hole
U outdoes Andover in liere&y , hns uno' '
version nf the "now theology , " ami pul
into it what none of tljo movers of tlit
speculation recognize ill it. Th.il speci
latioh merely leaches' that sometime
fomowhero every one from Adam to th
babe In jour cradle must have the hlste
ric Chi 1st presented to him. II he Is one
so presented , hero anil is refused , tbr
cntls the probation. To those who d
not have that one presentation here :
will be made in thu life to come , but t
no others.
2 , Plainly , nl o , It i ? not a spc <
illation tending toward Unitarianlsn
but rather the ri'vurso. for while Un
tarianism represents Christ as the noble1
of creatures , an example to \ \ \ but not
saviour of us , this "new theology" got
bc\onel even orthodox belief in fnsisttn
that no soul , In any age , can possibly L
siued , even by choice of the light an
truth he may happen to have , until h
has had the historic Jesus personal !
pre-sented to him as his saviour. Th
church believes that some , who ha\
neve-r heard of Christ , may be save
through following the teaelilngs of n :
lure aiul conscience , but this new viu >
rc'unlres mem' . How ean it possibly ten
toward unitarianismy
8. Neither does it tend toward nnivci
salism , In any other sense' ' than that an
\igorous proclamation of the iiospt
lends toward it , by saving more people
It proposes the same method of salvatio
familiar to us , it limits it to one trial ui
eler the same or like conditions , mere !
dillcring In that it e\te > nds the oppoi
timity to more people ami loanother life
4. Nor does it teach that the opno :

in this. Indeed it Is a matter of ei1
pcricnco and of revelation that it will I
worse and not bolter. Character tone !
in any llto that we know , or can coi
c'eivc of , to become permanent and lixee
More can be elono with a chihl than wit
a man. To believe that after a life <
sin here emo will bo better prepared t
icceivn the approach of Christ beyont
is illogical , provided the aj
ttroadi is cvpiaJly pressing i
both instances , lint the scriptural par :
ble of the rich man ami La/an
has sollleel for us the .statement that Go
has no ministry in heaven which ca
prevail when the ministry on earth hi1
failed , "lie who spared not his ow
Son" has not reserved in heaven a bctti
way of reaching men and bringing thei
to rejientanco.
C. Lastly , it does not "cut the nerve c
missions. " It it does , then why .11
these applicants before the president ! !
committee ? andwhyaio there not mer
ly one or two , but scores ? The "nen
of missions'1 is not in the conteniplatio
of the need of the heathen , but in con
mand from Olivet. "Go ye ! preach.
Loyalty to Christ is a thousand-fol
greater impulse than pity for man. Kvo
if this wore not so , Iliu "now theology
teaches that the sooner we can reao
men in need of Christ , the more can L
saved.
What then is it ? It is a speculation ,
hope or a doubt in the minds of son
good neoplo , developed from a too ides
TIOW of Christ and his work , which leae
them to believe that the conditions c
salvation cannot be completed until tli
historic Christ has boon presented t
every being , and since that lias not bee
lo all in this life , some must have tli
presentation bejond death. This , wit
some , is a belief , with sonic a hope , an
with some only guess. The applicant
who have thus far been delayed by th
presidential committee have ) not afseite
tins as a belief , but hayo either expresse-
it as a hope or refused to dogmatiz
about it. .
This brings us back to thn main quo :
lion , whether the presidential committc
in delaying these has been only usuall
prudent or over prudent. The answt
will depend upon tlio gravity attached t
the dogma , as hero stated. Personal ! :
I do not consider thu opinion one <
special seriousness. A certain nolorict

which do not naturally belong to i
Practically , and of itself , it is a sma
matter commensurate with other wo
known but , for the most part , hnrmle ;
heresies , and will bo seen to bo sue
when the present tumult is passed.
The presidential committee itself i
largely responsible for this tumult b
making so much of a small matter , whiel
but for its newness and its relation t
certain personal difficulties , would neve
have attracted general attention. I ai
of the opinion that if at the start thos
applicants had been passed with an ae
monition from the committee and wit
an understanding that if they allowe
tins view to interfere in any way wit
their work , they woulel bo recalled , w
should have heard nothing of either tli
subject or them.
Hut the matter has now come to bo

Tlio Great Salvation.
llov. II. H. Branch , of lloloit. Kan ,
occupied the pulpit yesterday mornin ,
and evening at the First Baptist chnreli
On both occasions ho preached able sci
mons , which wore greatly enjoyed b ,
largo congregations.
In the evening ho found his text in th
verso from the tlnrel chapter of Hebrewi
reading "How shall wo oicapo if w
neglect so great a salvation ! "
The speaker said that there wore thrc
standpoints from which the salvation f
Jesus Christ might bo considered a gren
salvation.
In the llrst place it is a great salvatio
because of what it saves us from. ]
saves us from sin , not simply from th
penalty of sin , but from sin itsolf. Sin i
inherent in our own hearts. This fact i
rceogni/.cd every whore. Go wherever yo
will you will lincl it. It is in our hearts f roi
the earliest days. We discover that jus
as FOOII as a child is callable of a ration ;
act , it begins to sin. The propensity j
there all the time. Sin elocs not nccei
sarlly consist of particular acts ; it is tli
natural condition of man's hoar
Truly , this is a great salvi
tion because it saves us froi
sin. Wo lind it impossible to save oni
selves by anything that wo can do. W
need a great , all-powerful salvation.
In the second place thin is a grot
salvation , on account of what it guide
us to. It brings us to a state of mor ;
and spiritual perfection. 1 do not sa
that it will do this at once or in th
present life. But eventually it will brin
us to the perfect spiritual estate.
And in the third place it is a great sa
valicm because of the great price i
which It was purchased. It has not co !
us anything , to ho sure , but -purchaf ;
it Iho blood of Jusus Christ was sai
riliced.
The words of our text put the ntiestio
squarely ; "How can vvo bo saved , if vv
neglect so great FalvationJ"
' 1 his is a question which ought to at
peal to the disciple of Christ as well ti
the unrcgcnorato sinner , How shall we
the followers of Jesus , e
capo if wo neglect the salvatio
of these about us our family or.
friends , our neighbors , who ma
bo perishing ! ' How shall we bo saved
we neglect these for whose sake Chrl
died , if wo forget our positions as an
bassadors of Christ ? > Yc ro tlio ones I
spread abroad the news of the great salva
tion.
In this great quoUion of being savce
the point is not whxithcr we have sinnei
but whether vvo IKVTT. neglected the Salva
tion of Jesus Christi This is n mighty
an awful qiiestloiu Shall we give it afai
consideration ?

Nashville , the lines being drawn closel ;
betweem the sections , Several othe
planters were in the same position. Thoi
debtors , they know , were ready and will
ing to pay , nut there was no safe way o
transmitting ihe niouev. Any southeri
man who crossed the blockade was liabl
lo be hanged as a spy.
Colonel Campbell called his brolhe
creditors together.
" 1 know of a messenger whom I an
willhiff to trust , " he said. "He is mv oh
body-servant , Sanforel. You must judg
for yourself whether yon will do th
same. "
Sanforel was a slave. The money in al
amounted to $00,000. Years before th
olel man , who was a Methodist minister
had lectured his young master ou th
weakness of holding slaves.

Should ho sloal Iho money and escape h

It was a desperate chance. But parti'
because , perhaps , the money could nebo
bo got in any other way the planters re
solved to take Ihe chance.
"Do fust ob elo mont you can look fo

Sanforel entered Nashville with crowd
of negro refugees , and for some day
could not suoceodin { raining an interviov
with his master's creditors. Finally h
succeeded , presented his letter , and received
ceivod the money , which lie sewed up n
his collar.
As the month passed the other creditor
grew uneasy. Kvory day Colonel Camp
bell drove anxiously out of the road b ,
which Sanforel must come , but in vain.
On the lastove oPthe month a tattered
limping figure came in sight.
"Ilvah's do money. Mars Ale'ck ! Conn

juslifiaplo pride.
This incident is true in every detail.

frame only assumes on an undertaker1 ;
or n dissecting table. In one Norwogiai
inn whom the dusting maid wanted to di
her kindest she put n wedge at head am
foot of my berth , and I dreamed that
lay in a 'hammock that touched tin
ground. The white sprc.ul that cover
the bed in the daytime like a pall or :
shoot on sweeping day is carefully pu _
away at night , and one struggles will
quilts or blankets that are always to <
short and too wide for the narrow bunk
and can never bo made fast a
the footboard. Those are minor things
however , that one contends with every
where in the towns , villages , and on fre
quonled roads , and ho "must go oil' tin
beaten track to find the true Norvvogiat
bed that is only four feet long , very nar
row anel built into the side ot the room
where it can bo shut up like acupboare
all day long. At Nystucn thcro was ai
exacting Knglishman six feet in stature
who insisted on seeing the Ixuls before h
would take his traps oil' his carriole. He
found them many inches too short for hi
gaunt frame , and drove on to the nox
place for the night.

Of those \vlio have favored the NEBRASKA CLOTHING- COMPANY
with their patronage is that they have the utmost confidence in re
ceiving greatest value for their money , both in fit and workmanship.

an illustration of how money can be saved : When you buy their men's M
all wool cassimere business suit for $6 , which would cost you at least
$9 anywhere else , you save $3. For the $3 left you can buy other use
ful articles. For instance :
2 scarlet all wool men's undershirts at 50c. - - - - $1.00
