LA HRANDE, OREflON.
Brooklyn. N. T.,
April 20. - Pastor
Russell's topic Id
the Brooklyn
Academy of Music
today was, "The
Necessity for Je
sus' Death." HI
text ires: "In due
time Christ died
for the . ungodly."
Romans 5:6.
The speaker de
clared that while
tbe Bible every
where emphasizes the Importance of
Jen i is' di'ii th. yet Christiana today seem
to be perplexed upon the subject. Some
clulin that neither Ills life nor. Ills
death whs different from that of otber
men. Others claim that Jesus came
Into the world lo show mankind bow to
live and die for a Rood en use. Oth
ers bewildered declare that they see oo
relationship Is-tweeti Jesus' death and
what they have been taught In tbe P"n
alty for sin: vis., elerual torment.
In tteueral. said the Pastor, there la
confusion upon the subject, and only
those wbo get tbe proper focus on tbe
question of why Christ died can be
mentnlly at rest, and enter sympathet
ically Into tbe (treat Plan of Ood. of
which tbe death of Jesus for human re
demption Is h part.
The I'nstor protested against tbe too
common practise of accepting a portion
of the Bible and rejecting the remain
der. Be declared that any mau wise
euotiKh to criticise tbe inspired Word
sbould he accepted as an inspired au
thority. ' capable of writing a 'better
stntemeut of tbe Divine I'lnn. He be
lieves thnt the Holy Scriptures, as St
rum declares, were written aforetime
by holy men for the admonition of the
Church. Ist-aiise (Jnd wishes His people
to understand lis arrangements We
should bold fast "tbe faith once deli v.
ered to the saints." nnd not allow the
wImIoiu of men to make tbe Word of
God of none effect. He reminded his
bearers that Jesus reproved the Phari
sees for neglecting the Word of God
and preferring the traditions of men.
Our Kngllsb Ititile. Raid he, does not
profess to be the Word of God. but
merely a trans'lation of It If there
fore we And mistranslations which mis
represent the original Scriptures, we
should correct these, and admit thnt
the translations are uot Inspired.
Jesus Died to Meet Man'a Penalty.
Orthodox creeds do not dispute that
there Is a penalty against mankind
These creeds agree that Adam, father
of humanity, was created perfect In
the moral Image of his Maker; hut thnt
be sinned and came under a iienalty
because of that sin All mankind, hav
ing inherited life from him. share bis
colidemntiliou to death God. having
sentenced man to death, cannot con
sistently deal wltb the sinner. Hence
He arranged tbat Jesus sbould recover
Adam and his posterity from that con
demnationIn order tbat they might
have opportunity to return to harmony
with Hliu. and thus to everlasting life.
This, said tbe Pastor, Is clearly set
forth In both Old and New Testaments
If we could forget our creeds and tbe
false theories wblcb tbey Inculcate,
these Scriptures would guide as with
out difficulty. Christendom Is bandl
capiied by creeds of tbe Dark Ages,
which confuse us For Instance, these
creeds reach that God's curse agalust
mankind Is eternal torment
-The Wages of 8in Is Death."
Most emphatically the Bible declares
the wages of sin to he death not tor
ment. Lest any should think that only
the body dies, but that the soul con
tinues to live, the Scriptures say. "The
soul that sins shall die" "God. Is able
to destroy both soul and body In Ge-hetina"-the
Second Death. The pen
alty against Adam. "Dying, thou shalt
die. signifies the death of bis soul
his entire being I'nder that seutence
Adam and hl rate, unless redeemed,
would have no future life
But God from the very beginning
; purposed to redeem man from tlr
death sentence lie purposed to semi
t forth ni Son to pay man's redenip
Hon price- to die for man Christ's
, redemptive work would restore man's
'soul from Hit- oer of tile tomb tiy a
, resurrection from the dead St. Paul
expresses tbls matter In -few words.

LA GRANDE AND UNION COUNTY ARE CHEERFULLY FACING
WHAT PROMISES TO BE THE MOST PROSPEROUS YEAR IN .ITS
HISTORY. MORE PEOPLE ARE COMING TO GRANDE RONDE VAL
LEY, MORE ENTERPRISES ARE HEADED TOWARD LA GRANDE.
And Why Not?
... .In a country where a dry fall permits the farmer to plow his fields and
plant his fall grain; where the winter sn ows satuate the soil with life producing
moisture; where the spring sun warms t he earth and imparts life to the exten
sive and varied plantings; where the March winds prevent the destructive ac
tivity of Jack Frost; where summer showers renew the vitality and increase
the quantity of the many crops; where Ary harvests enable the farmer to reap
that which he has sown; where all of these things are backed up by untold
wealth of timber and minerals;; where there is a bountiful supply of water for
power, and for irrigation if ever needed; where ranges of thousands of acre?
covered by the famous Oregon bunch grass are largely, responsible .for .the
quantity and quality of all kinds of livestock; where man with the minimum 0
labor turns the meadows into fields and the fields into gardens and orchards; w
here the people are happy and progressive for what good reason can people
help but come to the Grande Ronde Valley. ,
