Toledo, O., April 13. I'ustor Rus sell, widoly known tUrough hit) pub lished sermons, Is here toduy address ing Bible Students, and also as usual, the public. Crowds seem anxious ul wuys to hour hlui. We report one of bis discourses, from the text: thrown, ILiJ, (OWOftfcUSSELL) Humble your selves therefore under the mighty bund of Ood, that lie may exult you In due tlme."-l Peter 5:0. The Pastor declared that the BIblo everywhere holds up the Lord Jesus Christ as the glorious Pattern of what is most pleiiulug to the Heavenly Fa ther, a Pattern therefore to be copied by nil who would ublde lu God's favor. He reminded bis bearers that thero are certain slops necessary before any can coiuo Into the favor of God, nnd properly be called Ilia children, or suld to be under ills supervision and cure, or be permitted to address Him In prayer, or to consider themselves heirs of Ills favors nnd blessings. This Is made very clenr by the Apostles nnd also by Jesus Himself, said the Pastor. The Apostles declare the necessity of nn Advocate with the Father before any can approach Iilm, come Into His presence or receive any favor from Illni. Jesus expressed this snme thought, snylng, "No man couieth unto the Fntber, but by Me." As a matter of fuct, therefore, a comparatively small proportion of hu manity have any of God's favors at the present time, said the Pastor. But we rejoice In the breadth of the Mes sage, which assures us that In God's "due time" all shall bo brought to a knowledgo of Messlnh, and privileged through Hlui to enjoy the gift of God everlasting life. But what Is comlug and what Is hero now are two differ ent mutters. No one has authority to make the Narrow Way a Broad Way, nor to say that ninny will Dud It when the Scriptures declare, "Few there be that find It." Our consolation Is that this Narrow Way leads to special i glory, honor, Immortality nud the Dl--. vine Nature, and will develop a spe cial, elect class. Then subsequently, this select class will be used of the Lord In blesslug the non-elect innny with a great, but Inferior blessing. The Pustor demonstrated that his text relates not to the world lu gen eral, but merely to the consecrated few who during this Age hear the In vitation, accept It, nud become foot step followers of Jesus. These have their sins forglveu as a result of faith In the precious blood of Christ and of consecration to do the will of God. These then have the Redeemer as their Advoeato wlh the Father, and are ac cepted In the Beloved as His brethren. These are the prospective members of the Bride of Christ, who by the Lord's groce may now suffer with their Redeemer lu cross-bearing, and by and by sharo with nim His glorl pus Kingdom. These are begotten of lie Father through the noly Spirit, 7nd thus become New Creatures In Christ. No Ioniser are they to be classed as members of tho human fumily, but as spiritual sons of God, of a new order, higher than the angels, but not yet, perfected Tfcelr oerteet- lug cannot take place until their pro bationary trial shall have ended, and It. will not end until death. In the glorious First Resurrection, therefore, these will be perfect, as sons of God on the Divine plane, assoclutes and Joint holrs with their Lord and Redeemer. To These Our Text Applies. These are exhorted to come .' with boldness to the Throne of Heavenly Grace, to obtain mercy, and find grace to help In every time of need. These, and only these, may know that their prayers are always heard. As Jesus said, "Their messengers do always have access to My Father's presence." (Mat thew 18:10.) The exhortations of the Apostle are to these alone not to the world. In our context the Apostle holds up the Lord Jesus ns the great Pattern of humility, the example for all of His followers, admonishing that they should walk In His steps, If they would have the Divine favor that He enjoys and attain with Him to Jolnt-heirBhlp In His glorious Kingdom. He was rich, yet In obedience to the Father's will He lnld nslde the riches of His Heavenly estnto, and becomo poor not merely appeared poor. He laid OBlde, or divested Himself of His spirit con dition and glory, and took instead hu man conditions. From being above the angels, He of His own volition took a nature and place "a little' lower than the angels." And He did this, knowing It was only a preliminary step. He knew thut the particular steps of self-denial nnd suf fering were to follow. He humbled Himself to become a man, because a man Adam had Binned, and through hi 111 a race bad come under sentence of death, and could not extricate Itself. Only an uncoudemned man could re deem the condemned one. For this purpose Jesus loft His glory, nnd "was found in fashion as a man." The Logos did not become a sinful man, a blemished or imperfect man. On the contrary. He was "holy, harm less, uudellled and separate from sin ners." Otherwise, He could not have been the Redeemer. Being sluless, how ever, this perfect One would suffer all the more from the shame and igno miny connected with the mission He undertook, As It was not a babe, but a man, that had sinned nnd was to be redeem ed, therefore Jesus needed to wait un til Ho reached mauhood's estate thirty years before He could begin His min istry. Promptly nt thirty lie inndo His consecration, and symbolized it by wnter Immersion at Jordan. Then Ho went forth, declaring the Message which He knew would bo misunder stood the Messngo of God's Love, the Message that there must be a sacrifice for sin, tho Message that Ho was tho Sln-Offerlng, tho Message that as a re sult of that Sin-Offering, blessed fruit age afterword would come, In the Mil lennial Kingdom, which would bless all the families of the eartb. As Ho foreknew, mankind, even tho best prepared the Jewish people were not ready for tho Message. Thus, as He foresaw and as the Scriptures foretold, they crucified Him Ignorant ly for as St. Paul declares: "Had they known it they would not have crucified the Lord of glory." (1 Corinthians 2:8.) St. Paul reminds ns that we should consider Christ's undeservedness of persecution, lest wo should be "weary and faint in our minds." Similar ex periences must to somo exteut come upon us. Aud If He who was perfect endured patiently, we who are imper fect may well exercise great patience. And so in our text the exhortation is that we perceive how Jesus bumbled. Himself, nnd thnt we should think It a great prlvllego and pleasure similarly to experience humiliations. The Rewards of Humility and Loyalty. No doubt the Logos, "the Beginning of tho Crentlou of God," tho "First born of every creature," the one by whom all things were made, hod such loyalty to the Father that He would have been obedient, even hud no re ward been attached to tho Invitation given Him. But, on tho other hand, It would not have been consistent with kindness, love or Justice for the Father to demand of His Son such a sacrifice. Justice can nwko no such demand. And If Love makes such a suggestion, it should properly back up the sugges tion with some promise of special favor or blessing. According to the Apostle, God did just this. He In formed His Sou that Ho would appre ciate such n sacrifice, and sot before Him a Joy, a hope. The Apostle does not explain the de tails o( thnt hope, but we ma.v In fir them:; (1) The joy of the Father' blessing in a superlative sense. (2) The joy of bringing many sons of God to the plane of glory as His Bride class. (3) The Joy of rescuing the world of mankind from sin, sickness sorrow, pain, death, and of uplifting, or resurrecting all the willing and obe dient of the race to human perfection, and all that was lost by Adam. (4) An exaltation to a still higher station than that which He had left. He would be made partaker of the Divine nature, for above angels, principalities and powers, and above His own previ- ous high station us the Only Begotten of the Father, the Logos the Word, -John 1:1-3. Here we are, dear brethren, with the Apostle's words and the full scope of his inspired testimony before us. He tells us thnt if we desire to be of the glorious Class of more than conquer ors, who will be honored by the Re deenier, we must humble ourselves to the doing of the Divine will to the best of our ability, as our Redeemer humbled Himself to do the Father's will perfectly. Not that the Father will accept anything less than perfec tion, but that our Redeemer will make up to us by the imputation of His righteousness for all that which we lack through our share lu Adam's fall and Its consequence. In other words, if we have the same loyalty of heart that tho Master had, we will do what we can, nnd so doing shall be accepta ble to the Father, through the Son. Satan's Course In Contrast. Notice, now, the contrast between Satan's course and that of the Lord Jesus. Satan took the opposite course from that which the Redeemer took Instead of bumbling himself, willing to do everything that would be pleas ing to the Father, he was proud, haughty, and sought to exalt himself. Lucifer was rich before bis rebellion, before he became Satan, the adversary of God. Yet he was not so rich, bad not so high a station, as the Logos, who was the very chief of all of God's ' creation, through whom the Divine ; energy operntcd in the creation of all things thnt were made, Mark well the course of pride, that led to Satan's sin, and will ultimately lead to his degradation and destruc tion. Mark well also the course of Jesus, as it led II Ira through obedience to humiliation, and then to the highest glory. Which example shall we fol low? Which fate will be ours? Shall we in humility walk In the footsteps of our Redeemer, and become Ell joint-heirs in His glory, Honor and Im mortality? or shall we take the other course of pride, and thus become disci ples of the Adversary, nnd learn of him, and reach his doom destruction In the Second Death? The Apostle Intimates that God tests us upon certain general lines, general principles operating His Government. "He that humbleth himself shall be exulted, and he that exalteth himself shall be abased." Beloved hearers, It seems to nie that, with theso Illustra tions before us, It would be folly for us to penult the seeds of pride or per sonal ambition to take root In our hearts, Ixt us be diligently on the outlook to eradicate everything of the kind, and be close students of our Mas ter, copying Ills course. There Is u reason behind every Dl vino command and regulation. Men may make arbitrary rules nnd condi tions without justifiable cause, but we may be sure that the great Creator has a good reason for Ills every net nnd re quirement. In the present caso, we can readily discern the necessity for the Divine requirement of humility. The Lord Jesus nnd His Church are In vited by the great Jehovah to the very highest position In the universe, next f irf.nofilf Qimh Oil mn lf fl. ur.iill " be dangerous to nny one possessed of a spirit of pride or selfish ambition. Who can tell nt what time the smoldering fire might break Into n blaze and cause confusion nnd disorder? Consider Satan's case. What might have been the result had he been en trusted with so high a position as that now occupied by the glorified Jesus? There would have been genuine re bellion In Heaven of the kind Milton so foolishly Imnglned. How we enn see tho wisdom of the Almighty in testing those whom ne would exalt to ITIs own Divine nature! Even His well-beloved Son was required to dem onstrate Ills faithfulness and loyalty unto death "even the Ignominious death of the cross." So the Apostle says that It became God, "In bringing ninny sons unto glory, to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings" to prove nim per foot by the tnlnss which Ha fluttered to demonstrate thai the things "which He had always professed and had al ways done, expressed the sentiment of nis heart in the fullest and most aDso lute sense. Thus again we read, "Though He were a Son, yet learned He obedience by the things which He suffered. (Hebrews 5:8.) Again we read that It was because of His faithfulness that God highly exalted Him and gave Him a name above every name. If this was necessary in the case of our Re deemer, before the Father could prop erly so highly exalt Him, what shall we say of His followers? Surely we must agree to the necessity for most thor ough testing, proving, demonstrating, the loyalty of the Church before they could be made partakers of the Divine nature and shnrers of that Heavenly glory. 2 Peter 1:4. This is the import of our text: Re member the heights, the glories of the Heavenly calling which you nave re reived of God through Christ! Re member that you were by nature a child of wrath, even as others! lie member that once you were alienated from God throueh wicked works! Re member that God is working in you to will and to do His good pleasure, to develop in you the character pleasing to Himself! Remember that unless this work of grace go on in your heart day by day, it will not be accomplish ed! Remember that unless It be ac complished, you will not be fit for a place In the Kingdom! Remember that God has predestinated that only sucn as demonstrate that at heart they are copies of His Son can ever be His Joint- heirs In the Kingdom; and remember that in all this we see the force of the text: "Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you In due time." Our trials and difficulties, our stum blings and repentances, our vows to the Lord, and our endeavors to keep these, are parts of the great humbling process necessary to our exaltation. Trials and Temptations Necessary, When we get the proper focus on this subject of the calling and election of the Church, it clarifies everything. We see now that If we could escape trials and difficulties and testings, we would escape the necessary schooling experl ences, and be unfit for our graduation, unfit for a share in the First Resur rection. It takes us some time to get this proper view of matters, even as when we were school children, It re quired some time for us to learn the lesson that to be helped with an an swer or to be excused from a lesson or to have a holiday were all disadvan tages. A sufficient number of such failures to learn our lessons properly would mean unpreparedness for exam ination day. We have entered God's great training School. Its great Teach er is our dear Redeemer, to whom we are betrothed. Every lesson in the course is necessary for our polishing and preparation for theglorles to follow. In this School everything depends upon ourselves. The arrangements are all of God and therefore perfect. The great Teacher will not fall In His duty toward us. The results, therefore, are with ourselves. If we learn the les sons, we shall surely be graduated, and be presented before our Heavenly Fa ther and the holy angels with honor and glory. But If we fall to learn the lessons necessary, we shall have only ourselves to blame. Indeed, from the viewpoint which we shall have beyond the veil, we surely would not want a placo for which we were not prepared, and God would not give it to us. In this entire matter, therefore, we see that God is operating His elections, se lections, instructions and final approv als along the lines of absolute jastice, fairness, principle not favoritism.

Stewart, a former resi dent of Stone, Clackamas County, di ed Saturday May 3, at Greshara, at the home of her sister, Mrs. Alice Cannon, with whom she has made her home since January, coming from Walla Walla, Wash., during that month, where she had resided for several years previous her death. Mrs. Stewart was born June 9, 18- 61, in Linn County, Oregon. For many years she resided at Stone, where she was well known and highly respected. During the past year she had fail ed in health, and her sister Mrs. Alice Cannon, thinking the change of cli mate would benefit her health, it was decided that she go to Gresham, but but she gradually failed until her death. The funeral services were conduct ed by Rev. Trullinger at the Chris tian Churdh, at Stone, Oregon. The floral tributes were beautiful and nu merous. The interment was in the Pleasant View Cemetery and many of the friends were unable to attend as the church was filled to its capacity who wished to pay their last re spects.

STREETS MOST IMPORTANT, Thoroughfare Should Be Attractively Laid Out and Must Not Be Too Long. Principal Buildings In the Center of City Smoke Nuisance. Within the last few years a move ment of great - proportions has been taking shape among American cities which will ultimately Involve the spending of bund reds of millions of dollars In civic improvements, says the New York Sun. The larger part of the expenditure will be used in cut ting through new streets, altering old ones. In reorganizing the plans of ex isting cities and in making extensions. Few questions are of such Impor tance to the public as that of city plan ning. There are three primary types of street plans, tho rectangular block plan so widely followed in the Uulted States, with its absolute uniformity, an example of which is seen In the I central part of Manhattan Island; the circular plan, with streets In concen tric circles and with radial avenues, such as the city of Indianapolis, and the 'accidental plan, in which' the streets are all at random, such as parts of Boston, New York and the en tire city of Constantinople. It is of the utmost importance onct regulations are determined upon that they be strictly adhered to, as other wise factory districts will invade resi dential districts and other encroach ments of the classes on each other will occur, making tho whole plan of the city abortive. The civic center should, of course, have a central location nnd be readily accessible from all parts of the city W r8K r VMM MAEKST PLACE IS AN IMPORTANT FKATUKB. and surrounding suburban districts.

Read's Genuine Landsdowne $1.25 Yard A silk-and-wool fabiic that washes like linen, is extremely fashionable and serv iceable and comes in wanted plain shads full 43 inches wide and is now priced at, the yard, $1,35 The leading principle of the design of a civic center is thnt one of thei buildings should dominate the resLj This should usually be. the city hall or courthouse. The other buildings should be In character and style related to the dominant building, but not of such size or outline as to detract from its importance, as it shpuld be, in an artistic sense, protective of the others. Streets and avenues too long and too straight are an evil.- Paris, for exam ple, has too many streets with vistas dwindling into nothingness. The world famous Champs Elysees Is of such a character. New York is almost wholly composed of such streets. Broadway from Bowling Green to Grace church Is au uninter rupted line. Fifth avenue is straight throughout its length. Streets in al most all American cities are ruined by their inordinate length in a straight line. In the modern science of city plan ning streets are of definite length, properly terminated or curved or oth erwise changed In direction nnd by no means necessarily of the same width throughout. Among the most Important civic fea tures and one that has been left al most exclusively to engineers, with in many cases unfortunate aesthetic re sults, Is Hint' of bridges. A bridge, be ing one of I he most striking features of a city's design, should be designed by engineer's of the greatest ability uiid experience, and such engineers should he associated with architects rnuull.v i 11 ji II Regulations in effect In many cities abroad In rutard to Hie height of the (iiiiUlliiiT.- an- too Inflexible The result Is long streets of buildings all of the .same approximate hcljrht. The height or building is usually limited in pro portion to the width of the street. A met boil adopted with great success for getting direct circulation of air in blocks is to leave openings at the ends of the blocks, as Is done In some Eng lish and German cities. A principle of city planning thnt Is of particular Interest to artists is thot of color. American cities particularly tend to assume a certain dull grayish weather beaten appearance, due to dust, smoke and climatic effects and the presence In the air of acids from factory smoke. In modern cities such condition soon obliterate the appear ance of freshness and newness.
