CONTRACT GIVEN
, NEW RAILROAD
,fNcw Gold Kill Road Signs Up to
Haul Limestone for the Carter
v Hughes Klin From Kane's
Creek Quarry.
.- GOLD HILL. Feb. -1. "I sjgncd
lip 'yesterday with R. H. Iltirris to
enrry the product of our quarry to
Gultf Hill, mid also to furnish us
with all the wood we will require in
the burning of lime at that point."
'writes J. P. Hughes, one of the own
ers of the Kanes creek lime ledge,
from Salem to J. L. Hammcrsly.
"I have just writtten to Mr. Stino
brinfr, our foreman, to stop any fur
ther work at the quarry that we were
doing with the idea of locating the
kiln at that place, as we will now ni
ter our plans. Get word to Mr.
Stinebring to leave the kiln in Gold
Hill.
"Mr. Harris seems very sanguine
as to the building of the road, and,
iin fact, has entered into a written
contract with us to do tho things
mentioned. His plan is an ideal one.
and should be encouraged by the
people of Gold Hill with all tho boost
jspirit and energy they possess. He
seemed to think the acquiring of our
'to'nnn'ge was the one thing riecessary
to assure the building of the road.
"We are assured by the people in
Portland," writes Mr. Hughes in the
same letter, "with whom we negoti
ated about a year ago. that the offer
they made ns to take 220 barrels of
lime per day, was still open and
would be ready for our acceptance
whenever the kiln is in operation. If
we accept this contract, it alone, not
counting other business, will afford
a business for the Gold Hill railroad
of approximately 725 carloads of 20
tons each per annum."
Discussing the probable effect of
the new railroad on the future of
Gold Hill. Mr. Hughes says: ill hope
.you people will go right after this
xoad, as it eventually means an ex
tension of the same to Grants Pass
and a rapid development of the coun
try around Gold Hill. When the elec--tric
line was built from Salem to
"Portland many people thought it
would ruin Salem by diverting the
business to Portland. On the con
trary, it has operated in just the
other wav; and the line has done
more to build up Salem, than any
other dozen things that have oc
curred in the life of the town."
.Mr. Hnrfies is expected to arrive
in Gold IIUl shortly to take active
charge of the installation of the big
-new. kiln, a site for which will be se
lected at a iwint convenient to the
new line of railroad.

deeply lutcresteti. He said:
Some apply the tlrst text only and
think of tho Divine rroj;rniu as belnc
merely an endeavor to rescue mankind
from sin and death to rhrliteousnosi
and eternal life tu the ptvstu time
Such ns hold this view arc muili cvn

man's uplift. After six thousand years
It Is still true that "The whole world
lleth In tho Wicked One;" "Darkness
covers the earth and gross darkness
the heathen." In order to have any
confidence nt all In this theory those
who hold It are obliged to greatly low
er their standards. They are forced to
hope that God will admit millions of
until people, crude, rude, lguorant and
wicked to eternal life and happiness.
or iHrcbauctt provide for them Purga
torial experiences, to make them At.
righteous and acceptable for life eter
nal. As a whole. Christian people are
greatly bewildered. The teudeucy of
their bewilderment Is toward doubt,
skepticism, atheism.
The other view briefly stated Is that
God never Intended the salvation of
the world, but merely the salvation of
the Church, elect according to the fore
knowledge of God through sanctlticu
tlon of the Spirit and belief lu the
Truth. Those who hold this theory
have great confusion also, because It
seems Incomprehensible that God
would make no provision for "thou
sands of millions' of Adam's race, but
arrange for them to be born In sin.
xbapen In Iniquity, and to go down to
the tomb (or worsei without a clear
knowledge of God and his purposes
and will respecting them.
As we have already frequently set
forth, both of the described theories
are erroneous. The Scriptures set
forth two salvations, entirely separate
and distinct. They are different as re
spects time. In that the one "salvation
began to be spoken by our Lord" at
his First Advent, and began to be ap
plicable to his Church at Pentecost,
and will wholly cease at his Second
Coming lu the eml of this Age. The
other salvation uelther applied before
our Lord's First Advent nor during
this Gospel Age. but will apply to all
mankind, except the Church, during
the Millennium the thousand years
of the reign of Christ and the Church,
specially designed for the blessing of
the world aud Its uplifting out of sin
and death conditions.
These two salvations are distinctly
different as to .kind, as well as respect
their plan of operation. The salvation
of the Church during this Gospel Age
xiuce Pentecost means not only a
deliverance from sin and death condi
tions to eternal life, but provides that
the eternal life will be on the heaven
ly or spiritual plane and not ou the
earthly or human plane of existence.
Thus tho Apostle declares that our "In
heritance is incorruptible and unde
nted and fadetb not away and Is re
served In heaven for us, who ore kept
by tho power of God through faith
unto salvation" (I Peter 1. 4. 5). Our
Lord also told that in the resurrection
we shall be like unto the angels. The
Apostle also declares that ultimately
we shall be partakers of the divine
nature and like our Lord and Redeem
er. Hence, all who participate in this
salvation of this Gospel Age are Scrlp
turully spoken of as New Creatures In
Christ Jesus, whose "citizenship Is In
heaven." These are assured that at
the Lord's Second Coming they will
constitute the First Resurrection class.
They are guaranteed that only the
blessed and holy will havo part there
in, and that all participating in that
First Resurrection will be Royal
Priests unto God and tinto Christ, and
reign with him a thousand years (Rev
elation xx, 0). They are assured that
the transformation of mlud which
they now experience through the be
getting of tho holy Spirit will, In their
resurrection, result In a complete
transformation, providing them with
spirit bodies. Thus it is written of
their resurrection, "It is sown in weak
ness; it is raised In power: It is sown
in dishonor; it Is raised in glory; It is
sown an animal body; It is raised a
eplrltual body" (I Corinthians xv, -12-44).
Of those who will share in the
Church's sulvatlou the Apostle says,
"We shall not all sleep, but must all
be chauged," because "flesh and blood
cannot inherit the Kingdom ot God"
(I Corinthians xv, CO, SI).
The world's salvation which will fol
low will be wholly different from this.
It will not Include a change of nature
from earthly to spirit nature. It will
mean a rescuo from hIii and death to
the earthly perfection of the original
man, lit the linage and likeness of
his Creator, and surrounded by ev
ery necessary blessing for his com
fort. Human perfection and the Eden
homo were lost through dlsobedlenco
to God. The DJvlpe arrangement Is
jthot the merit of our Lord's obedi
ence unto death, when ultimately ap
plied for mankind, shall fully can
cel the death sentence upon blm. More

feed that the same Stti-OfTcrtnjr shall
seal a New Coveuunt between hlin
1 sol' aud mankind. Tho blesalupi of
1 that New Covenant arrangement will
then immediately beglu. The great
Redeemer will thenceforth be the
great Mediator of that New Cove
nant. The whole ,world of mankind
will be fully under his supervision
and government for their blessing,
their correction In rlghteoustieas. their
upltttlug out of sin aud death con
dltlous back, back. back, to all that
was lost In Eden. All of this was
the original design of the Great Cre
ator. All of this will be outworked
through the Great Redeemer. All of
this was secured or surttlcd by his
death, finished at Calvary (Hebrews
vlU 22).
St. Peter, polntlug dowu to that glo
rious time of the world's blessing, calls
It "times of refreshing aud times of
restitution." He tells us that all the
holy prophets described tho blessings
of thos restitution times the thou
sand years, the Millennium (Acts ill,
lt-21). When once wo get the eyes of
our understanding opened, wo find the
Apostle's words thoroughly corrobo
rated by the Divine records, which de
scribe the wonderful blessings that are
to come when the earth shall yield her
Increase. Then Paradise Lost shall be
Paradise Regained. Then God will
make bis earthly footstool glorious.
Theu the blessing of the Lord shall
make rich aud be will add no sorrow
therewith. Then streams shall break
forth in the desert and the wilderness
and solitary places shall be glad. Out
most glorious will be the change In hu
manity. The Lord promises to turn to
the people a "pure message" Instead
of the contradiction of creeds of hea
thenism and Churchlanity. Ho prom
ises that Satan shall be bound for that
thousand years, that he may deceive
the nations no more. He promises
that then all the "blinded eyes shall bel
opened and all the deaf ears shall be
unstopped" (Isaiah xxxv, S; II Corin
thians It. 4).
Two Salvations Ona Savior.
Doth of these salvations, according
to the Bible, result from the death of
Jesu.s our Redeemer, who died In obedi
ence to the Divine will, "Died, the
Just for. the unjust, that he might
bring us to God" (I Peter 111. ISi. The
Scriptures clearly show not only the
two salvations, but also two parts of
the Redeemer's work, distinctly sep
arating his work for the Church from
bis work for the world. In his death
there was a Divine general provision
for the sins of the whole world and a
special provision for the sins of the
Church. The two thoughts are fre
quently brought out In tho Scriptures.
One text distinctly declares, "He Is the
propitiation satisfaction for our sins
the Church's sins, und not fqr ours
only, but also for the sins of the whole
world." His death constituted the sat
isfaction price. The Redeemer ap
plied that merit for tho Church's sins,
"for us," long ago, eighteen centuries
before we were born. Only when wo
became believers and entered into a
Covenant of sacrifice did we obtain
our share In the merit of that great
sacrifice. The world has not yet re
ceived Jts share of that promised
blessing, but the operation of the Di
vine Plan is sure and will bring It to
them "In due time." as St Paul de
clares (I Timothy 11. 0).
The drawing and calling of the
Church has not been along the lines of
human perfection, for all aro sinners
and none righteous or perfect. And
many of those drawn of the Lord were
by nature much- more fallen and de
praved than some who give no evi
dence of the work of grace In their
hearts. The Lord's calling and draw
ing seem to be along the lines of Jus
tice, love of righteousness, faith, hu
mility and obedience. These quali
ties will all belong to the perfect man.
Out all have lost tbem in varying de
grees. Such as respond to the Lord's
call now are accepted as being In the
right heart attitude which, If they bad
perfect bodies, would constitute tbem
perfect men. In other words, they
have qualities of heart whicb, if
brought to a knowlcdgo of tho Truth,
would prove somo of them to be pure
in heart and such as the Lord would
deslro should have eternal life and all
of his favors. Hut more aro called and
drawn by God's providences and the
preaching of his message than be de
signs to save- In the present salvation.
He Is choosing a very select class for
a very special purposo and thereforo
makes tho terms and conditions of
their salvation extremely difficult. An
a consequence we read, "Many aro
called, but few chosen" under this
"high calling of God In Christ Jesus."
Term of Salvation Differ.
Of course, theso different salvations
Imply different terms or conditions,
God's requirement of Adam, that he
might continue to live forever and
everlastingly enjoy Divine favor, his
Eden Home, etc., was obedience to
reasonable, Just raqulrcmcnts. It was
bis violation of the Divine Law that
brought upon blm tho sentence of
death "Dying thou shalt dlo'V-wlth
all that this has Implied to blm and
bis posterity of mental, moral and
Ibysical decline, weakness, death, Tho

Whoever thou will rentier obedience
inny Willi proportionate rapidity go
up on tlir hluhwny of holiness toward
perfection at Its cud. Whoever tc
fuses obedience to the extent of his
ability will lull to make progress and
ultimately die the Second Death, from
which there will bo no redemption
mid no resurrection.
Such obedience ns will be required
of mankind In the great Mediator's
Kingdom will Include their en-opera
tlon lu the resistance of their own fall
en weaknesses. It will Include the
exercise of patience and kindness to
wards their fellow-creatures, fellow
sufferers. The Divine Iaw of lovo to
God with all the heart, mlud, soul,
strougth aud for the neighbor as for
one's self thoy must learu fully. As
they will realize tholr own blemishes
and strive to overcome them and ask,
uot the Father, but the Mediator for
forgiveness, they will be obliged to
follow the Divine rule of exercising
towards others similar mercy and for
giveness to that which they deslro for
themselves, lint they will not be re
quired to enter Into the covenant of
self-sucrltlce. self-denint, etc. All the
blessings of God ou tho earthly plane
will be for them fully and freely to
use and enjoy, In harmony with the
Divine regulation.
The conditions governing tho salvo
tlon of the Church ore 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 Age and
then to rWii with Christ during the
Millennial Age. participating In his

Let us remember our Lord's words to
the disciples Jamrs aud John, respect
ing a place In his Millennial Throne.
He Intimated that tho getting to the
Throne at all, lu any place, would Im
ply great humility and self-sacriflcc.
Ho asked the disciples. "Arc ye able

shall drink of and to be baptized with
the baptism (Into death) that I am

us we must drink, If we would sit in

Is offered, not to the world, but to

vltatlon was, "This Is my blood of the
New Testament, which Is shed for
many for tho remission of sins. Drink

must all be druuk before the many,
the world, can get their sharo of the
Intended blessing through the New

vision was that the righteousness of
Christ should be imputed to us on ac
count of our faith, and obcdlonce, In
order to permit us to offer sacrifices
holy and acceptable to God (Malachl
Hi, 3; Romans xil, 1).
This view of our participation in the
Redeemer's merit separately and apart
from tho world's participation In It

a "mystory," which uot many are ablo
