June 23. - Pastor
HumsoM delivered
two addresses here
today, one In the
Hippodrome on
Euclid avenue.
Ono of his address
es we report aa fol
lows. Ills text
wns: "And you
who were one time
allennted and ene
mies In your mind
by wicked works,
yet now bntb He reconciled in the body
of nia flesh through death, to present
you holy and unhlameable and unre
provable In His sight. If ye continue In
the faith," ete.-Colooslans I, 21-23.
Our text Is a wonderfully condensed
statement of the grace and power of
the Lord operating in His Church His
faithful footstep followers. The more
we ponder our text and Its context the
more we must admire the lengths,
breadths, depths and heights of the
Divine Power enlisted on our behalf,
and admire also the faithfulness and
ability of the Apostle as the Divine
mouthpiece. It la really too wonderful
for the natural man to believe that the
grace of God could ever present before
the Divine presence and glory, perfect
d, holy, faultless, Improvable, such
Imperfect unworthy creatures as we
ky nature flrel Well did the poet ex
press our sentiments In the words: "I'm
miracle of grace!"
The Apostle Is not speaking of
Power Divine working In the heart of
a perfect mun, fitting him forfclory,
honor and Immortality on the Hcnven
ly plane. lie dec lures, on the contrary,
that DIs words apply to those who
were at one time alienated from God,
opposed to Hlin In their minds as a re
sult of wicked works. Such even Di
vine power Is able to transform. The
key to this transformation lies in the
human will. If It be fully surrendered
to the great Redeemer lie undertakes
to bring about the grand results u
clnred In our text Korce Indeed could
be lined, and the Bcrlptiircs assure us
that force to some extent will be used
during the period of Messiah's relKn,
but now. in selecting those wbo will
be J chub' companions In glory, none
are dealt wltb except such as give to
the Lord their hearts, their wills, de
siring II lio "to work In them to will
and to do of Ills good pleasure."
Roooiniliiition the First 8Up.
The greut Apostle did not neglect to
here reiterate the fact tbut before any
thing could le done by way of recon
ciling si liner to God a sncrillclul work
was neceooary. The great Creator's
wntonce of death upou the race could
neither be iguored by Himself nor by
any other. No reconciliation to Qod
could poHslhly be accomplished which
would bring the sinner back Into full
fellowship and the enjoyment of Di
vine favor and everlasting life except
as the penalty for original sin should
Hint be met Bo. the Apostle reminds
ns that the One who is able to pre
sent us holy and blamoless and unre-
provable Is lie wbo bus already made
wnnrlllntlon for us "In the body of
Ills Orau through death."
Let us pause here long enough to Im
IMfHH upon our minds this great Bib
lical fact that It was the death of
J mix which secures for Father Adam
in lid Incidentally for all of hit race con
Ii-iiii).hI lu IiIiiii a release from the
ili-uth sentence which came upon him
it violator of the Divine Law. And
M us not fowl that thore Is an In
finite difference between a death sen
tence which Qod did I nil let and an eter
iu:l torment sentence which the creeds
nt the Dark Ages misled us Into be
lifting was the Divine penalty pro
iionuced agikliist the sinner.
It was been one the sentence. "Dying,
lliou shiilt die," was pronounced
ut-'iilnst Father Adam that the death
of Jesus was a Itaiinoni price sutUcleut
tu H'ure the almier's release and the
release from death by a remirrectlon of
all of .Adum's iKisterlty who shared
the results of bis sentence. Thus we
eo the force of the Scriptural declara
tion that "as by a man came death, by
ji Man also rame the resurrection from
llir ileuU; for as all lu Adam die, even
fit all In Christ thnll be made alive
rvery maa In his own order," I Co
rlmhlaiis iv, 21 23.
Kut the Father's grace operating In
Christ J anus di'flgns more than nieroly
the abolishment of the death sentence.
To merely redeem Us and merely bring

'with an Imperfection of accomplish
ment but so thorough a work that
when it is finished we will be faultless
and nnreprovabie, not only In the sight
of our Itedeemer, but also In the sight
of our Heavenly Father. Ab, no won
ler if we are astonished at the won
derful power and grace of God which
this declaration reveals!
Ye Are God'a Workmanship.
The tame inspired pen explains else
where to us: "Ye are God's husban
dry," ye are God's workmanship. (I
Corinthians ill, 9.1 Let us not lose
sight of the thought that "It Is God
that worketb Id ns, both to will and
to do of His good pleasure." (Phlllp
plans II, 13.) While the Lord Jesus
Christ, as our Elder Brother and the
Captain of our Salvation and the active
Agent lo our redemption through His
death, is associated with the Father in
all of this work of our perfecting, nev
ertheless we are not to lose s'ght of
the fact that nil things are of the Fa
ther, as all things are by the Son. The
two are in perfect accord, but the
Scriptures assure us that the Plan it
self was the Father's and that He gra
ciously Invited the Bon to the partici
pation which He enjoys.
When we think of the Divine crea
tive Power our minds go out to the
wheeling orbs wblch encircle our earth,
to the millions of suns and hundreds
of millions of planets which fill the
space about us and which we call the
Universe: "Day unto day uttereth
speech, and night unto-night showeth
knowledge; there is no speech nor lan
guage where their voice is not heard"
declaring the omnipotence and omnis
cience of our great God, their Creator.
We say that these are works worthy
of a Creator, nnd we are surprised that
the Great Eternul should In any sense
of the word interest Himself and His
great Power in a transforming work
in connection with our hearts and lives.
Nevertheless, the more we consider it
the more we are convinced that tho
creation of angels was a greator dis
play of Divine Power than tho crea
tion of the worlds. Likewise the crea
tion of man in the image of God was
a far greater creation than that of the
material Universe, because man was
created in the Image and likeness of
His Creator Adam was a miniature
copy of God In the flesh.
The Divine intention respecting
Adam nnd bis race in general, the Bi
ble assures us, is Restitution restora
tion eventually to all that was enjoyed
by onr first parents in Eden and lost
through disobedience sin. The Heav
enly Father has arranged that the Bor
rows and tears Incidental to the reign
of tin and death are not to be In vain.
He purposed man's redemption nnd
restoration from before the founda
tion of the world foreknowing as He
did the course of Adam as a free agent,
bis disobedience and full under the
death penalty.
Thus the Scriptures assure us that in
the Divine purpose Jesus was "the
Lamb slain from before the foundation
of tho world." And they assure us
that the Lamb who was slain Is ulti
mately to ba given the dominion over
the whole earth, nnd for a thousand
years shall exercise a reign of right
eousness, Justice, love and power with
a view to the reclamation and restitu
tion of all the willing and obedient of
the human family and the destruction
of all those who love sin and hate
righteousness and who therefore are
styled "corrupters of the earth." Rev
elation xl. 1H.
We Are God's Now Creation,
At we have Just seen, the great and
Important work of human restitution
the Father bus delivered over entire
to the Eon, the world's Redeemer; aa
we read: "lie must reign until He shall
have put down all enemies" even
denth, the Inst enemy. Then He will
deliver up the Kingdom to God, even
the Fatbor, says 8t I'auL (I Corln
tbluus xv, 21-28.) But our text is not
discussing that work of Restitution
which belongs to tha coming Age of
Messiah's glorious reign of righteous
ness. (Jo tho contrary, it denis with
the specially favored and tpeclnlly
blessed ones who during this Age nre
being called, proved, tested, polished,
prepared for JoluHielrshlp with Jesus
lo Ills Kingdom.
These are special objects of Divine
care, whose blessing consists not In
restitution to earthly perfection and an
earthly F.den home or Paradise. TIkmo
are called of God with n "high cull
ing." a "heavenly 'iilllng"-to be "heirs
of God and Joint-heirs with Jesus
Christ our Lord." (Romans vlll, 17.)
These. St Peter tells us, buve been
granted exceeding great nnd precious
promises, that by these promises I as
the Divine Kiwer or energy working
In them they might become partakers
of the divine nature. II Peter 1, 4.
Ah, now we perceive the special
sense In which Divine Tower It belug
exercised toward the called and elect
Church from that which will be exer
cised toward the world lu goiieraL
Uod la crentlng a new order of beings
in the Universe un order or class on
the divine pin no, which is far above
that of nngels, principalities and pow
er or any other plane In the whole
Universe. This Is the tense, then, In
wblch we are God's workmuushlp and
lowly created of Ului lit Christ Jesus
unto good works.
Only from this standpoint can the
beauty and harmony of the Bible be
discerned. The Father's providences
guided that Jesus should Hist past
through the trials and dlttlcultles and
self-tuerlllces necessary to a demon
stration of ills loyalty, which would
prove 1 1 1 hi worthy of the divine na
ture. And so the Apostle tolls us that
He who whs rich, for our takes be
came poor: tha the toy bumbled
Hlio.ielf and took a bondman's form
in harmony wltb the Divine Program.
"And being found In fashion a Man,
ne humbled Himself" still further.
even to deutlt, "even the death of the
cross.1 "Wherefore inso Ion this ac
count God hath highly exulted Him,
and given Iliui a inune tbut is above
every name, that ut the name of Jesus
every knee should bow, loth of things
In heaven and things on the earth."
Phllipplans li. 6-10.
Nor did the New Creation cease wltb
this exaltation of the Logos, the Re
deemer of men, to the Father's right
band of power and honor and glory,
that "all men should honor the Son
even as they honor the Father." (John
v, 23.) On the contrary. St. Paul ex
plains to us a Mystery, hidden from
previous Ages and Dispensations, but
now made known nnto God's saintly,
namely, that the Divine purpose is that
a Church class shall be selected dur
ing this Gospel Age. to share with the
Logos, Jesus, His exalted glory and
honor, dominion and power end divine
nature as a Rrido class. Thus we
read: "It became Him the Father!,
In bringing many sons to glory,
to make the Captain of tbelr salva
tion perfect through suffering." He
brews II, 10.
And now, as the Father's Repre
sentative and agent, for eighteen hun
dred years the Redeemer has been do
ing the work of preparing this class
wblch is to be His Bride and Joint
heir in His Kingdom the class which
is to be associated with Him in the
Judging end blessing of the world of
mankind in general. I Corinthians
Tl, 2.
"Ye See Your Calling, Brethren.
St Paul, pointing out the privileges
of those who are now7 being called,
says, "Ye see your calling, brethren,
how that not many wise men after the
flesh, not many mighty, not many no
ble are called," but chiefly "the poor
of this world, rich In faith, heirs of the
Kingdom." (I Corinthians I. 20; James
II, 5.) Those who possess the blessings
of the present life in great abundance
are thereby disadvantaged respecting
this great High Calling, while the poor
of this world have tbelr compensation.
for the things of the present time hav
ing less attraction for them, tbelr eurs
and hearts and "the eyes of their un
derstanding" are more rendy to discern
the glorious things of the Divine reve
lation, which the natural eye hath not
seen nor the eur heurd things which
God bath in reservation for those that
love Him supremely for those whose
lore for God manifests Itself in a full
consecration of mind and body to know
and to do the Divine will.
Our text tells us of the possibilities
of our "calling" of whnt God through
Christ Is able and willing to do for us
even bringing us to a perfection of ho
liness and fnultlcMsncs In the Divine
presence at tho end of our race course.
But there are coimIIMoiih. our text tie
Clares, namely: "If ye continue in the
faith, grounded and settled, nnd he not
moved away from the Hope of the tins
pel, which ye have he, ml and which
was preached to every rrentuie which
was under heaven "- Vi'M- 'j:t
Since there are coiiilitiiuis. we must
give them earnest heed: for how could
we be careless or Indifferent In re
spect to so high a culling: so heavenly
a Prize as this set before us? Care
lessness, neglect Indifference in respect
to the terms or conditions, would be
manifesting a lack of appreciation of
the gift, the privilege, the opportunity;
and this In turn would menn that
thereby we murk ourselves In the
Lord's estimation as unworthy of the
proffered honors and glories.
"The Hope of the Gospel."
It should not surprise us that the
Apostle lays great stress upon the
"Hope of llir Gomel." God Is not work
ing In us wltb tools of Iron and at. el
or gold or sliver to transform or to
polish us. Ills fnshlonlug and trans
forming tool Is the Hope of the Gos
pel. It Is tbls Hope wblch the Apos
tle declares we should "have as an
anchor to our soul, both sure and
steadfast entering Into that wblch Is
within the veil, whither our Forerun
ner Is for ut entered." (Hebrews vl,
10. 20.) Thut we will be settled nnd
grounded and safe In all the storms of
life, great and small. Our anchorage
of faith will give ut the assurance of
the Divine promise, that "all things
hall work together for good to those
wbo are the called according to Ills
purpose," to those who are the
'Hurry oblecte of Ills graca,
Deetlnod to behold Ilia Ucs."
But tbe Divine arrangement Is that
In order to continue In tbe faith we
must feed continually upon tbe prom
ises of God, and must allow them to
have a sanctifying power in our minds.
In our hearts and over onr words and
conduct making us more and more
copies of God's dear Son. As our text
Intimates and other Scriptures tell ns,
tho Adversary will seek to move ns
sway from the glorious promises of
the Gospel, putting fear-a an Incen
tive distend of love, or attending us
by worldly pleasures or pride or "the
love of money," which It "a root of nil
evil." Our worthiness to bp of the
Now Creation will be demonstrated by
tbe fnllhfulm-s, tbe persistency with
which we will bold on nnd strive
against the oppositions of the world,
the flesh and the Adversary, end more
and more seek and enjoy the fellow
ship of the Father and of the Son,
If we know these things, happy will
wo bo If we allow them to exorcise us
both to will and to do the Fathers
good pleasure, to tho extent of our
ability as new creatures In Christ If
we do so, lie who begnn the good work
will complete It In tbe Day pf tbe
Lord Jesus Chrlst-ln the Mornlnr of

The bridal couple at the seashore la
always more than Interesting. They
perform more stunts at the ocean
than they do Inland. The one at New
port last week was as cute and play
ful fa two kittens. She had a narrow
escape of being left an old maid. De
termined to marry, the had landed a
rather Immature fellow of good inten
tions but no experience. Besides lov
ing him, she bad to manage him. . She
could hardly keep her bands off htm
and he did not object. She wns no
longer very young, hut quite good-
looking. In fact she was a near-peach
a nectarine with a perfect peplnin
waist (If you don't know what that
Is, tee latest fashion Journal.) She
asked Mrs. Abbey why the gulls all
sat alone on top of a piling. That
was no way to live.

Speaking of Mrs. Abbey, the pioneer
hotel woman of Newport, she takes an
Interest In the comfort and welfare rf
the visitors whether they stop ut the
Abbey House or not. Wednesday night
the hacks, automobiles and baggage
wagons had backed up to the steamer
dock bo as to leave no passage way
for the summer tourists as they came
oft the boat Mrs. Abbey crooked her
finger at the chief of police. She gave
a short order to the man with the
star. In a few moments there was an
opening cleared the full width of the
dock so that everybody ' could meet
and greet their friends as they got off
the boat. Mrs. Abbey Is probably the
most influential citizen of Newport

The fastest boat on the bay is Ca'pt.
Morgensen's, of Oystervllle. It Is a
twenty-mlle-an-hour craft with a high,
bow and long flat back. With the tide
it will beat the C. & E. train on a
straight run. The captain has never
landed at Newport, but comes down
the bay sometimes and circles the
sandsplt with a roar.

Capt. Francis Saltus has the engines
in bis new fast sea-going motor boat,
the Arrow, built at Coos Bay. They
