through our Lord, Jesus Christ; for by the law "All are under sin, all are gone out of the way, none seeketh after God, all the world are guilty before Him." Thus the need of a personal Saviour. It is the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ which brings in a new order of things, & dispensation of pure grace which means God giving righteousness, instead ot re- quiring righteousness as under the law, and man's responsibility in this day is to accept God's sacrifice for sin which is found in Jesus Christ, Jon. 1: 12, "But as many as received Him to them gave He power to become the sons of God."

But, mark you, man is still a free moral agent and can accept or reject this sacri- fice for sin, but he need not remain in ig- norance as to the result of his choice, whether it be acceptance or rejection, for the result of each is clearly stated iu the following scripture nassages, which are only a few of the many: Juo. 3: 36, 1 Jno. 5: 10, 12, Rom. 6: 23, Matt, 25:32, 34, 41, and note that the everlasting fire (eterual R. V.) mentioned in the last named verse is in no sense intended as a place of punishment for man but was prepared for the devil and his angels, and, judging from personal observation and experience in regard to the charac- ter of his satanic majesty, the place pre- pared for him is a perfectly suitable place, and if suitable for him, why not suited to those who deliberately persist in following him and doing his work, and who prefer bis company to that of tbe Redeemer from sin, Jesus Christ and His saints?

Wenre not to limit God's grace in any sense, nor, on the other hand, must we presume upon it beyond what His word bas declared. If there be a probationary state for the sinner after death His word is so obscure in regard to it that we must conclude that it was not the pur- pose of God that man should neglect his salvation till after death; on the contrary Heplaiuly says, "Now Is the accepted time, behold, now is the day of salva- tinn." Individually we have nowbere a promise of time to repent of sin but the present, "How shall we escape if we negleot so great salvation, whlob at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed uuto us by tbem that beard Him."

White Star Laundry.

I wish to announce that i shall open, February 5, & laundry on Main street, rear of Daua block, upposite the post office, where I will be prepared to do first class hand wurk.

If there is a probatinnary state for sin- ners after death, what interpretation is tn be given Christ's words, where he says to persons nf this class, "I go my way, and ys shinll seek me and sball die in your sins; whither I go ye cannot come."

itent. Agalu, ou the contrary, "But the fearful and unbelieving *** shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone, wbiob is the second death." The death which is the final outcome of a Ilfe nf siu and unbelief is defined In the Bible as a portion In the place of tormeut where will be cast In

the beast and; the false prophet, and sball be tormented day and night forever and ever.

This conception of the future state of those who reject the redemption offered to them in Christ is indeed an awful and appalling me, but is, however, a scriptu- ral conception and a reasonable one when we come to see sin in all its appal- ling unture, and especially the greatest of all sin, that of trending under foot the mercy of God toward winners and reject- ing Jeana Christ whom His love has pro- vided as a Saviour.

As has been truly said, shallow views of sin and of God's hohness, and uf the glory of Jesus Christ and IIis claims upon ns lie at the bottom of weak the. ories of the doom of the impeuitent. When we see sin in all its hideousness aud enormity, the hoffness of God in all its perfection, and the glory of Jesus Christ in all its infinity, nothing hut n doctrine that those who persist In the choice of sin, who love darkness rather han light and who persist in the rejec- tion of the Son of God shall eudure ever- lasting anguish, will satisfy the demands of our own mmal intuitions.

Nothing but the fact that we dread suffering more than we louthe sin and more than we love the glory of Jeans Cluist makes us repudiate the thought that beings who eternally choose sin should eternally suffer, or that men who despise God's mercy and spurn llis Son should be given over to enilless anguish. And so, entirely contrary to the state- ment of our nubelieving friend, the or- thodox Christian in this life does all in his power to bring the unbeliever into a reconciliatory state with God through acceptance of Christ, and at the gate of death consigns his loved ones who have received power tu become sous of God by faith in Jesus Christ to the all-loving and tender Father, into whose family such a loved one has been adopted, "heir of God, joint heits with Jesus Christ." We cousien him to the inheritance in- corruptible und uudefiled reserved in heaven for him.

Aud, on the other hand, the dear one who dellherately and persistently rejects God's offers of mercy we consign at the gate of death to w merciful, just and all. wise judge, one who shall not judge after the sight of bis eyes nor reprove after the hearing of his ears, but with right- vousness shall he judge, for we declare unto you that the Lord is righteous iu all His ways and boly In all His works.

Upon the otter hand, the ohjections

to a syndicate. Further, as the Ray in- terests are so largely identified with Franklin, and so large a sum of money has already heco laid out for their road, it would be hardly fair to allow a com- petlug road to come in direct, since the only reason the North Bellingham and | (4) Lusting for what God had prohibited.

there bas been presented a measure in the lower branch of the Massachusetts legisaturo relative to franchises in pub-

Another electric line is proposed near us, running into Wrentham, It is the Continental Construction Co. of Boston and it has procured franchises for a street railway in Westwood, beginning at the Dedham line, thence through Norway, Sharou, Foxboro and North At- tleboro to Wrentham; is seeking fran- chises in Wrentham and Cumberland, R. 1., and expects to ruu a street car line from Boston connections in West wood to the eastern boundary: of Woon- socket on the Diamond Hill road. Not having any expectation of getting a franchise in that city, and understanding that the Woonsocket Street Railway company's franchise is an exclusive one, they expect to run automobile cars over the high ways to the center of the city.

Legislators and Morals.

In a recent article in Scribner's maga- xine Robert Grant gives utterance to some good thoughts upon the relations of our lawmakers to their constituents and the influence of good men in con- gress. He says: "Most of us try to cling to the fine theory that the legislators of the country represent the best morals and brains of the community, and that the men elected to public office in the councils of the Innd have been put for- ward as being peculiarly fitted to in- terpret and provide for our needs, by force of their predominant individual virtues and abilities. Most of us ap- preciate in our secret souls that this theory is not lived up to, and is available only for Fourth of July or other rhetor- ical purposes. Yet we dislike to dis- miss the ideal as unatia'nable, even though we know that actual practice is remote from it: and. patriots still. we go on asserting that this is our method of choice, vaguely hoping, ke the well- intentioned hut enreless voter, that some day we shall get n decent govern- ment, municipal, state, national-that is, devent from the standpoint of our democratic ideal. And there is another theory, part and parcel of the other. which we try to cling to at the same time, that our pub 'e representatives. though the olniously ornamental and fine specimens of their several constit- vencies, are after all only everydny Americans with whom a host of eiti- zens could change places without dis- paragement to either. In other words. our theory of government is govern- ment by the average, and that the aver age is remarkably h gh. This comfort- able view induces nass like yourself to wrap themselves run " with the Anier- ican flag and sude at destiny, sure that everything wo res /t well with us sooner or uter. and impatient of eriti- c'smer doubts. As a people we delight in pati'ng ourselves on the back and Cism'ssig our worries as mere llea- bites. The hard cider of our patriotism gets readily into the brain and causes us to l'eny fiercely or serenely. accord- ing to our dispositions, that anything serious is the tpatter."

It is found that a large majority of the criminal class who read are deeply interested in the dime novel class of literature. They have not sufficient moral sense, says the Tacoma Ledger. to discriminate between a hero and a bravo ond emulation of these false gods oftentimes is the cause of the reader's downfall. It may be that most of thear, if they were influenced in the right instead of the wrong direction, would become honest workingmen, instearl of vagapones and fnally criminala. After the age of 12 years, with the op portuni- ties for obtaining interesting boots, if he persists in a preference of Old Sleuth stories a dl the adventures of Jess . James or Thlie the Kid, it is high time that his preferences be interfered with and an attempt made to turn them iu another direction by banishing the bad matter and suppo sing its place with wholesome mental pabulum.

HEAVY CORN FEEDING.

Turnips, Pumpkins and Datup Mitil Feed Should Be Given In Con- nection with It.

There Is no ect nomy iu stinting the ration given to growing and fattening Jugs. The aim should always be to in- duce as heavy feeding as possible. Al- ways much care should be given to be- enre perfect digestion, as heavy fre. Ing sometimes causes trouble with the digestive organs. After greci corn comquences there Is always n desire lo hurry the pigs to market, und cura 18 fed to the utmost lin t.

It must be remembered that the mol- ern, quickly-developed pip is a solt creature as compared with his ances. tors of 60 years ago, that the four to six months' old plg will not corn und di- gest it like the yearling or Is-months. old hogs of the past. Something illust be done to keep up the appetite of this young thing.

A range over a grass sward will give exercise, if it is clover sod that they run over they will get much to keep their systems iu tone.

Ilenvy feeding by some may be thought to cousist in having euru al- ways by them. This is not corrert, as they will consume more if fed at siuted intervals and only fed enough to kerp their appetites sharp, When once start- ed to fatten the feeding shonhl be heavy to the huish, as a limited feed- ing is always attended with loss.

It will be found an advantage to give variety in feeding. While corn is the maiu ration, a good grass ration is a help-or an pecasional ferd of pump- kins. Turnips they learn to ent in time as other succulent foods fail thent. Mangels they lake to nt once, and while they may not add much weight they help the appetite. A ration of mill fred is niways accepinble if fed damp and in proper quantity.

We do not regard these things as a cut-off on the amount of corn fed. but rather as an aid to heavy corn feeding. and also an aid in prolonging the time corn may he fed without the hogs stall- ing on it and getting entirely off feed. -John M. Jamison, in American C'ulti- vator.
