Mrs. Menora Johnson, weight 307, height 6 feet 2 inches, age 100, washes once a. week, bakes twice a• week, cases for a seven -room house, sews for ^two little girls she "took in" four years ago because she was lonesome, cooks for their father who boards with her, and walks each Saturday to the Seventh Day Adventist Church, at Garth - age, Missouri. Her hair is thick and white, her flesh firm, she has sixteen perfectly sound teeth, she never has been in a dentist's chair, end she can seed large type without glasses.. Her present busy days follow a life that has had much more of excitement than that of the average woman. Mrs. Johnson was born in Scot- land, May 2, 1814, the daughter of a sea captain. She traveled with her father during her girlhood and was preparing to learn the tailor trade in Aberdeen when She be- camre ill of smallpox, After re- covery she served as a smallpox nurse. I•n 1826 she was married to a young civil engineer and devoted her life to her home and the sick until 1855, when she volunteered to come to America for service in, the cholera epidemic, one of a party of forty nurses sent from Scotland. She went to Cincinnati, where she served nine months, On: her return to Scotland she persuaded her hus- band to come to America, and they lived at Marietta, Ohio, whenoe she volunteered as a, union nurse in the civil war and was assigned Sigal's division, When she was discharged from the army she was assigned to accompany twelve southeast Mis- souri soldiers to their homes, and the .families of the men made her so welcome that she sent for her husband to join her. In 1869 her husband was killed by frontier robbers. A band of cattle- men found his body, and buried it and sent word to Mrs. Johnson. Left practically ,penniless. with a large family of children, she mused, farmed, worked by the day, sewed and did everything that pro- mised an honest penny, Mrs. Johnson has fifty-eight grand-ohil rent but none lives near her, aria She became lonely. So in 1910 she becaslie foster mother to two motherless girls, and she cares for them and makes all of their clothes. 141'8, Johnson says her father lived to be 127. and her mother was a very active young woman when killed' in an accident at fifty-eight, People nowadays, she thinks, are killing themselves with their food, She believcas that' eat too . much grease.

Sin cannot be over- come and the tendencies of sin can- not be ohecked in any other way. It is folly for men to :preach any other doctrine. It is not impossible for the Ethiopianto change his skin? There is no process known to science whereby the color of the •skin of a human being can be changed. The nature of man is more fixed than the color of his akin. Is there any process in nature, science or mechanics \whereby the leopard can change his own spots 4 The spots on a man's character put there by the. fall are more fixed than the spots on a leopard. Is it possible for the man to do good, as the result of natural re- quirements, whose nature leads him in the paths of wickedness, un - righteousness and evil'? It would be easier for the Ethiopian to change his skin and the leopard to remove his spots than for the depraved na- ture to produce the fruits of righte- ousness. A. Man's Destiny is fixed by the tendencies and de- pravity of his own nature. A man can't lift himself by his own boot- straps; neither can he change his own nature by the artificial means provided by himself. That is the reason Christ said : "Marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must be born again." Nature is produced by birth. You can't patt on a 4111- Wye natore ; it must be generated. You may throw around an mire - generated man the restraints of tate law, the environments of so- ciety and the rules of college life, but you will never change his na- ture. He still loves darkness bet- ter than light and when the proper The Rev. Mr. Lawrence lied boarded for so long a time with the Granby family -that when he was obliged to remove to a new field of labor, the family keenly felt his loss.

It is folly for men to devise plana of :salvation, because every plan devised and every religion inaugu- rated every cult bo -day be n g offered to the people is of human origin' and has unchanged and im- moral naturesfor a basis. All of these fictitious cults are the pro- duct of depravity and are monu- ments to man's rebellion against God. God has provided a plan of salvation, an effectual plan, that will generate .a new nature, free from the taints of sin and from the depravity produced in the ofcl na- ture by sin. Salvation is a SiatpleThing. Accept God's plan, and you win be saved, and the eternal bless nr. ,rf God will distill upon you tn. i it- out eternity. "Ye must be born agu'.1 " You cannot deny the necessims of a new birth and the blessings that come from the second birth. You can't change the nature of a man by the treatment of his hddc; you cannot correct the depravity of his soul by putting a plaster en his back: It is impossible to change t'ne. nature of a man by telling him to deny the supernatural and to be- come a utilitarian. It_ is impt-eihle for a mann to wprk him_e.: into heaven. The fleet-footedness of the leopard does not change his spots. No man can reach God by works. If God conies into his heart it will not be because the man has merited salvation. Salvation is the gift of God bestowed because of the grace and love of God, not because there is any merit in the man. --'Rev. Mark A. Matthews.

Mrs. Menora Johnson, weight 307, height 6 feet 2 inches, age 100, washes once a. week, bakes twice a• week, cases for a seven -room house, sews for ^two little girls she "took in" four years ago because she was lonesome, cooks for their father who boards with her, and walks each Saturday to the Seventh Day Adventist Church, at Garth - age, Missouri. Her hair is thick and white, her flesh firm, she has sixteen perfectly sound teeth, she never has been in a dentist's chair, end she can seed large type without glasses.. Her present busy days follow a life that has had much more of excitement than that of the average woman. Mrs. Johnson was born in Scot- land, May 2, 1814, the daughter of a sea captain. She traveled with her father during her girlhood and was preparing to learn the tailor trade in Aberdeen when She be- camre ill of smallpox, After re- covery she served as a smallpox nurse. I•n 1826 she was married to a young civil engineer and devoted her life to her home and the sick until 1855, when she volunteered to come to America for service in, the cholera epidemic, one of a party of forty nurses sent from Scotland. She went to Cincinnati, where she served nine months, On: her return to Scotland she persuaded her hus- band to come to America, and they lived at Marietta, Ohio, whenoe she volunteered as a, union nurse in the civil war and was assigned Sigal's division, When she was discharged from the army she was assigned to accompany twelve southeast Mis- souri soldiers to their homes, and the .families of the men made her so welcome that she sent for her husband to join her. In 1869 her husband was killed by frontier robbers. A band of cattle- men found his body, and buried it and sent word to Mrs. Johnson. Left practically ,penniless. with a large family of children, she mused, farmed, worked by the day, sewed and did everything that pro- mised an honest penny, Mrs. Johnson has fifty-eight grand-ohil rent but none lives near her, aria She became lonely. So in 1910 she becaslie foster mother to two motherless girls, and she cares for them and makes all of their clothes. 141'8, Johnson says her father lived to be 127. and her mother was a very active young woman when killed' in an accident at fifty-eight, People nowadays, she thinks, are killing themselves with their food, She believcas that' eat too . much grease.

Sin cannot be over- come and the tendencies of sin can- not be ohecked in any other way. It is folly for men to :preach any other doctrine. It is not impossible for the Ethiopianto change his skin? There is no process known to science whereby the color of the •skin of a human being can be changed. The nature of man is more fixed than the color of his akin. Is there any process in nature, science or mechanics \whereby the leopard can change his own spots 4 The spots on a man's character put there by the. fall are more fixed than the spots on a leopard. Is it possible for the man to do good, as the result of natural re- quirements, whose nature leads him in the paths of wickedness, un - righteousness and evil'? It would be easier for the Ethiopian to change his skin and the leopard to remove his spots than for the depraved na- ture to produce the fruits of righte- ousness. A. Man's Destiny is fixed by the tendencies and de- pravity of his own nature. A man can't lift himself by his own boot- straps; neither can he change his own nature by the artificial means provided by himself. That is the reason Christ said : "Marvel not that I said unto thee, ye must be born again." Nature is produced by birth. You can't patt on a 4111- Wye natore ; it must be generated. You may throw around an mire - generated man the restraints of tate law, the environments of so- ciety and the rules of college life, but you will never change his na- ture. He still loves darkness bet- ter than light and when the proper The Rev.

It is folly for men to devise plana of :salvation, because every plan devised and every religion inaugu- rated every cult bo -day be n g offered to the people is of human origin' and has unchanged and im- moral naturesfor a basis. All of these fictitious cults are the pro- duct of depravity and are monu- ments to man's rebellion against God. God has provided a plan of salvation, an effectual plan, that will generate .a new nature, free from the taints of sin and from the depravity produced in the ofcl na- ture by sin. Salvation is a SiatpleThing. Accept God's plan, and you win be saved, and the eternal bless nr. ,rf God will distill upon you tn. i it- out eternity. "Ye must be born agu'.1 " You cannot deny the necessims of a new birth and the blessings that come from the second birth. You can't change the nature of a man by the treatment of his hddc; you cannot correct the depravity of his soul by putting a plaster en his back: It is impossible to change t'ne. nature of a man by telling him to deny the supernatural and to be- come a utilitarian. It_ is impt-eihle for a mann to wprk him_e.: into heaven. The fleet-footedness of the leopard does not change his spots. No man can reach God by works. If God conies into his heart it will not be because the man has merited salvation. Salvation is the gift of God bestowed because of the grace and love of God, not because there is any merit in the man. --'Rev. Mark A. Matthews.
