an operative principle. A charity that
consists merely in desire and the expres-

tures all along teach men to judge -both

evidence according' to which Christ will

that of "Rehab the harlot" as example
of faith with works. Paul says that
"Abraham believed God, and it Was

43). He was accounted righteous, bo'
foie God. He evidenced his faith in

(Faith and Works.)
I. Justification, justification is 11
"settieg right." To 3ustify means, "to
make �r declare right." In court the
only way a prisoner can be justified is
to be found uot guilty. If acquitted he
is justified, deolaeed innocent and just,
If found guilty, not the highest judicial
authority can justify him, The president
might pardon, but he could not justify
him. Some friend might take his punish.,
ment but not his guilt. Nothing, could
change his character. He would be 4
criminal still, But "the thinge which ere
impossible with 111071 aro possible with
God" (Luke 18, 27). Christ not only bore
the sineer's punishment; He takes
away theesinuer's guilt. He was "made
sin on our behalf; that We might be-
come the righteousness of Gil, in him"
1(2 Om. 5, 21),
II. Faith. Without faith it Is im-
possible to please God (Heb. 11. 16).
Without faith Iva may got think to "re-
ceive anything.frora the Lord" (Jas. 1.
6, 7). Faith is taking God at his word.
It -is tieing fully persuaded thot what
God lute promised He is able to oedema
(Rone. 4, 21).
111, Justification by faith. "Therefore,
being justified by faith we have peace
with Gocl" (Rpm. 5; 1.) "By grace are
ye neve through faith .. not of works"
iEph. 2; 8, 9.) "Knowing that a inan
is not justified by the works of the law,
but by. the faith of 'Jesus Christ, even
we have believed in Jeeus Christ, that
we might be justified by the faith of
Christ, and not by the works of the
law; for by the works of the law shall
no flesh be justified" (Gal. 2; 104
Three times in this verso are sve told
that we are not justified by works and
three times that we are justifi ,by
faith. The father of Queen Victoria, in
the prospect of death, expressing some
ecamern about the state of his seul, his
physician endeitsvored to sothe his wind
by
reminding himeef his good and hon -
arable conduct in the distinguished, sit -
nation in which Providence, had placed`
him. But the Duke of Kent stopped
him and said, "If I am to be saved it is
not as a prince, but as a sinner."
IV., Faith shown by works. "I will
show thee my faith by my works" (v.
18.) "Faith apart from works is 'bar-
ren" (v. 20, R. V. "By works is faith
made perfect" (v, 22.) In God's sight
men are justified by faith (Rom. 5; 1.)
But men can only know our faith by
our works. "Ye see how that by works
a man is justified" (v. 24.) God sees the
heart but the- "obedience of faith"
(Rom. 16; 26) is man's testimony be-
fore the world. By faitb, Abraham when
hoe was called, obeyed (Heb. 11; e.) He
showed his faith when he offered'. up
Isaac upon the altar (v. 21.) God said,
"Take now thy son!" and "Abraham
rose upeearly in the morning" to do as
he was bidden (Gen. 22; 2).
V. Justification by works." By works
man is justified" (v. 24.) Paul and
James seem to contradict each other.
They both use the same illustration.
"Abraham believed God, and it was
counted unto him for righteousness";
bot Paul concludes, "Now to him that
wovketh is the reward not reckoned of
grece, but of debt. But to him that
worketh not, but believeth on him that
justifieth the ungodly, his faith is
counted for righteousness' (Rom. 4; 3,
5.) James concludes, "Ye see [not God
sees] then how that by 'works a man is
justified, and not by faith only" (vs.
23, 24.) Paul is speaking of faith and
works 'With reference to persons." We
are justified before God when he sees
our faith; we are justified before men
when they see our works. Paul and
James express analogous • and, identical

Brantford despateh: The public seldom
hears of instances where an employee
of 4 _railway has bad the responsibility
for the lives of a thousand passengers
thrust upon him hi an emergency when
every vital force thatea man possessed;
every ounce of physical exertion,
every brainal tissue at his command hat
to work overtime to be equal to the oc-
casion. Such a man was Thomas J..Nel-
son, the popular city ticket agent of the
Gsrand Trunk Railway at Brantfoed.
It is no exaggeration to say citat Mr,
Nelson as a tram despatcher in Ham-
ilton made a record in that depart-
ment which will always stand unbrok-
en in Canadian railroad history. His
feat was unique and was one which
the .highest officials of the Grand
Trunk at Montreal could not overlook.
but passed on to their employee a high-
ly commendatory letter accompanied
by a presentation in gold of $50, The

in the.. old single track days between
Hamilton and Niagara Valls and in-

always stand unchallenged. Train
Despatcher Nelson, then young man,
had under his „,,control in the short
hours; of a hot summer night no less
than 13 sections of a solid vestibuled
trate bound for Chicago on the single
track from the bridge. Not one of
those trains missed a tenth of a min-

to arrive and depart and not one was

' with the territorial tinny took the term
of a desk by 700 troops to Scarborough
from 14etals, n diStalle0 of 03 miles.
The idea wasothat the British navy

eign troops had landed at several
pollute on the northeast coast, and,
raids were being made on different
towns, including Scarborough. The

Seventh Battalion, West Yorkshire
Reghnent (Leeds Rifles), are about to
entrain et Leeds, intelligence is re-
ceived Mit the invaders have out the
railway. A dash to Scarborough by
motor ear is then resorted to.
' As the Leede Rifles are nearly 1,000
stroug, at leasf."200- motor carsware
required to carry the full 'strength of
the battalion. The Yorkshire Automo-
bile Association made a great effert to
secute the loan of suficient ears, but
without success. The result was that
over 200 men were unable to make the
journey.
The invading force, represented by
200 regular troops from the Second
Battalion, Yorkshire Regiment, 4 few
members of the local territorial force
as scouts and 23 men with two guns
from the North Riding field artillery,
was /encountered at Searner, six miles
from Scarborough. The majority of
the cars had covered the distance in
a little over three hours. After an en-
kagement lasting forty minutes, the de-

-A. NEW GRAVE.
One Near Owen Sound Opened and
an Infant's Body Found.
Owen Sound despatch; The discov-
ery of a new grave in the Lutheran
Cemetery at Williamsford on March
18, for -which no burial certificate had
been issued, occasioned no little talk
in the neighborhood, and the Attor-
ney -General instructed Coroner 13u11
of Holland Centre to conduct an in-
quirer, which was begun with the
opening of the grave which cbiatained
the body of a newborn baby. The
jury, after listening to the evidence,
found death to be due to a. fall or a
blow inflicted by home person or per-
sons unknown,
The verdict was reported to the
Criminal Investigation Department of
flee Ontaeio Government, and In-
spector reeburn was detailed to in-
vestigate. His inquiries convinced
him thet there had been no foul play.
Dr. Smith, of Bernick, wilt; was pres-
ent at the birth, gave 'his opinion at
the time that the child mild not live.
Maggie Bleich, a German girl, 16
years old, Of Williamsford, the mother
of the infant, admitted that her bro-
hter had placed it he the cemetery.
Inspector Reburn prosecuted his in-
quiries further, and as a result the
father of Maggie Bleicli preferred a
serious charge against Arthur Dar -
gavel., of Dornick, who will appear be-
fore the Magistrate on May 27.

CORPSE SAT UP
When Coffin Slid From Hearse and
Mourners Screamed.
Bolivar, May 25. -Ira Bixby, -a
prominent citizen of Sharon Centre,
Pa., 12 miles southeast of here, was
buried yesterday. While the funeral
party was accompanying the body to
the cemetery,. ene nearse doors flew
op.... suddenry and the casket shot
out, one and striking the ground. The
lid of the casket cpened, and the betty
of Mr. Bixy arose in a sitting position
to the astonishment of the spectators.
Some of them screamed at the un-
usual sight. But for the presenc,e of
mind and great physical strength of
C. A. Wolcott, vice-president of the
First National Bank of Shinglehouse,
the casket would have broken to
pieces on the stones on which it fell.
Mr. Wolcott, who was one of the
pall -bearers, wail standing hear the
hearse, as it started up the steep
grade to the eernetery.
When the doom of the hearse flew
open and the casket came out he
caught hold of it. Exerting all of his
strength, he steadied the head of the
. casket to the ground, still keeping
the foot of the coffin in the hearse.
The easket was not damaged and in
a few minutes the body was again in
position in the casket, and thh burial
rites were spoken. The accident was
caused through failure to set the
steel safety bar in place just inside
the rear doors of the hearse.
