There are increasing" signs from Russia that
point to a readjustment in that troubled country
that will again bring it into active participation
in the great war. Internal dissentions are far
from being settled, and German intrigue has not
yet been wholly beaten, and order has not yet
arisen out of the turmoil and chaos, but the out
look is bright that the Russians are on the high
road to a stable government that will give the
Big Bear of the North its destiny. If conditions
do better themselves, if democracy does triumph j
over the foes that beset it from within and with
out, then in truth a miracle will have been per
formed, and the ability of man to govern himself
will have been forever established.
For Russia has the most difficult task that;
ever before befell a people or a nation. She has
been oppressed since its first existence as a na- j
tion; her people have been down-trodden for a
thousand years. She is assailed on every side by
enemies who wish to deal her a life blow; she is
torn from within by fanatics who mistake liberty
for license. And withal, her resources have been
drained to the bottom by the exigencies of warf
and by the wanton rule and extravagance of the;
House of Romanoff . J
But the Russians are a peasant folk in the
main, and their virtue equals their patience. The
rural population of the Slavic empire are sound,
at the core, and have been accustomed to a degree
of self-government, subject to the approval pf
the Czar. If the leaders of the new. Republic,
measure up to the standard set for them, and' if
they make self-sacrifice their rule and democracy
their ideal, then there is abundant hope for the
new member of the world's republics.
And the lesson of history teaches that
humanity has raised up a big man for a big
place in every crisis of the human race.

The Message
from Golgotha
By REV. B. B. SUTCUFFE
Of Um Extension Dcpartamt, Moody
Bible InatituU, Chicago
TEXT They crucified him, and the
malefactors, one on the rurht hand, and
the other on the left. Luke 23:33. j
Some time ago there was exhibited
In the city of Chicago a large picture ,
called "Golgotha." ,
It was a represen
tation of the scene
when Jesus and
the two thieves
were crucified. In '
the midst of the
crowd and rising
from the brow of
the hill there were
to be seen the
three crosses upon
which w e re the
forms of those cru
cified. The wood
en crosses have
long since fallen
into decay, but the
messages given
from them are still to be heard.
The Center Cross.
From the center cross there comes
the message that provision has been
made for the taking away of man's
sin. This provision has been made by
God alone. He needed no assistance
from man. The prophet has said that
It pleased the Lord to bruise him ; he
has put him to grief (Isaiah 53:10).
Peter has declared that our Lord was
delivered by the determinate counsel
and foreknowledge of God (Acts 2:23).
Dr Dixon's plea last night that there should j ZXSS
be no hoarding of money during the war was ! re yet sinners Christ died for us"
straight to the point, and his condemnation otti'?i 7
what he termed "false economy'' was sound logic! through sacrifice, for jesus was the
Business should go on as usual, as far as possible.! EJSTjFiSZ
in order that the complex structure of modern ; fulfilment of the types of the oid TeS-
NO FALSE ECONOMY
civilization should retain its equilibrium. It is
clear that if every one should cease to buy arti
cles that are not absolutely necessary there would
be famine and desolation in the land, and millions
of people would become haunters of the bread
line. Half the business in our town would be com
pelled to close their doors inside six months, if the
people of this community should practice this
"false economy."
-Money is going to be plentiful, times prosper
ous, and-wages high during the war, and it be
hooves the people of the country not to throw a
monkey wrench into the works by hoarding every
dollar that crosses their palms.

"We've got to win this war.
"If every other ally quits,
got to see it through.
"We will win; we dare not lose!'
These ringing words of patriotism :
were delivered in Washington, D. C,
by Col. Theodore Roosevelt a few
days ago. J
And it is through the Red Cross, to
a great extent, that the battles will
be fought and won. and that peace
will reign over the world once more.
We little realize what is before us.
Of course we know of the slaughter
and the suffering and want across the
sea, but it is only in a vague way that
we feel it.
But wait, wait just a little until
our own brothers, husbands and
friends are dying in the trenches. Then
it will come home to us.
We read that in many cases today
the wounds of the soldiers in France
must be tied up with newspajters for
want of surgical bandages.
When our men are among the
wounded are we going to let theiu suf
fer for want of necessary dressings to
stanch their wounds.
Will we not feed them and clothe
them and succor them as an American
soldier who gives his life for his flag
should be fed and clothed and succor
ed? Why the American people blush
with shame at the thought. Still the
Red Cross in Greenville is calling for
members, it reaches out its hands and
pleads to yon to come up and give your
name, pay your money and become an
annual member, if not an active one.
Every man, woman and child should
become a member. Greenville is be
hind the surrounding towns in membership.
The Red Cross has for its coal. 500
members. Send in your name and
swell the list that much.
Red Cross work is not an idle dream
it is not just a means of amusement
for society women.
It is a crying need for your time,
service and money. If you cannot
give your time and service you can
give your dollar and this is a time
wnen every dollar talks.
tament. The coat'of aklns wherewith
Adam was clothed, the blood of the
lamb which protected the people In
Egypt on the Passever night, the offer
ings of blood of Leviticus, and all the
slain beasts offered In sacrifice, point
to the fundamental truth that "without
the shedding of bloc there Is no re
mission" (Hebrews 9:22). Not only
is this provision made by God alone
and by sacrifice, but It Is made by the
sacrifice of a substitute. Long before
Christ came, the prophet had declared
that "he was to be wounded for our
transgressions and bruised for our In
iquities. All-we like sheep have gone
astray and the Lord has laid on him
the iniquity of us air (Isaiah 53:5, 6).
And when at last that substitute came,
Peter declared that he "his own self
bare our sins in his own body on the
tree" (I Peter 2:24). This one upon
the center cross Is there in man's
place, standing In man's stead, the sub
stitute to whom is charged all of man's
sin , the sacrifice, blotting out by his
own blood, the iniquity of man. This
one is God's provision for the taking
away of man's transgression.
The 8eeond Cross.
The second cross brings us a mes
sage of salvation received. It speaks
to us first of all of a realization of the
need for a substitute, and also convic
tion of sin. When the thief cried,
"Lord remember me," he was voicing
the plea of the publican. "God be mer
ciful to me the sinner." This is fol
lowed by faith in hfan. It Is one thing
to have faith, it is another to have
faith in the proper object. Faith In
deed saves us, but it is faith in Christ
alone. One may have good faith in
a bank, and yet lose his money, not
because there was anything wrong
with the faith, but because there was
something wrong with the object .of
the faith. One may have good faith
In many things and lose his soul, not
because there Is anything wrong with
the faith, but because that faith has
not been centered in the Lord Jesus
Christ, who alone is God's provision
for man's sin. This dying thief could
not come down from the cross and go
back over his record and undo the
things which he had done. He could
not make restitution ; he could not blot
out his record, nor was he given time
to come from the cross and live a good
and upright life, but if he were saved
at all, he had to be saved by what
Christ did and not by anything which
he could do added to what Christ had
done.
The Third Cross.
The message from the third cross
speaks of the Insanity of sin. There
is a story told of a young man who
had committed a crime for which he
was tried and found guilty and sen
tenced to a penitentiary. After he had
been placed in the prison, his mother,
at the expense of a great deal of time
and care, and with many tears, finally
succeeded In securing for him pardon
from the governor of the state. With
Joyous heart, feeling well repaid for

Jack had a little party on his birth
day. His mother had told one of the
little boys not to buy a present. When
this little boy arrived at the party
Jack said: "What did you bring?" but
quickly added, "that's all right if you
didn't bring anything 'cause this par
ty's for nothing."

the long weeks of ceaseless effort, she
went to the penitentiary hearing the
preciotis pardon which would liberate
her boy. WTien at last she stood in
his presence with tears of joy in hc-r
eyes, sne handed to her boy his pra--don.
Instead of being grateful, and in
stead of accepting and making use
of the pardon, the boy deliberately
tore It Into pieces, throwing it upon
'he floor, and stamped upon It with
Jisdain. It is thus that the sinner who
ejects God's proffered salvation treats
tfhat God has to offer. It is the in
sanity ef sin leading on to suicide of
the soul. All one has to do to commit
soul suicide is to reject God's grace.
Back-yard Fences in Boston.
George Gibbs, special investigator
ror the Boston city planning board,
wants wooden back-yard fences abol
ished in that city. He believes such
fences are a nuisance in crowded dis
tricts and an eyesore elsewhere, and
should be replaced by metal it-aces of
an ornamental type. For high-class
residence districts Mr. Gibbs favors
brick or concrete walls for dividing
lines between brick yards.
