Adam is a physical and moral wreck, aim the flau,g sword guards the tree of life lest he eat thereof and live. The uurestrained communion between the Orator and his crowning handiwork being voluntarily broken, there can now be no access to the Xing by the ie bel except through a go-bet ween, a Mediator. In the unfolding of the plan by which rebels may not only but sit at the royal tables, we have as darkly, but we face to face. The Atonement. This Atonement on Calvary is fled man. Justification. JustiGcaii' n is an instantaneous therefore, the central truth of both j act performed but once upon the (he Old and New Testaments and ! S iUie individual. It is a legal term to it is hi.ehe l chains ot doctrines ! and has reference to a believer's leading in one direction or another i slanding before the court of Heaven according as we interpret the ex tent and scope of this Atonement. As stated, we will follow that chain called Calvinistic, endeavor ing to make a readable article as I we attempt to unfold its links with out defense or controversy. The word Atonement as used in the scriptures means that satisfac tion for sin made by the life and especialy the death of Christ, and is an fvpiaiion approved as com plete bv the court of Heaven in It includes not only his treatment as if he had never sinned since the perfect righteousness of Christ wrought for him is placed to his credit as a basis of his acceptanc before God. ADOPTION. ijeiug justified freely by his fei-ace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: whom God has set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood to de clare his righteousness for the re- that God raised him from the dead, i mission of sins, tue believer is now the "History of .Redemption' ' evealed in the ScViptues. The Covenants. In its opening chapters, the federal head of the race is intro ducedunder a conditional agree ment by which he is to purchase purity and happiness, that con dition being simple obedience to God on his part. Under this cove nant Adam was only a holy ser vant so long as he obeyed, living nns from day to dfjy with no vest- J rights for ie future fider the restomug covenant, n's Its Scope. As we view the sin-bearer upon the cross, three propositions are suggested as exhausting the pos sibilities of this unique sacrifice. Christ either made atonement (1) for all the sins of all people, or (2) for some of the sins of all people, or (3) for all the sins of some people. Were the first proposition true, then all would be saved, but this view is held by so few, it is not worth our while to consider it here, if the second be true, then uone are saved since the remaining sins ye j unatoned for would work de struction upon all. In the light of this reasoning it follows there fore, that Christ made atonement for all the sins of some people. Granting this, Ihe si us thus atoned i - 1 cement, made with the second i 101 u U(iver ue punisoeu a secomi Christ, the condition 0f i time in tbe persons tor wlioru this complete satisfaction hps been made. ''The some people" referr ed to are the piomiseu seed given to Christ for the travail of his soul being included iu the covenant -of grace they can never fall therefrom because of the all embracing effect of the Atonement made for them. While Christ is an infinite being his atonement is all sufficient in its power to redeem a world, yet il has pleased God to limit its effect to those who are the called accord ing to his purpose. To -summarize, Christ having made satisfaction for all the sins of some people, they having been chosen in him before they had doue any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand (Rom. 9, 11,) it is therefore contray to this purpose that anj who are iucluded in this Covenant of grace should ever fall therefrom for their sins having been atoned for once, the can never rest under condemnation for the same trans gressions. Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? s siniDle faith on ni is to be elevated to a place ;j the family of a divine er, and vested with certain in- nable rights. A closer relation ship is thus established between man and the Godhead then would have been possible through the first Adam. In this connection it has been beautifully said by John Randolph, that though woman lost us Paradise by her influence over the first Adam, by her being tLe mother of the second Adam, she has gained us Heaven. To work this transformation taxed the wisdom of divinity. The Substitute. Under the broken law man or justice must die. Could however an innocent being, up: whom the law had no claim, be found willing to become man's substitute, take his nature, obey the law in his stead, and suffer (he death penalty resting upon him, then God could be just and yet justify the ungodly such as was found in the voluntary offering of the immaculate son. - Assurance of success is given him in the promised se- Ine com pact is made, in the dim distance tne erected cross hides the rath of the King beneath its shadow justice and mercy embrace each other and man beholds the face of a reconciled God. Tiut a linger ing dawn ensues before the son of rigbtousness arises iu full splendor. During this period of shadow his coming is prefigured by the piiest hood, the sacrifices, and all the "fHtroi rthgt constituted the God-appointed fXhip of the Old Testa ment. Aaroirand his successors were the transient representatives of the High Priest of our profession Christ Jesus, and the paschal lamb a passing type of Christ our pass over who is sacrificed for us. This much to show tha"lLot and all the Old Testament worthier, if saved at all, were saved by the one atonement made on Calvary. I..rtber conformation of this is found in ihi:3 ''Gallery of the Saints" as portrayed in eleventh chapter of Hebrews. The only dif feience in the relationship to Christ between them and the latter day saints being the point cf view they looking forward to Calvary while wp look backward to the same j enrolled in the family of God, with nil the privileges of the sons of God; an heir of God and joint heir with Christ. This constitutes the believer's legal status in the court of Heaven. These three acts en umerated above aie ordered by di vine decree and in them there are no degrees. The humblest, weak est child of God w hen regenerated, justified and adopted is as much so as the Apostle Paul himself. S ANTI FI NATION . Xot so, however with the last mentioned benefit procured by the Atouemcut-Sautiticatiou. This is a gradual process carried on by the spirit in the life of a believer and is as vaniug ir degrees as is the dispositions, foibles arid natural trend of believers themselves. Tt is in this gradual process cf elimi nating gin and substituting right eousness that the elements now within the regenerated soul are at 17 Cents Cotton. Charlotte Chronicle. That is the talk now and it comes from the operations of Patten, the celebrated speculator in wheat, who has gone to New York and opened an office in Wall Street for the purpose of taking a whirl at the cotton market. Patten is said to have formed a bull pool through which he expects to drive cotton up to 17 cents. He says he is con vi need that "the present cotton crop will sell above 17 cents that the record prices of the Sully year will be bettered. This conclusion is based solely on crop conditions and the increase consumption of the staple and he says he knows the outlook to be pojr in all pro ducing States, especially in Texas, which is the most important of all. J One new factor he counts on is the demand that will be made for cot ton in the manufacture of automo bile tires. He thinks that this demand will absorb 350,000 bales. Another thing he believes is that the tariff on wooleus will result iu a much larger consumption of cot ton clothes iu this country. Pat ten declares that he is in the cotton market to stay, and that his present plan is to buy. He is confident that he will be as successful in cot ton as he was in wheat. At any rate, his experience in cotton isgo iug to be watched with interest. HAPPENINGS AROUND TOWN. Attorney Nicholson, of StatesviHe, was among the court visitors last week. Z. V. Long, of StatesviHe, were among the court visitors in town last week. Mrs A. W. Jamison, is visiting relatives and friends iu StatesviHe for some time.

This conflict against the tripple illiance the word, the flesh and the devil, is the crucible in which the genuineness of the tripple acts enumerated .above may be stested. (Continued next week.) Great Crowds at Circus. Many people here plan to see Barn u m and Bailey at Winston. Mocksville w . oe v.ell represented at Winston, on Oct. loth, when the Baruum and Bailey greatest show on earlh exhibits there on that date, for a great many of our citi zens have already expressed, them selves as having made up their minds to attend.

J It has been made public by words I spoken by the greatest Apostle that history records, yet he said he was the least Apostle, because he was a persecutor of the christians when the Vergeans Darling was on his own earth makinsr the only provision that could be made for the good of the children of men. that Melchisedec, who lived upon this globe duriiyrthe -. . ..... "-v iaj . ot Abraham and that he was a" priest of the most high god. He was also king of righteousness, he said Melchisedec had neither father nor mother, having neither beginn ing of days nor end of life what was the cause of the Apostle Paul using the words that Melchisedec had neither father nor mother neith er beginning of davs nor end of life. Do you suppose that the Apostle Paul who excelled the other Apostles in greatings considered Melchisedec being greater than mortal humanity, and that he was connected with tne God-Head. J. R. Williams. John McCulloch, of Lexington, spent Monday and Tuesday in this city, attending court. Some of our people will go over to Winston tomorrow to take in Barnuni & Bailey's circus. James McGuire, Jr., spent a day or two last week in StatesviHe with relatives and friends, John Naylor, of Winston, came over Tuesday and spent a few days in this section with relatives and frieuds. Work on the new Gaither building is progressing nicely. When finished, it will help the appearance of the town much. Charlie Hill, colored, who lived near the overhead bridge iu South Mocksville, died Tuesday. He leaves a family. Maj or G. E. Home and T. J. Dotson attended the State meeting of the Junior Order at Greensboro last week. Miss Pearl Koontz, of Rou 1, returned last week from a delightful visit to relatives and lriends at Elkin and Wilkesboro.

Luther Daywalt and Austin Jones, both of Route 1, are wearing large grins. Friend Daj wait is nursing a young lady, and Jones is handling a tine boy. Major Home bid off the entire plant of the Mocksville Courier last Monday at 1200. We gladly welcome Mr. Home to the journalistic field, for misery loves company. Our old friend C. A. Guffey, of Cleveland, Route 1, gave us a call last week, and left us a cart wheel, for which he has our profoundest thanks. Would that others had followed his example. Our old friend, O. C. Austin, of StatesviHe, was in town a day or two last week. He got five square meals before leaving, and said u would not return nntil he got hmgry. He rode this time.
