CHICAGO, March 24.—Corn was again
the leader in the matter of activity with
the big longs on the buying side on the
opening of the local grain market to
day. Offerings were held tightly and
only those having profits cared to part
with their grain. Wheat was 1% to '4c¢
higher, while the trade was small, but
the feeling was firm.
Oats were % to %c higher and quiet
Provisions were firm.
There was a wonderful lack of bull
steam in the market during the last
hour of to-day's session when prices
were generally weak—%¢ off to un
changed for corn, unchanged to % to
Jic off for wheat, and !3 to %c lower
to unchanged for oats.
Provisions were a shade lower. all
around and dull.

SANCTIFICATION
Text: “Not that I have already ob
tained, or am already made perfect;
but 1 press on, if so be that I may lay
hold on that for which 1 also was
},'”l% hold on by Christ Jesus.”—FPhil
For a long period of time the great
subject of sanctification has been ob
scured in the dust and smoke of an
incessant warfare that its friends and
enemies have waged about it. Logo
machical disputes and continuous
polemical discussions have caused peo
ple to prick up their ears and put on
their thinking caps when even the
‘name 1s mentioned.
Pity it is that such conflicts, preju
dices and thoughtless actions and asser
tions should have crept in from time
to time, and have brought this splendid
Bible doctrine into such disfavor.
Sanctification and perseverance are
but the two sides, the divine and hu
man, of the same fact, and oftentime
our thinking is so cloudy and foggy
that we mistake the one for the other;
viewed from the divine side its advo
cates have claimed sinless perfection,
and thus man's work and part bas
been exchanged for divinitv; viewed
from the human standpoint it has often
led men to believe that they could not
be perfect and therefore excused them
selves as they followed the lusts of the
flesh and the pride and pleasures of life
and continued in open sin.
All Christians fully recognize that our
Lord Jesus while here on earth did a
two-fold work. He came to seek and to
save the lost, or to bring about a per
fect and complete reconciliation be
tween God and man, and also to com
plete in us the work which He had
commenced against that day, which is
sanctification, or the continuous work
of the Holy Spirit in our hearts—bring
ing us mgre and more into the full
likeness of our great example, even the
Lord Jesus.' Reconciliation between
God and man is made perfect in Christ
Jesus. This no one doubts. It has
never been questioned. This is the
work of Christ, who never did an im
perfect work. The other is the growth
and completion of the human life and
goes on from height to height until we
awake satisfied with His likeness.
Safety and Soundness.
After all the average man has not
been up to the present thinking and
expressing his thoughts in very clear
terms. A man may be a safe business
man and not be sound. One may be
able to accumulate millions and yet be
physicaily weak. Here goes a great
vessel ploughing her way through the
waves of the Atlantic, she makes trip
after trip. One day the captain is no
tified that some repairs must be made
before many trips are taken. Finally
she is carried into dry dock for repairs,
safe, of course, but not sound. So with
a man—he may be safe and not sound,
or else why did John in writing to
Christians, those who had been re
deemed, say if we confess our sins, He
will forgive them and that His blood
will cleanse us from all sin?
Dwelling and Reigning.
IPaul rises to heights of perfection
when he says in Romans 6:12: ‘‘Let not
sin therefore reign in your mortal body,
that ve should obey the lusts thereof.”
As long as our bodies are miortal, yvea,
even until by the grace of God this
corruptible shall have put on incorrup
tion, sin is liable to dwell in us, but
not to reign, for Jesus has broken the
dominion of sin and it can after his
entrance have no longer reigning pow
er in the soul of man. Sin occasionally,
like a guest, may come in, but not re
main as does the owner of the house.
As long as there is life there is war
fare. We underestimate the power of
the devil if we feel that as long as we
are here on this earth he will give us
up and allow us fo think perfect
thoughts and do perfect righteouesness.
After ail, =sin ard an impropsr concep
tion of sin has led us into a great
many errors. \What we greatly need in
this generation is a proper conception of
the exceeding sinfulness of sin. Then,
too, there are not only sins of com
mission, such as murder and lying, for
rvication, adultery, stealing, gambling,
and a host of others, but there are sins
of omission, and the things we have
left undone that ought to have been
done are often more numerous than |
the other class. |
Paul recognized this when he gaid: |
“For the gaod that 1 would I /o not, but |
the evil that I would not that I do.”
If then the great aposile to the Gen
tiles did evil and inclined in that dh'w--‘
tion, how can we who are far behind
him in experience and grace hope to
be perfect in the midst of an imperfect
environment? Jesus was—-but he alone
was. ‘““There is none good but God."”
I have a goad friend who is mission
ary to Brazil. Not long since in lhe‘
privacy of my home he was mlkingl
about the missionary work, its joys und‘
its sorrows, and in the cgnversation he
spoke concerning the language. Uf‘
course he had ceased to speak English
in his regular work among the natives,
and said he: “I even think in the
Portuguese language now.” So in this
life, surrounded by sin on every side,
we may not hope to escape -the in
fluerce of the evil one, and two men will
continue to strive for dominion—the
Christ and the devil. Oh! My friends,
do not imagine for a moment that the
devil is going to give up the struggle
as long as there is life, but realize that
we gradually grow into the language,
customs, habits of the land of light, and
slowly, oh, =o slowly, do we get away
from the native tongue rlo which we
bave been accustomed for years and
years, l

ment: There is a child lying there in
its mother's ‘arms—a dear little inno
cent babe, sweet and pure and good as
a babe. But suppose you go back there
and twenty years after find that there
has been no growth and that the child
has remained a child and has not grown
in the grace and knowledge of the Lord
Jesus Christ. Wouldn't it be sad? The
new birth is perfect. Christ’s work of
saving is perfect. He performs no im
perfect work, but remember that birth
and growth are two different things en
tirely,
Look out there at the tiny little peach
that is scarcely as large as the tip of
your finger. Green and sour and small
and not mature. Go there in the sum
mer‘rnd see it, red and ripe and sweet
and Tuscious. A perfect peach as soon
as the blossom was shed, but not a ma
ture peach and a sweet, luscious one,
So in regeneration there is the salva
tion, perfect and complete. but not the
sanctification by any means. That we
have not vet attained. That we press
forward to attain.
Ephesians iv:ls, the Apostle says,
‘Speaking the truth in love, may grow
ap in all things into him, which is the
head even Christ.”” There is the idea of
growth, study, development, increase in
first bearing. Phil. i:6, “Confident of
this very thing, that He which began a
good work in you will perfect it until
the day of Jesus Christ.”
Instrumentality of Holy Spirit.
Tim. 1:14: ‘*That good thing which
was committed unto thee guard through
the Holy Ghost” which dwelleth in us.”
Our bodies are his temples. He lives
in us. How then can men excuse them
seives in sin, and go on living the old
life, not growing and attaining unto
the likeness of the Saviour who loved us
and gave Himeself for us. The higher
up we get in our Christian experience
the more we need the Holy Spirit. The
closer we get to the purity and holiness
of God the more thoroughly censcious
are we of our imperfections and sins
and the less inclined are we to boast
of our gocdness. Isaiah, sixth chapter:
The priest in the temple about his daily
ministrations, when suddenly the pres
ence of the Lord was manifest and
then the servant cried out in the pres
ence of Cherubiin and Seraphim and the
Holy One, *“Woe is me, for I am un
done, for I am a man of unclean lips
and dwe!ll in the midst of a people of
unelean lips.” We are not already
made perfect, but press on if we may
apprehend that for which we were ap
p:ehended and grow daily more and
more like Him who loved us and gave
Himself for us and washed us in His
own blood and will one day, when earth's
ties are severed, give us an abundant
entrance into glory and then we shall
be satizfied and sanctified wholly. Per
fect but not sound, through Christ's im
plied righteousness.
God’'s Holiness,
The holiness of God is inherent. He
is a God of justice as well as of love
and mercy. His every act is naturaliy
the result of law and this law is fixed,
unalterable. A low view of God's law
will enable almost any one to feel that
he ean Kkeep it. [ could take Stone
Mountain and sling it aeross a couple
of lots if it were small enough, or jf
I were large ecnough, but the law of
gravitation is such I can not do it
God's law is perfect.
Sin is contrary to Geod's law, but
when we view sin as a light matter,
when we think of it as man sees it and
not as Cod sees it, we make a grievous
mistake. Cod’'s holiness causes him to
see sin as it is and not as we see it
And when sin came into the world
it wrought its dreadful effect not only
upon the body of man and made it sus
ceptible to sickness and weakness, but
it also affected the will, and one can
no more in this life be spiritually per
fect than be can be physically perfect.
Well, says some one, was not Job per
fect? Well; was he? Is the man who
is covered with boils perfect? lls the
man who has to defend himself before
his friends perfect? ~Job's intentiors
were perfect. He wanted to do right,
He made mistakes, but through them
all he wanted to do what was pleas
ing to God. David was a man after
God's own heart, but was David per
fect?
Take all the Scripture characters—
Abraham, Peter, Paul, John, Mark, and
a host of others. They were not per
fect, but they have since attained anrd
laid hold of perfection in God's ap
pointed time and way.
Man looketh on the outward appear
ance and thinks one may be perfect.
God looks on the heart and knows all cur
frailties and weaknesses and imperfec
tions,
Perfection should be our standard,
We may live free possibly from any fla.
grant crime, a fault which is percepti
bLle to the eyes of the world, but the eye
of divinity is upon us. IHe knows the
inward parts. He knows the mind of
nman.
The Psalmist says, ‘I have seen an
end of all perfection; but Thy command
ment is exceeding broad.
No one can lay claim to entire fanc
tification in this life, but it is equally
as great a sin to swing from spiritual
pride to sensual indulgence and Keep
on swinging and letting the evil one
have dominion.
May the God of all grace abide richly
fn all of our hearts in the presence
of the Holy Spirit and lead us into
all truth and all =ervice until finally we
shall seée the King in His beauty, spot
less, holy and altoaether righteous, and
then in His presence we shall be satis
fied.
