Vital Christianity No. 2.
What is Christianity?
“Christ” moans the anointed.
Christ is the anointed of God, be¬
cause “He loved rightousness and
hated iniquity.” Hob. I; 0. Christ
was not anointed wit rand urn but
because of somthing. That som¬
thing was charactor-Principle.
Christ’s diciples were called chris
l ains first at Antioch. They must
have been called such from their
conduct or principle. It was never
said that Christian-Christ-One,
was not a befit ing name for a dc
ciplo of Christ. Then if Christ is
The anoninted, the christain js
O ne anointed. If Christ was
anointed for what he was if fol¬
lows that the deciplo is anointed
for what ho is. The name or the
anointing is only a sign of that
character for which the anointing
is done. The question that hasjnir
plexed the world is, What is that
character? Now as to Christ, we
are not purplexed. We know that
He is the Son of God, as such was
anointed a Saviour. But how one
born utterly depraved, void of any
God like character, can bo said to
be One anointed, is the question
hard to solve.
“Except a man lie born again
he cannot see the Kingdom of God ;
“Marvil not that 1 said unto you
ye must Ije born again.” Jon. 8 ;
8 , &c. Before any thing can right¬
fully bear the name Christian, it
must have the. character. Charac¬
ter, is-not name but being. Then
where the chanu-t erof which chris
c^mityja not,a tq;ue and befit’ng
gJ ‘ iM k> 4 v Aiaf it'*
but t c John in the U<
Ye KWo a name to live ..
dead.” This accounts for so mam
in our churehea who profess Chris¬
tianity hut never do any thing by
which one can know that they are
Christians. They are very much
like the boy’s father. A minister
asked a little boy if his father was
a member of the church, the reply
was “Yo,e e s sir, I think lit' is but
he don’t work at it much.” No, if
would be a hard matter for some
professing Christians to raise a
suspicion even, that they were
christains.
As to the charact er truly named
christain, you can find it spoken
of in John, 8 , 16, “God so loved.”
Love is that, character. Christ
being the express image of His
person, the brightness of His Glory
in whom the God-head dwelt bodi¬
ly, must have been tin' expression
of His, the Father’s love. To love
God and hate evil is to be in pos¬
session of the Rove of God. Christ
was the trim expression of that
atribute of God called love. Paul
looked upon Him nr such whan lie
said, He, Christ, “Loved me ane
gave Himself for mo.” Christ
takes the background in John 8 ;
110. Paul puts Christ in possession
of that Giving love, “He, Christ,
Loved me and Gave himself me.”
This is a different love from that
man posesses by nature, by nature
man is “Prone to evil, ‘The chil¬
dren of disobedienc, ‘Carnally
minded — Enmity against God,
‘Children of wrath.” It is possible
for this Love which caused Christ
to give Himself for us, to be pos¬
sessed by us. If we are not in pos¬
session of it wo are not Christians.
“If ye have not the Spirit of
Christ ye are none of His,” is a
fearful declaration by Paul.

The two Frh nd* Meet
After inquiring of each the
others welfare they proceed to dis
cuss matters about as follows:
“Hay, good friend Joe, I am glad
to see you again before* you depart
for your far away home, especially
since you have heard directly from
there, as I hear, in the last few days,
perhaps you can give me something
new about Tardy.”
Joe. “Indeed I was afraid I
would not get to see you but a good
providence has brought us together
again. I hope you are well.”
John. “Yes, very, thank heaven.
Rut as 1 am anxious to hear from
Tardy on account, of fresh news
well as to be informed in inference
to the signs of improvement m the
town, I am gett’ng on in years and
what I do will have to lie done soon.
I want to know the best place to go,
where I can have the advantage I
made mention of in our last talk.”
Joe. “What particular advantage
did you mention?”
John. “Social, church and school.
Jce. “I remember now, and I
promised to tell you of some of the
hopeful signs in Tarday. Well the
first one I mention ia Grab i« get¬
ting old and has played his tricks so
often that many have learned them
and consequently he dent grab as
much as lie used to, and more, his
couduct has throughly disgusted the
voting men of our town that they
shun him and his ways, so, his in¬
fluence is lying out.’
John. “So mote it he.”
Joe. “There is Mr. So"
Eagle, I did not iv r - ,»
ove”
A'
i ..pUiq soon, yt
le has hi ways bcou,
. aked out that he
very iuuu .eot, to a firm that wi'l
close him mu, it ia, said, without a
dollar of his own. The property
that I 10 now claims will be divided
among young vigorous persons who
have the welfare of then* country
at heart. Now old Squeeze Eagle
has been more in the way ot public
enterprise than all the others togeth¬
er. For when a school house or
church building or anything ot a
public iiature was mentioned be
would say, .“The old • one will do,
more than that, we just have not
got tho money, just look at the poor
widows I have to keep up and the
beggars who come to me almost
daily, you see I am shout thewealth
iest man around and I can’t help.”
Tho truth is, he lied about keeping
up the widows etc., it was only a
bluff which worked well for him,
for when the people found that old
Squeeze Eagle would not. help they
said we can’t do it ourselves so there
was nothing done.”
John. “Why, it. seems to me
that a man like that would be better
out of the way.”
Joe, Indeed, when he got a dol¬
lar it was like throwing it into the
sea, you saw it no more and in send
of his being a help m any way he
always hindered. But from what this
letter says, he is going to be called
into accounts before a just Judge
who cares for the good of all the
people.
Prejudice and Seenogood, are still
at their old trade. See-no-good has
brayed so much that his influnce is
gotie, and poor old Prejudice will
soon be left alone. The school system
that has been worked, though poor¬
ly, has educated a great many away
from old Prjudiee, you know iguor
anee faster prejudice, so, when Pre¬
judice has nothing more to live on,
he will die ou',“ .John. “So mote it
he. .
Joe, “Time is another vei v >
hwjeful sign, this letter says; there is
a strong talk of building a tine new
school house and runing the school
on the graded plan, we don’t bear
any opposition. I think the only
Udng lacking is some one to say, come

to the American occupation there
were only three liquor saloons in
Manila, but that now there are more
than 400 such places m that city
alone, and many othcis in the sub¬
urbs where the American soldiers
are stationed. To judge from the

If reports coining through the
British censor are to be accepted as
true the British have now begun
their first, decisive campaign. As in
all previous campaigns they were
defeated, those were not decisive;
for it is one peculiarity of the
British military character that
nothing ia decisive but Britsh
victory, whether it ever comes or
not. Wo must be prepared, there¬
fore, to regard Lord Roberts’s
movement along the Modder river
as decisive or not, according to
whether he wins the fighting or the
Boers win it. if the Boers win,
another decisive campaign will be
made by tho British.—The Public
