TENT THE TAMPA WEEKLY TRIBUNE. THURSDAY, JUNE 27, 1912. THE POWER OF GHRSSrSGOSPEL Brings Unworthy Back to FeUowshlp With Gel THROUGH JESUS' SACRIFICE. THIS MAY MEAN BIRTH OF REAL THIRD PARTY BALTIMORE, June 25. Francis J.

Heney, of California, one of Col. Roosevelt's fighting lieutenants in the Republican National Convention, and Charles R. Crane, of Chicago, who helped to finance the Roosevelt campaign for the Republican nomination, were in consultation here tonight with William J. Bryan, of Nebraska for three-quarters of an hour. Heney and Crane reached Mr.

Bryan's apartments by a private elevator and were gone again before their visit became generally known No one could be found who would discuss the incident tonighf. In connection with the visit it was learned that two representatives of the Outlook, one of them Karl Howlan, who has been close to Colonel Roosevelt since his return from Africa, two years afro, were in town. Both put up at one of the headquarters hotels. They were anxious regarding the possibility of a progressive-conservative fight in the with an Imperfection of accomplishment, but so. thorough a work that when it is finished we will be faultless and unreprovable.

not only in the sight of onr Redeemer, but also In the sight of our Heavenly Father. Ah, no wonder If we are astonished at the wonderful power and grace of God which this declaration reveals! Ye Are God's Workmanship. The same inspired pen explains elsewhere to us: "Ye are God's husbandry," ye are God's workmanship. (I Corinthians ill, 9.) Let us not lose sight of the thought that "it is God that worketh In us, both to will and to do of His good pleasure." (Phillp-pians ii. 13.) While the Lord Jesus Christ, as our Elder Brother and the Captain of our Salvation and the active Agent in our redemption throvigh His death, is associated with the Father in all of this work of our perfecting, nevertheless we are not to lose sight of the fact that all things are of the Father, as all things are bp the Son.

The two are in perfect accord, but the Scriptures assure us that the Plan Itself was the Father's and that He graciously Invited the Son to the participation which He enjoys.

to the Father's right hand of power and honor and glory, that "all men. should honor the Son even as they honor the Father." (John 23.) On the contrary, St Panl explains to us a Mystery, hidden from previous Ages and Dispensations, but now made known unto God's saintly, namely, that the Divine purpose is that a Church class shall be selected during this Gospel Age. to share with the Logon, Jesus. His exalted glory and honor, dominion and power and divine nature a Bride class. Thus we read: "It became Him the Father, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the Captain of their salvation perfect through suffering." Hebrews li.

I realized that this meant much to him and that if he was mistaken with reference to my position, I believe that it was duty and yours to forgive it and to stand with him in this convention. Where Bryan Is Needed "There is one place in this convention where he Is wanted, where he is capable of rendering great service: that is the chairmanship of the resolutions committee, and I hope and believe that every member of the resolutions committee will honor himself by casting his vote for Mr. Bryan for chairman. "My fellow citizens, there are no reactionaries. Whatever they may have been once, there are none now.

The Democrats are progressive. New it may possibly be through that here in this great convention, with all these able men coming from all sections of the country; it may be true that all of you will agree that a single highway constitutes the only road to progress; but you will all agree upon this one proposition, that the voice of the majority of this convention, speaking thrpugh its committee on resolutions, and by the adoption of the committee's report by the convention, shall speak the will of every Democrat in this land." Cheers For Underwood Wrhen Parker referred to the Democratic tariff bills, there arose a shout of "Underwood! Underwood!" In reply came a yell from the Clark supporters: "Champ Clark is the boy that did it." "Well," I'm not going into that," said Parker, with a smile, and went on with his speech. Judge Parker concluded at 9:13, and was given a round of applause. Before the applause had died away, the routine proceeding's were gotten under way. A resolution introduced by Joseph E.

Bell, of Indiana, provided that the rule of the last Democratic convention should govern thi3 year. This went through under the gavel. On the motion of George Green, of Tennessee, the usual committees were provided for. An effort wajs made to announce 10 o'clock tomorrow as the hour for the committees to meet. Board Bill Money Short "No," shouted a score of delegates.

"We have no Perkins to pay our board," volunteered a Texas delegate. After a short argument it was decided to have the committees meet immediately after adjournment tonight. An attempt. to adjourn the convention until 2 o'clock tomorrow afternoon was defeated, and at 9:34 tonight an adjournment was had until noon tomorrow. The delegates hurried away from the hall.

Mr. Bryan did not appear in the convention during the night session. CRAIG PHILLIPS. F. M.

O. AND G. PLANNED Peace River Made Record During Recent Freshet Picnic on Fourth at Brownsville ARCADIA, June 25 (Special). Professor L. L.

Guess and of Indianapolis, are among late arrivals in the city. They are on a vacation, seeing the country, and incidentally looking around for something in the way of a good investment. Mr. Guess is superintendent of schools at Paragon, and well up on educational matters. They have rooms at the Cottage Hotel.

Building at Brownvllle Saxon the enterprising merchants at Brownvllle, are preparing to enlarge their business in the near future. The contract is to be let right away for a large two-story building, the lower part of which they will use as a store, the post-office to be arranged for in one section of the building, and the upper part they will use as a hall, with perhaps some rooms for offices, etc. The elder Mr. Saxon is over for a few days from his place on the East Coast, and the plans are all made for the enlargement of the Brownvllle business. The new building Is to be 42x70 feet, and when it Is completed will be quite an addition to Brown-ville.

The plan is to close out the business being conducted at Deerfield and consolidate at Brownvllle. Fourth of July Picnic The citizens of Brownvllle expect to celebrate the Fourth of July by engaging in a sort of community picnic. The place selected is the new-mill house, where the company may find shelter from the rain if the showers come, and it is proposed to have a great day. The good women of the community will arrange well-filled baskets for the occasion, and the program calls for a big time. Mrs.

E. F. Childers returned home last night from Tallahassee, where she has been visiting her father and mother. Rev. and Mrs.

S. W. Law-ler Mr. Childers met her in Jacksonville. Work On the New Railroad The information just received here that active construction work is to begin on the new railroad from Tampa to Fort Iauderdale, via Arcadia.

Is very pleasant to our people. June 26 is the day announced for the beginning of active work on the construction of this line, which was surveyed some months ago. Work is to begin on the road at a point near the Tampa city line, and proceed towards Ruskin, and thence along the line to Arcadia and Fort Lauderdale, the eastern terminus of the trans-peninsula road. It Is claimed that this is one of the etraightest pieces ofroad in the country and will be very "easy to build. It is a complete air line for many miles of the distance.

It is contended that this will prove to be a very profitable piece of road when completed, opening up a rich section of country both east and west of Arcadia. The new road owns valuable depot site and facilities in this city. Broke All Records According to H. A. Ware, of Fort Ogden, one of the old residents of the county, the recent high water in Peace River went higher than ever known before In the history of the country and the river.

While In the city attending a special called meet ing of the Board of Education, of which he Is a member, Mr. Ware spoke of the high water and the record made by the floods. He lives a short distance from the river, and says he marked the water mark when the big storm two years ago caused the river to swell so unusually, and he measured it this time. According to his report, the water was just even four feet higher this year than it was at that time, and it is doubted if it has ever been as high In all the past as this year. So the year 1912 will go down in history as the year of high water in the winding old Peace River that flows to the sea.

Cleveland Ohio. Jane 23. Pastor Russell delivered two addresses here today, ane in the Hippodrome on Euclid a a One of bta address ea we report as fol lows. His text was: "And you who were one time alienated and enemies In jour mind by wicked works. yet now bath lie reconciled In the body of Bin flesh through death, to present yon holy and uublaraeable and unreprovable in Hia sight.

If ye continue in the faith." etc. Coloseians i. 21-23. Our text is a wonderfully condensed statement of the grace and power of the Lord operating in His Church His faithful footstep followers. The more we ponder our text and Its context the more we must admire the lengths, breadths, depths and heights of the Divine Power enlisted on our behalf, Admire also the faithfulness and ability of.

the Apostle as the Divine It is really too wonderful for the natural man to believe that the grace of God could ever present before the Divine presence and glory, perfected, holy, fiiultlpss. invprovable. such Imperfect, unworthy creatures as we by nature aire! Woll did the poet express onr sentiments in the words: "I'm a miracle of grace!" The Apostle ia not speaking- of a Power Divine working in the heart of a perfect man. fitting him for glory, honor and immortality on the Heavenly plane. He declares, on the contrary, that His words apply to those who were at one time alienated from God.

opposed to Him in their minds as a result of wicked works. Such even Di Tine power Is able to transform. The key to this transformation lies In the human will. If it be fully surrendered to the great Redeemer He undertakes to bring about the grand results declared in our text. Force indeed could be used, and the Scriptures assure us that force to some extent will be used during the period of Messiah's reign, but now, in selecting those who will be Jesus' companions in glory, none are dealt with except such as give to the Lord their hearts, their wills, desiring Him "to work in them to will and to do of His good pleasure." Reconciliation the Firat Step.

The great Apostle did not neglect to here reiterate the fact that before anything conld be done by way of reconciling sinners to God a sacrificial work was necessary. The great Creator's sentence of death upon the race could neither be ignored by Himself nor by any other. Mo reconciliation to God could possibly be accomplished which would bring the sinner back into full fellowship and the enjoyment of Divine favor and everlasting life except as the penalty for original sin should first be met. So the Apostle reminds as that the One who is able to present us holy and blameless and unre-provable is He who has already made reconciliation for us 'In- the body of His flesh through death." Let us pause here long enough to impress upon our minds this great Biblical fact, that It was the death of Jesus which aecures for Father Adam (and incidentally for all of his race condemned in him) a release from the death sentence which came upon him as a violator of the Divine Law. And let us not forget that there is an infinite difference between a death sentence which God did Inflict and an eternal torment sentence which the creeds of the Dark Ages misled us into be lieving was the Divine penalty pronounced against the sinner.

It was becaus the sentence, "Dying, thou shalt die." was pronounced against Father Adam that the death of Jesus was a Ransom-price sufficient to secure the sinner's release and the release from death by a resurrection of all of Adam's posterity who shared the results of his sentence. Thus we see the force of the Scriptural declaration that "as by a man came death, by a Man also came the resurrection from the dead; for as all iu Adam die. even so all in Christ shall be made alive every man in his own order." I Corinthians xv. 21-23. Cut the Father's grace operating in Christ Jesus designs more than merely the abolishment of the death sentence.

To merely redeem us and merely bring us bnok into the condition in which death overtook us is not the Divine Program. It Is further reaching: ll aims at onr complete uplift out of sin. as well its out of death, its penalty-out of weakness and out of Imperfection of every kind. It aims to make us holy, righteous: and the Apostle leaves do room for any misunderstanding respecting the degree of righteous-'ness. The result i not to be merely a ghteous will, or a righteous purpose.

1 .1 DELEGATES EVINCE DESIRE FOR EARLY FINISH OF SESSION HURRY TACTICS RESORTED TO WHEN CONVENTION MEETS FOR PARKER TO FINISH HIS SPEECH TRIES TO SOFT SOAP HIS OPPONENT SAYS BRYAN IS NEEDED BADLY IN PARTY AFFAIRS Reference to Tariff Bills Calls Forth Cheers For Underwood No Perkins to Pay Board Bill June 25. A rapid fire, routine session tonight closed the first day of the Democratic convention, which began with the defeat of William Jennings Bryan for temporary chairman this afternoon. Scenes of disorder on the floor, which made further proceedings impossible, forced tonight's session and compelled Alton B. Parker to suspend his keynote speech until the evening session. Tonight the delegates on the floor gave earnest evidence of their desire to do even-thing in a hurry and get away from Baltimore.

The leaders had planned to adjourn the session tonight until 2 o'clock tomorrow and to have the committees which were appointed tonight meet at 10 o'clock In the morning. But the delegates would not hear of this plan and disorderly protests from the floor forced an adjournment until noon and advanced the committee meetings so that they were ordered to meet immediately after the session. The delegates were very excited about hurrying things along. A voice from the floor during the session announced, "We have no Perkins to pay our bills." Parker Completes Speech' The completion of Judge Parker's speech and the naming of the convention committees was the sum of work of tonight's session. William J.

Bryan did not appear at the convention during the evening. His failure to be on hand caused an almost immediate adjournment of the resolutions committee which met after the session in response to the delegates' demand for speed. It was practically certain that Bryan would be elected chairman of the committee. The other committees got together immediately for organization. But a scattering attendance appeared in the galleries at 8 o'clock, the hour set for convening the convention.

There were hundreds of vacant seats in the delegate sections. The delegates who were in their seats gathered in little groups and a hum of conversation swept the hall. The band was anxious to please and drifted from "Moonlight Bay" to Von Suppe's overture from "William Tell." Scattered hand-clapps greeted Chair man Parker as he made his way up the middle aisle through the groups of delegates. The soft rain that fell at intervals all day set in again toward nightfall, adding to the humid heat, and the atmosphere of the 1 hall was oppressive. As a result, delegates and spectators stripped off their coats and rolled up their shirtsleeves, ready for the night's work.

Delegates Tardy In Arriving The delegates began to crowd In about 8:20 and in a few moments the aisles were in confusion. The ser-geant-at-arms tried in vain to get the delegates seated. Finally four policemen were placed in each aisle to keep the crowd moving. At 8:25 Chairman Mack droppd his gavel, and the night session was on. The Rev.

W. M. Dame, of the Memorial Church, Protestant Episcopal, then delivered the prayer. In conclusion the Rev. Dame led in the Lord's Prayer.

"The congregation will join in the Lord's Prayer," he said. A murmur that grew louder and more certain as the famous words went on, swept the big hall, and the whisperc "Amen" was full-throated and loud. Mr. Mack Introduced again Judge Parker and the tenfporary chairman resumed the speech which this after noon was interrupted. In his intro ductory remarks tonight.

Judge Parker commented on the Republican convention at Chicago, where, he said, the words, "liar," "thief." "robber," "corruptionist," "briber," were freely used. "We will have nothing like that In this convention," he said. "Wa lxa-d a. littla difficulty here to PARKER When we think of the Divine creative Power our minds go out to the wheeling orbs which encircle our earth, to the millions of nuns and hundreds of millions of planets which fill the space about us and which we call the Universe: "Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge; there is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard" declaring the omnipotence and omniscience of our great God. their Creator.

We say that these are works worthy of a Creator, and we are surprised that the Great Eternal should in any sense of the word Interest Himself and His great Power in a transforming work In connection with our hearts and lives. Nevertheless, the more we consider It the more we are convinced that tiic creation of angels was a greater display of Divine Power than the creation of the worlds. Likewise the creation of man In the image of God wni a far greater creation than that of the material Universe, because man was created, in the image and. likeness of His Creator Adam was a miniature copy of God in the flesh. The Divine intention respecting Adam and his race in general, the Bible assures us, Is Iiestitution restoration eventually to all that was enloyed by our first parents iu Eden and lost through disobedience sin.

The Heavenly Father has arransed that the sorrows and tears incidental to the reign of sin and death are not to be in vain. He purposed man's redemption and restoration from before the fonnda-tlon of the world foreknowing as He did the course of Adam as a free agent, his disobedience and fall under the death penalty. Thus the Scriptures assure us that in the Divine purpose Jesus was "the Lamb slain from before the foundation of the world." And they assure us that the Lamb who was slain is ultimately to be given the dominion over the whole earth, and for a thousand years shall exercise a reign of righteousness. Justice, love and power with a view to the reclamation and restitution of all the willing and obedient of the human family and the destruction of all those who love sin and bate righteousness and who therefore are styled "corrupters of the earth." Revelation xl, 18. Wa Are God'a New Creation.

As we have just seen, the great and important work of human restitution the Father has delivered over entire to the Son, the world's Redeemer; as we read: "He must reign until He shall have put down all enemies" even death, the last enemy. Then He will deliver up the Kingdom to God, even the Father, says St. Paul. (I Corinthians xv, 24-2R) But our text is not discussing that work of Restitution which belongs to the coming Age of Messiah's glorious reign of righteousness. On the contrary, it deals with the specially favored and specially blessed ones who during this Age are being called, proved, tested, polished, prepared for joint-heirship with Jesus in His Kingdom.

These are special objects of Divine care, whose blessing consists not iu restitution to earthly perfection and an earthly Eden home or Paradise. These are called of God with a "high calling," a "heavenly calling" to be "heirs of God and joint-heirs Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans vili, 17.) These. St Peter tells us, have been granted exceeding great and precious promises, that by these promises as the Divine power or energy working theml they might become partaken of the divine nature. II Peter 4. Ab.

now we perceive the special sense in which Divine Power is being exercised toward the called and elect Church from that which will be exer cised toward the world In genera! God is crenting a new order of beiugs 1 in the Universe an order or cluss on the divine plane, which is far above, that of angels, principalities and pow ers or any other plane in the whole Universe. This is the sense, then, in which we are God's workmanship and newly created of Him in Christ Jesus unto good works. Only from this standpoint can the beauty and harmony of the Bible be discerned. The Father's providences guided that Jesus should first pass through the trials and difficulties and self-sacrifices necessary a demonstration of Ills loyalty, which would prove Him worthy of the divine nature. And so the Apostle tella us that Ue who was rich, for our sakes became poor; that the Logos humbled Himself and took a bondman's form in harmony with the Divine Program.

"And being found in fashion a Man. ne humbled Himself" still further, ven to death, "even the death of ths of the present life in great abundance are thereby disadvantaged respecting this great High Calling, while the poor of this world have their compensation for the things of the present time hav lng less attraction for them, their ears and hearts and "the eyes of their un derstanding" are more ready to discern the glorious things of the Divine reve lation, which the natural eye hath not seeu nor the ear heard things which God hath in reservation for those that love Him supremely for those whose love for God manifests itself in a full consecration of mind and body to know and to do the Divine will. Our text tells us of the possibilities of our "calling" of what God through Christ is able and willing to do for us-even bringing us to a perfection of holiness and faultlessness in the Divine presence at the end of our race course. But there are conditions, our text de clares, namely: "If ye continue in the faith, grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the Hope of the Gospel, which ye have heard and which was preached to every creature which was uuder heaven." Verse 23. Since there are conditions, we must give them earnest heed; for how could we be careless or indifferent in respect to so high a calling, so heavenly a Prize as this set before us? negiect.

indifference In respect to the terms or conditions, would be manifesting a lack of appreciation of the gift, the privilege, the opportunity; and this iu turn would mean that thereby we mark ourselves in the Lord's estimation as unworthy of the proffered honors and glories. "The Hopa of tha Gospel." It should not surprise us that the 'Apostle lays great stress upon the "JJope of the Gospel." God is not working In us with tools of iron and steel or gold or silver to transform or to polish us. His fashioning and transforming tool is the Hope of the Gospel. It is this Hope which the Apostle declares we should "have as an anchor to our soul, both sure and steadfast, entering into that which is within the veil, whither our Forerunner is for us entered." (Hebrews vi. 19, 20.) Thus we will be settled and grounded and safe in all the storms of life, great and small.

Our anchorage of faith will give us the assurance of the Divine promise, that "all things shall work together for good to those who are the called according to His purpose." to those who are the "Happy objects of His grace. Destined to behold His face." But the Divine arrangement is that in order to continue in the faith we must feed continually upon the promises of God, and must allow them to have a sanctifying power in our minds, in our hearts and over our words and conduct, making us more and more copies of God's dear Son. As our text Intimates and other Scriptures tell us, the Adversary will seek to move us away from the glorious promises of the Gospel, putting fear as an incentive instead of love, or attracting us by worldly pleasures or pride or "the love of money," which is "a root of all evil." Our worthiness to be of the New Creation will be demonstrated by the faithfulness, the persistency with which we will hold on and strive against the oppositions of the world, the flesh and the Adversary, and more and more seek and enjoy the fellowship of the Father and of the Son. If we know these things, happy will we be if we allow them to exercise us both to will and to do the Father's good pleasure, to the extent of our ability as new creatures in Christ. 11 we do so.

He who began the good work will complete it in the Day of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Morning ot the New Dispensation, in th.e First Resurrection. This means a gradual growing in grace and In knowledge and in the fruits and graces of the Holy Spirit to the extent of our ability. The merit of our Redeemer compensating for all our unintentional shortcomings. He will eventually present i us holy, faultless, unreprovable in the Kingdom. Want Bryan to Take It LINCOLN, June 25.

Nebraska supporters of William Jennings Bryan today sent him a telegram to Baltimore In which -they urged him not to refuse the presidential nomination In event that It is tendered him. The telegram said, in part: "It is important that the Baltimore convention name a candidate upon whom all progressives can agree. Knowing the Implicit confidence and the esteem in which you are held by the great body ol the people in the country, we, the undersigned citizens of Nebraska, take this means of urging you that you do not discourage 'or refuse to accept the nomination at the hands of the Democrats at the convention." Rub-My-Tism will cure you. OCALA MOURNS DEATH OF Charles E. Foy, Well Known In Brick City Funeral of Mrs.
