PICKLED IN A BOILING SPRING.
Tom Collette is a miner, teamster, coal
burner, or anything else that is necessary
when he finds that his pocket is growing
empty and his larder lean. Tom, with two
friends, Joe and Jake, was making a painful
journey from Pine Grove, in Emeralda county,
to Eastern Nevada. They camped one
afternoon by some hot springs near Walker
lake, and discovering a hole half full of cold
water near one of the hottest springs, turned
the hot water, as it flowed out of the spring, into
the hole until the hot and cold water blending,
made exactly the right temperature for a
bath. Then they plunged in aud enjoyed the
delicious water as only those can who have
trftcfllpH nver diistv alkali roads for several
- . * J
days. When they had eaten their supper
and lighted their pipes, the theme of conversation
for a long time, while they smoked, was
their bath and the wonderful refreshment it
had brought them. They spread their blankets
on a grassy spot behind some willows, a
few yards away from the springs, and fell
asleep.
Tom was up with the dawn. The memory
of the bath was fresh in his mind, and so he
bounded from his blankets, and, with a skip
and a jump, plunged into the clear water and
sank to his neck. Then came a howl of anguish,
and he sprang upon the bank with all
the agility of a wild cat. In the meantime,
his fair skin had changed to the color of a
pickled lobster. The hot water had been
running all night; all the cold water had
been neutralized hours before the dawn, and
now the water in the hole was almost of the
same temperature as the water in the boiling
spring from which it flowed. Tom was in a
terrible state: "I thought I was pickled."
Rut. hfl did not hesitate as to the course he
should pursue.
With infinite care he drew on his pants
and boots. Forcing back tears of anguish, he
managed to walk back to the camp. Though
it wrung his heart, he put on his old-time
frank sinile as he neared the rendezvous, for
Jake was just then sitting up in his blankets,
gaping and stretching. Seeing Tom approach,
Jake asked where he had been. Tom
replied that the recollection of the magnificent
bath of the previous evening was so vivid
in his memory that he could not think of
breaking camp without repeating it, and added
: "It's just lovely, Jake."
Jake did not want to hear more, but sprang
from his bed and rushed away toward the
spring. As swiftly as Tom could he followed,
and from behind the willows kept
covert watch. He saw Jake throw off his
clothes, spring into the water, heard a yell of
anguish, and then saw him with wonderful
haste emerge and spring upon the bank, and
vainly try, by swift applications of his hands
to different parts of his body, to arrest the
iutolerable pain, swearing and crying all the
while.
At last Jake managed to get into his clothes
aud started for camp. Meeting Tom, he began
with fierce invective to upbraid him for
his deception. But Tom cut him short in an
instant. "Hush up," said he, "would you
bawl like a calf and give us both away when
I want to cook that other soa-of-a-gun up in
camp ?"
Soothed by this, Jake grew quiet, and
i .1 i.j 1_ ?
own leisurely pruueeueu iw v;aiup. xjj tun
time Joe had commenced to rouse up, and seeing
the others approach, asked them where
they had been. Tom answered cheerfully
(he was holding his pantaloons away from
his body in the rear at the time) : "Do you
think we could break camp without one
more magnificent swim ? Not much."
At this Joe, getting up, cried : "Not much,
you bet 1" and dashed away toward the spring.
As he disappeared behiud the willows,
Tom sprung for his pistol, and said to Jake :
"Get your gun quick ; it will be mean business
when Joe comes back." In a few seconds
Joe did come. He was crying and
cursing furiously, and never stopped until he
caught up bis pistol.
"Drop it,"said Tom. "I have a dead bead
on you, and so has Jake. Besides, I took all
the caps off your gun."
The difficulty was finally adjusted ; but the
trio took their breakfast standing that morning,
and, to spare the mules, they did not
ride much during the succeeding three days.?

Negro Cuteness.?There was an old negro
in Richmond iu 1861, who had once kept
the hounds of John Randolph or some other
man, and while he illustrated all things by
dogs, he thought himself a good judge of men.
Some fellows once got him into a room in
Richmond, and a door ajar would have shown
pretty much the entire Southern Government
in the next room. He was asked to state his
opinion of it, and freely did so, making avoirdupois
his main test. Said he: "There is
Mars Bob Tooras; I've seen him afore, and
he is a heavy dog?a very heavy dog?had
his foot on my back once, low down. There
is Mars Wise?know him, too, ole Yirginny
gentleman?a big dog, an' good for a half
a dollar if you take off your hat to him.
There is Mars Jeff Davis, sort of a lean dog,
you know, an' some wolf in 'im, and got a top
of all the dogs now, they tell me. An' there's
Mars Benjamin, got his tail 'twixt his legs,
an' there is Mars Alec Stepheus, an' he?"
here he paused for a figure to represent ninety-two
pounds of man?"he ain't no dog at
all."
A roar of laughter, and the swung door
that showed him every person that he had
talked of, nearly frightened the old man out
of his wits. His apology saved him. "You is
all fine dogs, gentlemen, and the Blim hound
can outrun the bull-dog, and eveu poodles has
wymen to uuss 'um ; but I is only a old bone,
not even fit for a gentleman dog to pick?I
ax your parding." Then it rained half dollars?the
last silver that some of the statesmen
ever used.
BSrt?' Two Germans, fresh from Chicago, visited
New York, and one, well acquainted with
the city, invited his friend to Delraonico's,
where a dinner for two and a bottle of wine
were ordered. The place and fare were praised
until the bill of $11 was presented. This
they considered an extortion. They paid,
however, and while walking down Broadway
the excited German comraeuced to swear at
the supposed extortion. His friend then said :
"Do not schwear, Yawcob. It is wicked to
schwear. God has punished dot man Dolraonico."
"How ?" "I have mine pocket
full mit spoons."
8k&~ An old darkey, who was asked if in his
experience prayer was ever answered, replied :
"Well sah, some pra'rs is ansued, an' some
isn't?'pends on wa't you axes fo'. Just arter
de wah, w'en it was mighty hard scratchiu'
fo' de cullud brederin', I 'bsarved dat
w'euebber I pway de Lo'd to sen' one o'
Marse Peyton's fat turkeys fo' de ole man,
dere was no notice took of the partition ; but
w'en I pway dat he would sen' de ole man
fo' de turkey, de matter wus' tended to befo'
sun-up nex' morning', dead sartin."
flfcaT When a man leaves our side and goes
to the other side he is a traitor, and we always
feel that there is a subtile something
wrong about him. But when a man leaves
the other side and comes over to us, then he is
a mau of great moral courage, and we always
feel that he has sterling stuff in him.

At a Sunday-school a teacher asked a
little boy if he knew what the expression
"sowing tares" meant. "Courth I do," said
he, pulling a part of his trousers around in
front; "there's a tear my ma sewed?I teured
it when I was slidiug down hill."
"I told her I'd never smoke another
cigar," he said, softly, "and I won't. A pipe's
plenty good enough for nie"?and he gracefully
drew a match over the largest part of
his trousers.

; WHOLESALE STEALING.
[CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE.]
S. J. Lee (ex-Speaker) testifies that certificates
were issued in payment for carriages
and horses, and designates some such certificates
in his evidence.
S. J. Keith, a member from Darlington,
says in his evidence before the committee that
Senator B. F. Whittemore collected a number
of fraudulent certificates through the
treasurer of that county.
Your committee also have evidence that
$25,000 aud $30,000 worth of fraudulent certificates
were issued and delivered to Hardy
Solomon, which he collected and distributed
tn T-urinna Stotp nffirera and members, through
what wa9 known as the claims of the South
Carolina Bank and Trust Company," under
which head you will find the evideuce in refer
ence to this most infamous swindle.
By way of comparison, we refer to a tabu
lar statement marked Exhibit "J, 0, H," in
which it is shown that during one session
certificates were issued to 465 committee clerks,
and to more than 400 other officers and at
tach6s of the General Assembly, while at the
present time there are only fifty employed.
By act passed during special session of 1877
the number is reduced to less than thirty.
Through this nefarious practice legislative expenses
absorbed almost every dollar of the
tax moneys, and made serious inroads on the
proceeds of the sale of bonds, leaving every
department of the government without a dollar.
During one session alone, certificates were
issued to the amount of $1,168,255, and more
than $900,000 of this amount was receipted
for on the books of the treasury during fiscal
year. Allowing $175,000 as the legitimate
expense, and deducting $102,960, being $660
per diem, and mileage for 156 members, there
remain $72,040 for the payment of the regu
larly appointed officers and attaches actually
employed, aud incidental expenses necessarily
incurred. Deduct this from the amount
actually issued and the result is the euorraoas
sum of $993,255 robbed from the State iu one
term for the avowed perpose of
"UNITING AND HARMONIZING THE JFRIENDS."
The following are a few extracts from Mr.
Woodruff's diary bearing on the matter of
issuing pay certificates:
Wednesday, January 8,1873.?Cardozo informed
me that Owens had drawn that ?1,387 certificate.
The rascal did not tell me that. Gave Owens a
joint certificate to collect. I expected to get half
of that."
"Thursday, January 9, 1873.?Left a ?675 certificate
with McKinney, which Cardozo promised to
pay to-morrow. That will relieve me to this extent.
I will send Klinck, Wickenberg <fc Co.'s
draft for ?4S5, and Johnston ?151, making ?646.
The rest I will keep for loose change. Received
a letter from Klinck, Wickeuberg & Co. stating
they had shipped goods to Mr. Johnston."
"Wednesday, January 22, 1873.?Figured up
contingent expenses of Senate since commencement
of session. They amount thus far to about
?25,000. That is pretty stiff. Gave Jamison a
check for ?100, which makes him ?300. Received
a letter from Leslie relative to his safe. Cannot
do anything for him. Will probably have to let
Charles P. severely alone this time ; he is out ol
office, and therefore no good."
"Tuesday, January 31, 1873.?Owens wants me
to make up more pay certificates, but I don't
want to do it."
"Monday, February 10, 1873.?Madeout certifi
cate tor the President s ?200. Told John Owens
I would draw those he ordered as soon as possible."
"Thursday, February 13, 1873.?Cardozo says
Jones and myself will be responsible and legally
bound for any over issue of pay certificates. If
so our printing appropriation would be exhausted
before actually passed. Luckily we have no
bondsmen for the wolves to go to. The liquor
bills are very heavy, and I am puzzled what to do
about them."
"Tuesday, DecemberO, 1873.?Took or receipted
for ?2,400 from Cardozo to-day, in the nature of a
certificate from Frankfort for ?4,000."
"Friday, January 23,1874.?Got Cardozo to cash
Q MrtiliMto fnr &inn for ruwtniK' stamos for
senators."
UNOHATEFUL COLORED MEN.
"Saturday, January 24, 1874.?It is strange, but
my experience is that colored men are inclined
to be ungrateful to their best friends. But Bowley
is not much of a specimen of man ; rather more
of tho ourang-outang."
"Saturday, February 7, 1874.?The pressure on
Gleavesand self is immense. I hope he will re
sist like a man and refuse to issue certificates for
Smalls, Melntyre and the rest."
"Friday, February 13, 1874.?Will get thecer--'
tificates for Whittemore, and will ask the President
to let me draw them. Do not know what
Owens, as chairman of finance committee, will
want."
"Tuesday, March 3, 1.874.?Don't like Smalls'
idea of renewing an old certificate for $2,000 of
last year for one of this year. Melntyre wants
the same thing. Both members of committee to
examine into sinking fund and desire to sink a
little more in their pockets."
"Tuesday, March 10, 1874.?Received a threat
ening letter from Finnegan, who says his name
has been used in a certificate without authority;
that he knows all about it, and that Briggs got
them for him. I know nothing about it. The
certificates were put in among the rest. I remember
this Briggs making a reform speech, intended
simply for etl'ect, in his county of York.
The reform question appears to be taking hold
of the politicians in the Legislature, and each
will now try to outstrip the other. I suppose I
will have to pay Whittemore's expenses this session.
Will tell Jervey that President Gleaves
declines to sign so many certificates. Cardozo
wants a $1,400 certificate. That is pretty rough.
I think Cardozo can alford to let that alone; but
I suppose it will have to be drawn."
"Wednesday, March 11, 1874.?Was unable to
keep much memoranda this day in consequence
of pressure upon me for certificates. At times I
was puzzled to know what to do or think."
"Friday, March 13, 1874.?Do not know what
to do for'Whittemore. Will have to make out
certificates by the bushel, I suppose."
"Saturday* March 14, 1874.?The senators apf
ear determined to do something against Gleaves.
t's all wrong. Even Sperry, from the House,
wants something out of the contingent fund ol
the Senate. He will not get it. If such men
come back next year there will be a terrible tight
over the spoils."
HOLCOMRE AND DUNN.
"Sunday, March 15, 1874.?Must try to take
care of some senators. Want to do something for
Iloleombe and Dunn. Am sorry now that the
claim bill did not pass, but as Symmers, Berry,
Harvie and Allen and others have got their claim
through, I trust we will not see their long faces
around the General Assembly again. Signed a
number of pay certificates, and promised to do
all that I coulcl for each senator. All seem to be
surprised about financial matters. Senator White
should not complain, for he got the certificate for
Bristow Davidson. Corwin appears easy. He is
| not a hard man by any means. What are the
piospects for business? caruozo seems 10 oe
willing to pay with no money in the treasury;
entirely too willing. If there was any he would
be unable to do anything."
ALMOST SIGNED THE STATE AWAY.
"Tuesday, March 17, 1874.?Signed and gave
out certificates to a great number to-day. Almost
signed the State away. I did hope that G leaves
and Lee would be able to stand the pressure. It's
just awful."
"Wednesday, March 18, 1874.?Settled with
Dunn and Holcombe satisfactorily to-day. Clave
them a certificate of the Republican Printing Company,
for which they can get certificates of indebtedness.
Nash is mad at somebody. Can't
help him, and I suppose he will continue mad.
Clave a great many parties their certificates today.
I suppose tliey really amount to nothing."
"Tuesday, March 24, 1874.?Called on Cardo/.o
to-day, and gave him an order for 32,500 for the
Governor, also another order on the permanent
fund of the regular session printing. Trust these
will close his mouth for the balance of his term ;
he shall not have another red cent out of me."
"Wednesday, May 27, 1S74.?Senator Whittemore
called and talked for some time, but it
amounted to nothing. Met Senator Jones, and
informed him of my impecuniosity ; that I was
unable to help him, <fec. He was disappointed,
angry, and threatened to vote against me next
time for clerk of the Senate. Well, 1 have done
my best for all of them."
"Wednesday, June 3, 1874.?Propose to stand
by the friends. Think such Democrats as Senator
Holcombe my best friends. Trust Mr. Holcombe
will be returned to the Senate."
"Thursday, November 2f>, 1S74.?Gave Patterson
31,U4*> in pay certificates, for which he gave
me a receipt for one year's rent of his house.
| Promised to call ami see him at half-past!'o'clock

THE CASK AUAlJfST SMALLS.
'I "Friday, February 5, 1875.?The members of j
i , the committee on contingent accounts think < JaiI;
lard did not tote fair."
"Thursday, April 1, 1875..?Arrived in Columbia ;
this morning, htter told me a fuss had been made 1
about Small's' claim; that Nash was blowing about j
| it, and others. The claim has been made out for i
82.250, and sold to General Gardner for ?000. He
j agreed to take 81,-too in certificates for it. Gave j
' him a $1,000 certificate issued for contingent tic-'
count and a $400 certificate issued to myself. Cancelled
the certificate for $2,000, and issued one to
smalls for $250. Elliott claimed $5,000 for his services;
Jones kicked and agreed to $2,500. I
thought that a big sum, but Elliott got mad and
said the whole thing could go. Elliott said he
could get the Governor to sign the tax bill, and
that he would do it to-morrow."
A joint certificate for passed claim for 82,250,
of which only 8250 had been passed, was
issued to Robert Smalls and disposed of by
himself. Smalls was arrested, but Woodruff
took up the certificate from the purchaser,
and Smalls was released. Nevertheless,
Smalls was subsequently paid the 82,000, as
well as the 8250.
"Monday, May 10, 1875.?Cardozo agreed to accept
$1,000 passed claim printing certificates and
carry them until the South Carolina Railroad
paid its taxes. Gave Willie one of $500 and a
memorandum relative to what I had loaned Cardozo.
The latter made out it was a present, sol
had to promise to send $500 claim from Charleston."
"Thursday, May 20,1S75.?Returned from Florida.
Received a dispatch from Jones asking nte
to come to Columbia immediately. Heard that
Smalls hail beet) arrested and giVen bail for his
appearance at Court in October."
"Monday, June 7, 1875.?Saw Patterson, who
wanted me to cash his rent certificates. Declined
to do it out of the printing fund. Am satisfied
that Cardoso has beaten me out of $1,250, and that
Minton has made a mistake in his entries, if he
put that $1,000 passed claim certificate to the debit
of the printing fund."
"Friday, June 18, 1875.?Read a decision in
Tweed's case in New York Herald; must watch
these proceedings, as they may have some slight
bearing on South Carolina proceedings.
THOMPSON OF THE UNION-HF.KAI.-D.
"February 4, 1870.?Gave Jim Thompson a certificate
for Rig Bonanza, amounting to $3,755.
Gave it to get his assistance to help through the
claims I held and registered with the Bonanza
Commission."
The aunexed table will exhibit the expenditures
on account of "Legislative Expenses"

Not a word of comment is necessary beyond
the statement that, under the Radical
government, this amount of public expense,
exclusive of printing, averaged the enormous
sum of 8-585,365.29 annually ; whilst under
the administration of Governor Hampton the
figures, under greatly adverse circumstances,
reached only the sum of 877,119, inclusive of
printing. It should he observed that these
fraudulent expenditures were effected by resort
to all manner of devices, other than the
regular method of appropriations. In the
sessions from 1870-71 to 1873-74, inclusive,
the whole amount of appropriations for these
purposes is 81,085 less the printing; whilst
the actual expenditures reached 82,341,461.16-100.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

LUCERNE.
Alfalfa, as it is called iu Spanish, or English,
Lucerne, (Medicago sativa) has beeu
kuown from the time of Darius. It was transplanted
from Persia to Greece about 500 years
B.C. It was extensively cultivated iu Europe,
and especially in the South of France,
as a forage plant, but I am persuaded that its
value is not as fully understood and appreciated
as it should be in the South.
I have experimented, for the last eight
years, with Red Clover, Orchard Grass, Hungarian
Grass, (or German Millet) and Lucerne.
I place the latter at the head of all.
It gives a greater amount of green food or
hay, than any other plant we have, and wilh
the least trouble after the first year. lam
satisfied that Lucerne cannot be excelled for
soiling purposes, it has neipen me wonderfully,
more than any other grass, for carrying
out the plan of soiling, which I adopted several
years ago.
It is well relished by all kinds of stock,
both green and dry, and is exceedingly nutritious.
In some respects it is decidedly superior to
red clover, as in beiug perennial, and consequently
remaining long in the soil, one seed
will last for ten years or more, producing good
and profitable crops. When once fully established
it will yield heavy crops, and may be
cut, if on rich soil, once a month. 1 have cut
it as often as eight times in one season. Its
yield commences much earlier than clover and
continues later in the season. It stands the
winter better than clover. Drought does not
seem to affect it. In the dryest of weather,
when all other vegetation is drooping, Lucerne
will be fresh and green.
Its effect is to improve the soil rather than
exhaust it, since it sends its long fusiform roots
into the subsoil. Its roots have been known
to reach four feet down in the ground. It is
a well known fact that all leguminous, broad
leaf plants derive also a large portion of their
nutriment from the atmosphere, while the luxuriant
foliage serves to shade the soil and thus
iucrease fertility.
We would urge every one of our readers,
who has a horse, cow or pig, to prepare a
small piece of ground and seed down in Lucerne
at once. The seed can be had at any
of the drug stores in Charlotte. I have ordered
some lately for some parties from Wilson
& Black, Charlotte, at fifty cents a pouud.
Nine years ago I paid eighty cents per pound.
To succeed in growing Lucerne, a soil neither
too light nor too stiff should be selected,
very heavily manured, broken up very deep,
if possible subsoiled, aud rendered mellow by
successive plowiug and harrowing. Lucerne

or without grain. Twelve pounds of seed are*
required for one acre if drilled, and twenty
pounds if sown broadcast.
I have succeeded best in sowing in the spring,
from the middle to the last of March, in drills
at a distance of sixteen iuches apart, covering
ihe seeds lightly. The cultivation of Lucerne
is somewhat more difficult than that of any
other grass the first year.
The plants are very tender the first year,
and weeds are very injurious, and crowd out
the young plauts, which are slow in starting.
For this reason, sowiug in drills is to be recommended,
as the hoe or cultivator can then
be used. As soon as the young plants are a
few iuches high, they should be weeded carefully,
and the intervals kept clean. This
weeding and cleaning should be done several
times during the season.
Lucerne should be cut as soon as it blooms,
since, if left longer, the stalks become woody,
if cut much before, it is watery and in nutritious.
One or two cuttings may be obtained
the first season on rich soil, thoroughly mellowed,
and prepared by careful tillage, cultivated
clean until the plants are well set.?

JfeiT Nip, one of the two chimpanzees or man
moukeys recently brought to this country
from Africa, died in the New York aquarium,
Friday of quick consumption. This couple
were the first that have ever been brought to
this country alive. It was not believed when
they arrived that either one could live long.
Coming from the southern part of Africa,
where the thermometer varies hardly half a
dozen degrees during the eutire year, it was
thought that this variable climate would soon
kill them. On the second day after their arrival,
the male seemed uneasy and feverish,
and bad a slight cough. Drs. Gayler and
Dornor gave him medicine liberally. All
through his illness he was like a child. When
he died the female showed unmistakable signs
of grief. She has a cough.

THE WAT OF SALVATIOtf.-Acts 16. *
When Paul and Silas were at Philippi, the
; chief city of Macedonia, they were beset, and i
i iu some way thwarted, in their labors by a
! female 9lave who possessed a spirit of divina|
tion. This damsel was the joint property of
iseveral individuals. By her trickery, she 1
i brought her masters great gaiu. Mockingly, '

| missionaries as they performed their daily labors,
crying after them : "These men are the

indiguant after the thing had continued for
several days, and, in the name of Jesus
Christ, commanded the evil spirit to come out
of the damsel. The evil spirit obeyed.
The immediate result was the destruction
of this nefarious source of income to her
masters. No doubt the income was very
great, for there are in every land multitudes
of individuals so far the dupes of the devil,
as to waste their time and money in consulting
fortunetellers. Their revenue being cut
off, the masters became indignant and dragged
Paul and Silas before the magistrates. By
these officers they were beaten and sent to
jail. The jailor, beiug ordered to keep them
safely, thrust them into the inner prison and
made their feet fast in the stocks.
At midnight, Paul and Silas prayed and
sang praises to God so loud and so fervently,
as to attract the attention of their fellow prisoners.
God interposed in the behalf of these
self-sacrificing missionaries. The doors of
the prison were thrown open by an earthquake.
God heard the prisoners' moaning
no stir? freed them that were doomed to
die. The jailor, aware that the escape of the
prisoners would cost him his life, aud fearing
both death and disgrace, was about to commit
suicide, supposing that the prisoners had
already escaped. Paul cried, with a loud
voice, saying, (to the jailor) "do thyself no
harm ; for we are all here."
The mind of the jailor underwent a decided
change instantaneously. He called for a
light, and, trembling, entered the prison and
fell down before Paul aud Silas, and under
deep convictions, inquired, "What must I do
to be saved ?" Paul replied, with his characteristic
promptness, "Believe on the Lord
Jesas Christ, and thou shalt be saved."
In this reply of Paul to the jailor, three
questions are suggested as legitimate subjects
of inquiry, viz: Who is this Lord Jesus
Christ? What is believing on the Lord Je
sua Christ? Why believe on the Lord Jesus
Christ for salvation ?
In reply to the first inquiry, we remark
that there is no being in the uuiverse like the
Lord Jesus Christ. In the catalogue of
creation contained in the Book of Genesis,
his name is uot mentioned. He is a species
uuder no class of creatures. He is no creature,
and hence belongs to no species of creatures.
For our knowledge of that wonderful being
whom we call the Lord Jesus Christ, we are
wholly dependent upon the revelation contained
in the sacred Scriptures. From this
authoritative source, we learn that the Lord
Jesus Christ is possessed of two natures?the
one human and the other divine. These two
natures are, in some way that no mere human
can understand, united in one person, and
this person is what the Scriptures call the
Lord JesuB Christ. We are unable to understand,
only hy faith, how a person can be
possessed of a human nature and also of a
divine nature. If the decision of this question
were left to the unassisted intellect, the
conclusion would, most probably, be that
such a union could not exist. When we appeal
to the Scriptures we find no difficulty in
proving that that being which is offered to
sinners as a Saviour, is possessed of a human
nature and of a divine nature, and yet he is
but one person. With regard to this uuion,
we may well adopt the language of Paul and
say, "Great is the mystery of Godliness."
This mystery consists in the fact that God was
manifest in the flesh, justified in the spirit,
seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles,
believed on in the world, received up into
glory." 1 Tim. iii: 16. i
Just as it is, that by faith, we can understand
that the worlds were framed by the 1
word of God, so by faith, and not by sense,
can we understand that the Lord Jesus Christ
is possessed of two natures and only one person.
Those who have the time and inclination,
will find, ou examination, that the Lord
Jesus Christ is called, in the New Testament, j
the son of man, that is, man, or having man's 1
nature, betweeu sixty and seventy times.
| They will also find that he is ca.lled the son
: of God, that is, God, or having the nature of
i God, between fifty and sixty times. It is
! manifest that these proof texts can not, at
j present, be quoted. The reader must be conI
tent with a few from so many. In proof of
i fhp human nature of the Lord .Tesus Christ.
I the following passages may be cited: Matt. ,
| i: 1 ; Luke ii: 52; John i: 14 ; 1 Tira. ii: 5 ;
j Heb. ii: 14, 15, 16, 17, 18; 1 John iv : 3.
The following passages state positively that
he was the son of God: John i:49; John J
v: 17 ; John xvii : 8. It is worthy of particular
notice that the divine nature of the Lord
JC8us Christ is more frequently and more
| fully taught in the Scriptures, than his hu- j
I nianity. The reason of this is obvious. Men
i would be disposed to deny bis divinity, while
| they would not call the fact of his humanity
I in question. Had the Lord Jesus Christ not
, claimed to be the Son of God?the true
God?the Emanuel God with us?the Jews
would have found no objection to him ; but
when he declared that he was God, the high
priests rent their clothes and exclaimed that
he was a blasphemer and worthy of death.
, See Matt, xxvi :64. Briefly, the Lord Jesus
Christ, whom Paul recommended to the jail,
or of Philippi as a Saviour, is possessed of
j two natures and only one person. He is
j called Lord to denote the majesty of the person
; he is called Jesus, to indicate his official
character?the Saviour; he is called Christ,
! to declare his qualifications to discharge the
functions of a Saviour.
This is the Saviour on whom Paul commanded
the jailor to believe. What did the
i Ann8tlemean? or what are we to understand |
J ~~l
by believing 011 the Lord Jesus Christ? It
is easier to havean intellectual idea of what is
meant by the word faith, than it is to define it.
; In the word faith, there are a multitude of
ideas comprehended. Thus it denotes, primarily,
a belief in testimony. The reference
in this case is mainly to the truthfulness of
i the being in whom we have faith. Thus we !
may say, we have faith in a man whose truth-!
fulness is beyond a question. In the word
faith, as used in the Bible, there are contained
the ideas which are expressed by the words
accepting, trusting, resting upon and appropriating.
A good authority thus define-i j
i faith : "It is a saving grace whereby we re-1
ceive and rest upon Jesus Christ alone for
Balvation, as he is tiered to us in the gospel."
Why did Paul command the jailor of
Philippi to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ?
This a question of vital importance because
of its application. The reasons, on account
of which the Lord Jesus Christ was offered
as a Saviour to the jailor of Philippi, are the
same reasons on account of which he is offered
to all, at all times and under all circumstances.
The jailor of Philippi, like all
of Adam's race, was a Binner. The Lord Jesus
Christ was offered to him for salvation.
Still, it may be asked why was the jailor comV
J L I' .L- T ? J T /~1L
manaea to oeiieve on me .Liora .jesus v>orisi
for his salvation ? 1st. Because of what the
Lord Jesus Christ did to save sinners. In
the doing of the Lord Jesus Christ as the
Saviour of sinners, is included! his obeying
the law of God and also suffering its penalties.
Paul recommended the Lord Jesus
Christ to the jailor because the work which
he, as a Saviour, had undertaken to perform,
he had finished. All that the law of God required
at the hands of the sinner, the Lord
Jesus Christ had performed for the sinner.
He obeyed for the sinner, and he died for the
sinner. When it is said that the Lord Jesus
Christ obeyed and died for the sinner, more
is meant than that he obeyed and died for
the advantage of the sinners. It is true that
the Lord Jesus Christ obeyed and died for
the advantage of sinners, but that is rather
a result of his obedience and death. The
maiu idea is that he obeyed and died in the
place, in the room, or in the stead of sinners.
u: 1 a: 1
ilia uueuiehub turn ucawi wcic viemmuo, uut
for himself, but for sinners. This being the
ease, the sinner is justified by faith and not
by works. He redeemed sinners from the
ourse of the law; the Lord .Jesus Christ
himself being made a curse for them. Gal.
iii: 13.
Again, Paul commanded the jailor of
Philippi to believe in the Lord Jesus Christ
because of his intercessory work. The Lord
Jesus Christ having completed his work on
earth, ascended up on high, and as an advocate
took his seat on the right hand of the
majesty on high. There he is, God man, two
natures and one person pleading for and in
behalf of poor sinners. The friend of sinners,
he came into our world God manifest in
the flesh, and as the friend of sinners he is
their legal advocate in the court of heaveu.
These were good and valid reasons why
Paul should command the jailor of Philippi,
and every other sinner of Adam's apostate
race, to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ.
We should not forget that we must believe on
the Lord Jesus Christ, or we cannot be saved.
We may do any and everything we can do,
and we may believe on whatever else we
please; but if we do not believe ou the Lord
Jesus Christ, we shall he lost.
