i TEXT—Now la Christ risen from the dr«<j

j alept.—1 Cor. 16.20.
The Bible Is a book of facts out
of which issue great spiritual truths.
These truths
have been formu-
lated Into doc-
trines. To "the
natural m a n,"
these doctrines
are like the dry
bones of Ezekiel's
vision — very
many nnd very
dry. To the re-
generated in a n
they are like the
other part of that
vision—when the
j dry bones had been gathered together,
breathed upon from heaven, vitalized
and made to stand upon their l'eet, an
exceeding greut army ready for Imttle.
If you are a Christian believer, be-
ware of ihut which minimizes tiie liu-
portance of Christiun doctrine.
fI he value of Christiun truth and
j doctrine lies in its ability to supply
spiritual power, to furnish moral in-
j oentive and to impart mental vision
or understanding. This very tiutli of
Christ risen from the dead, the first-
fruits of them that slept, is an ex-
i ample of this. When believed and re-
: ceived it operates in u saving way:
If thou shall confess with thy mouth
the Lord Jesus Christ, and slialt be-
| Mt‘ve In thine heart that God hath
ruised Him from the dead, thou shult
he saved."
Salvation Comprehensive.
Salvation is u big yvord, and com-
prehends the whole process of Gods

ture. it Includes the resurrection of

City "Dads'’ of South Dakota City

Sioux Falls, 8. D.—The city of Loro-
in on, 8. I)., Ims one of the most unique
curfew ordinances In existence any-
where in the United States. The par-
ent* nre held equally guilty with the
children for violations of the curfew.
The ordinance provides that boys
and girls under seventeen yenrs of
age must he off the streets and at
home after 0:30 o’clock ench evening.
If they are on the streets or other
public places after that hour they
yniuat be accompanied by their parents
or some authorized guardian.
The city "Dads" believe that par
lents ure largely to blauie for their
children running about the streets nt
unseemly hours of the night, nnd
therefore placed a provision In the
ordinance making the parents respon-
sible with the children for violations
of the provisions of the ordinance.
