"Therefore, being justified by
faith, we have peace with God
through our Lord Jesus Christ."
(Rom. 5:1.)
The thief on the cross said to
Jesus, "Lord, remember me
when thou comest into thy king-
dom. And Jesus said unto him.
Verily 1 say unto thee, Today
shalt thou be with me in para-
dise" (Luke 23:42, 43.)
'•And it shall came to pass,
l' that whosoever shall call on the
name of the Lord shall be sav-
ed " (Acts 2:21.)
"To him give all the proph-
lets witness, that through his
name whosoever believeth in
'him shall receive remission of
j sins." (Acts 10:43.)
If a combination of acts, deeds,
! ceremonies and words are es-
sential to the salvation of one
I person, they must of necessity
tie essential to every person! If
' they are riot essential to salva-
tion for very person, they must
not be essential to
alvation for any person!
It doesn't take a series of
deeds and acts and a period of
days, weeks and months for one
to be saved. When one is born
into a home here, he has just as
much life as he will ever have
right then. When a person pla-

The New Testament speaks of
certain degrees or stages of
faith. In Matthew 0:30 and 14:31
we read of "LITTLE faith". Re-
ferring to the Centurian Christ
is quoted in Matthew 8:10 as
saying: "I have not found so
GREAT faith, no not in Israel."
In James 2:17 the Holy Spirit af-
firms: "Even so faith, if it hath
not works, is DEAD, being
alone." James 2:20 and 2:2(! tells
us: "Faith without works is
DEAD." Is it possible that dead
faith saves us? James answers
this question in chapter 2:14.
Read it.
If it is true—but the Bible
does not teach it— that one is
saved by faith alone, or the mo-
ment he believes, at what point
in this believing of his is he sav-
ed? Will "little" faith have him?
Will "dead" faith save him, How
strong, or how alive, must faith
be in order he may he saved?
The New Testament furnishes
us the answer to these ques-
tions. James tells us: "Was not
Abraham our father justified by-
works, when he OFFERED Is-
aac his son upon the altar. Seest
thou HOW faith WROUGHT
with works, and bv works was
faith made PERFECT? And the
scripture was FULFILLED
which saith, Abraham believed
God, and it was reckoned unto
him for righteousness: and he
was called the friend of God."
James 2:21, 22, 23. Faith
WROUGHT with works. Faith
was manifested in obedience to
the command of God. The faith
of Abraham then was a live, and
not a dead, faith, in Galatians
r>:<;, the Holy Spirit says: "Faith
worketh by love." The Christ
says: "Not every one that saith
unto me, Lord Lord, shall enter
into the kingdom of heaven:
but he that DOETH the will of
my Father which is in heaven."
Matthew 7:21. "Why call ve me,
Lord, Lord, and DO NOT the
things which I say?" Luke 6:4(1.
'Ye are mv FRIENDS, if ye
DO whatsoever I COMMAND
you." John 15:14.

What worries the Austrians—
and the Americans — even more
is Russian colonization of East-

have succeeded in reducing Rus-

thousands of acres of the best
valley land in eastern Austria.
Moscow is settling Russian fam-

Secretary of State Byrnes and
his advisors in Paris are not anx-
ious to prolong their stay in the
French capital any longer than
is absolutely necessary. And the
only reason for expecting the
conference to go on now seems |
to be a hope of reaching com-'
promise agreements on major
issues. After more than a week
of fruitless negotiations, no sign
of any such accord is seen. How-
ever. the ministers today are
