| some bright tomorrow might
bring my hoy from far across
| fl|e seas. Today the entirety of
being surges with emotioitt
of grief aid sorrow. They say
he is dead! My boy, my son, my
own darling child who grew to
manhood under my tender guid-
ance and every careful observation
tion.
No, I shall not say it. .that lit-
is dead. I shall only say that he
has gone farther on. ’Tis true, the
poor, tired body which housed
the soul is resting somewhere
on a battlefield, you see, he
gave his life for his country, yet,
I know his soul is basking in the
sunlight of God’s marvelous love.
Perhaps, even now, he is admir-
ing fragrant flowers blooming
on the hillsides of glory, even as
ini this earthly life he loved the
simple beauty of bright hued
flowers. Among my treasures
are many little pressed flowers
which he so thoughtfully and
lovingly pluckel from foreign
soil by his own dear
hands. Front nty window I cam
see a red bud tree planted by
him. Soon it’s buds shull burst
into bloom once again; little
birds nestle in it’s boughs amd
sing songs of entrancing lovvli-
nes8_ They, the flowers and
birds, shall ever remind me of
beautiful life, his humble,
sweet simplicity.
When in moments of reverie
I go back down memories’ lane-
back to the days of his youth, I
shall recall every childish
sweetness, every boyish whim.
And a* a youmg man. I shall
not forget his thoughtfulness
and his many tender ways of
expressing his love for me, his
mother. Then, when I rememebr
his hopes, his plains, and his
ambitions for the future. I shall
not become morbid and bitter.
I shall only say, “He has gone
farther on” out of reach of pain1
and sorrow and cruel disap-
pointments !
Bluford learned that happiness
was not to be found through the
possession of wealth and earthly
fame; rather, he knew that we
make place and contentment by
a life of love and unselfishness.
True, Satan offered the froth of
earthly pleasures and whispered
to undying hapipiness through
frivolity and sin, yet he learned
early the lesson of obedience and
humble submissivetness to an om-
nipotent God.
No, I will not think of death
as an enemy, but rather as an
angel who plucked from the war
tom battlefield my dear, tired
boy, my own darling son and
housed him in a palace o feternal
rest. HIS MOTHER,
Mrs. E. T. Trapp.

SINGING AT PRICE
GOSPEL of CHRIST, |
:: He lhat Believeth And Is Baptized Shall Be Saved
Jesus in the great commission to the
apostles said, “He that believeth and is
baptized shall be sav ed.” Let’s paraphrase
it thus, “He that believeth what and is
baptized how shall be saved from what?”
Indeed, these are Bible questions. If I did
not believe what God wants me to believe
and was not baptized in the way He
taught then the salvation He promised is
not mine.
The Lord had just commanded the apos-
tles to go into all the world and preach the
gospel to every creature. Then comes the
above great commission. Therefore, the
man who would be saved must, says Jesus,
believe the gospel. If this he does not be-
lieve he cannot be scr^pturally baptized
and cannot be saved. The eunuch from
Ethiopia (Acts 8) wanted to be baptized
but Philip said that he had to believe first
in Jesus Christ as the Son of God, Paul in
I ( or. 15 :J, 4 tells us that the gospel con-
sists of three great facts: the death, the
burial, and the lesurrection of Jesus ac-
cording to the scriptures If a man does
believe all ot this that man simply does
not believe the gospel. But, Jesus died for
our sins according to the scriptures. This
I must believe to believe the gospel His
blood was there shed as the atoning pow-
er. This I must also believe. If a blood
stained story is repulsive to me I am not
yet ready to believe the gospel. The vital
thing is not that Jesus as. a man died but
rather that He died according to the scrip-
tures. In fulfillment of all Jewish proph-
ecy He was sacrificed once and for all
upon the cross as the lamb slain from the
foundation of the world Every single fact
revealed in the Bible concerning the death
of Jesus Christ must be believed in believ-
ing the gospel. This is the first step to-
ward salvation. Notice that Paul in I Cor.
15 specifically mentions that the death
and resurrection of Christ were according
to the scripture*. Of course His burial waa
also according to the scriptures but this
fact people then did not deny nor do they
today. Did God actually speak to the spirit
of Jesus and call that body forth from the
tomb? Did He really live again? Did He
eat and drink forty days with His disci-
ples? You simply must Relieve all of this
about His resurrection to believe the
gospel. Remember the Lord said you must
believe (the gospel and be baptized to be
saved. Do you believe it today ?
In Bible days a penitent believer came
to water (Acts 8:36), he and the preacher
went down into it (Acts 8:38) there he
was baptized by a burial (Rom. 6:40) and
following it they both came up (straight-
way out of the water (Acts 8:39; Matt. 3:
16). Should this noc settle the question as
to how we ought to be baptized today?
Now then, he that believes the gospel
and is baptized in this Bible way shall be
saved from what ? Luke in recording the
great oemmission gives an answer to this
question. Luke 24:47—" repentance and
remission of sins should be preached in
His name among all nations beginning at
Jerusalem.” When I sincerely believe the
gospel with all of my heart and then am
baptized as the Bible directs God remits
or forgives every single sin of my life..
I can be lost in. trespasses and sins
without hope and without God but when
I have thus believed and obeyed the gos-
pel God saves me from all of these sins,
places me in His church (Acts 2:47)
where I enjoy the hope of life eternal.
