Arlin Keydon in his morning ser mon. yestei-day in the first Baptist Church. "He helps people," he said part, "to save them from tha moral failure. Jesus befriende many such people in His earthl ministry.

The fallen woman wh annotated Jesus in the house Simon the Pharisee was saved to new life. "Simon Peter, unstable, failin at the place he boasted of being th strongest, was saved, established our Savior.

In the evening, he spoke on "Ou Savior Who Calls You," describini Jesus as the "Savior splendid" wh succeeds in everything he attempts Reasons Told For Salvation Though it is contrary to all tha human reason might expect, the IWord of God repeatedly and ex plicitly declares salvation to be an favor from God which i made available as a gift to all men laid the Rev.

R. S. Seal, in his morning sermon yesterday in Grace Baptist Church. "From the human side," he ad. ded, "salvation is not conditionec by any kind of good works; man's only responsibility is to believe in the Son of God by whose substitu- tionary death salvation was made possible.

Naturally, one asks 'Why does God save by grace? Why are good works not required as a condition of The Bible -resents a threefold answer. "First, men are said to be 10 that 'good works' may result. From a heart of unbelief if is impossible for any man's efforts to be pleasing to God. "Secondly, men are said to be for the sake of the benefits which accrue to them. Since it is not the will of God that men should perish to spend eternity in Hell, He has bestowed the priceless blessing of eternal life upon el believe.

"Thirdly, men are said to be to that in them God might manifest His grace. Though thii motive of God it in the salvation of men, it is usually passed over unrecognized. "God's greatest purpose in salvation Is nothing less than to demonstrate before all intelligent beings of the eternity to come the matchless grace which He manifested toward us in His supera- bounding love." Christian Way Is Discussed The Christian way is the only way to serve God, the Rev. W. H.

Hedges pointed out in a sermon last night In Capitol Christian Church. "Proclaimed by the early Christians, he said In part, "the Jews thought this was blasphemy, the Romans called it inexcusable intolerance. Some today think It bigotry, but Jesus taught that He was the way. "Peter declared there is no other name for salvation. Experience proves this faith of the early church is the only way of salvation.

Christ is the gate to the Christian way. The gate is so narrow that pride, self-righteousness, all sin, must be left outside and on the inside is eansin through the blood or Christ. principles of Christ are the principles of the Christian way. These are reverence for the will of God, reverence for personality, no respect for persons, for all are men as servants of Christ the purpose of 1 toe motive of service, not self-seeking, not self glorification, not greed, but love. 1 Spirit Christian way, helping to play serve, to grow in Christlikeness, an t' to testify concern- ng the grace of God.

That flood becomes a figurative torrent by the time the checks of defense workers at the fort are cashed by Bisbee open late just for that and the stream of dollars makes its way into every business the mining city boasts. On payday nights Bisbee is a cay, free-spending town, populated by hundreds of persons who want baths, shaves, haircuts and other sundry sen ices, or shoes, shirts and socks, or even dresses for their women- animals.

He requested authority to rule these settlers off. Experiences, Vicissitudes Were Many It would take more than a five- foot shelf of books to report all of the vicissitudes and experiences of the soldiers at this new frontier army post, but something of their misfortunes is reflected in a corn- Brewery Gulch in 1903 It was a legend even then. folk. It is free-spending from the farthest-up reaches of Tombstone canyon, where U. S.

Highway 80 crosses famous Bisbee hill at an altitude of more than 6,000 feet, down to the Lowell and Warren and other contiguous communities. And it especially is free-spending in Brewery Gulch, which has gone through more than one heyday. Juke boxes blare where once irofessors played pianos. Maybe he grade of whiskey is better, maybe it is are few alive who can give a comparison, and perhaps their judgment is varped. There are eager merchants, an accommodating populace, beautiful girls.

If Governor Osborn's effort to persuade Uncle Sam to establish a lermanent garrison of 30,000 men it Fort Huachuca is a success, Bis- and the Gulch are likely to get an entire new lease on the payday ype of life, of which all that has lappened this winter may be only tantalizing sample. Brewery Gulch has little written of what is told about it is legend, perpetuated by such colorful as Fred McKinney of the Brewery Gulch Gazette. But Fort Huachuca's story chronicled accurately, and dates to that March 3, 1877, when Capt Samuel Marmaduke Whitside, of the Sixth United States Cavalry, licked the spot where he would stablish a post for the protection if the settlers. Sent By Territorial Military Commander Captain Whitside had been sent rom Prescott by the military commander of Arizona Territory de- lartment He had been given much atitude as to where he might put he post, as long as it was in the Huachuca mountains. H.

L. (Pat) Hayhurst knows the tory perhaps as well as anyone. Let him tell it in his own language: "Those Damned Apaches" Were To Be Tamed Captain Whiteide's colonel intruded him to select "some con- enient location." 'Use your best judgment, but elect a location that permits of asy access of the valleys of tha onoita and Santa Cruz and yet permits control of the San Pedro val- ey, and is within striking distance the Puerto de Las Mulas (vicinity Bisbee) where those demand munication to headquarters in September 3, 1878, which says in part: "I have the honor to submit xxx The rainy season started early in July and it has rained almost daily since xxx All buildings in this post have been constructed of adobe and were considered good buildings until the rainy season set in." From further "the 1 records, it is learned that a previous military camp had been established at the vicinity which was known as Old Fort Wallen. This camp was said to have been established upon the claim of the Barbacomari Spanish land grant November 3,1879. the authorities at the post ordered for the library the New York Daily Graphic, the San Francisco Evening Bulletin, and full sets of Dickens, Thackeray and other books, including Bancroft's history of the United States.

Tombstone Made Self Heard By this time, rowdy Tombstone was beginning to make itself heard. The fort records continued to tell about Indian tribulations, stagecoach robberies, and frequent shooting matches in Tombstone, Charleston, and Bisbee. The record continued with memoranda on the pursuit of the! Apache to the final capitulation of Geronimo, and thus the frontier period approached an end. Leonard Wood Served There In the late 1880's there was an assistant surgeon at the post by the name of Leonard Wood, who was to climb high in the army ranks. With the hostiles pretty well pacified, the decade of the 1890's was comparatively quiet at Fort Huachuca; so much so, in fact, that soldiers were permitted to buy their discharge from the army.

Then came the World War and the part the soldiers of Fort Huachuca played therein.

Wright declared nis morning sermon yesterday in Neighborhood Congregational Church at "in the g9 el Christ we have the salvation that will save this world." "Paul, like us today," he said in part, "must have been ashamed of many things of his day and time. But there was one thing he was not ashamed of and that was the gospel of Jesus Christ. "St. Paul had found something that put meaning and significance into the whole of life: 'I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone that "We should not be ashamed of the gospel of Christ in its insistence on the tragic sinfulness of man and his desperate need of interior salvation. If we have eyes to see anything today we ought to see that for which the gospel of Christ has always been right about, man needing an interior change of heart.

REDEWlT.l.'S—1M W. PHOIMX 1941 Lesson' Sermon Topic Is "Soul" was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, yesterday. The Golden Text was from Psalms 70:4. all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: and let such as love thy nalvation say continually, Let God be magnified." Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon was the following, from the "For they that are after the flesh do mind the things of the flesh; but they that are after the Spirit the things of the Spirit. For to be carnally minded is death; but to be spiritually 1 minded is life and peace.

Because the carnal mind is enmity against God: for it is not subject to the law of God, neither indeed can be." (Romans The Lesson-Sermon also included the following passages from the Christian Science textbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy: "The various mortal beliefs formulated in human philosophy, physiology, hygiene, are mainly predicated of matter, and afford faint gleams of God, or Truth. The more material a belief, the more obstinately tenacious its error; the stronger are the manifestations of the corporeal senses, the weaker the indications of Soul. When once destroyed by divine Science, the false evidence before the corporeal senses disappears. Hence the opposition of sensuous man to the Science of Soul and the significance of the Scriptures, The carnal mind is enmity against God'." TelepKone 3-lHr America.

Dr. R. N. Merrill said in a sermon yesterday in the First Methodist Church. "When the unity of this nation hung in the balance," he said, "Washington arose to build a solidarity which has never been broken.

When that unity was threatened, Lincoln lifted his hands to release the slaves and to bind together the union more closely than ever before. "These men were great enough to rise above the planes upon which they entered life and to enlarge their circles of interest until they could take in all our people. "Washington forgot his aristocracy and Lincoln the prejudices which poverty might have imposed on him, to become the friends and leaders of all our people. Here is fine test of character and leader- ihip. Both these leaden now revered by all of us accepted their responsibilities with recognition of God's partnership.
