Paul writes in his epistles of justification and sanctification ; Peter, of pardon and holiness. In the little work, " Christ Our Righteousness," page 118, Sister E. G. White is quoted as follows : "The righteousness by which we are justified is imputed. The righteousness by which we are sanctified is imparted. The first is our title to heaven, the second is our fitness for heaven." In this statement we find brought to view a righteous- ness unto justification, and a righteousness unto sancti- fication. That unto justification is imputed, and that unto sanctification is imparteil. To justify means to set right for the past. To impute means " to reckon or set down to the account of one that which does not belong to him." Therefore we conclude that imputed justification is the reckoning to our account for the past something that does not belong to us. To sanctify means to set aside for a holy use. To impart means " to partake of," " to share." � Thus, im- parted sanctification means a life set aside for a holy use, shared with another. Righteousness unto justification comes to man in a moment through accepting the imputed life of Jesus in His sinlessness, which life is reckoned against the ac- count of the sinner for the remission of sins that are past. Rom. 3 : 25. Righteousness unto sanctification comes to us through the whole period and process of our justified life by accepting the imparted or shared life of Jesus by the infilling, sustaining presence of Himself, to keep that which He has already justified. Justification is a crisis ; sanctification is a process. The writer of the beautiful hymn, " Rock of Ages," refers to this truth in these lines : " Be of sin the double cure, Save me from its guilt and power." Justification deals with the guilt of sin, and the need of forgiveness by imputing a life. � Sanctification deals with the need of power to keep cleansed the forgiven heart by imparting a life. Before we can understand sanctification we must comprehend and experience justification, the former being the outgrowth of the latter. � No one can be sanctified who has not been justified. To justify has to do with the past ; to sanctify has to do with the present and future. � If we are to experi- ence eternal life, if one day we are to be glorified, we must first experience justification ; for we read, " And whom He justified, them He also glorified." Rom. 8 : 30. Let us study by easy steps the work of justification. In Job 9 : 2 we find the question, " How should a man be just with God ? " � This is an old query, and through the centuries men have sought in many strange and devious ways to stand just before their Maker. The question is a vital one, and faces every son of man ; for in Romans 3 : 10 we read, " There is none righteous, no, not one." Furthermore, in 1 John 5 : 17 we find that " all unrighteousness is sin," and in Romans 6 : 23, " The wages of sin is death." These scriptures reveal the fact that unrighteousness must be changed to righteousness, else death for all will follow. This right- eousness which is of God is revealed in the gospel. Rom. 1 : 16, 17. The standard of righteousness is not raised by man, but is set by God. It is God's righteousness (Matt. 6 : 33), as compared with man's righteousness. Matt. 5 : 20. God's righteousness is as " linen, clean and white " (Rev. 19 : 8), while man's righteousness is as " filthy rags." Isa. 64 : 6. � The one is the very opposite of the other. In other words, man's righteousness in the sight of God is simply unrighteousness. By comparing the three following scriptures, 1 John 5 : 17, " All unrighteousness is sin " 1 John 3 : 4, " Sin is the transgression of the law " Romans 7 : 7, " I had not known sin, . . except the law had said, Thou shalt not covet," we find that the transgression of the ten commandments is unrighteousness. If transgression of the ten com- mandments is unrighteousness, it will be reasonable to believe that the keeping of the commandments will be righteousness. This we find confirmed by reading WilMIMME3 MINNIMMINEMM3Maill OUR MISSION FIELD 2 - AII§TR/711LABIAN � 13/4/31 Psalm 119: 172, " All Thy commandments are righteousness." " He that doeth right- eousness" (keeps God's commandments) " is righteous, even as He is righteous." I John 3 : 7. We thus face the fact that any keeping God's commandments in every feature at all times are righteous, " even as He is righteous." How many have kept His commandments? "There is none right- eous, no, not one." Rom. 3 : 1o. " For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." Verse 23. The standard is there, but all have fallen short through sin. 'What shall we do ? for we long to please God ; and moreover there will be a nation that shall do righteousness, for we read in Isaiah 26:2, "Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation which keepeth the truth may enter in." Shall we commence to keep the law' which is the standard of God's righteous- ness ? Such obedience will avail nothing; for all our keeping of such from the time of finding our condition and recognising God's demands, will fail to atone for our past breaking of the law. My ceasing to steal when I attend to the eighth corn- mandmeut, will not make up for any stealing prior to my obedience to the law. " All have sinned," and hence all need to be brought into harmony with a broken law. The law is likened to a mirror. James I : 22-25. A mirror does not re- move a spot or stain, it simply points it out. So does God's law. "By the law is the knowledge of sin." Rom. 3:20. There is no salvation from sin in the law. We turn over the Scriptures as we long- ingly look for escape from the condemna- tion that a broken law brings, and in Peter 2 : 22 we find these words, refer- ring to Christ : " Who did no sin, neither was guile found in His mouth." Here is One who kept His Father's command- ments (John 15 : 10), " I have kept My Father's commandments ; " and who doing righteousness (Ps. 119 : 172) was righteous, having even the righteousness of God. I John 3:7. Encouraged, we turn over further, and in Jeremiah 23 :6 we find in capital letters this title applying to Christ, " THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS ;" and immedi- ately the question is raised, Has the plan of salvation been so arranged that the obedient, law-keeping life of Christ can be applied to our disobedient, law-breaking life ? With added interest we continue to turn the pages of Scripture, and find in Isaiah 53 :5, 6 that " He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: . . . and the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all." He who did no sin, bore our sins; as sin brings death, He had to die, and this He did. We read in I Peter 2 24, " Who His own self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness." The righteousness coming to all who will accept the death of Jesus in their place, is God's righteousness. "For He [God] bath made Him [Christ] to be sin for us, who [Christ] knew no sin ; that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him." 2 Cor. 5 :21. Thus we see that "Christ was treated as we deserve, that we might be treated as He deserves. He was con- demned for our sins, in which He had no share, that we might be justified by His righteousness, in which we had no share. He suffered the death which was ours, that we might receive the life which was His."—" The Desire of Ages," p. 25. Having done no sin, yet having paid our penalty, dying in our place, and being raised again from the dead, Jesus now offers to us His life of sinlessness to cover all the past. He comes with a robe of righteousness (Isa. 61 : to), linen clean and white (Rev. 19:8), to put over the filthy rags of our life. (Isa. 64 : 6.) The price we pay for this spotless robe is nothing. It all comes as a free gift unto justifica- tion, or setting right for the remission of sins that are past (Rom. 5:15-18, Rom. 3 : 25) ' • and we accept it by faith. Christ offers His sinlessness; we accept, and thus His life is imputed unto us for righteous- ness unto justification. Receiving this imputed life for " the remission of sins that are oast," we are brought to the measure of His righteousness. " The only way in UNSIUMEMIMEERAWAM The Floods in Fiji WRITING from the Navuso School, on the Wainibuka River, Fiji, to her parents in Wahroonga, Sister L. V. Wilkinson began her letter on February 24, as follows : " Here we are safe at Navuso, and feel- ing that we know and belong to the place already. " Once more we have seen the besom of destruction' rage, and once more we have spent three days and three nights in our clothes, but once more we are thank- ful to say we have been preserved. "The night before we left Suva a warn- ing was issued that the barometer was falling and a hurricane was probable. However, the glass rose again, and though it was raining we set out for Navuso next day and had a pleasant trip, arriving here about 5.30 p.m. It was raining and muddy, but we didn't mind that, and were very agreeably impressed with the place. "It rained constantly and the glass kept jumping up and down. Every night we battened down in case the worst happened. On Sabbath afternoon it blew a gale and the glass raced down, so we put all our stuff high in the house (the river had risen nearly up to our house), fastened up our place, and went to Brother Steed's for the night. Of course the roofs had been leaking all the week, and both houses were pretty wet inside. How the wind blew that night! The house just rattled and shook. Sleep was impossible. The river had been rising all the week, but Sunday morning as soon as it was light we were shocked to see that most of the gardens were under water. Brother Steed and my husband immediately went in search of the cows which had been on the flat that was now covered with a swirling torrent. They did not think they could be alive, but what was their delight to find them all in a safe spot. "March 3.—Well, a lot has happened since I started this letter. Last Thursday morning Brethren Rudge, Lane, and Nel- son Burns arrived at Navuso in a hired which the sinner can attain to righteous- ness is through faith. By faith we can bring to God the merits of Christ, and the Lord places the obedience of His Son to the sinner's account. � Christ's righteous- ness is accepted in place of man's failure, and God receives, pardons, justifies, the repentant, believing, soul, treats him as though he were righteous, and loves him as He loves His Son."—" Christ Our Right- eousness," "Therefore being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ." Rom. 5 : I. Such is righteousness unto justification, which comes to us by faith, through ac- cepting the imputed life of Jesus, and is our title to heaven. Next week we shall study righteousness unto sanctification which comes through the imparted life, and is our fitness for heaven. W. G. TURNER. launch to see how we had fared in the flood. They were shocked to see the devastation of the place. They brought us two bags of rice, benzine, and oil to help out. "Sunday and Monday another hurricane threatened us. We did all we could, then lay down in our clothes and waited. Much to our delight the river began to go down, and we saw the sun, and the glass began to rise. We were thrilled. We came down home, got things straight again, and set about drying beds, etc. Everything is mildewed. It is raining again now, but not abnormally. "The men went up in the launch today and got the Branster family. They had a terrible time. The village of Naqia, seven miles higher up the river, was washed away and the whole population sheltered in the church. Some had to stand, as there was not room enough for them all to sleep at once. Nearly all the villages along the river are destroyed. We saw ever so many houses floating down in the current. And the gardens are all ruined. We are faced with the problem of feeding the school children on rice until the gardens grow again. How- ever, we are very thankful that our lives and houses are spared. March 10.—We have had several fine days and things are much pleasanter. School started on Monday, as things are running almost normally now. We shall enjoy our work here. A doctor is staying with Brother and Sister Steed tonight. Tomorrow he is going to innoculate us all for typhoid. There is a case farther up the river, and the unsanitary conditions caused by the flood will create the danger all along the river, so the Government is taking precautions. The river is almost back to the usual again. It is easy to see that it rose 100 feet. "My husband opened his violin today, and found it in pieces ! We are studying the language. I find my tongue won't twist right yet. We are happy and full of courage."

BUTLER Tasmanian Camp-Meeting and Conference 1931 Session WE look back on the ten days from Feb- ruary 19 to March I as among our most pleasant memories in our conference work. Camp was pitched at a central site in New Town, right in full view of the trams and traffic passing along the main road to Hobart. Many had been the queries as to the possibility of erecting a real camp- meeting. We feared the expense would prohibit. But an excellent attendance of delegates made the meeting an assured financial success from the beginning, judging by past meetings. The favourable location and attractive appearance of the camp drew unusually large audiences, es- pecially to all the evening meetings. As many as eighty-odd visitors were counted at one week-night meeting, and the mission pictures drew more than could be seated in the large pavilion on the Saturday nights. We were given every assistance by the City Council officers, and everything went along from the first with a feeling of joy and satisfaction that at last we were really doing something evangelical in our camp- meeting. Pastors W. A. Spicer, A. G. Stewart, and Dr. Sherwin represented the Union Conference, and their presence was heart- ily appreciated by all. With Pastors W. D. Smith and J. R. James on the ground ,with their families, we had five island missionaries with us. Brother Spicer's ,meetings will be long remembered, and ,though he had to leave on the Thursday ;preceding the close of the camp, his visit was a great blessing to all. Dr. Sherwin ;took hold of the young people's work and ,gave excellent help, while a goodly num- ber availed themselves of his medical counsel. We were glad Brother Stewart could remain for a little while to assist with the Ingathering, especially during such stress as the business world now is feeling. Brother Blair was a very welcome visitor, and his aid led to a fine record of book sales, £88 worth being disposed of at the meeting. Weather conditions favoured us, on the whole. Rain began the day after camp closed and retarded the clearing of the ground somewhat. But it was very cheer- ing to dwell with the Lord those ten days, and to know that He was leading in the plans for the meeting. Excellent responses were made to all ap- peals, and a large list of young people and others signified their wish to join bap- tismal classes. Very definite were the victories gained by some, and our hearts rejoice to see the change wrought by their decision to allow God to take control. May God keep them all near Him, grow- ing in grace daily. A £200 response to the mission appeal was good in the present financial depres- sion. Sabbath school attendances were the largest on record, 330 being present each week. Of these about 188 were liv- ing on the camp ground. Offerings for Sabbath school were £28. It transpires that the meeting was not so expensive as last year's gathering, even though we were compelled to purchase quite an amount of additional equipment when making the transfer from the old Glenorchy Show Grounds. Without exception I believe it is remarked as the best camp ever held in Tasmania, and we thank the divine Father for the unity and blessedness of this season of fellowship. The conference membership had moved up by 19 to 370, a total of 24 baptisms being recorded during 193o, with 6 deaths. Perhaps the best known of those who passed away during the year was Brother Andrew Craigie, so suddenly taken off following an operation at the Hobart Hospital. Tithe receipts of £2,127 were reported by the treasurer, which were a splendid total for 1930 and enabled us to carry over to 1931 sufficient balance to make this year easier than had been anticipated. The Sabbath school and Missionary Volunteer figures revealed growth in all lines except Sabbath school offerings, which had fallen to £496, being £90 less for the year. Our educational work was represented by three schools with an enrol- ment of forty-eight at the year end. Some recommendations affecting Con- stitution and policy were adopted. The plan suggested by the Union Conference in September last for the appointment of the nominating committee found favour, and the Constitution was altered to fit the new policy. Our Second Sabbath offerings for the first and third months of each quarter are to be divided equally between conference and local church funds. As soon as the new committee were ap- pointed, they were faced with the task of planning for the mission work in Hobart to follow the camp-meeting. Only one tent was owned by the conference, and this was greatly needed in Launceston; yet the Hobart interest called loudly for a tent. It was decided to purchase and equip a second tent, so that in both the south and the north work could be con- ducted to the best advantage. The present mission tent, seating 120, was pitched near by after the camp, and the interest that had been aroused is being maintained by the mission under the care of Pastors F. G. Rampton, J. R. James, and W. D. Smith. Fifty-six names are already on the list for visiting, and no time is being lost at all in following up the work. Brother R. A. Thrift is now awaiting his tent in order to follow up an interest in Launceston, the northern centre. Brother Bird returned to Smithton, where the work is developing.

In summing up this report we feel to heartily concur in the recommendation the plans committee incorporated in its first report : "That we hereby express our heartfelt gratitude to God for His abun- dant mercies during the past year, and in humble recognition of our dependence upon Him as we face the perplexities of another year, we gratefully reconsecrate our lives to Him for service for the fin- ishing of the work." God has been good to us and has abun- dantly blessed, and as we look over the camp just closed, we thank Him for direct leadings and abundant blessings bestowed. F. J. BUTLER, Secretary. What Some Are Doing for Their Sabbath School Offerings [Taken from a Letter] ENCOURAGING reports have reached us from a number of the Sabbath schools in our conference. Wallsend, Boolaroo, Lambton, Hamilton, Muswellbrook, and Scone members are selling magazines and meeting with good success. Singleton members are specialising in the sale of small books. The Sabbath school super- intendent had no work one day, so went out with some small books, and sold more than one pound's worth. He feels confi- dent there will be an increase in the offer- ings of this school this quarter. Our members around Newcastle also are selling literature in aid of the Thir- teenth Sabbath offering, but of course it is more difficult in the coal-mining areas. Think of the Tenterfield children drop- ping all the coins given them for ice creams, sweets, etc., into their self-denial boxes instead of gratifying their appetites; the fathers of families at Boolaroo receiving only three days' pay in a fortnight, yet growing vegetables and flowers and sell- ing them for missions ; the children of Lismore and Lambton denying themselves something every week to have an extra offering to bring, and a great many hav- ing no work at all, finding ways and means to help. Truly the Lord's people are making a covenant with Him by sacrifice. ANNIE E. DOUGLASS, Nth. N.S. W. Conf. S. S.

D. A. LEMKE � Fr: SECRETARY : S. C. BUTLER The West Australian Camp ON a grassy flat, on the banks of the little Helena River at Guildford, the brethren and sisters of the West Aus- tralian Conference met for their annual conference and encampment. On the opening day, March 5, beauti- fully refreshing showers of rain fell, the results of which were beneficial through- out the whole period of the camp-meeting. The camp was laid out in the form of a triangle, and its wide avenues studded here and there with trees, made a very pretty sight to the many passing along the main road to and from Perth. The naming of the avenues was rather unique, and made one feel that he was on familiar ground, for they were all named after some worker, such as Lemke's High- way, Potter's Parade, Spicer's Avenue, and so on. Pastor L. D. A. Lemke, who has not been long in the field, had a good grip of the conference affairs and pushed the busi- ness through with commendable dispatch, thus giving opportunity and time for more Bible study and personal woik. The re- ports of all the standing committees were readily accepted and passed harmoniously. Pastor W. A. Spicer's studies on the Ad- vent Movement and the gift of the Spirit of Prophecy were much appreciated by the brethren and sisters. Every early morning meeting was a period of spiritual refreshing. Although the brethren had pitched the largest pavil- ion ever used in connection with our work in West Australia, yet its seating capac- ity was taxed to the utmost each Sabbath of the meeting. These days were Sab- baths of deep spiritual heart-searching and attendant blessings. Truly they were great days in the experience of all those in attendance. The young people's meetings in their pavilion were all well attended. The two sessions of the Sabbath school were very happy meetings indeed, and all re- oiced to see the aim of £6o for missions passed by several pounds. On the last Sabbath afternoon of the camp the usual appeal was made for foreign mission funds. The response was remarkable in that it was no less than £660, which is £515 more than that given and pledged last year. The times may be bad, and depression ex- ist, but this Advent people are determined that these conditions shall not hinder the onward sweep of the movement. It was a good camp, " the best ever " being the general opinion of those attend- ing. It was distinctly noted because of the happiness and brotherly love of all present. Pastor W. A. Spicer represented the General Conference, Brother J. J. Potter and the writer the Union Conference, and Brother R. E. G. Blair the Signs Publish- ing Company. A. H. PIPER.

HOPKIN Sydney Open-Air Meetings HAVING seen no report recently, some may have thought that the city open air mission has ceased. Our report, as pre- pared for last camp-meeting, states that a total of sixty-two meetings were held during the past year, fifty-three in the city of Sydney and nine in Ashfield. There were 227 addresses given, and 503 personal talks. Five hundred tracts and 1,320 copies of the Signs were also given, and some financial assistance to the needy. Our average public attendance was 55, exclusive of our own workers. Since camp our hearts have rejoiced to receive from our conference a new and serviceable lamp, which is greatly appre- ciated by our workers, and will do much to render our services more attractive and helpful, so that our new and varied charts may be clearly seen and explained success- fully to our audiences. It is a pleasure to see a company of people ranging from 40 to WO on the footpath or street, some sit- ting on the curbstone, all listening to the spoken word and following the points on 6 0 6 6 9 9 6 0 3 6 0 0 6 0 6 0 0 6 0 6 0 6 6 9 * -.........---,,.....,........."--.../....v-..............4.,.1 � THE one who stands nearest to Christ will be he who on earth has drunk most deeply of the spirit of His self-sacrificing love,—love that " vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, • . seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil," —love that moves the disciple, as it moved our Lord, to give all, to live and labour and sacrifice, even unto death, for the saving of humanity.—" The Desire of Ages," P. 549. � AtiSTkAtiAS-176:1qi
