Tho evidence and law of retbution for sin has caused many head dis cussions Tot there Is perhaps no subject In the wholo field of Chris tian thought concerning which there In more ragged linking, Jt'er ignor ance, and Irreverent Jest'ng. How people can Joke about a soul writhing in torment forever and ever is pass ing strange When I tl.iUK. of the const. quonces of violated spiritual law ami of despised, Insulted dciitv, nil the Wushter die out of my heart as the clay dies out of the sky when the ni&hi conies on and a veil of inky mitt 1 ood winks the stars. "In tyi" unj trembling," then, let us soriouslv, v.'th open face, unprejudiced mind, and unrehellious heart, consider that most awful theme the mind can think the law of retribution for sin. (The conflicting opinions concerning ' this inevitable law have exaggerated It In both directions. Some emphasize Clod's love and leniency until his Jus tice disappears, while others picture Him as a heart!e s monster. Either extreme is unwarranted of Scripture and Irreconcilable to the attributes of God and tho majesty of moral law.) "Behold then, the goodness and the severity of God." In tho enrly history of the Chris tian church the severity of tho law was exaggerated becau-o tho first converts were made from paganism and on becoming Christian, they did rot leave all their paganism behind them. Brought up in the atmosphere of. the pagan world, tney read imo the words of Jesus the concepts with which they had become familiar. The supreme poet of the madiaeval church Is Dante, and his great theme was "hell." Three hundred years later John Milton wrote about the same subject. His imagery was borrowe I from Dante and Virgil, and his bibli en! expressions are dyed in the vat of pugan thought. Dante and Milton have done more to create the popu lar conception of hell than all the preachers of the last three hundred johrs. Jonathan Edward i el the ISth ccntur, and Spurgeo.i of the 19th Irought to ih's same pagan interpre tation thojr gifts ofs phenomenal elo quence. But we shou'.d set away fro.n this pagan viewpoint and look direct lv into the New Testament itself.

Yes, ladies and gentlemen, and at. the pres ent rate things are selling, our entire department will bo sold and gone long before Christinas so you'd better hurry. EVERYTHING YOU WISH TO GIVE IS TO BE FOUND HEBE AND AT A SAVING OF BIG MONEY TO YOU. As Santa Claus Headquarters We Lead Others Follow is always foremost. Christ's model sermon begins with "Blessed." When Jesus began His ministry. He quoleJ a passage from Isaiah and it is of .-tartling significance that He stopped in the middle of a sentence.. Isaiak says: "To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of ven geance of our God." Jesus omits the last phrase. It Is evidently not His mission to proclaim "the day of ven geance of our God." "The Son of Man is not come to condemn the world, but to save the world." His great parables of judgment were all spoken within a week of the end of His life. It was only after the na tion had rejected Him that, as a last resort. He told them plainly of their doom. This, then is the Christian method of teaching. Now what is the substance of the New Testament doc trine of retribution. (1) Sin is punished. The bible speaks s-o plainly on this point that the wayfaring man, though a fool, need not err therein. There are two gates, one narrow and one wide. There are two goals, one is life and the other is destruction. There aro two directions, one leads to punish ment and the other to life eternal. The natural world enforces strictly the dire con -equoneos of Violated law everywhere. I (-) Sin is punished naturally, not i aro: irar ly. natsoever a man kuvs that shall he also reap." If a branch i bears no fruit, it is clipped and cast into the fire. At the time of harvest. Jlu-tares are separated from tho ! wheat and burned. This same sen ' sible and natural method obtains in the punishment for sin, according to I New Testament teaching, j (3) S:n is punished' equitably. Christianity has no common pit into which all sinners are swept indis criminately. The. punishment is so just that its perfection is beautiful. All sins aro not equally heinous. "It wil! be more tolerable in tho day of judgment" for some -than for others, said Jesus Ono man guilty of a cer tain sin will be "In danger of the judgment;" a man guilty of a more serious one will be "in danger of the council;" while a man guilty of a still greater sin will be in danger of Ge henna fire." Gehenna that is, the deep ravine out sido of tho city where the corpses of criminals were thrown. The Now Testament never wearies in sisting that every man will bo reward ed according to his deeds. Opportu nities, talents, Inherited inclinations, environments aro all taken into con s'tlcration. (4) Sin is punished terribly. The most frightful thing in the universe is Sin. We should keep clear of it at all costs. Bodily suffering is as nothing compared with the suffering that sin afflicts. The loss of .my part of the body is insignificant com pared to the loss inflicted by sin. If your right eye causes you to bin pluck it out. The consequences of sin says the Master, are "weeping" and "gnashing of teeth" "Th?y shall be cast into outer darkness." (5) Sin will be pun'shed bevond mortal existence. No scholar, theo logian or philosopher, claims that death has some alchemv which changes the temper of the soul. Mem ory goes with us and that means re gret, and regret is a tormenting f.nme. Ho that is righteous here will be righteous there. He that is filthy here will be flthy there. Death works no change of soul. (Gt Sin will be punished more in tensely the other side of death than here. Sins like seeds bring forth some Mxry and some a hundred fold. Dives wn .ii.j man. and he got a part of his punish ment in this world. He had a hard heart and to have a heart that cannot I fool, is retribution itself But his ret- ' ribution ns greater on the other side! of death. ; Those six propositions aro plainlv1 taught by the New Testament and are i he'd by every church in Christendom I including the Universallsto s-.io,,. i borgians and Catholics. They are the six certainties of Christian doctrine ; concerning the consequences of sin. I Beyond the-e certainties many' speculating questions have been ask-' ed which the New Testament does not i clearly and unmistakablv answer I "Are there few that be saved?" Never1 mind. "Strive to enter." was Jesus'! an-wer. How long will the penalty endure Some believe all will be1 eventually saved. And there are some' passages of Scripture which nppur-' ently support this view. "I will draw' all men unto me." "As in Adam all! all die, so in Christ shall all be made alive." But In these pa-sages In which the word "all" occurs, the Idea of the duration of pejialty is not un der discussion. And as for tho ar gument of the goodness of God mak ing it impossible that a soul could be punished forever, who knows the power of resistance inherent In the human will? If we can defy God here, may we not defy Him forever? If we are punished forever, then, it will be because we sin forever. How j the t'niversalists can say for certain that every soul positive'y will some time give in and be received and for given by the Father mxin find Its warrant and Its explanation outside of the New Testament. Yet with Dean Farrar we may say that there is always a possibility and a hope that every sinner will return to the Father's love, though there is no guar antee of it. Others believje that once lost, there is no hope or even possi bility of salvation after death. This 's. in fact, the most common belief of our so-called orthodox churches. But to my reading of the Bible, this too, li mere speculation. To be sure, the punishment is called "eternal," but j-'ulents of the ancient uses of the word know that it meant quality rath er than quantity in many cases. And even when the idea of duration was present in the word. It did not carry our present idea of unendingnesa. The Hebrews used the same word when they spoke of the "eternal" hills and .-tars. Now to know that the hills sl'all pass away. Thus the ancient use of the Greek word, "aionlon" leaves us in doubt as the duration of the punishment for sin. But that we shall be punished according to the deeds of the body is beyond question; and even when put in the mildest form permissable, the consequences of sin is the most terrible tragedy on which the human mind may reflect. To trifle with s'n is an unspeakable hazard.
