Sandusky, 0., Aug. 15. "Man Is
tempted when lie Is drawn nway of
Ills own desires nml enticed. Then,
when drslro lint conceived. It brlngoth
forth sin; mid slit, when It Is finished,
brlngoth forth dentU" (James I, II, 15).
In proportion to our Intelligence wo
all know t tin t sin abounds In t ho world;
nnd more limn this, that there nro tend
enclcs lownrd sin In our own flesh,
Tho Scriptural declaration Is, "I wns
born In sin nnd shapen In Iniquity, and
In sin did my mother concclvo mo"
(Psnlui II, C). Tho cxplnnntlon of theso
conditions is found only In the lllble,
which tells us Hint tho beginning of
In wns hi Eden, nnd tbnt Its pnlnful
Influence has descended from parent
to child until now, nnd Hint thero was
but ono complete-, remedy for It, which
Is beyond our power, but provided for
us by our Creator through, his glorious
Son, who redeemed us.
Doctrines of Dovlli.
Tho Bible Is God's message to nil
those who uro desirous of learning tho
DIvIno standard and choosing nnd light
ing n good light ngalnst the wrong,
against sin wherever found; but es
pecially ngalnst win tind wouUnostf to
ward hIii In oursolvcs. The more truly
wo discern tliu true philosophies for
- sin and the Divine remedy, the better
we ure proHired to resist It fore
warned we ure forearmed.
However It may bo explained, tho
fact ii'iimlim (hut the world of man
kind, heathen mid civilized, realizing
slu, feels lonsclcnce-Htrlehcn ami an
ticipates punishment of some kind for
violation of recognized laws and prin
ciples of our belug. Ignorance, super
stition, mental unbalance nnd theory,
siipHj'tvil l.v prlesleraft, have led
iiianklud, heathen tind civilized, Into
n fear of an eternity of torture iih u
tiuulshtin'iit fur sins. This tho Apos
tle calls, Doctrines of demons" il
Timothy I v. It, And no doubt the
demons weru responsible In some
measure for the deduction of this doc
trine of eternal torment; because fear
Is otie of the most imwerful lullticuces
(hey can bring to bear upon fallen
humanity as they seel: to captivate
them to aln. Those who have had
much to do with Spiritism (thinking
that they were communicating with
their dead friends, but really fellow
hlplug wlili fallen angels, 'culled
demons In the Scrlplutesi, tell us that
at the beginning these "lying spirits"
gullied control of their wlll.i by telling
them that they should pray much,
even while presenting to them ul
luring, sinful suggestions (1 Timothy
iv, 1). As a later step they tell them
that everything Is glorious nnd every
body happy "In the spirit laud," nnd
that sins of the present llfo uro unlni
portu'ut mutters, loiter on they prick
their subjects' conscience nnd work
upon their fears and tell them that their
case Is hopeless and (but they will
soon have them fully In (heir power
and torment them forever. With de
spair come utter abandonment and u
willingness to treut with tho "evil
spirits." This is sometimes followed
by obsession and not Infrequently rea
son is entirely dethroned and the vic
tim becomes an liimate of an asylum,
Tho safeguard ngalnst till of theso
delusions and misrepresentations Is
found in u corn-i' understanding of
God's Woiil-.' u proportion
as its tmu'hlu .inderstood nnd
followed tho uio.il n lelleved of those
"doctrines of demons" and given n
rational undersluudliiK of what sin is
and of what Its real penalty couslsts.
Obedlenco to its liiMnutious brings
proportional!- measure of harmony
with Uod sad right t-uutfiiess and re
sults in love. Joy. pt-ueo and n holy
spirit or disHJrililon.
"The Waoes of Sin la Death."
Many experience grout dltllculty In
ridding their minds of the "doctrines
of demons"-that the wages of sin is
eternal torment. They tind It dllllcult
to believe the Truth uii tho subject,
which the Scriptures preseut, namely,
that "The wages of sin Is death: but
the gift of God Is eternal life, through
Jesus Christ our Lord" (Itomans vl.
23). God's proposition is that all
slnucrs against his Just laws, after
full opportunity, shall bo "utterly de
stroyed" (Tbessalonlans 1, 0; Acts
III, 23i. The iwwer of eternal life re
sides In God. and he assures us that
he will not give It to any except thoso
who come Into harmony with him.
Vernal life has not been thrust upon
our race. It is entirely contrary to
tho Scriptures to assert that man must
live somewhere to all eternity, either
Ju Joy or anguish. The Scriptures as
sure us to the contrary of this "All
tho wicked will ho destroy."
Our Lord declares that God la able
to destroy both soul aud body in Ge
henna. He who alone has the power
of eternal life has tnudo uo provision
whereby sinners can obtain it aud thus
Injure themselves aud discredit the Di
vine uoverument to all eternity. The
gift of God Is eterual life, and that
gift will be bestowed only upon those
who demonstrate a heart desire in
harmony with God and acceptance of
his provisions for their recovery from

sin and death through his Appointed
Way-Jesus Christ the Itlghtehus.
Thus we lead. "He that bclleveth on
the Sou hath everlasting life; and he
that bellevelli not the Sou, shall not
see life; but "Till: WltATIl OK GOD
AIIIDtiTU ON HIM" (John ill, 30).
Our Text Illustrated.
Tho experience of our first parents
well Illustrates (he lesson of our text.
Mother Hve's desire for knowledge
should have cntilliicd Itself to the Di
vine limitations; but she permitted It
to wander disloyally. Evidently she
turned over In her tiiliul how wonder
ful must be the wisdom of Uod, aud
how she would like to possess us much
as the serpent suggested she might
have. If she would but disobey God
aud cat the foi bidden fruit. Wo cnu
Imagine that she had qualms of conscience-1
hat she heslla(ed (o disobey.
Hut (o even stop to consider the pleas
ures, the advantages, the desirability
of traiisKi'esidnii was to leave her mind
open to u fresh assault. The serpent's
next move was (o suggest to her a rea
son why her lieator had foi bidden (he
eating of the fruit, namely, (hat God
knew that this would maku them wise
as himself', mid that he did not wish
for equals lu knowledge, but desired to
keep (hem In a condition of mental
slavery through Ignorance. Such a
suggestion should have been spurned
by live, and was, uo doubt, rejected
nt first No doubt sho brought' forth
arguments (o prove (ho merciful kind
nesscs nnd generosity of tho Creator
nnd that such an evil, selilsh and Igno
ble spirit as the serpent suggested
could uot possibly belong to her Crea
tor. Hut tho wrong wns In giving tho
least countenance to these suggestions
of disobedience. They should havn
been promptly set nslde. Stopping to
expostulate or reason Is merely open
ing the door for further bcgullomcnt.
In tho lapguago of our text, sho wns
"drawn nwny by her own desire nnd
wns enticed i" then, when desire hud
conceived, the sinful act of eating the
forbidden fruit resulted.
How does desire concclvo? Wo an
swer, The mind entertains tho desire,
warms It, vitalizes It, reflects upon
j what advantages or pleasures would
result; enters Into and cujoys thoso
forbidden pleasures mentally. Thus
Mother Kv reflected that no doubt the
forbidden fruit was specially delicious
to tho palule, luscious; more than this,
that the enlightenment of mind would
bring to her vlstus of thought far be
yond anything sho nnd Adam had ever
previously Imagined. Thus her desire
for knowledge conceived nnd gradual
ly, pcrhups lu moments, perhaps In
hours, perhaps in days, developed more
nnd in uro the thought of (ho Joys mid
pleasures (o result from tho ait of dis
obedience until practically (he wholo
of life was absorbed lu (his one desire,
nnd everything else of her glorious and
proper, blessings on every baud was
practically forgotten and Ignored.
Finally tho Irresistible momeut came.
She look (he fruit. Sho ale It; slu was
born, and the wage of death would
follow lu due course.
The main thing to be noticed Is that
the admission of evil desire into our
heuris. Into our wills, Is the beginning
of sin the conception of slu. After
the conception It Is only u mutter of
lime until It shall be born, unless lu
some manner that sinful desire be
quenched, bo killed. Even (lieu It will
be with serious consequences thai the
wrongly comelvcd slu will be gotten
rid of. The lesson Is, us the Am-.i.V
suggests lu Hie text, the keeping f our
heuris. our minds, so Hh- desires shall
not conceive I herein. This means a
loyalty to Cud mid to the truth aud to
riKhleousuetw, about which the wi rid
lu gtHicrul knows llille.. It means Mutt

As St. I'eter declares, they shall bo "as

Puul says, "They shall be punished
with everlasting destructlou from tho
presence of the Lord" not wJth ever
lasting torment (II Tbessiilonluns I, 0).
Divine Forgiveness of 8ln.
We have seen how slu entered, and
that Its wage or penalty of Dlvluo de
cree IS death extinction. And we
have seen that mental, moral and
physical imperfections are merely ele
ments of our dylug process. If this
were ull that the Mble had to tell us,
it would be valueless (o us, for why
philosophize over u fact If it could uot
in any sense or degree be avoided? If
(here were uo hope, us the Apostle
suggests, wo might as well eat, drink
aud bo merry and make uo attempt
specially to strive against slu, and
thus to bring ourselves luto conflict
with the weaknesses of our own na
tures and oar evil environment. But,
ns the Hd'H'lims itetiuie, "in 're i
forgiveness with Hipp, that thou it:n.
est bu feared" (l'nltn exxx. It. Th
very fait Hint God has prmlded tin
forglveiieos and made pnwl.li an es
rnpn from the ifilulnal death xpiitenru
and return to his favor eternal life
makes life worth living urd puis u
new ambition, n new In pr, n new en
.my Into all tlme who enmo to nn
niderstiiudleg ef It.
If we wen' doming; with fallen men
.Iko ourselves Instead of with (,'rd.
we might say that some men would
clmngo their word nnd others would
not. Put when we think of (he un
changeable God we feel convinced
Hint I ho penlenco he once pronounced
must slnnd. The grcnt Supreme Judge
of the Universe, In (ho findings of his
own court, will not retract his Just
sentence, "Dying, thou shalt die."
Ilenoo we would not be Inclined to
expect eternal life from him who de
clares ngalnst us as a raco that "the
wages of sin Is denlh."
That philosophy once seen Is con
vincing to the last degree. Hrlefly
stated, It Is Hint "y one man hIii
entered Into (ho world, nnd deaih b.
tin; nnd so death passed upon ull men,
for lhn( nil -have sinned;" because all
except tho first man were sinners
by heredity (Itomans v, 12). In other
words, Hip sentence of denth was pro
nounced only against Father Adam.
Everybody else who dies merely
shares In his sentcuco under (he
naurnl luws of heredity. Then God
condescendingly explulns to us the
philosophy of how that one man's sins
being met, tho merit enn Iks made np
pllcnblo (o nil of his posterity, so Hint
the death of one righteous man could
satisfy the claims of Justlco against
tho raco as n whole.
Tho Wonderful Story.
Uut wo Inquire, where could tho one
man be found who would bo willing to
surrender bis own llfo for that of
Adam aud his race? And if such u
generous man could be found how
could he, as n member of the condemn
ed race, bo acceptable to Justice as
man's Kansom PrlieV The Scriptures
again explain that no such man could
bo found amongst Adam's race, nnd
that therefore God so loved the wot Id
that he gave his Son to bo our Itcdceui
or. Then the query comes. Would It be
Just for God to give his Son? Aud
the nnswer Is Scrlpturally given, that'
Ho set before his Son ti -great Joy, u
high reward, and Unit tho Son, fully
In accord with his Father, delighted to
do his wlll-'i'or the Joy that was set
before him. endured the cross, despis
ing the sliamu" (Hebrews xll, 2). We
uro insured that the reward for this
great transaction Is a great one. Tho
Apostle, ufter describing how our Lord,
our lledeeiner, llrst left the glory of
tho heaeuly estate aud humbled him
self to take Hie human nature and was
(lieu found obedient unlo death, even

As we were all born in sin us the
children uf Adam, ml must be burn
