Born With Criminal Inetincte, Lifa It a Battle Against Tham Thar la Nona Righteous, No, Not Ona Whara Liaa tha BlameT Tha V.lua of Corraot Diagnoaia Wa Can Oppoaa Sin Baat Whan Wa Know Ita Origin. Aids and Diaadvantagaa In Fighting Sin Divina Halp Naoassary How tha Naadful Is Provided. C a m bet-land, Md., September 14. Pastor Itussell gave two dis courses here to day. Wa report one of them, on the text, "1 was sbapeu In Iniqui ty; aud la sla did my mother con ceive me." (Psalm 51:5.) He said: Diagnosis is val uable lu the at tempted cure of any malady. This is as true of sin-sickness, depravity, as nf any other ailment of humanity. The better we understand the origin of sin and the methods of its operation in ourselves and in others, the more suc cessful we shall be in combating it We must know what helps to feed the ailment and what tends to destroy it Our forefathers erred, evidently, in their declaration of totnl depravity. None of us ever met a human being entirely depraved entirely devoid of aympathy for righteousness and truth dead to all good influences. Experi ence, however, does corroborate the Bible statement that "there is none righteous, no, not one" all are sin ners. Moreover, the Bllilo goes to the root of the matter; and experience cor roborates its statement in our text that we and all humanity were born in a state of sin, with the predilection or Inclination toward sin. We are not. however, to conclude thut God made us sinners; for the Bi ble contradicts that thought, and as aures us that "all Ills work is perfect." According to the Bible, we received our lives from our parents; and they theirs from their parents; and so back to Futlier Adam. The Bible tells us that our parents tinned, and came un der the Divine sentence of death; and that this mount mental and moral, as well as physical, degeneracy. The AHstlc declares, "By one man's dis obedience sin entered into the world, and death by sln."-Komans 5:12. This curse of death which came upon the race, and which affects us from the moment of birth, Is a terrible, blight. Even though it is much more reasonable than the curse declared by our mistaken creeds the curse of eter nal torineut nevertheless the curse of Ood Is sufQclontly terrible, nnd world-wide. The penalty, "Dying, thou Htmlt die," Is much less horrible than If It had read, "Living, thou sbalt llvo la eternal torment." When, therefore, wo find in ourselves nnd others wayward, sinful tendencies, we reflect that these are evidences of the fall, the curse, and that all who are under such Influences are to be titled. True pity, however, must not be sympathy with sin, but with the tinner, who is handicapped by the predisposition to sin. Bin calls for rudlcai meusurcs for its extermination for the release of the sinner; but our bent efforts for them and for others will be attained through a knowledge of the facts, and through the exercise of the proper sympathy. Thero are Itrobably more people- Injured through lack of sympathetic help thau are help ed by the administration of cold blooded Justice without tenderness or aympathy. We have been slow to learn this lesson,. parental Sympathy Needed, Undoubtedly us human sympathy expands through a knowledge of the facts, both parents and children will be blessed by that lucreaso of knowl edge. Parents need to learn that their own mental moods and sympathies with right or wrong servo to stamp, to birth-mark their children, cither fa vorably or unfavorably. The parents of a vicious child should reflect that they bud much to do with that vicious uess. Properly Informed and right willed, they might have. produced the child with a much more favorable or ganism. It requires a great deal of training to work out of the child's dls SioMtlon that which was Inbred at Its iiirth. Indeed, the probability Is that only a small portion of It will ever be rndlcnted in this life. We ore not forgetting the Scripture which says, "Who can bring a clean thing out of on unclean?" We remain 'her this, and merely suggest that tho Imperfect sinner-child, shapen In In Jiuity and conceived In sin, moy have mors or lei of sinful disposition. We are suggesting that a weighty rcspon ullilllty rests upon pareivts In respect to the pre-natal Influences exercised, i well as to their porentnl obligations ftor their children are born. With what care, what loyalty to God wnd righteousness, what desire to tnnlntnln purity of heart and loveliness of character, the procreatlvt powers hoiild be exercised!

What a different world in many respects we might be living in today, if parents had recognized these prln- lples and felt their responsibilities and lived up to them! Thank God, death does not end all! and the lessons now being learned through disappoint ments and tears will, we believe, in many instances prove proUtuble in the great Hereafter. "Brethren, What Shall Wa Do?" This was the question asked of the Apostle Peter by those who heard him preach and learned that we were sin ners under condemnation. We should discern that the question is not What shall we do to escape damnation, or condemnation? We were born in damnation, condemned to death as un worthy of life. The Divine decree Is that no Blnner mny have everlasting life. It is a gift of God, designed, not for sinners, but for those who are per fect, sinless. Adam was condemned to death as soon as he became a trans gressor; and all of his children were born in the same condemned condi tion. Condemnation passed upon all men because all are sinners. All are Imperfect, fallen. Our text tells us that they were born In this fallen, dis approved or condemned condition. The question with us, then, is not What shall we do to escape coming under condemnation? lor the whole world Is condemned already. (John 3:18.) The question Is, How shall we, who are already condemned of God as unworthy of everlasting life, get free from that condition in which we were born and get back into that con dition of perfection which God will approve, in which we should be ac counted worthy of everlasting life? The Bible answers our question. It tells us that God has had compassion upon our race and has provided the Savior. It explains that for God to be Just and yet grant forgiveness to the sinner requires thut One shall pay sub stitutional the pennlty originally pronounced against Father Adam. This being effected, the Bedeemer wlll( have the right to restore to perfection Adam and all bis posterity desirous of returning to God. The Message respecting this merciful arrangement Is called the Gospel the Good Tidings that there Is a way of return from sin to holiness and from condemnation to death back to Justifi cation of life. "Times of Reetitution." As we have seen, the thing needful for all who desire to return to God's favor Is thut they may be restored to that condition of physical perfection lu which Adam was before he sinned. When thus restored, they would have the same opportunity of demonstrat ing loyalty to God that Adam had at first If they, when recovered, stand the tests of loyalty and obedience, they shall receive God's gift of ever lasting life. Aud they shall receive it through Jesus Christ; for the way was opened up by Ills sacrificial death, "the Just for the unjust" and their salvation accomplished by His work of Restitution. Not until reccutly have Bible stu dents discerned how far our forefa thers have been confused lu respect to the Dlvlue I'lau through neglect of the Bible for fourteen hundred years. They now see thut Jesus and the Apostles and Prophets taught that God's great time for dealing with the world Is yet future under Messiah's Kingdom. The thousand years In which that Kingdom shall rule the world, restraining sin, chastising sin ners and helping the willing and obe dlent back to perfection, is called by 8t Peter "Times of Itcstltutlon of all things, which God bath spoken by all Ills holy Prophets."-Acts 3:21. The institutionary work of those thousand years will be accomplished by the power of Messiah's Kingdom, and the Elect Church of this Gospel Age will be associated with the Be deemer in Ills Throne and In the great work of restoring the obedient of man kind to perfection. That thousand years is also called the time of the world's resurrection or raising up anairaifi. Bible students now discern that the word raiurrection In the Greek slgulfles more than merely the awak ening from death. It aiguilles the lift ing up of the Individuals to human per fection to that which was lost by Adam and redeemed by Jesus' death. During those Times of Hestltutlon, Satan Is to bo bound, that he mny no lunger deceive humanity, us ho bus been doing with false doctrines, put ting light for darkness and darkness for light On tho contrary, the time when he, the l'rliien of Darkness, is cast down from influence amongst men will be tho time when Christ nnd Ills Bride, the Church, will become tho Pun of Itlghteousness to tho world iiml scatter all Its Ignorance nnd su perstition. (Matthew 13:43.) Respect ing that time the Bible assures us thut all the sln-bllnded eyes shall be open ed, and nil the sin-deaf ears shall be unstopped, aud the truo Message of God's Love shall be made known, and "the knowledge of the glory of the Lord shall All the whole earth." God's Dealing With the Church. God has a special plan and a spe cial salvation for the Church. lie de sires that the Church shall consist of a very special class, tie has issued a meclul call therefor, and has pre serlbcd special terms or conditions for members of this class. All who will be accepted as mem bers of the Bride, the Lamb's Wife, must have the same spirit mind or disposition that Jesus bad. Did He delight to do the Father's will? So must these. Waa Be willing to be Sermon onement to the Father's win to the extent of sacrificing earthly pleasures and advantages? and to the extent of death? So must His followers walk in Ills steps, as lie has set them an example, looking unto Jesus, the Au thor and Finisher of their faith. The invitation to these is that if they suf fer with Christ they may also reign with Him, share His nature and glory and honor. They are advised from the first that the footsteps of Jesug are the way of the cross. These disciples of Jesus in the pres ent Age are figuratively styled "sol diers of the cross," and Jesus Is de clared to be the Captain of their salva tion, leading them on through victories to glory. Their battle in some respects is the same as the world will have in the next Age. only more intense, more concentrated. The world will have a thousand years in which to fight and win. The battle of the Church as a whole Is more than eighteen centuries long, but each Individual share is much shorter. The coming Age will be the world's time for gaining a victory and escaping from the condemnation, the Imperfection, that came upon all the race through Adam's sin. Children of Wrath aa Others. We are not to think of those whom God accepts as the Church as being different by nature from the remainder of mankind. On the contrary, we are particularly Informed that we were torn "children of wrath, even as oth ers." But this special class get free from the condemnation, or damnation, that came upon tho race through Adam In a different way from that of the world in the next Age. They first ex ercise fulth in God's promises nnd in Jesus ns the Redeemer. They realize by faith that the merit of His death Is the basis of deliverance from the damnation, or condemnation, passed upon all and of reconciliation with God and restitution to perfection and at tainment of everlasting life. The Kingdom of Messiah, through which these blessings are to be ex tended to mankind, having not yet been established, these believers can not get these blessings. However, to them comes a special messnge or invi tation to become members of the King dom class "heirs of God and Jolnt hclrs with Jesus Christ" their Lord; "If bo be that they will suffer with Him. that they may be nlso glorified togeth er nnd share the kingdom. Romans 8:17; 2 Timothy 2:12. Charmed with the prospect these are not daunted by the trials und difficul ties of the way, especially when they hear the Redeemer's Word encouraging them and saying. "Feur not. 1 have overcome the world." "Greater is He that Is on your part than all they that be against you." "My strength Is made perfect lu jour weakness." "All things shall work together for good to them that love God to the culled ones according to Ills purpose." Thus encouraged, these believers make a full consecration of themselves to God and Ills service, realizing und confessing their own imperfection und Insufficiency, and pledging themselves to fight a good fight against sin in every form under the captaincy of Je sus. Jesus becomes the Advocate of all who come unto the Father through Him during this Age. He supplements their sacrifice In such a manner as to make it perfect holy and acceptable to God. (Romans 12:1.) They give their wills, and resign all earthly In terests and rights. He adds to their sacrifice all those Restitution qualities which would be theirs In due time un der the Kingdom. Thus they stand complete in Him. When the Father accepts these by the begetting of nis Holy Spirit they become Ills children. His saints, "heirs of God and Jolnt-hcirs with Je sus Christ" to "the Inheritance incor ruptible nnd undefllcd, reserved in Heaven" for them. 1 Peter 1 :3-5. Then the Fight Begins. Every battle ugalust sin is a good fight whether It be the battling of the world during the Times of Restitution, or the butl.llngs of the Church during this Age. Hut because God designs to give the Church a higher nature, a greater salvutlon, therefore He re quires of every member of It a special demonstration of lovo and loyalty. And who will say that this Is not a reasonable requirement of these sons? These splrlt-begotten sons are all alike lu the sense that they have one mind, one spirit one disposition the Spirit of Christ, the spirit of holiness, the spirit of loyalty to God. But these are all distinctly different ns respects their flesh. All are imperfect, but some more and some less so. Some are more and some less educated; some more nnd some less wise; some more and some less talented. But the tests are all under Divine supervision. Tho Lord sees to It thut each shall be thoroughly tested. Each must have trials, difficulties, besetments, from the world, the Adversary nnd his own flesh. F.ach must personally demon utrato his loyalty to the principles for which Christ died the principles of righteousness. The chief lessons for nil of these sons of God to learn arc: (1) Faith in God-full trust in Him and His providence; ('Ji Loyalty to Illm-to the principles of Ills Government and to all those whom lie has accepted as sons. (Ill They must all possess In large degree God's own Spirit of love, kind ness, gentleness and mercy, as well as of tho Truth. They will not however, be Judged holy according to the flesh. Rather. Judgment or decision, in their cases will be rendered according to the spir it the Intention, the will. They will be rewarded (or what they have en deavored to do and have striven to do In harmony with tha Divine will, rath er than according to the success the have ttalned. The Markets The British government 's official es-. timate of the acreage in hops this year is 35,613 acres, 782 acres more than last year, but 1S00 acres less than dealers estimated. The total yield is given at 250,000 cwt., as compared with the of ficial figures last year of 373,43$ cwt. Reports from the continent show Ger man hops are selling at a price equal to 80 cents hero. Evidently the foreigners are trying to break the Oregon market and all growers have to do is to stand pat, for the supply is ftir short and the world must have the Oregon crop. They should be worth 40 cents here, are in fact worth that, and will probably bring it before the crop is exhausted. In this connection it is noted that beer sales were 656,542 barrels greater in August, 1913, than in the same month last year. The total consumption of beer in the United States during the month of Au gust this year was 7,277,526 barrels. Wheat is lifeless and other markets show no changes, all being well sup plied.
