MORAL EVIL.

MORAL EVIL.
Men of gigantic intellectual powers have
attempted to account for the existence OF
moral evil. The problem is too difficult for
the finite mind No satisfactory solution of
it has ever been given. No satisfactory So
luton of it ever will be given until the
grand mysteries concerning creation, provl-
dence and grace are revealed. The fact that
we are unable, satisfactorily, to account for
the entrance of sin into our world does not
warrant the conclusion that sin exists by ne
cessity. Nor are we at liberty to conclude
that there is no such thing as sin. There
are some problems, apparently very simple
problems, which cannot be solved, mathe-
matically. Mechanically, the solution of
these problems presents very little difficulty.
So it is with regard to the entrance of moral
evil into our world. We know that it is
now in the world. Its foot prints are on
every spot of earth. We know that moral
evil has been in our world as far back in the
past as there is any history of it's inhabi-
tants. There was, it is admitted, period
when sin did not have an existence in our
world. This period was of short duration.
So short was it that not single event took
place for the historian to record. Moral evil
originated not on earth but in heaven. This
is the most wonderful fact in its history. 1t
is, however, fact. From heaven it de-
scended to this world on which we live.
How long a period elapsed from the origin
of moral evil in heaven until it was COM
municated to earth, no one knows. 1t is
highly probable that sin began in heaven
before this world had an existence except in
the creative mind of God. On this subject,
we have no positive revelation. We are
told in the Scriptures that "all things were
made by Jesus Christ" the Mediator. In
the same connection, we are told that "all
things were made for him." Not made for
him as God, essentially considered. This is
no doubt true, but it is not the truth which
is taught by Paul, in the language quoted.
Evidently, the apostle designs to impress it
upon our minds that all things were made
for Jesus Christ as the Goldman, Mediator.
This is as clear as noOn-day. Such being
the case, the inference is that the creation of
this world was part of the mediatorial
scheme. The probability is that it was the
sin of angels and not the sin of man that
opened the way to the mediatoral work of
Jesus Christ. The grand end of that work
is to put an end to sin. The first mediato-
rial act of Jesus Christ was to thrust rebel
lious angels out of heaven. This was before
the incarnation of the son of God. 1t was
probably before the creation of man. Jesus
Christ undertook not for angels but for men.
1t is evident from the Scriptures that Jesus
Christ undertook to thwart the devices of
his mission. The birth of Jesus Christ
startled lost spirits. They regarded him as
their untimely tormentor.
Whatever may have been the origin of
moral evil it's remedy and only remedy, is
the blood of Jesus Christ. Nothing else re-
leases those who are effected by it of its dire
full results.

BORN AGAIN.

Nothing can be more manifest than that
some change must be effected in all of us, or
none of us can enter heaven. Heaven is not
only the eternal home Of happy beings, but
it is the dwelling place Of beings in perfect
harmony with God. Happiness and sinful
ness are incompatibes. Where the one is
the other cannot be. Sin produces misery
with as absolute certainty as the waters OF
the rivers find their way into the ocean.
Misery, in some form, is the result of sin.
Not a possible result, but a necessary result.
The inference is that in the order of nature
and in point of time freedom from sin pre-
cedes happiness. Heaven is happy place
because it is holy place. We may not be
able to state precisely in what the change,
which must take place before we can enter
heaven, consists, but we are forced to infer
that it is of such a nature as to entitle those
in whom it is effected to be called new crea-
lures. 1t must be a most complete change.
1t is called in the Scriptures resurrection,
Il quickening into life, and being born again
or being born from above. Take these pas
sages Of Scripture and put them together
and we have minute, clear and compre-
hensive description of mans spiritual con-
dition. He is dead in trespasses and sin and
buried in iniquity. From this state or con-
diton, he must be quickened into life and
resurrected from spiritual death.
The change must be, not simply change
in external department, but change in the
tendencies of the powers Of the soul. 1t
must be an internal change, which will, by
natural law, produce external reformation.
The mind must be enlightened, the attec-
tions purified and the will subdued. Fifty
this change is called being born again. 1t
is making good thing out of an evil thing.
The change is so great that it cannot be
effected by any creature. 1t is the proper
work of Gods Holy Spirit. In producing
this change God uses means. This means is
the word read or preached. This is the
plan which God, in his wisdom, has adopted.
directly, and without the use of any sec
ondary instrumentalities, God could, by the
fiat of command, change us from death to
life, but this he does not propose to do. In
some way, we know not how, the reading
of the Bible and the preaching of the gospel
are instrumentalities used by the Holy Spirit
in quickening the soul dead in trespasses,
into life We know not how or why this is.
All we know is that such is Gods plan of
quickening souls into life. In this, as in
everything else, God has seen fit to magni-
fly his word above all his works.

WE ARE ALL MIssIONARIEs.-Eve
Christian man is, by his oath of allegiance,
a missionary. There is not one law for min,
lister and another for hearer. The gospel
does not bind the preacher and absoive the
Gods revelation which says that the one
must work, and sacrifice and give, and the
other may hoard and keep. You may be
tied down to the dull routine of daily toll,
and yet your life hid with Christ in God,
may make you one of the best preachers OF
Righteousness in the world. You may be a
great stammerer, and your life OF love 60
straight to every heart. We ecana all give our
example. A chance word OF reproof,a way
side word of warning, a loving invitation,
an act of Christian courtesy done in Chris
tian way, may lead others unto Christ. 1t
is not so much where we are, as what we
are, and it is not alone what we do, but the
way we do it. A man who loves the Saviour

must in some way be the refuge of the wea-
ry. If he speaks, it must be as one tempted
man speaks to another who is battling with
temptations. 1t is not done by fierce warn
ings. 1t is not by assailing sinners as you
would besiege a city. 1t is the old and
blessed story of Gods love leading weary
souls to Jesus, helping them to grope out of
the dark and tangled wilderness, and cheer
ing them at every step on the way to deliv
erance and safety. There is no one so poor
that he cannot do something for Christ.
Whether it be the "Widow's Mite" or the
rich mans gift, God will bless it.

A REMARKABLE SToRY.-Professor War
rem, of Dover, n. j., lectured in the high
school hall at New Haven recently, and
told a remarkable story concerning John
Hancock, one of the signers of the Declara-
ton of independence, who, he stated was
under Indictment for smuggling 100000
worth of liquor into the colonies, A friend
of the lecturer was engaged not long since
by the descendants of Hancock to gather
material from which to write the history OF
Hancock's life. The material was collected
and read, when members of the family, i'm,
mediately offered the writer 81 900 to hand
over the work and not make any further in
vestigation. The writer took the money
and the book was never lssued.-CHtc09o

ORIGIN OF THE SECRET SESSIONS.

Under existing rules two Senators can
close the doors Of the United States Senate
at any time, even though all others regard it
as unnecessary. The original rule, as adopt
ed February 90, 1894, is still in force as fol-
lows:
"On motion made and seconded to close
the doors of the Senate on the discussion of
any business which may, in the opinion OF
Senator, require secrecy, the presiding Off
GERS shall direct the galleries to be cleared;
and, during the discussion of such motion
the doors shall remain closed"
The only changes from the original rule IS
that "clOSe" is substituted for shut ana
"Senator" for member.
For some years after the organization of
Congress in 1889 the public were excluded
from all deliberations of heSenate, and that
body sat regularly with closed doors. The
first effort to change this mode OF pro-
cedure and permit the people OF the coun,
and said on the 3Oth of April, 1880, when
motion was made "that the doors of the
Senate chamber shall be open when the Sen
ate is sitting in their legislative capacity, to
the end that such of the citizens of the Uni
ted States as may choose to hear the debates
of this house may have an opportunity OF SO
doing"
But so little respect did the "fathers of the
republic" have for the people that they re-
ected this proposition outright. At the
two subsequent sessions the same motion
was repeated, only to meet, on each occa-
sion, the same fate as when first submitted.
On the 18th of April, 1892, motion was
made to admit the members of the House
of Representatives to attend the debates OF
the Senate when sitting in its legislative ca
pacity, but that sense of exclusion which
has clung to the Senate and is still so mark
ed feature of the body, prompted the re-
lection of this proposition. A yea and nay
vote was taken, resulting in the defeat OF
the motion by a vote of six ayes to sixteen
hayes.
it was not until December 8, 1895, that the
Senate formally consented to open its doors
to the people, though the rule quoted above
in relation to motions to close the doors was
adopted February 20, 1874, simultaneously
with resolution permitting the doors to be
opened. On the first day named Oecem-
Der 9, 1867, the following was adopted:
"Resolved, That in conformity to reso-
luton of the Senate of the United States,
passed February "a, 1874, the gallery OF the
Senate chamber be permitted to be opened
every morning, subject to the restrictions IN
said resolution mentioned" )" /. e., to be
closed on a motion having second.
Since 1868 the motion to proceed to the
consideration of executive business has been
one of those that can be made while ques-
ton is under debate, and is the second III
importance. The motion to adjourn is first
in order while debate is pending, and next
comes the motion to proceed to executive
business, which, when carried, closes the
galleries and puts the Senate in secret ses-
sion.- Washington Star.

To deal justly is to give each Individual
his rights, or what lis honestly entitled to.
1t would seem that this ought to satisfy us
all, but it does not. In fact, we want to be
dealt with unjustly in that we be given
more than we are entitled to. We are de-
serous thatan unjust discrimination be made
in our favor. We over estimate our worth.
We weigh more in our own scales than IN
those of any one else. This we cannot un-
derstand, and because we cannot understand
it, we conclude we are unjustly dealt with.

THE EVIL OF DOZING.-The London
Lancet discusses the subject of rising at the
end of sleep. Doing it declares is not ad-
missible from any reasonable or health
point of view. The brain is the first to fall
asleep and is followed by the active organs,
and it is only perfect and natural when
shared by all the several parts of the organ
ism. All the parts of the system are not
equally exhausted, and those least fatiguedl
soonest wake, while those most exhausted
are aroused with the greatest difficulty.
The several parts of the organism should
need rest at the same time. TO bring this
about person should "wake early and feel
ready to rise this far and equal start of the
sleepers should be secured, and wise self
manager should not allow drowsy feeling
of the consciousness or weary senses or an
exhausted system to beguile him into the
folly of going to sleep again when once his
consciousness has been aroused" The Wri-
ter declares that man who will not allow
himself to doze, will, in a few days, find
himself almost unconsciously ian early
riser"

WORTH A LICKING.-SOme years ago, IN
Georgia, that band of Christians known as
Ascentionists were having grand revival.
One day, when the meeting was in full
force, a storm came up, and young gentle
man who was out hunting, with his servant,
took refuge in the church door. Being curl
Gus to see the service, the two hunters crept
up into the gallery, and there hid in place
where they could observe without being
observed.
"Come, Lord, come, our robes are ready.
while all present gave loud 'Amen.n
''Marsa Gabe," whispered Cutfy, lifting
his hunting horn to his mouth, "let me glib
dem jist one toot."
"Put that horn down or I'll break your
head" replied the master, in a whisper.
The horn dropped to his side and again
the minister cried: "Come, Lord, come; we
are all ready for thy coming. Come, Lord,
come"
"Do, Marsa Gabe-do jist lemme glib 'em
list one little toot," pleaded Cuffy, wetting
his lips and raising his horn.
eff you don't drop that horn, Cuffy, III
whip YOU within an inch of your life, D." Whis-
pered the eXasperated master.
"Blow, Gabriel, blow; we are ready f0r
his coming. Blow, Gabriel, blow" pleaded
the minister.
Cuffy could no longer resist the tempta-
tion and sent wild peal, ringing from end
to end of the church; but long before it's
last echo died away his master and himself
were the only occupants of the building. -.
"Is ready fur de lickin,' Marsa Gabe,'" !"
said Cuffy, showing every tooth in his head,

SHALLOW PLANTING OF CORN.-TEere
are two weighty reasons, says write: in
the Farming World, for shallow culture.
First, corn hilled up will blow down more
readily it checks the spreading of the roots,
which naturally run far out near the surface
of the ground. 1 am speaking of the top
roots, not the deep running ones, now, the
hilling tending to confine the surface roots
to the hiIl weakens the hold of the stalk
upon the ground. When the surface roots
have their own way they grasp the ground,
anchoring the corn. Hilling confines many
of the roots to small feeding grounds. Let
nature have her course in this particular.
