Paul tells us ia | Cor, i0.li, that all those
tnings that happened unto the Children of
lsT-si ara given Tor examples 10 those upon
whom the ends II the world are come.
They are for our admOnltlon. The dsstruc-
ton OF tho cities of the plain, by IRE and
birthstone raiued from heaven. was an ex-
ample showing what will be the ultimate
disposal OF the finally wicked. God deals
win sin according 10 two OF mis- attributes.
w. "a ercy and justice. As all example OF
Gods mercy, attention may De called 10 the
incidsnt oil the capture OF Jericho by the
lsraeitss, directly after entering the land
of CsanGn. This city fell into their hands
through the mercy and power of God. But
directly afterwards they came 10 the city of
Al. place of less size and impoftance
But IL was not so easily taken, tue Israel
ties suffered defeat at hrst, and IN seeking
the cause, II was soon decided that there
was SIN IN tke camp. Then came the sys-
lenatic method ol examination whereby
the offender was found ia the person OF
AChan, he mad dared 10 take some OF the
spoils trOm the capture OF Jericho. lie had
IN his possession a Baby lOnish garment,
golden wedge. and money. We ell know
ths punishment that was dealt out TO him
and Ais family. This was an instance OF
Gods justice that stands for our instruc-
ton. and should not be lost sight Of The
20 ~ a hs-
protesting Christians in this age.
The case or Anniss and Sapphira stands
as another remarkable example OF Gods
justice
Ia the case Of David. he took every pre-
caution 10 cover up MS great sin. but it
found him out. We are familiar with Ma
than's conversation with him, ana OF
DaVid's sell conviction. In the Lord dealing
with David upon this occasion, We sees an
exhibition OF wonderful mercy.
Take the sin OF Pster in denying his
LORD. Notwithstanding the warning that
had been given him, he si7 ned grievously;
but when he received that piercing look
rom the Savior, he went out and wept Bit
tely. In mercy the Lord had revealed his
sin 10 him. When our sins are revealed to
us, We should ever regard it as an exen pill
hcstion OF Gods great mercy to u.s. Gods
word Is q discernsr OF the thoughts and in
tents IF the heart, and by looking into this
mirror that has been given TO us, we may
discover our defects.
The provision that God has made for the
eradication OF sin is the most wonderful
instance of his mercy that exists In form
ing this plan, II was necessary that God
should maintain the integrity of bus gov
ernment ana yet show mercy unto the re-
pentant sinner. The punishment for sin
could net be remltted, because that would
be compromising with sin. And so Il was
provided that the Son OF God should re e
ceive in bis own body the blow OF Justice
Toe law Of God was divine law, and noth-
ing less than divine sacrifice cond be ec-
cepted IN case of It's violation. Through
Gods mercy It is provided that If We confess
our sins, GCd i faith vi and Just to forgive
Us our sias. and cleanse Us from all iniQuity
and thus va nay go tree from the effects
that would otherwise follow. This plan be-
came possible because of the deafn Of the
son Of God as the Savior of the world.
But We must not make tie mistake or
thinking hat because there is provision tor
tue forgiveness Of sin. that We can 20 right

Gods justice will Dc the rule Of action. and
n will most surely Ind out whatever Of sin

Now whiie Gods mercy still liDgers. all
