In the Shetland Islands there is man with

Gin 10 fall away The ankle thiczens until IL

That is leprosy, and We have ali got 10 unless

The Bibio is not complimentary In its Ian
guage. 1t does not speak mincingly about
our sins. 1t does not talk apolOgetically.
There is no vermilion in Us style II does not
cover up our transgrcssions with blooming
metaphor. Ii does not sing about them IN
weak falsetto; but 1t thundcrS out: Tho inn
aginatoa of mans heart is evil from his
youth" Every one has gone back he has
altogether bccone filthy. He Is abominable
and filthy, and drinketh in iniquiiy ike
water" And then the Lord Jesus Chris;
nincs down at our feet this hu,riliating cata-
loeue: ''Out OF tho heart Of men proceed
evil thoughts, adulteries, fo-nication, muir
ders, thefts, basphemy." There is
text for your nationalist TO preach from!
Oh, the dignity Of human nature There
is an element Of your science Of man that tho
anthropologist never has had the courage yet
10 touch; and the Bible in oil the ins and
outs OF the most forceful style, sets forth or
natural pollution, and represents iniquity as
frightful thing, as an exhausting thing, as
a loathsome thing IL is not a mere bemiring
OF the feet, it is not a mere befouling OF the
hands: it is going down, head and cnrs under
in ditch. until our own clothes abhor Us.
We MUST RISE ABOVE SIN.
Ny brethren, shall we stay down where sin
thrusts usi shall not II you do. We can
not afford TO. have today 10 tell you that
there is something purer than snow water;
something more pungent than alkali, and
that is the blood Of Jesus Christ that cleanseth
from all sin. Ay, the river OF salvation,
nd hoax cbs-c
through this audience with billowy tide
strong enough TO wash your sins completely
and forever away o Jesusi let the dam that
holds il back now break, and the foods OF
salvation roll over Us.
Let Tho water and the blood
From thy side a healing food,
Be of sin the double cure,
Save from wrath and make me pure
Let us get down on both knees and bathe in
that food OF mercy. Ay, strike out with
both hands and try To swim 10 the other
shore of this river of Gods grace To you is
the word OF this salvation sent. Take this
largoSs OF the divine bounty. Though you
hayo gone down IN the deepest ditch Of Ibid
| nous desire and corrupt behavior, though
| you have sworn all blasphenies until there is
not one sinful word left for you 10 speak
| though you have been submerged by the
| transgressions Of a lifetime though you arc
/ SO far down in your sin that no earthly help
/ can touch your casc-the Lord Jesus Christ
bends over YOU today and offers you his
right hand, proposing TO lift You up, first
making YOU whittier than snow, aud
then raising YOU to glorics that Dcv-
er die. "Billy." said Christian bootblGck
TO another, "whcn we come up 10 heaven
t won't make any difference that we've been
