Awake and Publish" followed. Rev. Robb

the following words: "If as in Adam all died,
even so in Christ shall all Toe made alive
When God put Adam in Eden, ne said, he
looked upon the last proud act and said,
behold, it is good. Adam thought after
awhile that he knew more than God and he
got into trouble. That spirit, the rector
said, is not dead now. Adam walked with
God at first and had a good time, Like a
good many little children he thought be
knew more than the parent. When Adam
got out Of the spirit world he got tired He
cams back to the gates Of paradise, but he
was not permitted TO enter. That IS what sin
will do. 1T will keep you out" he said.
| Soon after no gets out the seed of sin springs
| up. Two brothers live and hate each other,
and one commits murder. He kills his
| brother. God tells him that sin is lying at
his door, What does it ineanl. "Why, c1il-
dren,n said the speaker, ''sin viii crush you !;
it will kill you in the end. 1t has been the
longing of all ages, and it is the effort of all
End co. hail -.
We are thanking God that he, and
he only, is able to open the gates.
There is nothing more remarkable the
preacher said, 'aS we trace from the fall of
Adam to nowadays the condition of little
children The world, be said, had treated
little children inhumanly. No voice but
Christ's said. ''Suffer little children TO come
unto me-" As in Adam all died, so in Christ
shall little children be alive and go back to
paradise, where they were when Adam
transgressed tho law
Rev. Mr.. White told of the poor heather
mother of India, who had never known
what death meant. She took her dead
child and sung to it. She surrounded it
with playthlngs which it had in It's life but
they did not attract the little one. 1t was
dead. The mother carried the babe to the
Buddha and asked him what to do. The
man, recognizing his utter nothingneSs, told
her to 90 through the town, and if she
found that she was tho only one
in that condition to return and her child
should be restored. The mother went to
every house, and she returned to the great
BGddha and told him that this kind of life
has been in every house.
Teach us the Lord and his laws To God
whoever believes are holy and heaven is
their home
