TEIxS WORLDS MORAL Law.
Furthermore, get now from all this an
answer to the question which every intel
ligent man and woman since the earth
has stood has asked and received no an
swer. Why did God let sin and sorrow
come into the world when he could have
prevented them from comings Iwish rev.
erentlyto say think have found the rea-
son. DO keep the universe loyal to holy
God it was important in some world
somewhere to demonstrate the gigantic
disasters that would come upon any world
that allowed sin to enter Which world
should it be2 Well, the smaller the world
the better, for less numbers would suffer.
So OH world was selected. The stage was
plenty large enough for the enactment of
the tragedy. Enter on the stage sin, fol-
lowed by murder, pain, theft, fraud, i'm
purity, falsehOod, massacre, war and all
the denominations and horrors and agonies
of centuries.
Although we know comparatively little
about the other worlds lest we become
completely dissatisfied with our own, no
doubt the other worlds have heard and are

awful experiment of sin which the human
race has been making. In scme way inter
stellar communication is open, and all
worlds, either by wing of flying spirits or
by direct communication from God, are
learning that disloyalty and disobedience
doom and damn everything they touch,
and the spectacle practically says to all
other worlds, "Obey God, keep holy aid
stay in the orbit where you were intended
to swing, or you will suffer that which
that recreant world out yonder has been
suffering for thousands Of years" It is
no longer to me mystery why so small a
world as ouls was chosen for the tragedy.
A chemist Cal demonstrate all the laws of
earth and heaven in small laboratory,
ten feet by five, and our world was not
too>small to demonstrate to the universe
the,awful chemistry of unrighteousness,
its explosive and irving and consuming
power
j do not believe there is world that has
been in existence from the time when Co
pernicus, the astronomer, knocked on the
door of heaven to the world that last week
came within sight of the observatory ut
Greenwich but has heard of our terrific
terrestrial experiment, and the awful OBJ
jcet lesson has thrilled the multimillions
of stellar population, especially when they
heard that in order to arrest the disaster
of centuries the World Maker and the
World Starter and the World Upholder
must give up his only son to assassination
to expiate and restore and save the victims
of the planetary shipwreck.
THE BIBLE is SCIENTIFIC.
On the tower of Pharos, Egypt, metal
lie Mirror was raised which reflected all
that occurred both on land and sea for a
distance of three hundred miles, and so
Egypt was informed of the coming of her
enemies long before their arrival By what
process know not, but in some way this
ship Of a struggling earth think is mir
rored to distant worlds. Surely this one
experiment of aworld unloosing itself from
God will be enough for all worlds and all
eternities.
But notice that as other worlds rolled
into the first book of the Bible, the book
of Genesis, they also appear in the last
book of the Bible, the book of Revelation.
They will take part in the scenes of that
occasion which shall be the earth's wind
ing up, and tremendous occasion for you
and me personally. My father was on the
turnpike road between Trenton and Bound
Brook, New Jersey. He was coming

halls, where he was serving his state, to
his home, where there was sickness. |
