THE STING or DEATH.
DIR. Judkins' Able Sermon at Centenary
Last Might.

Rev. DR.. William T. Judkins, .erly
pastor at Centenary, and later at Laurel
Street, preached an instructive and elo-
quent sermon to large congregation
at Centenary church last night The SER
vices were opened by the singing Of the
hymn ooh, Could 1 Speak the Match
less Truth" after which DR.. Judkins Of
fered up a fervcnt prayer Then the
hymn, Rock OF Ages" was given out,
and the large ediice resounded with the
sweet familiar strains.
DR.. Judkins took his text from the
fifteenth chapter of the First Episue TO
the Corinthians, 56th and 9th verses:
The sting OF death is Sin. and the
strength of sin is the law, but thanks be
TO God. who give thus the victory through
our Lord, Jesus Christ"
MAN DEPENDENT.
Man. he said, is a dependent being, and
God saw fit to crea e the tree Of life for
his preservation. We do not know wheth-
er God proposed, had man never sinned
TO translate him to higher state or
existence without the pains OF death. God
said OF the forbidden fruit, ION the day
that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely
die" And man did then die spiritual
death through the loss of Gods image.
But il was through sin that physical
death came into the world. Ii Is true
that through sin all that rs repulsiye in
death has come among US.
There is an hour when the soul feels
the sting of utter bereavement; when
all things hoped for and looked for are
swept away. This is the sting of death.
All hope OF future betterment is gone.
The very situation constitutes hell III
itself Hope gone; remorse. haggard, and
Int
the presence of God with his sins I'M
pardoned. The sting of death is sin.
Sin is the transgression of the law. We
mean by the law the whole gospel. No
man is held responsible for neglect of
duty that he never knew Of; but when
duty is known and neglected, there trans
erosion begins. No man can plead as an
excuse for the neglect OF duty, with the
Christian advantages by which we are sur
rounded. When we remember that none
of us ever act except from the motive
we can appreciate the fact that the gos-
pei moves around the whole circle of mo-
tives. appealing to mans self-interest and
10 his fears by threats of hell.
This law not only explains duty explicit
ly, but il adopts all its demand 10 our
capabilities. There jTn't one solitary COM
mand or demand that God makes upon
us that Is not within the bounds of our
capacities. 1t is one of the glories of
the gospel that II comes and presents
universal atonement. IL a man don't
choose TO be saved he can't blame God.
THE BENIFICENT GOSPEL
The gospel Is beneficent In design. We
all know that God in ali that he lays
upon us Is only aiming TO eradicate sin
from us and better our spiritual condi-
ton. The law aims at the edification OF
the race and the salvation Of the indi-
vidual. Now l submit II a law which
aims at such good for US. II 1t Is broken
deserves dire punishment. We stand self
convicted and deserving of death.

Sunday school that much important work
