WhOm SeuuctlNe associates Hau WHis-
pered promises OF fidelity, and had
sworn continued allegiance? Is this
the young man who cried ''Hurrah for
the world, and the worlds pay" Alas.
alas, yes, yes. And no man gave unto
him"
REAP WHAT WE SOW.
How comes it? Why this change? 1t
| is simply the outcome of a national law.
| The law that says What a man sows
that shall he also reap" Now what is
the wCrld as we thus understand IT"
so much of earth with vegetable and
animal life? Yes and no. 1t is yes
when we understand that there Is Il
principle beneath the dirt that speaks
of it as an object of attainment and
| that its attainment is thing greatly
desired for he who has. The earth has
everything measured by dollars and
cents. whilst he who is without is in
| abject poverty. That is the world,
| however. as understood in opposition
| to heaven. Heaven being the highest
possible attainment of man by spiritual
progressiveness The world being the
attainment of man by simply human
| methods plus the helpfortness of Sa-
| tonic influences. Hence the Divine
Apostle says Love not the World
neither the things that are in the world
the father is not in him." So. take it.
that he who loves the world must be the
| follower of him who is opposed to the
Kingdom Of God and Heaven. Now the
gain OF the world implies the loss of the
soul. At least the loss of the soul an
| pears Il consequent of such gain. whilst
| an embarcation in pursuit of its pre-
| sumed pleasures has ALWAYS proven
| disastro to body and soul of the seek
er. The world is a synonym for deceit
and treachery. To trust the world is to
trust the Jack o. Lantern Of the swamp
or the mirage of the desert. For all
| this is In the world passeth away and
the lust thereof having no permanency
| all its promises are false. 1t ruins body
| and soul.
LOSS IS THE RESULT.
Does it promise gain. Its result is
| loss? Does 1t promise happiness? it's
| result is unhappiness. Does II promise
plea sure? its result is wretchedness and
misery. Does il promise prosperity? Its
| results are adversely and ruin. Does
1t promise friends see its results in this
young man And no man gave unto
him" This is the worlds pay, neglect,
pain. heartaches. woe. sorrow, disgrace,
rags, hunger and ruin. I call you to
witness its truth, for ii is true today
| rs ever In the past.
| Now IT the world waS all. We should
be in sorry plight. But against the
| faisity of the world-its deceitfulness
and treaChtry, against it's turning away
| from former rutaries and refusing rec
ognition and giving not back to those
