The True Woman vs. The New One.
ooD's WORD ON TIE SUBJECT.

Gods word which ends all contro-
versy with true christians, seems to
be very little accounted of in this
day and generation. If human will
-lawlessness-desires anything for
the qualification or exaltation of the
natural man, way is found to set
aside the scriptures, or to use them
deceitfully, or to wrench them from
their connection and true meaning
to ease a weak conscience and sat
isfy the covetous desire. 1t is by
means Of this kind that many sin
cere and good women are being led
into Satan's snare to bring forward
the new woman and add to the moral
declenslon OF the race which is now
everywhere so apparent
Gods order for the earth on this
subject is found in LIST Corinthians,
eleventh chapter and third verse, as
follows "But would have you
know that the head Of every man is
Christ, and the head of tile woman
is the man and the head of Christ is
God" In this order we have the
Lord Jesus, when on earth, walking
wholly in subsection to God. He
did always those things which
pleased God He came to do God S
will. not His own, and even in the
agony Of the garden, with the dread
ful death of the cross Immediately
before Him, His prayer for escape
ended thus Nevertheless, not my
will but phine be done" He walked
fully in Gods order during all His
earthly career. No other man has
ever done this,
Man has never been walking in
tine earth according to this order.
lie has from the beginning been law
less and rebellious. Hence the fall
of Adam, led away by his wife who
was deceived; but Adam was not
deceived. He was lawless. From
this root have originated all the sins
and woes OF the world. 1t is the
veritable Paudora's Box out Of which
have issued all the disorders and af
liictions Of the race Man in his ma
ture is depraved and whenever this
nature is allowed to act it must nee
essarily be in the depraved direction.
1t is impossible to act otherwise.
IL is for this reason that man must
have new lifo.n "Ye will not
come to me, says Jesus to the Jews,
that We might have life" Life, a
aep ife,is what is needed, and this
man can have alone by new crea-
ton, out of heaven, by the power of
God "Ye must be born again, not
only converted, but born of God.
Herein man gets a nelU nature which
Is not depraved and in this nature,
by the power Of God, given through
5he Holy Spirit he can walk in Gods
order, not otherwise But this must
always be in subsection to God, It'll
must be in the Spirit of Jesus ex-
pressed in His own words as follows:
i came not to do mine own will, but
he will of Him that sent men Here |
S where man must stand to be able /
% walk in Gods order. No will of /
lis own but Gods will, as set forth |
n His word be done at all times and |
lnder all circumstances. This is
he true christian position and any.
hing short of this is not of God but
S Of the natural man and is sin.
Whatsoever is not of faith is sin.
Rom. xiv, 90.
Man has failed to walk in Gods
rider because OF selEwill. He wills
o suit himself and is not in subiec
