Corinthians 5, 20, "Be ye recon ciled to

II the still, small voice is listened to, for
in that voice may be heard the Lord
speaking. Sin is u violation of the moral
law; sin is n blow at God Every law de-
mands II law-giyer and a maker and
every law can be traced to God When
laws are violated the violators are damAg-
ing the love that gave the law. Whom the
call comes be reconcilod to God.
'In regard to morality" continued Mr.
MacMullin, ito be q moraist is to be
glorious; and the moralist who yields to
not glorious. The only thing God de-
mands is passionate love- A union of
troubled hearts with His strong arm is hut
the spontaneous wish of soul to its lover.
There is nothing like God 5 freedom. The
people must get passonately in love with
God and got rcconcilod to His methods.

need
BE ye holy for am Holy" Religion is

There is a great difference between not do
ing wrong and doing right. God wants
His people to be welded to holiness, and to
get in love with God Men should bo In
earnest in the effort to make their lives

man and God, and it is sin. 1 will cast
oil sins into the depths of the sea, snid the
Lord. BE ye reGonciled unto God.
