Our banner in its glory waves
Without a missing star,

Unmarried to-day by war.
The bells of Liberty ring out
From sounding shore to shore,

In peace rejoice the free and brave
From orange tree to pine.

THE CONSEQUENCES OF SIN.
Rev. j. l.. Whites Sermon at the
First baptist Church.


First Baptist Church.
Rev. ]. l.. White preached a strong re-
vival sermon at the First Baptist Church
last night, and will continue the meeting
during the week. The attendance thus far
has been exceptionally good, thought is
expected the congregations will be larger
as the meetings progress
Two sermons will be preached by Rev.
White to-day, one at 10 O'Clock on the sub
ject ''The Religious Household" and the
other at o'clock on the General Judg-
ment."
The consequence of sin was discussed by
Rev. White last night. When the conse-
quences of sin were told in the Bible. he
said, 1t was not with the intention of
arousing fear in mans bosom, but man
Hesitation of Gods love, eager to reach and
convert the world. All men were in Gods
power and If they were to receive pun
ishment for their unrighteous deeds on
earth, il was the .outpouring of pure love
that they should be warned of It, Men
did not then bottle up wrath and pour il
on their own heads without first knowing
the terrible consequences to follow.
Speaking OF the violation of Gods law,
Rev. Mr.. White gave an apt Illustration
OF the reaSonableness of punishment by
reference to The consequences of violating
earthly laws. Were clerk in a CONNER
cial establishment TO break the rules gov
erning him, the probable result would be
his dismissal. 1t is not unnatural, he said
to expect punishment after breaking laws.
There is wrath with God and il is because
OF sin. But hell is not for man-it is for
the devil and his angels. Man only re-
ceives the rebuke which sends him there
by continued violations of law.
A strong presentation of the sin against
the Holy Ghost was made. This sin is
generally admitted to be attributlng the
works of God TO the devil. 1t exists among
those who held that the spirit which
moves men is no more than animal excite
ment or sentmentality. Rev. Mr.. White
showed that continued resisting of the
spirit when it pleads with men, ultimately
ends In their damnation. He spoke of men
in the different stages of life and how peo-
pie delay their salvation until a more op-
perfume time, finally being so hardened
| that the Holy Ghost cannot reach them.
There was general manifestation of in
terest. when penitents were called for, the
sermon having appealed to the sober
! Judgment of the congregation.
