WHAT SIN DOES.
WHOLESOME ADVICE FROM REV.
DIR GRAMMER


The Rev. DR.. Grammcr preached
Sunday in the morning. with reference
To the class that he is forming for con-
hrmation on the visitation OF the l5ish-
op. the first sunday in April. His text
text was: How shall we escape ii
We neglect SO great salvation?"
On the nature and duration OF the
punishment Of sin. he said that the
Episcopal Church had 10 dogma. and
The matter had been 50 decided by the
highest courts OF the church. For
practical purposes it was enough TO
know that sin led To punishment. and
II was not safe to speculate upon the
secret counscls OF God. Ono thing was
certain. and that WAS that sin led TO
ruin, that it disqualified the sinners.
ana palstcd the will. destroyed tho af-
lection and weakened or degraded tho
personality. These processes had
proven their destructive power every
where. except inside tho circle of Chris
tendon. In the non Christian nations
we see disntegration at work. In
Christian countries alone is the move
ment upward aud onward. Unloss the
individual attaches himself 10 this rem
ovsung force. lie is bound 10 share
that degeneration ana disntcgration
which is the natural end OF all things
THIS end would not come merely for
sins of commission. but rs the sim
pie penalty of neglect.
