they shall eat it," God had said
"when | see the blood ! will pass
over you" The people believed
it, and God kept his word, as He
always does both in relation to
salvation and retribution.
The application.
"God so loved the world that He
gave His only begotten son, that
whosoever believeth in Him
should not perish but have ever
lasting life" The Lord Jesus
Christ having shed His blood,
made thereby a perfect atonement
for sin and also entered into the
presence of God with it where God
now sees it. This is the sure and
only ground of peace for the be-
lever. The work of Christ as a
substitute is an absolute complete
work. He put sin away by meet
ing the divine requirement. "The
soul that sinneth it shall die and
without shedding Of blood there is
no remission Of Gin. He has made
sin for us who knew no Sin, that
we might be made the righteous
ness Of God" He died and ex-
hausted ths penalty of death.
Warning-But only for those that
believe. Do you believe it?
The discourse OF Rev. c. L. Brown
ing at the Methodist church yesterday
was replete with good things and was
attentively listened 10 by large
audience. The minister spoke upon
"Home-Its Uses and Abuses" The
publication Of the entire sermon
would make excellent reading, but
unfortunately it is impossible at this
time for The Chleftain to present il.
An7ong other things the pastor stated /
that the subject relates TO the state
OF mans purity and the provisions
which God made for his happiness.
TO look into some Of the homes in
which He now lives obviates the
necessity of reading the story of the
fall, for it is written indelibly in the
homes Of our people.
In the full age OF Christianity this
lost garden will be re-dscovered its
flowers and fruits will be replanted,
and its health.giying conditions will
again be enjoyed. God will walk
again in the shade Of its bowers, and
talk again TO its redeemed inhabit-
ants. The establishment Of its
purity and fruitfuluess will be the
finding OF the lost key which will I'M
lock the door Of human perfection.
1T is estimated that ninety per
cent Of the effective Christian workers
in the church today have the impress
Of a Christian home behind their
lives. What responsibility then
must rest upon the homes of our
country. For parent to be indiiier-
ant about the influence of his life
upon the home is an evidence that he
is totally Indifferent TO the highest
interests Of life.
Looking into the garden Of Eden
10 find the original image Of what the
home ought 20 be, we mention as ele-
nents which euter into the divine !
deal. First-The home should be a !
Christian home. Both the man and
he woman should be pure in the signt
If God. This is the supreme condi-
lion OF happy home. Its the magic
wand which transforms the scanty
little hut into a palace and converts
he desert into garden Of roses. The
Durity Of home depends upon the pur-
" Of parental life. Pdrenthcod is c
blessed or cursed 5y the harvest gath c
red from seeds sown in the lives OF il
heir children. I
''Second-The home should be in
elligent. 1t should be the nursery Of Il
life and power. 1t is the b
deal place for the creation OF an in D
ellectual appetite 10 the minds Of c
9th parents aud children. Books are a
heap as dirt and yet they are more O
aluable than gold. q
"Third-the home should be pleasant O
