1t was on Fifth avenue. A sister of

seraphic expression, was gliding
along the street with the swift. silent

nor left. and her face was one of se-

A frowsy boy with bundle of dirty
newspapers under his arm appealed
to her. first to buy paper, then to
give him money to ''get something to

EPwoRTH LEAGUE MEETING TOPICS.
June 2. Now to Get Rid of Sin. John L,
5-l0

This is the burden of the whole
Bible. The Scriptures were given for
the express purpose of showing man
how to save his soul 1t Is also the
question of the ages. When we get
down to the bottom question of all
the PHILOSOPHERS 1t amounts to about
this: How shall man get rid OF sin.
What Is Sin n?-The Scriptures have
many terms for sin, depending on the
point of view of the individual writer,
or the particular form of evil upper
most in the writer's mind In one
place sin is defined as transgression
of the law, but it Is clear that this was
not intended to be a comprehensive
definition. Sometimes it is referred
to as wickedness, iniquity, wrong
doing, blasphemy. rebellion.
1t must be seen by the most ordi-
nary reader of the Bible. and the most
casual observer of human nature, that
the essence of sin Is not in any out
ward act at ALL but has to do rather
with the inner-life of the individual.
In n sense all transgresslons of the
law of God is sin. But it is clear that
God does not hold anyone guilty of
wrongdoing who either Is not respon-
sible for his act or is justlfiably ig-
norant of Gods will. Our LORD. in his
Interpretation of the Ten Command
ments. clearly showed that their vio-
lation lay in the thoughts and intents
of the heart.
Deliverance from Sin.-It must be
seen that to be delivered from sin 1t is
not enough to be helped to do what
appears to be right things. Our Lord
did say that by their fruits ye shall
know them. But not all that appears
to be fruit has the right taste. There
may be the appearance without the
reallty-an attractive exterior. but
wanting in all the qualities for which
fruit is used. Dellverance from sin
involves the absolute turning of the
tide of life-the choice of God as the
supreme object of trust and service.
To bring this about requires the CO.
operation Of both man and God Man
has his part: God has his.
''If we confess our sins, he Is faith
full and just to forgive us our sins.
and to cleanse us from all unrighteous-
ness" True confession means some
thing more than the mere acknowledge
ment that we are sinners.
1t may be said truthfully that there
Is no true repentance without the
turning away from sin.
