the result of Ovrrtaxed nerves; some
times the disease is Inherited from an
ceStral causes; so mHddenng jealousy
has Il direct cause. That spiritual dag
noSis can be spelled in The one fearful
Nsrd Of three letters. It's only cause is
sin The same kind of sin which to-
day fills our jails and rcformatory in
situations and lifts the liangman's
moose is the ticndish. rnaddening evil
against which, in his day. King Solo
mon lifted his voice in protest
Now, my brother. as the insanity of
jealousy is caused by sin. will YOU not
come to that Christ who is willing and
able to take this sin out OF your life?
In the Bible we read that Christ was
and is able to make the evil passions
come out of man. So great was and
is ct ivin in,
spect that Luke tells us there was a
man afilcteS not only with one but
with legion or four thousand. devils.
This man was so goaded by shis De
moniac possession that, though lie was
bound in letters of chains he would
snap them as easily as lion might
brush aside a spiders web. He was so
distracted that in his frenzy he would
tear off all his clothes. But when jeans
spoke the word of deliverance the man
who was once insane Immediately be-
came clothed and in his right mind. Ii
Christ could do all that for the insane
man of old, will you not let Jesus cure
you also of the awful insanity of jeaI-
ousy? Oh, my sinful friend. you have
hated men and despised men and found
fault with men long enough. Will you
not, here and now. by Christ's help,
learn to love men and try to help men
instead of trying to destroy them?
BY the noble example of Christ's life
today may we be led to exterminate
the awful sin of jealousy. Some years
ago a New York public school teacher,
whose scholars were mostly drawn
from the slums. carried into her class
room a beautiful white lily One of
her pupils was poor Waif of the
street. Her clothes were soilel ana
torn. Her hands and face We're dirty
The teacher thought she would please
this poor child by giving to her the
beautiful flower but instead of taking
it the young girl turned and ran out of
the room. A little later she came back
with her face and hands washed and
then said: Teacher | am clean now.
Give me the beautiful flower" SO the
sense Of moral pollution often makes
men shrink from accepting the gift God
is Offering in the person of his Son; but
it is because of that very pollution that
he presses his gift upon us. We can
not cleanse ourselves. but we can pray
that he will cleanse us and make us fit
to receive him who is the Lily of the
Valley, the One altogether lovely"
