Imam TEMPTED IN EDEN,

By Rev. o. r. jerks.
The first picture the Bible gives of
man is where he is innocent in para
disc and at peace with God. The next
picture is where he is driven out of
Eden and is a sinner and a wanderer
on earth. The other day saw a
building with the chimney knocked
down. the windows broken and the
sides and the roof smashed in. l knew
without being told that something had
happened TO that building.
Look at man. In paradise you see
him ma lie in the image and likeness of
God. Look at him now. with his IN
temperance. RIGHTEOUSNESS and cruelty.
There are whole districts stepped in
blood and wholesale massacres until
in many places earth is no longer a
paradise, but kingdom Of the devil
Look at the sensualist with his swim
ish look. the puppet with his powdered
and painted face. the drunkard with
his seedy clothing and bloodshot eyes.
the murderer. U'bo has converted him
self tito a monster of iniquity, and no
one need tell you that something has
happened TO man
Another question that we meet with
IS this: why did not God MAKE man
that could not sin?" The Almighty
has made some creatures that cannot
sin. S'te cog eannotsin The monkey
cannot sin. If tiger gets loose and
derours your child you shoot the tiger,
but Won do not brand him as a sinner.
He does not sin because he ate UP
your child. for he was made that way
Le4 God make man who could nos
sin and be w.uId no longer be man.

CHURCH FOLK CowARDs.

ny KEY. X. a. fOFTey,
Most of the people In Chicago are
towards. The majority " persons in
this church and in every church in the
city are towards. Why? Because they
are afraid to confess TO the world that
they believe IN Jesus Christ
The true hero Is he who expresses
his beliefs without fear of the conse-
quences. he who declares his faith in
Christ without stopping to think
whether 1t will hurt him in society, pol
tiles or the business world.
Every man and woman admires a
hero and despises coward. Acts Of
bravery have been applauded in all
countries and in all times and acts of
cowardice have been Kissed. This,
however, applies TO physical courage,
and not TO that high moral strength
that makes man do right for rights
sake. that makes him speak the truth
at whatever cost.
1t is not easy for a man to stand on
the firing line all day long, unfiinch-
ingly facing shot and shell, enduring
hunger and thirst and the pain of
wounds, but it is easier TO do that than
to stand the fire of public opinion and
suffer the scorn of his fellow men in
living the life his religion teaches and
in following the dictates Of his con-
science.
Nest Of the people in Chicago to-day
are towards moral towards. Most of
you in this congregation are in the
same class. Doubtless in your hearts
you believe in Christ, but how many
of you have the courage 10 confess
your faith to the world2
The Apostle Paul was the kind of
hero wish you to be. He was abused.
scourged and stoned, and still he was
outspoken for Jesus. Nothing could
daunt his courage.
What this polite world of to-day
needs is Paulean spirit TO Offset the
influence Of society's frivolity, business
schemes and political intrigues-infiu
ences that make towards out Of heroes.
