IA AN is far from God because of sin.
Ivt When God created man in His
own image ii was for His (God's)
glory, and the purpose was thai the rela-
tionship between the Creator and the
created should be close and intimate.
Before sin entered into the world, God
came and walked in sweet fellowship
with Adam in the garden, but when
man by his own choice ~diSobeyed God,
sin entered into the world, and separa-
ton from God by reason of sin. The ex-
pulsion from the garden-the place
where God had walked arm in arm with
man and communed with him-the shut
ting of the gate against him and the
placing of the guard of cherubims and
the flaming sword to keep the way of the
tree of life, all typify the awful fact of
separation from God by reason of sin.
Mar h%encefOrth was far from God. Sin
was the awful barrier which rose between
the holy, pure and righteous God, and
man. There are three facts in regard to
sin which must be emphasized: Gods
hatred OF sin, the certain punishment
of sin, and Gods unchanged and I'M
changeable attitude towards sin. 1t is
as impossible for sin to abide in the
presence of God as it is for darkness to
come into the flooding light of the glo-
rious sun. There is nc sin in Heaven,
not even the most infinitesimal faint or
speck of sin, for Goo is there. This
marks the chief difference between earth
and Heaven. Sin is in the earth, but
there is no sin in Heaven. 1t is abso-
lutely impossible for it to gain entrance
there. And every soul that goes from
earth to Heaven must be cleansed and
purified from all sin before it can enter
there.

God has altered His decree.
Sin cannot escape the %devouring wrath of
God any more than Sodom and Gomor-

The Tupelo journal., 1904-01-29

JESUS felt the agony of that separa-
ton from God as He hung on the
cross and became sin for us. The
Intense mental suffering of that hour is
indicated by the broken-hearted cry of
Jesus: "My God, my God, why hast
Thou forsaken Me?" AS the weight of
the worlds sin rolled upon His sinless
shoulders, God turned from Him. Did
you ever try to understand what those
words, HE became sin for u.s." mean?
Did you ever realize that in the instant
that the sinless Christ became sin for
us in that instant God. His Father,
turned from Him, for God hates sin, He
cannot permit it in His presence? Jesus,
the sinless a the Son of God. the one
who perfectly kept the law of God and
was entitled to entrance to Heaven, sepa-
rated from God, because of the sin He
was carrying for you and me, and bear
ing the punishment of that sin in His
death, in order that we might not know
the awfulness of final and eternal separa-
ton from God, but might be brought
back to fellowship with God and a place
with Him in Heaven. Jesus knew what
separation from God meant in order that
we might never have to know the awful
ness of that experience. We know what
Gods Word tells us of it. That it means
darkness. and awful agony. and weeping
and %gnashing Of teeth; that it means hell
and hell's torment. But, blessed be Cod
we do not have to know by actual ex-
|perience. Jesus has become sin for us.
He suffered death on the cross and paid
the penalty once and for all for sin, and
now. in Christ Jesus, we who sometimes
were far off are made nigh by the blood

1t is a blood washed throng, whose gar

membership. 1t is not family connec-

that argument with Jesus, but because
they were of the seed of Abraham did
not insure their salvation. 1t is not good

Britain has been entered by Rev. Raw

Consul Mahin, at Nottingham, England
IN a recent report. A table submitted bv
DR.. Burns shows q decrease in the pro
duction of Intoxicating liquors of aboue
100000 in 1903, as compared with
1902. He suggests no reason for this de
cline, but adds that as business in nearly
all lines was very dull during the year.
as the number Of people ont Of work was
greater than in 1902, and as the drink
habit is most prevalent among wage earn
ers, it is not unfair to surmise that the
decreased consumption of liquors may
have been involuntary.

that Ireland consumes per head slightly
