I'D. we find particular reason why It
was not only advisable but necessary that
this law OF heredity should operate in
train terrible list OF experiences to our
race. The reason for this Is based upon
one element OF the Divine character
!ostice-the very element which at one
tifne we supposed was violated by shis
IA" OF heredity. AS our eyes open 20 the
teaching OF the Scriptures we perceIy,
tnat u God had not permitted his inw
OF heredity to operate: but had per-
come forth to perfection and TO stand
an Individual trial such as father Adam
was subject to. It would doubtless
have meant that at least one half of
the race, possibly more, would have
deliberately chosen a course of sin as
father Adams chose II. To expect more
than one-half 10 be obedient would be
unreasonable. Rather. from what We
SEQ about us In the experiences OF life
we would have been liable TO conclude
mat only a verv small majority, yer
haps one tenth, wound have been obe-
cient to God. while the remaining nine
tenths would have been disobedisrt
Some might ask, Would not even
that have been better than the Divine
arrangement as we see It operating
now. that the whole race should suf-

in one-Redeemed by One
The great economic law is connected
with the divine arrangement: The con-
1emnation Of a race In one mans loins
because OF his transgression made pos
sihle the divine arrangement that n sec
md man should pay the penalty for the
first and redeem both him and all who
were In him at at the time of his con-
lemnatlon. This is a once a demonstra-
ion OF divine wisdom and Of divine jus
tice. Suppose, for instance. that the
aw of heredty had not prevailed had
lot been instituted by our Lord but
hat each individual had come forth per-
'ect and had been personally placed on
