Rev. Bailey, Spoke on the Sin of the
First Mother and of It's Result.

| And she gave unto her husband
| and he did eat was chosen by DR..
| Bailey as the text of an interesting
discourse on the evils and their re-
suits to the family created to inhabi
| this earth. What" said the speaker,
| would have been the result If the
| Lord had not forbidden the eating of
the fruit? What would be the re-
suits today If no limit were placed
on the indulgence of the appetites
and senses? without this moral cir
transcription there would be no de-
velopment of moral character. This
| is true of the physical and spiritual
as we'll as the moral, we strengthen
ourselves and our bodies by the pow
er of resistance.
There must be limit to the sem
sual appetite. Food is necessary to
| every one, but If we go beyond the
required amount 1t destroys; so 1t
is with all the senses, we must be
temperate in all things or it brings
destruction.
when our first mother ate of the
forbidden fruit, this was the dawn of
| guilt and the beginning of sin which
ended all innocence; it was the going
over into that everlasting darkness Of
sin into which all are plunged from
birth.
Ewes first sin made her a con-
spirator, so does sin make us con.
spirators with the evil one; we are
not contented to sin alone, but must
have company that the thought o'
others guilt may stine our COnsci'
ences with self justification, and sc
| become doubly guilty. This is the
1 danger of one who sins against God
the sinner becomes the tempter.
I "The second result of the mother
. sin is the consequences toward tn
= family. The mother is the queen o
: the home, and to it she gives the char
9 acter standard, whether for good o
\ evil. What a terrible thing II Is whe,
I the mother is tempted and falls. thu
s tearing down that standard for good
4 Sometimes child falls and take
I down the parents with him; but hoS
| much better 1t is for the prodigal I
return and find the standard still he'll
as high by those faithful parents.
THE third consequence of sin
the influence of the action. We ar
4 not able to guage the distance thI
influence may reach, for the inhat
itants of this Garth are so linked to
q gethcr and closely connected that tn
y influence of the least action may b
felt in the rcmotest places. 1t Is tn
q violation of the law woftemperance tina
|, has spoiled the race, and those VIII
y thus sin bring down with them dos
ems of others who have felt their In
fluencc.
There Is only one remedy for a
!, this" said the speaker, "sin came
" and poisoned the channels of life
Christ came as a purifier and by OF
: cooperation with him we may be abl
u to resist the temptation of life, thu
5 making our influence be for goo
u rather than for evil"
