 The Bibe cipariy indicates tlAt tht
 Adanic cUndemnatiuu against our race
 will be fully offset Dy the merit of
 Christ's sacrifice But on the othpr
 hand, it tells us that every transgrpS-
 sion which is not purely Qf inherite'i
 wea kneSs iS charged to the account ot
 the transgressor and must he met bt
 him. Jesus emphasizes this leSsoh
 saying. He that knew his Master \
 will and did it not shall be beaten
 with many stripes; but he that knew
 1t not and yet did things worthy of
 stripes. shall be beaten with few stripes Some of these stripes. ar punishments. Ninay indeed come to the tranSgreSSOr in the present life; aHd if so. he does well to profit by them.
 But whether in the present life or in the future life. every wiHuI tranSGreS- sion will receive "a just reconpenSp Ot reward" The difficulty with our thro- ries of the Dark Ages on this subject has not been that they taught pun; ishment for sin: but that they tangnt an unjust penalty, diShunoring to the Creator and stultfying to the believer.
 The Records of Wiful Sin.
 It is a fIistake to say that increasing sins would increase the pangs of con science and that thus each would isP punished. We know to the contrary that many. as they become Steepeo III sin, lose all senSibility St. Paul cor rOborates this thought. saying of So'np that their consciences become scared -callouSed
 God provided that each individual shall keep record in himself of his own moral obliqIIities. Each violation of conscience weakens the Character. Character weakened degraded can be reconstructed only with prupnrtiOnaie- ly great difficulty. Thus some. during the period of MesSiah's Kingdom. will be struggling against / weaknesses which they brought upon themselves. aside from those Uf Adamit heredity. Tbe assistance from the Royal Priest hood will be propOrtiOnate to the Adamic weakness, contrary to the hn man will. Outside temptations viii he gone. Full Knowledge will be there: hnt character will he the thing of para mount Importance as determining bo will attain everlasting life
 Our Redeemer gave suggestion along this line when He said to the Pharisees. "Hcw can ye Nescape the of Geheuna 7" lMatth.w xxii 33., The Valley of Hinnum Ctit I hennaI outside JeruSaiPIn, where Ire OfTal was finally destroyed. SyHlioi,'a ly represented the Second :lleutb. as explained in Revelation -xxs H.. Jesus did not condemn the Phari>ees t0 tpe Second Death. His miSsiun to lie world was not to cundeinn men: fur they were condemned already unier the Adamic condemnation. The Son If Man came mot to cOndrmn the world; but that the world thraunh | Him might Ee saved" (John iii. IT At the time He spoke these words rp ,pecting the PhariSees. He was iavinc i town His life on behalf of all the chit iren of Adam. They could not forfeit heir share in His resurrection work | lntil that work had been completed | md they had enjoyed their share ot | he Redeemer'S favor
 The import of the ttedeemer'S words therefore. was that He perceived in hem so much of dishonesty and hard less of heart that He prophpSied that hey would have hard tine tp reform haractef. even under the tavora bA of the Millennium.
