SINS NEVER TO BE FORGIVEN
Mark iii, 2O-35-JuIy Z.

Mark iii. 2O-35-July Z.
"This is the condemnation, that
light is come into the world and men
loved darkness rather than light, be-
cause their deeds were evil. - ohm
iii, 10.
John the Baptist declared of Jesus,
"He must increase, but / must de-
crease" After John was put into
prison Jesus ministry became more
public, through the numerous works
performed by Him. Multitudes fol-
lowed the Great Teacher, and His
friends became solicitous.
The scribes and pharisees consid-
cred themselves the representatives of
the Jewish orthodoxy, qualified to pass
upon everything theological; the pub
lie waited for their message, saying,
Have any of the scribes and phari-
sees believed on Him ~ Hence Jesus
declared that these representatives of
Divine things were doubly RESPONSE
BILE, for they would neither enter into
discipleship themselves, nor would
they permit the public to do so.
That Jesus did many miracles could
not be disputed, and that on many oc-
casions He cast out demons could not
be denied. The scribes explained this,
however, by saying that Jesus had
collision with Beelzebub (Satan), and
that by his power He was able to cast
out demons. But Jesus answered that
if it was true that Satan had turned
reformer and was opposing his own
that his kingdom would soon fall.
disappearing the Holy Spirit.
The fact that today many religious
systems practice faith healing is claim
ed to be a mark of Divine approval,
on the strength of our Lords words.
Yet we have in opposition to their as
sertions, to rem ember that those who
claim to exercise this power very gen.
orally deny the existence of the Cos
pei Of Christ. Some of them deny
that man is a sinner, and declare that
there is no such thing as sin. Prac-
tically all of them deny the redemp-
tive value of Christ's death. and that
He will come, again and establish His
kingdom and through it bring to man
kind the promised blessings of resti-
tuition to human perfectlon--ActS III,
1921.
There is only one answer to make
to the claim that these faith healings
prove the truth of these various an
taGonistic doctrines, and that answer
is the one which Jesus here states. If
their faith healing power be not of
God If must be of the Adversary; and
if it be of the Adversary it proves
that he is upholding false and con-
Trajectory doctrines. and that the col
lapse of his dominion is nigh. This
view is impressing itself upon Bible
students
Addressing the Pharisees, who
charged Him with being Satan's
prime minister and agent. Jesus de-
clared that all manner of sin and bias
pheny which men commit are forgiv-
able. except blasphemy against the
Holy Spirit.
Jesus did not say that the Scribes
and Pharisees had committed this sin;
He did however, give the warning re-
proof that those who could thus see the
of His teachings. how

In another sente<ce Jesus proves
His hostility to Satan by pointing
/ out that he had broken into the
strong mans (Satan's) house and
spoiled his goods. He was the master
and eternal foe of the evil one.
The objectionable Sin.
The Fascinating and fearsome sub
ject of the objectionable sin was
raised by Jesus in this connection.
Note that the teaching was delivered
against these religious leaders who
had charged Christ's good with being
evil. Says DR.. G. F. Maclear. 1.-THE
sin against which these words are a
terrible but mercifuI warning, IS not
so much an act, as a state of sin on
the part of one who in defiance OF
light and knowledge of set purpose re-
jects, and not only rejects but per :
severes in rejecting, the warnings OF
conscience, and the Grace of the Holy
Spirit; who, blinded by religious big
otry rather than ascribe a good work
to the Spirit of God prefer to ascr1be
it to the Spirit of Evil, and thus VIII
fully put bitter for sweet" and sweet
light for darkness
The Expositor's Bible makes the in
teresting point that the warning is
against blaSphemy, which Is pupllc,
Lange's words. Theology would have
been spared much trouble concerning
this passage, and anxious, timid souls
unSpeakable anguish, if men had ad-
hered strictly to Christ's own express
sion. For it is not a sin against the
Holy Ghost which is here spoken OF,
but blasphemy against the holy
Ghost
Here is nothing to alarm any
mourner whose contrition proves that
it has actually been possible to renew
him unto repentance. No penftent mas
ever yet been rejected for this guilt,
for no peniteAt has ever been thus
guilty"
The Real Socialism.
The discourse of the Teacher was
interrupted by the claims of members
of His family to special consideration
Perhaps they wanted recognition:
relatives commonly do more boast1ng
about a mans achievement than does
the man himself. This incident does
not show Jesus as disloyal to His fam

was one of solicitude for His mother!
but it proved His larger kinsh1p, his
devotion to the whole family of God

Jesus was more than the so-- of Mary;
He was "the Son of Man"
This occasion gave opportunity Tor
Jesus to express the teaching that was

The Bible teaches that the penalty of
Adams sin was death, but that under
Divine providence the work of Jesus
is to release all mankind from that

A very little thought along this line

The utterly honest person is not

prizes integrity of thought as of

CBY WILLIAM t. ELLIS.)

The social revolution about which
we hear so much would speedily come
to pass if men would simply practice
the cardinal Christian virtues. That
is Christ's programme for made-over
society. He would put into the indi-
vidual heart a new spirit which seeks
the good of others above the good of
self; which tells the truth fearlessly
and always; which is brave in heart
and loyal to honor; which patiently
practices honesty and sincerity in all
of life's dealings, and which, through
all and in spite of all, lives the life of
love. Imagine a world composed
wholly of such characters; would not
that be the new social order for which
we sigh?

Honesty is common, thank God, but
it is not as common as it one day will
be. We are making progr ess. The old
adage, Let the buyer beware" grows
every day less necessary. Our grand
fathers remember when every tranSac-

one price standard was scarcely
known. Now it is practically univer-
sal in the western world. Modern
business is built on a basis of honesty.
This is but one of many signs of the
