UNPARDONABLE SIN
HOW COMMITTED
Or. 5uIsin Preached Great serman
To Great Audience Composed
Largely of Men Last
Night.

DR.. Bulgin said last night by way
of introduction, that he would rather
preach forty sermons on other sub
jects than this one on THE Unpardon-
able Sin and How We May Commit 1t. :"
He said ri tremble with fear because
Of the danger for the one who com
mits it," He was very earnest to-
night, and there was not so much of
the humor that he has used hereto
fore; this was evidently an address
where humor had little place for the
arguments were of too grave nature
to need many illustrations to mark
their truth. But although this was
lacking, there was yet a stronger con-
Yiction of the many truths as each
subject was handled with his usual
positive proofs.
The text was taken from Isaiah, fifth
chapter and twentieth verse: ''Woe
unto them that call good evil and evil
good" Ten secondary texts were used
to demonstrate how the objectionable
sin might be committed and what it
really was.
God has warned people" he said
Not to trifle about the things of
heaven, until they have no power to
taste as it were, and confound dark
ness with light and light with dark
ness. He is driving home to the
hearts of men the consciousness of
that sin. AS some people are not big
enough to take an ATTRACT statement
and will not agree to an argument
when it has been proven to them they
must be as children and understand
the many teachings which are simple
and easy to comprehend, and where
there can be no mistake made. The
ignorant man sometimes will not be-
lieve because he cannot see God, when
we must admit Of many things that we
know exist although we have never
seen them. This is faith which takes
good evidence and bases its conclusion
on what is conceived rather than that
which is perceived SO it is when man
deals with immortality. Faith is the
substance of things hoped for and an
evidence of things not seen. Faith
puts substance into what he hopes for
and man must do this if he sees God.
God does not excuse ignorance and
holds a man blamable if he does not
believe. However, He would be
tyrant to demand thing and show no
way to accomplish it. But in, every
heart there are those sensibilities
which makes man reach out for God
at certain times in his life. There is
no one who can truthfully say he has
not felt this longing.
The man who constantly resists TINS
longing is tampering with conscience
and resisting God. Then Christ's great
love is resisted by this same method
of hardening the heart with sin, when
Hnally Iue lOllSihS VI Inc oONi
has been crying out so long for recog-
milton. leaves the life barren and
speaks no more. This is the Holy
Shirt which has come to stay and
abide with him and he has refused
this last one who has come to plead
and to invite. There is therefore no
hope for the man who has resisted
the Holy Ghost
Those who sin presumptuously ana
know that it Is sin, deliberately going
against the law Of God, cannot expect
to have forgiveness over and over for
the same thing. Playing pranks, as
the Jews did in the days of Moses,
when sacrifices were made until the
blood ran thick; they We're command
ed to spill no more blood for the same
sin again and again.
With the love and forgiveness OF
God there is also justice; for a sinner
does not break the law of God. but
breaks himself over the law. God is
so Just that on the judgment day the
sinner will have to admit that He is
