only reason why God should favor
him.
There's a Wilderness in Gods Mercy"
This does not signify that God is
merc1less, but that, having provided a
way by which He will exercise Mercy,
He rarely exercises it outside of that
channel The channel of Gods Mercy
is Christ Jesus, who declared. NO
man cometh unto the Father but by
Me" st. Peter substantiates this
statement. See Acts Alp. The Scrip
lures clearly teach that none were
saved until Jesus died. This is the
key which unlocks the wonders of
Gods grace even though to some the
statement may seem astounding
We should rid ourselves of the
thought that the holy men of the past
went to Heaven. and the remainder of
mankind to eternal torture. The Bible
most distinctly declares that ALL both
good and bad slept with their ia

time when Abraham's Seed Galatians

quently they cannot reach everlasting
life until the Spiritual Seed of Abraham

attested that they had not gone to
Heaven, saying. mo man hath ascended
up to Heaven.'-John 3:13.
Hope for the SOdomites.
The hope for the Sodomites is ex-
actly the same as that for the remain
der of mankind. The hope of the world
is the Messianic Kingdom, and the de-
liVerance from sin and death which it
will effect. The basis of hope for both
Church and world is the one sacrifice
at Calvary.
Jesus declares that it will be more
tolera BILE for Sodom and Gomorrah in
the Judgment Day the thousand years
of His reign than for those of His
day who rejected Him. This clearly
shows that the fate of the Sodomites
is not sealed. We also find abunda Mt
testimony in Ezekiel 16:46-63 that the
Sodomites will be awakened from
death. and brought to knowledge of
God and to an opportunity of obtaining
human perfection and ever1a sting life,

built its confidence, should suddenly
have failed them. Those of us who

1t is hard for Broadway to get the
viewpoint of the church. Spiritual
things are spiritually discerned." The
worst of spiritual deafness and a sure
proof of its ripenesS for destruction. IS
that it does not know that it is dea6.

Escape to the Mountain
Even Lot needed the encouraging
hand of his heavenly visitors to get
him out of Sodom in time. Repeatedly
they bade him escape for his life, and
their last cry was. Escape to the
mountain lest thou be consumed" Not
to another city in the plain was he to
go. Lot should have learned the city
lesson by this time Instead of the
dangerous atmosphere of the plain he
should flee to the East to the windy
heights of Pisgah, where Moses later
stood to view the land.
The way of salvation is the call to the
heights. 1t is getting above the Sodom
and the sin level They who heed the
call of ChriSt'S MESA geS seek the high
of the spirit sweep. Life in this loftier
altitude escapes the enervating tend
encies of the plains. Salvation is found

Looking Back.
Mrs. Lots heart turned back to So
dom before ever her eyes looked back.
Her desire remained in the city: there
fore she missed deliverance. She is the
eternal example of the person who
wants Christ and the world also. She
stands for those who are not willing to
burn bridges behind them and go all
the way into the new eternal spiritual
life. Given her choice. Lots wife would
probably have elected to camp ON the
outskirts of the city until the trouble
was over, returning at the first oppor-
tunity.
In the new moral crisis of our times,
need is for salty saints who leaven life.
Not the conformers. but the trans
formers are the potent forces in the
midst of this world. They who hear
for righteousness. even until
they are called upon to bear the ultl-
mate testimony against sin, are not
only the best friends of God. but they
are also the best friends of the world

If man obeyed conscience as king,
he would need no king but con-
science.
Happinness is not in things. Thdt
is one of the profoundest truths of life,
The child who cries for painted toy

a million dollars are both alike on the
wrong scent. Nobody was ever MADE
fully content with life by the mere
possession of material things. All the
philosophers and poets and preachers
unite in proclaiming that the springs
of happiness are within the human
breast The only truly blessed person
is he who has "a conscience void of
offense'' Outward condition can
bring no happiness if inner peace be
lacking.
Conscience is not the last word IN
duty. There is Supreme Court to
which its decisions may be appealed.
For conscience is limited by Its en-
ightenment. There are persons VINO
conscientiously believe that they are
justified in taking human life if their
"honor'-ag gain matter of 1nterpre-
tation by private caprice-is touched.
The law of the land says that the prl.
vate conscience is no proper Judge OF
such matters A man who kills an
other except in self defense, is a muir
derer. In a multitude of particulars,
ranging from the cannibalism or Al
RIGA, to the outlawry of high hnance'
ones conscience may be undeVelopeo'
and therefore an inadequate guide
The supreme court which reviews the
decisions of conscience is the law OF
God. The final measure of man

science and clear Scripture CLASH tneh
conscience must give way to the d.
vine law
They who follow the clearest light
they have are led into more light
cropping souls are not left in dark
ness. The prayer of childhood is edu-
cationaI: Lord, show me myself;
Lord. show me myself" God does
illuminate the conscience which seeks
to know his will. AS the saying OF
Rabia has it:
who comes an inch to God through
doubtings dim,
In blazing light. God will advance a
mile to him.
A clear conscience is an unclouded
title to life.
A good conscience is the surest

That kingdom is happy whose king

We share her wretched crust,
