 "Though Your Sins Be Scarlet" The Lord used crimson and scarlet as indicative of the most fragrant sins. and then declared that His arrange ment for the forgiveness of sins through the great Redeemer is effec tive even for the very worst sins. Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool" Qsaiah 1:18) This is an as surance for us. God knows that all of Adams children were born with the hereditary taint of sin. prone to sin as are the sparks that fly upward" He is such conditions: all must have help. and the Savior whom God has pre- pared is qualified to give help to all. \ The help given to the special class that Is in process of selection during this Gospel Age is in the Scriptures fguratively represented as the Robe of Christ's righteousness. covering each of the sinners. and thus hiding the actual blemishes of his flesh. Tn other words. the Lord declares of this class that He will judge them. not accord ing to their flesh. but according to the spirit of their minds, the intentions of 1 their hearts and the efforts which they will put forth in resisting sin and in doing Gods will. This Robe of I Righteousness will cover sins of every kind and degree. except wilful sins. | 70 blessed thought!
 O words with Heavenly comfort fraught!
 The arrangement for the sins of the world, to be carried out in the future will similarly be ample. though differ ent. The worlds sins will not be covered. nor will the world be dealt with merely according to their minds and hearts. The worlds salvation ls spoken of as being one of works. Each
 
 back to perfection along the lines of good works.
 Assistance and strength of character will come to them day by day and year 1, by year until before the Millennium will have ended. all the willing and obedient will have become perfect. mentally, morally and physically. They will have attained the image and like ness of God. lost by Father Adam iD Eden; and with this perfection will come their right to human life. forfeit ed by Adam and redeemed by Jesus. But some one may say. Ii mankind are to have an opportunity during the Millennial Age will that not be a sec Ond chance? We reply. No. None will have second chance for everlasting life. By nature we ure all sinners. con demned to death. Our chanre for life at all Is through the Redeemer's sacri- flee. He died for all. But only when we accept the fact and come under His direction as His disciples. do we obtain our share.
 Since Jesus accepts as His disciples during this Age only such as cOnse crate. or sacrifice. their lives to the do ing of Gods will. only they get the benefit of the Redeemer's sacrifice dur ing the present life Those who do not get that benefit now still have 1t as sured them by Jesus death, according to the Divine promise. Those who do | not get their chance of everlasting life | now will get 1t during the Millennium
 Sin a Transgression of Law.
 Human laws are not always the | same as the Divine. though properly 1 intended so to be- Thus the Lord in | forms us that some who are highly es | teemed among men, and approved by | human standards, are an abominatiOn | in the sight of God. Contrariwise sometimes things disapproved by mar are in accord with the Divine Law. 1 God seems to put justice in the very | highest place in His estimation of sin while poor human judgment sometimes l gives 1t very low place. For instance. t some will cry out vigorously and yengefully against immoral dances ana petty thieyery, who would not hesitate to join in a Trust intended to deprive thousands of fellow creatures of their share of the blessings of our day. In the eyes of human Judgment these would be esteemed noble examples: while in the sight of Divine Justice. We believe. they would rank as very vi ciOuS and criminal
 Ten Cieansed-but One Thankful.
 When ten eperS came to our Lord praying for healing and were granted their request. only one of them re turned to thank the Savior: and Jesus called attention to the fact. It well il lustrates the difference between the two classes of the saved. The entire ten lepers would we'll represent the world of mankind in sin. All would be glad to be relieved of the leprosy of sin and to be holy and happy.
 But as only one of the ten was so appreciative as to come back and wOr ship the Redeemer and offer Him his l( services. it represents the fact that II only a small proportion of humanity is appreciative of the blessing of
