The Gospel Respecting the Plague.
The Gospel has a special Message to
every one smitten with the white
plague or the black plague, or any
other of the hundreds of forms OF
death. That Message is that the pres
ent life is but transitory, vestbule to
a more glorious life, an anteroom OF
instruction, preparatory to entering the
life which God has provided for all of
our race who are willing to accept 1t
on His terms through the merit of
Christ's sacrifice
The broad Message of the Gospel
while it has only one offer in the pres
| ent time, assures us of q future oppor-
tunity for all Those who now accept
| the grace of God have the great privi-
lege of becoming members OF the
| Church in Glory Others have the as
surance that there will be resurrec-
| ton, not only of the just, but also of
| the unjust and that this signifies an
| opportunity of rising up out Of sin and
death conditions to human perfection
But even to attain that blessing would
mean to attain an earthly instead of
Heavenly Inheritance.
Moreover, that blessed opportunity of
| attaining eternal life and earthly per
| lection will not mean an escape from
the penalty of wilful sins of the pres
ent life. 1t is a part of the Divine
| Law that whoever sins shall suffer;
| and that whatsoever a man soweth,
/ that shall he also reap" But those

hope to accomplish great results, it is
our duty to do our best in opposing

All should know that this dreadful
disease. which literally burns up the
vitality of the patient. is highly con-

discharges contain the elements Of dis

Discharges from the head should pref

burned in the fire before becoming
dry. When dry, the dust carries the
Infection to whoever may breathe it,
This also reminds us that sin is like
disease. 1t is contagious. Every sin
ner, therefore, who realizes his condi-
ton. will strive against communicating
others. Indeed. who does not know
that the impression made by words
may do far more harm in the hearts
and minds of others than all the flesh

how careful we should be that evil
coming into our minds should be put
away. that we do not spread the con

be careful to avoid spreading the con-
tagious physical ailments; and thus
