actual ~blenlishes or his flesh. IN otner
words, the Lord declares OF this class
that He will Judge them. not accord
ing to their fesh, but according to the
spirit OF their minds, the Intentions OF
their hearts and the efforts which
they will put forth In resisting sin and
In doing Gods will. This Robe OF
Righteousness will cover sins OF every
kind and degree, except wilful sins.
20 blessed thought!
o words with Heavenly comfort fraughti''
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 Is
spoken Of as being one OF works. Each
sinner will be encouraged and assisted
back to perfection along the lines Of
good works.
Assistance and strength OF character
will come to them day by day and year
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 In
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 q Sec
ond chance? We reply, No. None will
have a second chance for everlasting
life. BY nature we are all sinners, CON
demned to death. Our chance for life
at all Is through the Redeemer's sacri-
fee. He died for all. But only when
we accept the fact and come under Ills
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 it as
sured them by Jesus death, according
to the Divine promise. Those who do
not get their chance Of everlasting life
now will get it during the Millennium.
Sin a Transgression of Law.
Human laws are not always the
same as the Divine. though properly
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 man
are in accord with the Divine Law,
God seems to put justice in the very
highest place in His estimation Of sin,
while poor human judgment sometimes
gives it a very low place. For instance.
some will cry out vigorously and
.vengefully against immoral dances and
petty thievery, 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 lepers came to III Lord
praying for healing and were granted
their request, only n Of them re-
turned to thank the Savior; and Jesus
called attention to the fact. 1t well IL
Illustrates 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
ap~preciative as to come back and wor-
ship the Redeemer and offer Him his
services, 1t represents the fact that
only a small proportion Of humanity Is
properly appreciative of the blessing Of
forgiveness Of sins and healing there
from. The only one who was thankful
would well represent the class Of sim
ners who now constitute the true
Church, and who. realizing the Divine
arrangement for the forgiveness of sins.
come thankfully and offer the Lord
their little all to be used in His service.
The Exceeding great and precious
promises" Of Gods Word are given
only to the thankful and consecrated,
who have already presented themselves
living sacrifices to God. ITO you 1t is
given to know the mysteries Of the.
Kingdom" God hath revealed them
unto us by His Spirit" which is grant
ed only to the c~onsecrated. These prom
ises are to strengthen and nerve the
consecrated and to enable them to
overcome. In fulflment of their cove
