Sin Against God.


There is another sphere that In
these days needs notice. Harry Mon
roe, the man who in years long gone,
knew the depths of sin, but who for
thirty years at the Pacific Garden
Mission In Chicago has been the
means of leading hundreds of sinful
men and women to God said to the
writer of these words only a few days
ago: 1T is not hard to get men and
women to raise their hands. and TO
stand up and go forward to the altar
but that is not enough, the trouble
is. there is not enough conviction of
SIM" and he quoted the words of
David, Against thee. thee only have
| sinned" One of the greatest diff.
f1culties that workers for God have TO
meet is to get men and women to get
hold of the idea of God A mans
moral degradation may be acknowl-
edged with very little thought of God
Even ones sins against others may
be conceded with very little or no
thought of God. and there are many
men and women who are faithful to
their dependents who do not know
God. But in deeper thinking on sin
practically everything is lost if God
is left out. There is no proper ap-
prehension of sin until God is brought
into the foreground. The man. readily
says: Yes, | have sinned against
myself. and | have sinned against so
ciety." but when asked If he has
sinncd against God he is dazed. and
is silent II the man who acknOwl-
edges sins against himself and So
ciety, would only think little, he
would ask the question. who estab
lishe1 the law that enforced these re.
sults?" he will soon come to the
place where he must acknowledge
God. and If he does so, the solution
of the problem of his sin is at hand
David was near that solution when
! he said: 81 acknowledge my trans
/ gressions. and my sin is ever before
/ me. Against thee, thee only have
sinned. and done this evil in thy
/ sight" Job was near il when he said /.
| behold. / am vile; what shall | an
] SWeF lutt. W III LAY NY manu- upp4i
my mouth" When the prodisal echo d
/ the words of David, he was near the
same blessing The cry: God BE-
merciful to me a sinner" comes out
of a clear recognition of God. No
one can confess his sin and forsakc
It without acknowledgment of God
This is properly called conviction OF
sin. It is not produced by trial in q
court Of Justice. nor is it the result
of carrying an abstract proposition
to IT'S logical conclusion. but to a
sense Of personal wrong doing in the
sight of God A great evangelical
teacher OF the last century said tha
conviction of sin involves a sense o
wrong doing, distress in view OF the
past and an apprehension in view o
what Is to come. How much Of thu
conviction of the present day contains
these elements?

CLAIMED STATE SUFFERS
Reduction in Standard Set by Law for
Cream Is Also 10 Be Urged in
Resolutions.

At tomorrow's session of the Rock
Island County Farmers institute w.
Il. Strayer will introduce a resolution
calling upon Governor Dunno to life
the quarantine against dairy cattle
from other states, the repeating by the
legislature of ali laws providing for a
tuberculin test OF dairy cattle and the
reduction OF the standard of cream sold
in the market from IS to Is per cent
of butter fat.
Alr. Strayer claims that the state of
Illinois, with an embargo upon the
importation of dairy cattle from all
surrounding states. is slowly but sure
~ destroying its dairying industry. the
tendency of regulatory laws being in
the same direction. With the decline
of dairying. it is pointed out. the farm
er is compelled more and more to.de-
pend upon grain farming and other
practices which tend 10 impoverish the
soil. Thus the result of legislation and
quarantine upon the dairying industry
not only raises the price of milk and
prevents many from using it but il
also has a direct bearing upon the
problem OF permanent soil fertility. one

Mr.. Strayer points out that a number

What Law Requires.
The law requires three per cent of !
butter fat in milk which is sold. while I
there must be Is per cent in cream.
II is claimed that the cream standard /
Is so high that the profit in cream pro-
duction has been squeezed out and
many dairymen who formerly supplied
this product for the cities in this
county are going out OF business.

claim that the weights were changed.
