TO explain Gospel

Bible Text Emphasized

MAKES PLEA
FOR HOLINESS

In Eastlake NJ. T.. Church yesterday
the Rev.. w. w. Sharp, pastor, preached
on the subject, "sin and It's Remedy"
using bottles TO illustrate his theme.
There were four Of these bottles, and
when exhibited at the beginning of the
sermon. each was half filled with water.
Mr. Shaps text was from Genesis /,
26th and 9th verses. and Genesis il,
9TH verse "ln these passages Mr..
Sharp said, "we have the nature OF
man. body. dust, soul and spirit" He
here called the attention to the four
bottles. and designated the bottles the
body and the water and spirit. Mr..
Sharp then said that man was created
in tho image of God, in righteousness
and true holiness. He showed that this
condition did not continue, and that sin
and Satan are in the world. Sin is de-
filing the soul and body, he said. The
preacher at this point exhibited bot
tie containing a colored liquid represent
ing sin. The vial was covered with
gilt and pictures. "Sin gilds itself" con-
tinuod Mr.. Sharp, referring to his bot
ties. "and makes itself attractive" AT
this point he lifted the gilded bottle,
and while holding it in full view of his
congregation, he said: "Sin waves it's
banner, blows its trumpets, claps its
cymbals, spreads its banquets and
makes itself as attractive as possible.
Contact with sin defles and pollutes."
The next step was to bring the or
namented vial containing a discolored
LIQUID IN contact with a bottle of pure
water A portion of the contents of the
bottle representing sin was emptied into
that containing water, and the latter
was also discolorcd The preacher
pointed out then how a sinner will al
feet a pure man, Just as the discolored
liquid had affected the pure water.
Mr.. Sharp next propounded the ques-
tion, "How shall man be reformed?' %
At the same time he picked mp the two
bottles containing discolored liquids, and
placed one among a bunch of flowers
which rested ON the pulpit, and asked
ii there was any change in the dis
colored water. Baptism, Mr.. Sharp
said. had been suggested as one way OF
reforming a sinner, and he then plunged
the bottle of discolored liquid into a
vessel of water. He pointed out the
fact that there was no change, and he
said that baptism is a blessed ordi-
nance. but it has no saving virtue, and
presupposes a repentance. Another sug-
gcstion for reformation. said Mr.. Sharp,
was profession OF Christianity. lie
labeled the bottle christian" but there
was no change in the color of its con-
tents. Another suggestion was death
and TO illustrate the point the preacher
broke the bottle. The stained liquiC
ran out into a vessel, and still there
was no change in its color.
"Nothing," continued Mr.. Sharp, "car
purify but the atomng blood of jesus
Christ"
