REGULAR SUNDAY
SERVICES RESUMED.
EVANGELIST Froom Promises to be
Attentive to The Books OF Dan
ieI and Revelation.

Il warn you not to trifle with the
Spirit of God. To sin WilfuliE
against the pleadings of the Holy
Shirt until it has been grieved away
for the last time. is to commit the
objectionable sin" So said EVange-
list l.. E. Froom, at the Adventist
Chapel Sunday night, in sermon on
The Unpardonable Sin The regu-
lar Sunday evening addresses have
been resumed for the winter,and Mr..
Froom promises that special atten-
ton will be given to the great lines
of Bible prophecy, especially those
found in the books of Daniel and
Revelation.
In part, the speaker said:
The objectionable sin is the
unrepentable sin. He who perslS-
tently rejects the work OF the Holy
Spirit finally places himself where
repentance cannot come to MN.
When men wilfully reject the Holy
Spirit they cut off the only channel
by which God can communicate with
them, the mightiest agency that GOD
can bring to bear upon the human
heart. To be left without the
promptings of the Holy Spirit is to
be left without hope of heaven. Such
an one has crossed the dead line of
Gods grace.
THE Holy Spirit is the third per-
son of the Godhead, the true vicar
of Christ. He is not to be tempted,
nor grieved, nor lied to. The sin OF
Araneas and Sopphira tempted the
the Holy Spirit God smote them
with death on the spot as warning
| for all time to those who would sin
against the Holy Spirit.
God sends light to correct our
errors and to lead us into paths that
are pleasing to Him. 1t is by the
rejection of light that the eyes are
blinded and the heart hardened. 1t
| is thus that darkness increases, I'M
| til it is night in the soul. The work
| of the Holy Spirit is to 'reprove the
world of sin, John XVI, Z, 8. Ii
points out defects in the life, some
indulgence already condemned by
conscience, failure to honestly live
! up to the light we have, wilful DISC
| bedience to Gods law.
There is no substitute for surren-
der and obedience. 1t will not do TIC
give time, or money only. Thousands
are trying to thus silence conscience
We grieve the Spirit by cherishine
| some little sin in the heart. BE sure
your sin will find you out 1t can
| not be hidden. We may cover it fol
a time, but sometime it will rise III
and taunt us.
| 1T may seem small to us, bu1
how does God regard it? We may
entomb it in the heart where no NOR
tai eye can see it, but the eye Of
| God beholds it, and it will find u:
out sooner or later. Many wrecks
lie bleaching on the barren sands OF
| time because of a single sin. 1t has
| changed the whole course of life
and landed them at last on the hid
den rocks.
.'Sin> hardens the heart. Every
time we quench the voice of conscl-
ence, the heart is a little harder than
before. The fire burns DINNER. Con
science begins to sleep, and the voice
of the Spirit is not heard SO distinct
ly as before. We may turn a deaf
ear to the warning of an alarm clock
and finally fail to hear it at all.
Even thus may we persist in OBJ
stinacy and rebellion till the heart
becomes so hard that the impression
of the Spirit is no longer felt, and
we cannot be awakened. The con-
science becomes scared with hot
iron,' by persistently sighting hea-
ven's invitation to repent and turn.
Every step in rejection is step to-
ward the objectionable sin. When
the Spirit is finally rejected, there is
no more God can do for the soul.
There are people in this city, and
many of them are church members
who are on dangerous ground. Are
