DECLARES SIN Is
SOURCE OF ALL ILLS
Rev. Hostetter Bases Discourse on
Healing of ParaIytic by Christ,
Who Was First Cieansed.

The fact that sin is the source Of
all our ills was brought out by Rev.
II. B. Hostetter, pastor of the West
minister Presbyterian church, Sunday
evening in his sermon on the theme,
The Helpless and Hopeless Received
by Redeeming Love" The discourse
was based on the healing of the para
lytic by Jesus.
AT first thought" said the speak
er. lit seems strange that the first
words addressed to the paralyzed man
concerned his sins and their forgive
ness. The man had come TO Jesus
for bodily healing. Why was il that
Christ said 10 him first of all Thy
sins are forgiven thee? Because the
Saviour with divine insight, looked
straight into and through the man.
He saw that with him as with every
one, the first great need is for de-
liverance from sin. Possibly the man
had lived a reckless life and his par
alysis had been brought about by his
designations. Jesus wanted to purify
the fountain that he might purify the
stream. Sin is the source Of all our
ills and when humanity is free from
sin il will be free from all its in
hrmities.
Jesus knew that to heal this man
and not TO save would be a calamity
and not a blessing. He would return
TO his sin again as the hog that is
washed returns 10 its wallowing in
the mire; and Jesus did for the needy
one more and better than he had
thought TO ask What has a man
profited if he gain the whole world
and lose his soul?
Another great truth comes TO US
from the passage-it is the mans per-
oL a. 4 Cd ~,
take up his bed and walk, he might
have answered impossible, 1 can't do
it. but he tried and he found, as
everybody Will find. that with every
command God sends 10 US. He always
sends the ability TO obey"
