WHERE SIN CAME FROM

An oklahoma city minister of the
gospel has told his audience that Ii
makes no difference where sin came
from-whether II was from the fall Of
Adam or was inherent In man from
the beginning There are those who
think it would be far better II Adnm
could be given clean hill NJ health
and the responsibility for our own
shortcomings placed upon our own
shoulders.
Too Long have we louded our first
ancestor down with the slus that are
our own We have been led to believe
that Adam tainted human nature with
desire to do wrong. Adam lived u
good many years ago, according 10 the
best authority ohtninable mud there
has been plenty Of time for the tnlut
to have been cradicated
Getting down To plain facts every
man is responsible In great meas.
ure for his own conduct He cannot
hold Adam for It when he drinks to
excess, for that ancient gentleman was
not addicted TO the habit. Adam did
not cheat and lie and steal lie was
a spotlcss man compared to some Of
his descendants.
We should hear less about the sin
Of Adam and more about our own mis-.
guided lives The preacher who Is
