When committing sins in this world
1t is possible often to keep them en-
tirely hidden, but not so when we
stand before God. All must then be
exposed. 1t is even possible that the

The Bible says "The wages Of sin is
death" and the Bible speaks truly.
There is only one way, then, to get the
best of sin, and hat is through the
cleansing power of the blood of Christ.
He is the only physician capable of
treating the disease of sin. He knows
the remedy, and his remedy never
fails. even on the worst cases. Christ
never loses a case." All we need to do

Tuesday Afternoon.

An audience Of about rs, with a
choir of about 25 braved the rainy
weather yesterday afternoon to hear
an interesting explanatory Bible read
ing by Bob Jones. Mr.. Jones said
that the first espistle of John contain
ed many wonderful truths for con-
verts. What the people of today need
to do Is to read Gods word more, and
take just what it says. Bible students
today agree ON this.
The book of John is written to
Christians on the subject of fellow
ship" Jesus Christ bore the sins of
the world and IL we accept Him,
will bring us into fellowship with God.
However. we cannot say II know God
IT we go ahead breaking his com
mandments, because, once we know

Wednesday Afternoon.

Mr.. Jones gave an interesting talk
yesterday afternoon on the subject of
Regeneration" or, more particularly.
the evidences of regeneration. The
service was we'll attended, although
bad looking clouds doubtless kept
many away.
Mr.. Jones said that John teaches us
throughout his epistle that the new
and Divine nature which we have,
after coming into the fellowship Of
Christ, Is very widely different from
the old nature. This evidences itself
in a number of ways; we do not care
for worldly things, We seek the COM
pany Of other Christians, and best of
all we love Gods word and seek often
its promises.
While receiving, at the time we
accept Christ, a new nature, still we
cannot expect to De entirely tree of
Ole desires, without a fight. The apos-
tie Paul in his first epistle tells us
something Of his fight, and in the Sec
ond book shows how he mastered the
old passions and lived in the full en-
Joyment Of an ideal spiritual life.
Having secured the fellowship of Jesus
it is natural that we seek out his peo-
pie in social and business matters.
Men," said Mr.. Jones, don't run
from preachers if they are rue chill
dren Of God" In this connection too,
Mr.. Jones said he thought it a shame
that in this day and time secret lodges
had, in many cases, to perform the
functions of fellowship that Christian
ity ought to be able to perform Of it.
self. He said that if a Christian
came to him with the password of
Christ" he would be just as ready to
help him as if he were the brother
member of the strongest lodge or so.
ciety in the world.
Mr.. Jones says that it is natural for
those who have not been born for a.
second time to shun the reading of the
Bible. There is something about this
Holy Book that makes u~nregenerate
people want to keep away from it.
Once a mar has been converted, how
ever, he takes the Bible for a friend
and comforter and learns to answer
~perpleXing questions that arise in his
life with Gods Holy Word. And, as
a little reading III it will tell you, the
Bible is a book Of eternal freshness
and inspiration. We can read it over
time and time again and still find it
as interesting Is the first time.

Monday Afternoons Service.


Evangelist Bob Jones said hat he
was somewhat i~ndisposed yesterday
afternoon and would not take q reg
ular text but would speak for a short
while on the subject of Sin" This
talk proved to be one OF the most in
teresting Mr.. Jones has delivered
any afternoon thus far. "Sin," to be-
gin with, said Mr.. Jones. lis unbelief."
And, "there eve was a bigger lie
than that 1t matters not what we be-
iieve because conscience Is regulated
by creed" We cannot hope to please
God without faith. Men are lost be-
cause they are born In sin. They are
judged because they reject Christ.
and they are punished according TO
their works. On the other hand men
are v because they are born
again; thoy are excepted from 1udg-
ment because Christ has been judg-
eel In their place and they are re-
warded according TO their works. The
greatest sin hat can be committed Ia
the sin of not loving God. He wills
that We shall love him with all our
heart and u and mind. God in
cludes every mortal man under sin.
Our best deeds, In Gods sight are
mere filth and rags IL we have not
accepted Christ. No man can be
educated out Of depravity either. Ad-
am had the best environments and
yet committed sin. The results Of
sin are separation from God, death,
and a reward Of a rain of fire. That Is
Gods indictment for us. and our only
hope is pardon through the cleansing
blood OF Jesus Christ. Sin evidences
itself In many people by s%elnshness.
s9s out of 1000 people, says Bob
Jones, are horn out of human selfish
ness. The march Of sim has kept pace
with the march of civilization, too.
God sees down through fine clothes
and fine faces, right into the depths
OF wicked hearts and selfish desires,
and He always says WOE to them
that devise iniquity." Man Is a sin
ner by nature, by choice and by prac-
tice. The Bible says "All we like
sheep have strayed away" And sheep,
says Bob Jones. are the most lost
things imaginable when they stray
away. Pity II Is that this passage
could not have been made to read

for these animals generally find their
