wilfully trans
crosses against knowledge and Truth
transgresses against the Spirit of Truth.
Such sin never has forgiveness (Mat-
thew 12:32); it must be expiated. If,
however, it were a sin against full
light, the expiration would mean the
Second Death. We have reason to be-
lieve that on account of inherited weak
nesses and unholy environment, nearly
all sins committed by Gods people are
mixed sins-only partly wilful.
Whoever realizes his transgression
forgiven and his sin covered must have
great peace and joy toward the Lord.
Nevertheless he may be troubled with
aches, pains and various diseases as a
result of those sins. The sins, there
fore, are not blotted out, although for
given; their marks are seen In what
ever way they have blemished him. st.
Peter declares that u sins will be
blotted out at Christ's Second Coming.
(Acts 3:19-21.) We readily see how this
will be; for in the resurrection the
Church will be given perfect bodies.
Conditions For Forgiveness.
Much confusion of thought prevails
respecting forgiveness Of sins To In
derstand clearly, we must remember
that the whole world rest under Divine
sentence of death, with no direct offer
of hope. The Lords people have the
Scriptures, informing them that God
purposes great things for mankind, but
that at present Gods mercies and ia
vOrs are confined to those In covenant
relationship with Him.
God entered into a Covenant with
Israel, through Moses as mediator. On
the basis of the Atonement Day sacri-
fees, forgiveness was imputed to them
for that year. Thus they could come
to God in prayer respecting forgiveness
Of sin, as in David's case. This priv
ilege did not extend to the Gentiles;
and even with the Jews it merely typi-
fed the permanent arrangement of this
Gospel Age, based upon Jesus bet
ter sacrifices"
Since Jesus day another Covenant
has been opened, the Law Covenant
being practically imperative mean
while. Those who enter this Covenant
Of Grace sacrifice their earthly rights
and interests, accepting by faith the
spiritual blessings which God has

DECLINING AMITY

Syracuse, n. Y, April 27.-Colonel
Roosevelt began to break away from
William Barnes when the idea began to
take shape in his head that he wanted
to be President again to succeed Presi-
dent Taft. That is what William T..
Wins, counsel for Mr. Barnes, tried to
bring out to-day when he read to the
jury a number of letters that passed
between the two this afternoon. The
earliest OF these letters was dated
shortly after the Colonel had become
Vice-Presdent, in 1901, and the latest
on August 4, 1910. 1t was at the latter
time that the state committee at the
direction of Mr. Barnes recommended
Vice-President Sherman for temporary
chairman of the state convention.
However, the Colonel testified that
his relations remained pleasant with
Mr.. Barnes until February IA, 1911. the
date of the Lincoln dinner Of the Re-

not word Of the duty Of citizen, es-
capped him all day.
il was no trouble at all to see that
it was a very dull day for the Colonel.
His only relaxation was TO take notes
busily when a letter was read which he
thought would require further explana-
ton in his redirect examination.
William Barnes returned from AL
bany to-day to take look at the trial.
He was in time to hear some OF his
correspondence with the Colonel read.
1t is probable that he will 60 back TO
Albany tomorrow.

onel's cross-examination tomorrow
morning, and will continue TO intro
duce newspaper reports Of the Colonels

On May 10, 1900. Senator Plat sent
to Colonel Roosevelt a letter he bad
received from Lemuel f. Quigg, which
read in part:

sentative.

paign for the precise language of the

but whatever the platform says. if

In a letter dated three days later
Colonel Roosevelt returned Mr.. Quigg's
letter TO Senator Plat. writing:
The thing has gone so far that Il
would be wise to have Mr.. Quigg kept
on the committee. | would like to talk
over some resolutions with you and

On June %, 1900, Senator Platt wrote
