THE LAW OF GOD
Sermon preached night by Lyon.

The principle Of supply and demand
is just as definite and just as certain IN
the spiritual world as in the material
world. No matter how great the sup
ply OF salvation may be. unless there IS
in human hearts a corresponding demand
for salvation, there can be no spiritual
commerce between God and man. No
matter how skillful a physician or how
effective a remedy you may bring to
man dangerously i'll, as long as he does
not realize his condition but believes
himself TO be sound and well, he viii
not avail himself of the skill or the
remedy. One of the greatest needs Of
our day is cultivation of conscience, a
profound conviction of sin. This is not
50 much the province of the Gospel as it
IL the province of the law. "By the law
is the knowledge of SIM The law can
kill. but the law cannot make alive. Not
by the keeping of the law can soul
be saved. That is the mission of the
Gospel. The law was not given to eradi-
cate sin. it was given to reveal sin.
A little boy comes in from his play,
with his face black and grimy. His
mother says. "Go wa. your face The
boy says, "There's nothing the matter
with me, am all right" 'Go look in
the mirror" says the mother. The boy
looks in the mirror, but that does not
make his face clean. But it does make
him see his true condition. So the law
is a mirror which God holds up to man.
Stanley said he gave an African prin-
cess a looking glass She never had
seen one before. When she looked into
IL and saw how ugly she was, it made
her so angry that she smashed the glass
So there are many like that, that when
the mirror of Gods law is held up be-
fore them and they see their true condi-
tion, they want to smash both the mir
ror and the man that holds it.
Sad to say we are living in a most
lawless period of the worlds history.
