crucified the flesh with the affections
and lusts" Gal. 5:24.
In regeneration contract was made
between the individual and God, that
if He, for Christs sake, would par.
don him, he would give himself 10 the
services of His Son, and follow Him
throughout life.
In other words, the crucfixion of
the flesh, with it's passions and lusts.
began regeneration, and the process
must continue as long as he lives.
Before the regenerating process oc-
ours, the flesh has undisputed ascend.
ency. Regeneration takes the ascend.
ency from the flesh, and gves it to
the spirit.
Here the "old man" and the new
man" are brought into collision. The
flesh wars against the Spirit, and the
Spirit against the flesh. The conflict
continues as long as the Christian is
I'M the body. Holiness opposes sin.
The renewal of the heart creates a
T love of holiness, and originates the
principle of holiness.
In the renovation of the heart, holi-
ness begins its opposition to sin, and
there is truly fight before the lat
ter is subdued by the former.
In this conflict it is not only neces-
sary to cruelty the flesh with its affec.
tions and lusts, but to resinst the
devil, and to assume position antag
onistic to the world.
The Soldier-Christian is the object
of Satan's implac9ble malice. Every
nch of his way heavenward is disputed
by the enemy of our souls, who as
sumes various forms, and is some
times transformed nto an angel of
light.
The world is foe to the Christian.
How fascinating its splendors! How
seductiva its pleasures! How alluf-
ing its honors! How attractive its
gfehesi ~,
Well do we sing
"Is this vile world friend to grace,
To help me on to God?"
MOL lit is no friend, but an enemy
Strenuous effort is requisite to live
above the communicating influences of
the world, but this must be done by
the Christian.
Let us consider, for a moment, one
of the most seductive pleasures OF the
age, which contaminates and ruins
Christian character.
The Dance.
On this anniversary occasion, know
of no subject that could more fitting
1y be brought before the people, III
order to develop a glorious church
capable of saving lost and hlined
world.
Contrast Between the Dsnce Today
and In Bible Times
In Bible times, religious services
were attended with dancing. 1t was
a part of religious exercises, but en-
tirely different from those OF today.
The reason they were different wa
that the occasion and purposes were
different Then it was to Worship and
rejoce before God. Now 1T is to be
means of passing the time and of hui
man enjoyment. Then the men danced
by themselves, and the women by
themselves. Now they dance together
From all that we can learn In ut
erature and ancient art, friezes and
frescoes, these dances were not with
any embracing.
Those of today are.
Those dances were attended with
singing, and those who danced played
also on harps and instruments Of mu'
sic.
Those dances were not attended
with the drinking of strong drinks.
Most Of those OF today are
