THE WAGES OF SIN-AND
THE GIFT OF GOD.
BY Rev. John OVAL.

X X X x X X x X x X i: X x x
"For the wages of sin is death; but
the git OF God is eternal life through
Jesus Ghriet, our Lord Romans Ga.
in this text we see the grand climax
Of an argument. The sixth chapter of
Romans is a practical application of the
doctrines of grace already taught from
the third chapter on. The great ques-
tion is, "shall we serve God or serve
sil. q" The teaching is very emphatic;
heneeforth we should not serve sin but
God. Sin shall not have dominion, for
the mastery belongs to God. And the
APOSTLE anpeals to us whether we are
not the servants of him whom we obey,
whatever our outward profession.
And nov, having contrasted servants
of sin and servants of God as to the
service rendered, he closes with the con-
trast Of the final issue. The service OF
sin issues in death; ;the service of God
issues III life.
Death is here represented first, as the
fruit; second, as the end; and third,
as the wages of sin. The fruit, because
sin naturally produces death, as tree
does fruit. Sec Gal. 6:7. The end, be-
cause it is the awful goal to which
all the paths of sin tend, and in which
they terminate; wages, because 1T is
the stipend or pay which sin provides as
compensation for service.
Death means much more than extlnc-
ton of physical life, or separation OF
soul and body. 1t involves all that pro-
cess of gradual decay of sensiblllty for
good. sympathy and holiness, winch is
the inevitable fruit of sin. This is the
natural history of sin.-James $50. IL
goes from earthly to sensual, defylng the
Indulgence of the flesh; as in all false
religions lust has been sanctioned and
even sanctified as part OF rellglous Wof-
ship; and from sensual 1t SINKS TO oeVll'
ish.
This is the history of every sinner,
LET him alone and he goes from the
worldly and carnal to the sensual, and
then TO the diabolical. The Chinese have

ing the whole body, and making uea'n

The service of God issues in hfe. Ihe
servant of God finds first, the trult Oh
obedience is holiness; the end is ever

The reason this famous root and herb

Kelly's case was because it went to the
root of her trouble, restored her to a
normal healthy condition and as result
her nervousness disappeared.
