SermOnettcs ON Serious Subjects-No,
4-Sin.
(By Jno. A. BrunsOn).

Sin Is here. 1t Is found in every
land, in every stratum of society, in
every department of human activity.
Wherever man is, sin is. In all the
ages OF the inhabited earth, from the
remotest past to the present moment,
there has not been so much as one
sinless human being. OF course,
Jesus the Christ was sinless, but he
was more than man. He was the
Goldman. He stood alone, the one
absolutely unique personality in his
tory. But apart from Him, the whole
world Is and has been peopled with
sinners
What is sin? God tells lis in his
book. His words are: "Sin is lawless-
ness Sin and lawlessness are con-
vertlble terms. All sin Is lawlessness.
all lawlessness is sin. Sin is an inbred
principle, not an acquired habit. You
are not sinner because you sin. You
sin because You are sinner. You
were q sinner before you sinned. You
were born sinner. That is, you were
born with the sin-principle in you
David, speaking by the Holy Spirit,
said Behold, l was brought forth in
iniquity; and in sin did my mother
conceive me-" Psalm 5l:5. What
was true Of David is true Of all. 1t is
true of you. And as soon as you ar
rived at the age of self-consciousness
the sin-principle began to manifest
Itself In acts of dsobedience and Of
INSTRUMENTATION. Your selfish will be-
gan to assert itself against para
mount authority. You began to
think, speak and act contrary to the
will of God. Then you became a
sinner in action as we'll as q sinner
by nature. Sin in your heart led to
| sin in your life. But nobody taught
you to sin at first. You needed no
| teacher. for sin was in you. You sim
ned instinctively just as q spider spins
his web, or bird builds her nest.
"All unrighteousncss is SIM" says
| God. 1t Is also true that all sin is un-
| righteousness. Sin Is the enemy of
all good. 1t is the cause OF all evil.
All Injustice, oppression. and cruelty
are due TO sin, All sickness. suffer
Ing. and death follow in it's wake
The world today is sick. 1t is Sc
riousy sick. 1t is sick unto death
| T"" 'i'c SichHcsS is Sii' Sll Is lHe
disease. Evil thoughts, murders
thofts. adultcrers. false speakinS, and
all deeds Of lawlessness, arc tho
symptoms. Man, moved by the desir
to better the conditions Of society
seeks to suppress the symptoms, but
leaves the disease intact. That i:
reformation. God, moved by the de.
sire to save sinners subdues the dis
case. That is regeneration. Refor.
nation is good. but history teaches
us that it is inadequate. 1t is usual
ly followed by IL recrudesconse of the
evils that were suppressed. Regener
lation is what is required. Hence thu
wise thing for man to do is to turr
to God and cooperate with him in hi
purpose to subdue sin.

A representative of the Bureau of
Markets, United States Department Of

Victory to Sumter
Largest Score of Season Piled
Up Against Florence High
Team in Game with Sumter

Friday night in a game Of basket
ball between the high school teams
OF Sumter and Florence, which was
played in the ''Y" gymnasium Of Sum
ter at O'Clock, Florence went down
before the strong Sumter team by the
Overwhelmingly large score Of As
points for Sumter to the - points
Of Florence.
The game opened with bursts Of
speed and good ball playing on the
part OF both the teams, but within
the first three minutes Of play Wright
OF sumter, had twirled the ball
through the basket thereby giving
Sumter tho first score This initial
basket was rapidly followed by sew
eral others in quick succession so
that within very few minutes Sum-
ter had safely given themselves q long
lea dover the ''quin' from Florence.
Sumter used their five man defense
very effectively and kept the Florence
team down TO single basket during
the whole Of the first half of the
game. The score at the end of the
half was Sumter 80, Florence 2.
The style Of the game during the
second half was entirely changed.
Florence seemed to be playing for
time and trying to avoid the fray OF
the battle. Florence, however. sue
ceedcd early in the first part of the
second half Of the game in tossing
three baskets in rather quick success
SION before Sumter began her scor-
ing for that half of the game. Sum-
ter finally got started and during the
second half summed up to l6 points
to the 10 points made By the Flor
ence team.
This game was witnessed by very
gratifyingly good assembly OF spec
tators who rejoiced in this victory for
Sumter.

thousands of cords OF gum wood
are being shipped from this section
Of South Carolina to the paper pulp
mills OF the states to the north, and
the business is just in it's infancy. A

which ship thousands OF caroads OF

STRONG DEMAND FOR GOOD
DAIRY ANIMALS

''The fact that it pays to feed fiber
ally and milk good COWS is shown by
the demand for high grade dairy
cows says l.. v. Wilson, livestock
specialist of the university Depart
ment Of Agriculture. County agents
and creamery managers are constantly
on the lookout for good quality cows
to replace the boayder kind that are
parasites upon the p6cketbook.
Gas a result Of this demand; sections
of Minnesota having cattle to sell
have had repeated visits from North
Dakota and northern Minnesota dairy
men. In turn, owing to lack Of grade
Guernseys, here at home to supply the
demand, expeditions have been taken
into Wisconsin for stock. County
Agent B. R. Hpuser Of Marshall coun-
ty recently moved in with eight cars
of grade Holsteins and Guernseys.
Isanti county men brought back a
load from Eau Claire, Wis.
'In Waukesha county, Wis, grade
Gucrnseys were selling a month ago
from $75 to 800 each for good quality,
two years old or over. Because of the
increased demand, buyers are now
forced to pay 800 to 1925 for the
same quality.
''It is to be regretted that many
OF our older communities in Minnesota
are not in position to sell surplus
rather than having to buy.'

FORMER ROYALTON GIRL FOILED
BANK ROBBER

Miss Carrie McDougall, formerly of
Royalton, now employed in the Secur-
ity State bank at Robbinsdale, was in
strumental in preventing the getaway
Of a bandit who pulled hold-up in
that bank last Saturday. The bandit
heard noise outside and as he turned
slightly at the sound Miss McDougall
quickly slipped behind Assistant Cash
Ter Paul Ovrom and tripped the burg
lar alarm with her foot. The bandit
got out Of the bank but was fatally
wounded by V. D. Crandall, village
justice.
The bandit was identified as G.. G.
Farrell, formerly Of Crosby. He was
known to Theo., L. Streukens of this
city, as they at one time We're neigh
bors in Crosby, and Mr.. Streukens was
very much surprised when he learned
that Farrell had met death as bank
robber. Mr.. Streukens believes that
Farrell attempted to get money in
this manner to make his 13-year.old
daughter happy. He was divorced and
his daughter was living with him at
the home of cousin in Minneapolis.

ELKS HONOR THEIR
DEP PARTED BROTHERS
MEMORIAL SERVICES AT LODGE
HALL WE'LL ATTENDED-AD-
DRESS BY REV. BACON

Impressive services were held by the
local Elks lodge Sunday in memory Of
the departed brothers of the lodge. The
services were held at the 4 lodge hall
and were attended by large number
of Elks and others. E. V.TWetzel, past
exalted ruler CT the lodge, presided in
the absence of Exalted Ruler V. E.
Joslin, who was in the twin cities for
a conference of exalted rulers of this
state. - i
The program opened with selection
by the Lowell orchestra, followed by
the opening ceremonies by the lodge.
Rev. A. Goodger gave the invocation.
Mrs. Charles Jensen sang my Re
deemer and My Lord,'' by Dudley
Buck, Miss Naomi Randall playing
the accompaniment. The Lowell or
chestra then gave another selection
after which Donald c. Tuttlc sang
"There is No Death, They All. Sur.
vive,' by Hickman, Miss Randall
also playing the accompaniment fol-
him.
Rev. A. G. Bacon, pastor of the
First Congregational church, delivered
the memorial address. He took as the
text for his address the words Of John
in Revelation XXI, "Therc Shall BE
No More Sea- He told of how John
the Apostle had visions of the future
life and revealed them unto the
stricken peoples through the Appeal
ypse or Revelations. John pictured the
sea as a symbol of pain, sorrow and
death in his visions he saw new
heaven and q new earth and there was
no more sea. The speaker said that
by these words the writer, John, may
have meant to convey the idea that
there would be an end to limitations,
and so it is with man today. He is
beset with limitations but these imi'
tations serve to urge the nobler souls
on to- greater efforts. AS an example
of this Rev. Bacon mentioned Milton,
but for whose blindness there would
have been no "Paradise Lost,'' and
Dante, who in exile gave us the "Di-
vine Comedy.' Again, the speaker
said, the writer might have meant by
the expression "and there was no
sea,' that there was to be no more
separation, that after the life Of linn
itations here on earth, and the separa-
ton, was to come the reunion in the
hereafter.
The services closed with selection
by the Lowell orchestra, benedictlon
by Rev. Goodger and another selection
by the orchestra.
