his own salvation, and, therefore. in
it's very nature, the offense makes the
one guilty of an eternal sin that can
never be forgiven.
Some Of those who listened to Jesus
and saw His mighty works when He
was upon the earth sinned this sin.
because they rejected the evidences
which the Holy Spirit of God brought
to their minds and hearts, and instead
Of accepting the evidences Of divine
power, which should have constituted
a call to them to repentance, they de-
clared that Jesus was casting out
devils by Beelzebub, the prince OF
the devils. In other words, they
ascribed to Satan himself the works
Of the Spirit of God. This proves that
they had 70 blinded their own eyes
and hardened their own hearts that
they had shut the door forever upon
truth. and had put themselves beyond
the pale of the divine mercy.

the country which has sent him out
Immediately withdraws the ambassa-
dor and prepares to deal with the
other country that has proved itself
impossible and unworthy. because its
offenses In such a case are unpar-
donable.
When it Is remembered. therefore.
that these weighty words warning
against the objectionable sin--which
really involves the definite rejection
Of salvation through the mercies and
love of God-fell from the lips of
Jesus Himself. the warning Is the
more solemn and sacred. The loving
and gentle Jesus gave the warning.
and In that very connection He made
it clear that those who thus did COM
nit the objectionable sin. do so
because they, before that. have turned
utterly from all good and have will
fully given themselves over to evil.
Therefore, the Master said:
"A good man, out of the good
treasure Of the heart, bringeth forth
good things: and an evil man out of
evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.
But I say unto you that every idle
word that men shall speak, they shall
give account thereof in the day Of
Judgment" (Matthew, Kills.. 36).
The greatest need of this age is
reverence and respect for holy things.
for they lead to repentance, salvation
and everlasting life. Goethe was right
when he taught in Faust" that it is
possible for one to sell out completely
to the devil.

ed and abused. Children have been
frightened with them. This text has
been used as a club with which to
Subdue and terrify.
1 can remember hearing this text
when 1 was a boy Of II. It was used
as an argument against profanity.
was persuaded that the mere use of
of the terrors of the hottest hell. Such
ar argument was bad teaching, bad
religion and very bad morality.
What was Jesus teaching in His
statement?
Jesus was speaking against the
background Of all His previous teach
ing. He had told His disciples Of the
great spirit of God. who is at the basis
of all life. He had taught them to
call this spirit Father. He had taught
them the attributes of this Father
God. He had assured them that all
men are created as brothers and that
they should live in the recognition Of
brotherhood. His disciples had learned
to believe that the teaching of Jesus
had it's finest proof in the life and per-
sonality Of Jesus Himself.
And now comes a scoffer. He looks
upon Jesus and hears of His deeds
and teachings. He says, "All this
comes from the devil himself"
Inc text Tor To-Day Is Jesus answer.
Jesus says in effect that any one who
can look upon the work of God and
call it devilish is hopelessly lost. He
Is damned beyond forgiveness.
Who are the damned? They are the
people who look at light and call 1t
darkness. They look at beauty and
call it ugliness. They look at day and
call 1t night. They look at God and
cry, ut is the devil
The damned are they whose minds
are set in ignorance and blindness and
who see nothing but bad. The damned
are they who find only thorns on the
rosebushes which border LIES paths.
The saved and the damned divide the
rosebush between them: the one will
possess the roses and the other the
thorns. 1t makes all the difference in
the world what one sees and under
stands.
