GOSPEL TALKS
BY n. G. Valentine

Services Sunday at the PresbYteridn
Church at Eleven and Seven-T Thirty
THE WAGES AND THE GIFT
1.-THE wages of sin is death; but
the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord
Romans 6:23.
Everyone in this world is a ser
want of one of two masters. He is
either serving God or he is serving
sin. There are no other alternatives.
When we are not serving God with
our whole heart we n serving sin
in n form or another.
Service of sin results in death.
Sin earns and deserves death. There
is as much obligation in justice, that
death should be the consequence
of sin, as that the laborer should
receive his wages. The result of
service of God is equally sure,
although on other grounds. He'll is
always merited, heaven never. Life
everlasting is a gift of God. The con-
nection between sin and misery Is
that between labor and its just re-
ward. The connection between
obedience to God and eternal happi-
ness, is merely that of Gods grace.
Sinners are slaves. Sin reigns over
them and all their powers are de-
livered to this master. His bonds
grow stronger every day and his
wages are death. From his tyranny
the only hope of d~eliverance is in
Christ Jesus. The one who erves
God yields all his powers to Him.
The bonds of love and fidelity grow
stronger every day. His reward is
the gift Of eternal life. Which mas
ter are you serving? Will yours be
the wage of death or the gift of life
