If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (I John 1;8, 9.) The six Scripture passages chosen for this lesson show us sin, its mean­ ing and its remedy, from 4,000 years before the coming of the Saviour in­ to the world, on through the centur­ ies until some sixty years after His death, resurrection and ascension. There was a sinless. Then he fell into sin. “’modern mind time of Genesis, after the fall, had the same “modern mind” as men to­ day, and they hated the doctrine just as bitterly. Adam did not “fall upward,” as some are telling us. He fell down­ ward in a descent unthinkably trag­ ic, which meant death and destruc­ tion to himself and the whole hu­ man race. Eve fell because she be­ lieved .Satan’s word against God’s word, God had said the result of disobedience would be, “Thou shalt surely die.” would be, “Ye shall not surely die.’’ The Tempter told other lies to Eve as inducements to sin, and she be­ lieved them. The lie is an essential part of the character of sin. Almost invariably sin deceives the one tempted. The whole of Genesis 3 should ba studied to get the meaning of the first sin, its results and .penalties, .and God’s judgment, upon it. "It is one of the blackest chapters in the Bible. The greatest and worst re­ sult of sin is* death., (Rom. 6:23.) Death is not extinction or annihila­ tion; sin separates the sinner from God. And let us notice that the sin that wrecked a human race committ­ ed in a perfect environment, such an environment as no human^beings have (were pair, time, “eugenics” did not save them, either Neither eugenics nor environment can save or keep from sin. Genesis 6 tells us that some sev­ enteen centuries later, the whole hu­ man race, except one family, had sunk so low in sin that God .knew there was no hope but to wipe out and start over again with that one righeous family. “Every imagina­ tion of the thoughts of his heart known since that day. 1 better born, too, that than any others since except the Son of Man. They first that . So was only evil continually,” we read of man, Of the time Pf the second Coming of Christ to this earth, the Lord Himself predicted; “As the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son (Matt. 24:37.) Are such days mow? The natural man’s lessly sinfpl. Our Lord said of the heart of ‘men thoughts, adulteries, murders, thefts, edness, deceit, lasciviousness, an evil eye,. blasphemy, pride, foolish­ ness.” And. lie showed the inter­ nal, congenital character of sin as He emphasized that thet’e things do. not come into a man from, outside, but'“come from, within, and defile the man.” Next to Genesis 3, Romans 1 may be considered the second blackest chapter in the Bible. Its descrip­ tion of the logical results and ex­ pressions of men’s and women’s sin is staggering, monstrous, but true. Let us remember that all sin in the heart of any human being has within itself the possibilities of that which is described Should we not hate it? The grace of God sin and offering the salvation can only be understood in. the .light of the wrath of God against sin. “The wrath of God is revealed from Heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men.” God would not have’paid the price of sal­ vation from sin by the death of His only Sen unless sin had been such an awful and hopeless thing. Romans. 3 continues the- fearful description of men’s sinfulness and sins. As we read and study these accounts, let us remember that they are describing ourselves, “For have sinned, and come short of glory of God’’ (Romans 3:23.) In First John we come into glory of the Gospel and its offer of salvation from sin. As the other chapters were the blackest, so this is one of the most shining aiid glor­ ious in the Bible. “The blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanseth us from all sin.” Not only does God offer, by the death and resurrection of Christ, to save us fom the death penalty of ,our sins, but He provides a way by which we may stop sinning. “My little children, these things write I unto you, that ye 'Sin not.” Let us notice that this invitation and offer Roes not say, “that ye sin less,” hut "that ye sin not.” ’ May we learn to hate and loathe and fear sin so utterly that we shall turn eagerly •to the Saviour and Lord and accept fully His marvellous and sufficient provision .against (Sin's penalty and power. n be.” nearing heart Is hope- Out proceed evil fornications, covetousness, wick­ lasciviousness. in this chapter it as God hates* in dealing with sinrier a way of all the the Old Ironsides arose from his breakfast-ta/le the following morn­ ing determined to, see Acklin. Acklin had foreseen thia visit. It was certain to-be a bad'/half-hour. Thought of its unpleasantness, solely, and not a sense of shame for his du­ plicity, caused him to arrange hur­ riedly fol* an alleged trip to the Owy­ hee. ’ Therefore it followed that about the same time Jose left the Ranch'o, Acklin departed from the Bull’s Head. By word of mouth from his men, the news of the old Basque's comin'g had been relayed to Cash. He had Clashed back to them not to molest the visitor. “Buenos diaS, Senor” he called, as the dignified old Basque strolled, up the steps: Jose returned the salutation cere­ moniously. “Is the iSenor busy?” he inquired. "The boss isn’t home,” .Morrow answered, almost glad that he could speak the truth. “He left for the Oxyhee this morning early. Don’t ex­ pect him back to-day neither.’’ Jose mopped his forehead. “Anything I can do for you?’’ Cash suggested. “Yes!” Joes tones were icy cold. “I came to-day to ask permission to cross your fence. My neighbors have sought to see beyond it, and they have been driven away. and ACklih know me. on what is not mine, has been trickery on cannot refuse me.” Cash hitched tip his trousers. "I ain’t got any complaint agains your’ lidnosty,” he stammered, “Btn you’re asking something i can’t ai lew through o have expected,” old Ironsides said, unable to smother his? anger. “I wanted Sienor Acklin to convict him­ self before I judged, hinn I have my ’answer! I see now, that he runs away; he is a coward too.” Without another word he mount­ ed his horse and struck off down the valley. Once he had arrived at the Ran­ cho, Jose retired to the patio to lay his plans for the meeting that even­ ing. Esteban he sent to Paradise. By noon the result Of Jose’s errand had spread through the valley. Esteban, however, did not plan to wait for the meeting. With about half a dozen chosen companions he schemed to ride around the Double A wire and see for himself just what had happened. He rightly figured that the men on guard would be host caught un­ awares early in the evening. He therefore planned to have liis friends make a demonstration directly north of town; as soon as the twilight fa­ ded and while they were engaging the ‘attention of Acklin’s men, he hoped to steal unobserved through the foothills below the Chimney.

Parlmer-Fisher Wedding quiet wedding took place inA London on Monday of last week when Rev. J. E. J. Millyard, of Wesley United church united in marriage Mary Marguerite, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Fisher of Hensall to Thomas Leroy Parlmer, son of Mr, and. Mrs. T. W. Parlmer. The bride was attractively gowned in 'U dress -of’ periwinkle blue trans­ parent velvet with shoes and hose to match, and she wore a black broadcloth coat trimmed with walla­ by fur, with smart hat to match. Fol­ lowing the ceremony Mr. and Mrs. Parlmer left fo Hensall, where they intend to make their home.

Yet behind the expressionless masks smoulders a grim fanaticism in no way more clearly exemplified than by the ancient ritual of the Buddhist monks. Without the eastern gate ctf Wu­ chang, on the southern shore of the Yangtze and opposite Hankow, lately the centre of pandemonium, blood­ lust, and incendiarism, stands the hill of Hung Shan, its summit crown­ ed with the pagoda of Pan Tung Shin, the Monastery of Pervading Preciousness. It is here that can­ didates for Buddhist priesthood must pass through the physical torture that is their initiation, and so ensure their spiritual welfare. Over a thousand years old is this pagoda, erected at the beginning of the Tang dynasty between A.(D. 630 and A.D. 9P7. Of all. the .Yangtze. temples it is, perhaps, the one In best, repair, thanks to the ceaseless work of generations of monks and the vast wealth they are said to administer. At the time of an ordination, if the traveller is fortunate enough to- gain admittance he will pass through the monastery woodshed, by way of kitchens and • refectory, to the eerie heart of the temple. And just before dawn the awesome ceremony will be­ gin. Mate voices chant, in the sha­ dows, drawing ever nearer to the dim light of the central hall. Gilt images grin down, nine on either side;—the Lo Hans, earliest of Buddha’s dis­ ciples—and in the centre is the great cross-legged figure of Buddha him­ self. On either side stand three cowled, monks with books held before their faces, chanting and reading,, in turn, the pauses punctuated by the clash­ ing of gongs and the roll of wooden drums. At the head of the table stands a monk with brilliant scarlet headdress, and in the adjacent room the candidates wait. There may be sixty of them ready to attend the ceremony, their faces like death-masks, and clothed in long robes of drab grey. After an hour of chanting and gong-sounding and drum-beating, they appear before the great idol, where a long bench has been placed, with straw hassocks in readiness. On the bench are the in­ struments' toL be used, in the agonizing process of burning holes in their heads. There are sticks of incense, wax, and slices of raw turnip. They enter, kneel, and on each shaven head the officiating monks mark nine spots where the flesh is to be burned. The sticks of incense are affixed to the spots and the Riper Ignited. It takes two minutes — an eternity to the onlooker—for the In­ cense to burn its way to the scalp. Between the patches, pieces of tur­ nip are placed to prevent the heat from spreading. And all the time there is the rolling of the drums. On no single face is there a quiv­ er, but the pain must be excruciating as the live ash is pressed down Into the burnt-out holes, and then these newly-ordnined monks are led away by their seniors.

He was rushed to the hospital and after some time showed signs of im­ provement. The next day he lapsed into unconsciousness and a delicate, operation was performed to relieve the pressure on the brain but he did not rally. He is survived by his ag­ ed mother, one brother and two sis­ ters. After a week’s illness from flu, Miss Helen Russell died at home in Russeldale, on Saturday, January Sth, at the age of about 83 years. The late Miss Russell and her sister, Mrs. Anderson, who is in her eighty-fifth year, made their home together and. Mrs. Anderson is very ill at the present time. The late Miss Russel’s parents, were among the earliest settlers of Fullarton and the land where the village of Russeldale now is was in the early days a part of the Russel farm. The deceased woman was highly esteemed; by all Who were ac­ quainted with her. She had been a member of Roy’s church for many years and her remains were interred in that cemetery. Automatic System Installed Said Be Quite Successful. A new device for stopping trains automatically is about to be installed on the Berlin-Dresden line in Ger­ many. The new device is worked by an electric-magnetic system, one magnet being attached to the rails between the first semaphore, or warning sig­ nal, and the principal semaphore, while the other is affixed to the loco­ motive. On observing the warning signal, the engineer can disconnect the locomotive's magnet by means of a simple lever, failing to do so, how­ ever, the brakes are automatically applied about a quarter of a mile be­ fore the principal semaphore, when the locomotive cannot be started again until the engineei* gets off add operates a releasing device attached to the semaphore. Neither snow, ice nor any other foreign substance can diminish the electro-magnetic power of this device which therefore can never becoine clogged as other mech­ anically operated contrivances. to £ee- Tliis ene- that Both you I lay no hand Unless there your part you I’ve got orders to let no on- And for 25 years I beer min’ to see that orders are carried it aroud here/’ ’•Your answer is what I should DIED IN BLANSHARD Blanshard township lost a well- known resident on Sunday with the. death of Ewen Cameron the 1st Concession. on traded a bad cold d into the flu about ’ore his death.
