Golden Text.
If we say that we have no .,ln, we
deceive ourselves, and the truth is
not in us. If we confess our sine,
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 chasm.
for this lesson show us in, its mean-
ing and its remedy, front 4,000 years
before the coming of the Saviour in-
to the world, on through the cen-
turies until some sixty years after
His death, resurrection and ascen-
aien.
There was a time when man viae
eisle s. Then caste the time When
lie fell in sin. The Fall of Man is
a hateful doctrine to many, who
pride themselves on having the
"modern trend." Ilut in the time of
flenrsr . after the faP., had the same.
"modern mind" as men today, and
they hated the doctrine just as bit-
terly.
Adam did not "fall upward," as
some are telling us. He fell down-
ward in a descent unthinkably trag-
ic, which meant death and destruct-
ion to himself and the whole human
race. Fie•• fe11 because she believed
Satan's word against God's wort].
God has said the result of disobedien
ce would be. "Thou. shalt surely
die." Satan said the result would
be, "Ye shall not surely die." The
Temnter told other Tee to Eve as
inducements to sin, and she believed
them. The lie is an essential part of
the character of sin. Almost in-
variably sin deceives the one tempt-
ed,.
Tee , 1:ele of Gent tie 3 should be
n l cel to gut the meaning of the
fir't s: n, its results and pe Wadies,
and Go'l's judgment, upon it. It is
one of the blackest chapter'., in the
Bible. The greatest and worst re -
suit of sin is death, (Rom. 6:23).
peate is not extinction or annihila-
tion, but separation; sin separates
the sinner from God.
And let us notice that the sin that
eer•eekcrd a human race was committ-
el in a perfect environment, such en
environment at no human beings
!wee known since that day. They
were better born, too, that first pals,
than any other, sinc•r tc.eir time ex -

account,, let us remember that they
are describing ourselves, "For all
have sinned, and come short of the
glory of God" (Rom. 3:23.)
In First John we come into the
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 and 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 resurreceion
of Christ, to save us front the death
penalty of our sins, but He provides
a way by which we may stop sinn-
i ,r. "My little children, ''these things
write I nto yuou, that ye sin nos."
Let t u notice that this invitation and
offer does not say, "that ye sin Ices,"
but "that yr- tin not" May we

New Niagara Pact
Ottawa, Ont. Jan. 2—The treaty
between the Unfced States and Can-
ada which will .enable the power
plants at Niagara Falls to take mitre
water out of the Niagara river and
et cite same time protect the falls
against losing any of their scenic
beauty was signed in Ottawa today
by Premier Mackenzie King, acting
itt plenipotentiary, capacity for Ring
George and Ho. William Phillip.',
acting in a similar capacity for the
?'nited States.
It was the first treaty which Pre-
mier King has signed personally on
behalf of his Majesty and also the
first time Mr. Phillips has signed a
treaty for his government since his
appointment to Ottawa.
The new treaty increases 'the a-
mount of water available for power
purposes by approximately 10,000
cubic feet per second to both coun-
tries. The cost of the. remedial
works planned approximates $300,
000 for Canada and $1,450,000 for
the United States. The treaty is
based on the recommendations noet-
tained in the report of the interna-
tional Niagara board, presented .r
year ago.
Ventilation is
Frost Enemy
Fan -Driven Air Carries Away the
Moisture Which Freezes on Cold
Windows.
The ventilating fan is Jack Frost's
newest arch -enemy. Ventilating en-
gineers have discovered that air
blown across a window by a blower
or ventilating fan prevents frost or
condensation from gathering on the
window pane on cold days. Some-
times the same purpose is served by
an air slot over the window, but this
'is not nearly as effective and me
i'cain as the fan -driven air, the air
vonditioning experts declare.
• The moving air carries the main
ture away. Near the window is thu
coli] zone or film which is broken up
by the currents of air. In ninny
themes, housewives worry about
frosted windows because they nee
' only obscure views of the outritk
hut because it is often believed that
the frost is a reflection on the heat-
ing system in the home. This is rani
always true, however, as the frost is
