TRUMBULL Sunday School Times) TIE BEGINNING OF SIN. Sunday, April 18,—Genesis 3 24. Go/den Text: Foe as in Adam, all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive (1 Cor. 15S22): Man could never discover for him- self how sin came into the human race. Science has no explanation for it; psychology cannot account for it—although both try to do so. But God has revealed it, early in His Word, and then shows the•tragic and unending- consequences of sin, throughout the history and teaching in the sixty-six books of the Bible, God had provided everything that Adam and Eve needed, and had plac- ed them In a perfect environment, including His own presence. He set up just one simple test of their loy- alty to Him: abstinence from partak- ing of "the tree of the knowledge of good and evil," telling them plain) that to eat of it would mean deatl Then Satan was permitted to tis them. Why, we do not know; w may trust God in that as in all else We may not comprehend the mys tery of Satan's use of the serpent t tempt Eve, but the fact is to be ac cepted. Remember that Satan i always "a liar, and the father of it, as the Lord Jesus said (John 8:44) he begins his attack in the Garde of Eden by casting doubt on God' Word. "Yea, hath God said?" h begins, and then at once he misrep resents what God had said. It was the seine method that he followed, centuries later, when tempting the Son of God in the Wit derness. God liad just declared that Jesus was Hie Son, and Satan ques- tioned it (Matthew 3:17, 4 :3 ) When we find ourselves doubting in tny way the words of God as given to Its in Ills Book, let us recognize he calling card of the Adversary. Eve did not stick to the words of God, but she added to them—which s just as dangerous as to subtract, God had told them not to eat of the re; Eve said they had been forbid - 11 even to touch it, which was not o. Than Satan became bolder—he lwaye does, when we follow along sith him—and he gave God the lie! Ye shall not surely die," said the iar; and Eve actually believed him. et us not be surprised at this, for e have believed Satan's lies, utter - d in direct rejection. of God's Word, ountless thnes, The Al:natio John tells us that "all int is in the world, the lust of the esh, and the lust ot the eyes, and se pride of life, is not of the Fath- -" (L John '2:16). Notice 'that Sa- n made exactly that threefold ap- eal of sin to Eve, for we read that, when the woman saw that the Vee as good for food (lust of the 'flesh) ncl that it was pleasant to the eyes ust of the eyes), and a tree to be esired to make one wise (pride of fe)," she took the fatal step of sni id death. Those are the three great pproaches to our life that Satan I sin make to -day. Did God keep His word, after dam and Eve had both sinned, and d they "in the day" that they ate the tree "surely die"? God al - ay s keeps His. word. There is no ubt, in tbe least, that they ed spiritually at once, becoming- ead in trespasses and sins," as 011 eir desendants have been by birth om that dey to this, Physical death me later. They were overwhelmingly me- lons of their own sin and sinfulness en, 13y some mystery that is not vealed they Were no* guiltily con - toils of their nakedness, 'whereas fore the, fall "they were both nak- , the man and the Woman, and are not ashamed." And they made pathetic, futile attempt to Cover eir hakednese with self-made gar - mite of fig leaves. It is plainly a no of sinful man's futile efforts to itet, or atones for the coniequen- s of his sin by his °Mtn activities or good works, There is a better Way, 04.1 the end of the chanter ehoWs Clocl'e Way, not man's, ; Dr. E. J. Pace, a Christian car- :1- toonlet has called attention in one of his pictures to man's first -words to God recoeded in the Bible, and man's last words to God. The first was Adam's shrinking reply to God's call: "I heard Thy' voice in the gar- den; and I was afraid. ani I hid myself." The last words in the Bi- ble addressed to God are those of the Apostle John: "Even so, come, Lord Jesus." Sinful man does not want to see God. Cleansed and re- stored man longs to see Him. God's several judgments for the first sin, pronounced on the serpent, on the woman, on the man, and on the face of the earth, should be stud- ied carefully. But in the midst of them there, shines out the first inspir- ed mention of the Gospel—the Pro- teonagelium, as it is called. God says to the serpent concerning itself and the woman's seed: "It shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel." We know that the t great coming seed of the woman was e Jesus Christ, the Son of God, who condescended, when he became. man, to be born of a virgin—born of a o woman, but not of man. The head is a mote vital part than the heel; s Christ permitted Himself to be wounded, temporarily, by Satan, who , has the power of death (Hebrews 2: n 14), but it was in order that He s might overcome and destroy Satan e and his power, bruising his head for - time and eternity. Another foregleam of the Gospel is given in this chapter, when God rejected the ineffective covering for - sin provided by the man-made gar- ments of righteouaness, and "unto Adam also and his wife did the Lord • God make coats of skins and clothe them." This required the shedding of the blood of the animals in anti- cipation of the shedding•of the blood of the Lamb of God, Christ Jesus, for our sins, that we might be cloth- ed by MS righteousness. • BRUCE COUNTY Bruce County is beosting for an increased acreage of alfalfa this year.

If you happened to have an hour's , conversation with him and he men- tioned that his name was King, would you know him to be the head of the Liberal party and tha present prime minister of Canada? The following incident, which re- cently happened in Toronto, may. prove nothing except that every man is not destined to be a detective. A quietly dressed customer walked into one of .the city's leading furni- ture shops. He was alone. He browsed through the corridors for fully five minutes before he was questioned by a salesman arid made his wishes known. He woald like to see some small wooden boxes, and an oak table, he said. With his customer following, the salesman stalked to the mar of the store where the tables were to be -found. The two stood in conversation about the merits of various pieces of furniture for more than an hour, in which time ten tables were inspected. At last the customer was eatisfied and he egreed to buy one table, "I am c•ertain you will be satisfied, . Of eesrse this will be polished up here's, 11 /8 dejiroreet —Irilat is 111C IlaMc, sir?"

"Not so good as we should like, Rather unsettled at present," "That is unfortunate. snit of course the: election had an unsettling effect on some businesses." "Mine was one of those. The elec- tion affected it." "Oh, well, don't worry, sir. Soon we'll have a good old Conservative govermnent running things and then things will improve," "No, I don't think we will have a Conservative government. If we did, I don't think that would improve my business." "And what is your business, may I ask?" "Everybody's." "Oh, I see, sir. Magazines!" It was two days later when the customer returned to make further inquiry about the table and to in- spect some boxes. He mentioned that the boxes must be of antique effect suitable as containers of pri- vate papers or jewelry. A different salesman attended the wants of the customer. "A table is being prepared for me; I should like to see it and also some old boxes." "Yes, sir, and what is the name?" "King—W. L. King." "Yes, Mr. King. Just this way," replied the clerk. While making hie pilgrimage to the rear of the shop for the second time the proprietor saw his distinguished customer, recognized him as the prime minister and greeted him most warmly. Neither clerk had had any know- ledge of his customer's identity, al- though both had been Toronto resi- dents for years and read the news- papers regularly. — Toronto Star Weekly. 11 CANADA GIVING COUSINS LESSON New Zealand Paper Sings Praises of Her Court at Exhibition Two courts in the New Zealainl an:1 South Seas eithibition stand out from all others. They are those of Canada and Great Britain. :Inch is the tribute paid by • the Otago Daily Times of Dunedin, N.Z., which notes thet itt making an at- tractive display Canada had the greater task. - She sought, the wiper adds, to make an industrial display, allowing minerals, agriculture, all .kinas of im ;dements, hides and skins, .confec- tionczy, and almost everything that the aountry produced, and Yet ber aim was to present it in a way that would appeal more to the esthetic senses. It WINS an ambitious project, but the men who organized' the court kneW what they wore aboet, and the fruition of their ideas oe- stilted in a triumphant success. :The Canadian Court is one worthy of the great dominion. 31 18 boilt in a style that is known as roceoeo, but that conveys' little to the visitor who is not versed in the technicalitiee of architecture. Entrance is gained through the vont ..gates just inside No. 4 pavilion, and the view front here is grand and impos- ing. A fortunate color scheme hes been struck in the gold, black, •and .grey facings, a combiaation Which brings out every good quality of the exhibits and which is pleasing to the eye. If a color scheme had beet ba,dly chosen the exhibits 'would have looked dull and lifeless. Aa it ifia they are shown under ideal condi- tions. It is the root ana the backgroued' that first catch the attention, tor the originality is very striking, The ceil- ing is of white velltun, with wide aweoping aeches that eross eaeh oth- er at intervals, and give a dignSfied. and attractive appearaece.

The .floor space covers five-eighths of an acre, and in the whole court there is not a single truss or piece of. construction work to be seen, and that in itself is a remarkable feat. The floor is covered entirely with grey linolitum, One of the distinctive feeturea of the Canadian court is the tramper- ent pictures along the upper walls, showing on the eastern side the lum- ber industry and on the western side agrieultural industry. Tiles have just the appearance of sunlight shining on a country scene, and the effect is most realistic. A great deal of intseest bas been shown in the .pictures of the scen- ery in the Canadian National Park, and the officials have received a num- ber of inquiries from visitors who have been struck by the natural beanty oZ Canada. The northern end of the court is °ca.:mica by the beautiful diorama ot Rocky Mountain scetery, Here is a marvellous representation of na- bare. Igis dusk, and gradually the lights change from dark to the yellow of early morning and the brightness of day, which slowly retreats with ,.the advance of the red sunset. And little breezes play among the under- growth, through which the head of a savage timber wolf is peering, While fla wapiti stands in the fore- ground. • Away in the distance, on the other side Ot the valley, a Silvery mikado leaps end tumbles, too far: away to be heard, but close by, a. laving tor- rent of water rushes down the rock Cliffs and plenges into a small stream which winds its way under a rustie bridge. Surmounting the diorama is a great pictuve, painted on the wall in belch free lines, representing Can- adian commerce. It is a waterfront. seane, where colossal ships • are drawn up to a busy dock and trains ply te and he, While a faetery Chim- ney .reats its length above the sur- rounding buildings.

You 11110W 118 well 1 that we wen don't marry the women; they marry ma" "But." lieleu persisted, "if no worn - PM chooses to take the trouble to bring you down and you don't care to re- attain single, deprived of wife, C1111- dreu and the comforts of a aortae, it seems to me that you had better bestir yourself." Belau was a matchmaker. I knew else had some scheme on hand and waited for her to declare it "I can inake it easy for you," she continued. "I know a girl who, like you, has put oft' matrimony too long and has begun to realize that she is drifting toward a lonely old spinster- hood, a bave offered to help her out. / have invited her to spend July and August with me at Fernwood. I shall have other guests during the summer. both men and tiromen. I shall tell her that I bave a man in vievr for her. How would you like to be that man?" "Helen," I exclaimed admiringly, "you are the queen of matchmakers! Had you told me you had a girl for me and introduced me to her, she and I, knowing of your plan, would doubt- less have spurned each other. Your proposal Is delightful. I enter into It with all my heart But why do you assume that there will be a natural se- Iection between us? "I don't. X simply assume tbat yon are persons of oppoeite sex who seek a mate. The mate being at hand, per- haps you will recognize It if you are left to yourselves to do so." I spent a number of week ends at Helen's country seat, besides two weeks in August. I fancied she had got up the scheme to make a match between me and sotne dear friend of hers, and I be- lieved that I might find out the young lady by the tact that she was some one Helen adored. But I knew that fEroemIenesew . ould conceal this adoration I settled upon a Bliss Jewett, one of Inc guests during the summer whom I had heard her speak of quite often before as the lady between whom and me there was to be a natural selec. tion. Miss Jewett was evidently a yonng woman not especially- ot beau - V or endowed with such lightweight frivolities as are usually attractive to men. In otber words, there was a lot to her, though I admit the words are O very poor description. I met her at O week end visit early in the summer and, having settled upon her as the lady intended for me, showed her ecm- siderable attention. To tell the truth, she interested me in conversation and I preferred her company. I met Inc at Helen's again in July and was counting on further pleasant moments with her, but Ms time she was principally taken up with a Mr. Judkins, whom she seemed never to tire of. If I were talking with Inc and Judkins came up she would dismiss me with a nod, accompanied by a smile, and I was thus corumanded to give place to him. After tiu:ee days at Fernwood I went back to town dis- gruntled. During the longer period I swat at Fanwood Miss Jewett was again a visitor there. She seemed delighted to meet me again, and we were getting on nicely when that fellow Judith's re- appeared, aad again my association vitt' Miss Jewett was broken up. "/ suppose," I grumbled to my host- ess, "that you've got another couple besides me and my unknown to bring ogetheta-stries Sewett and that Cad lalkii1S. What she can see in him"— Elelen smiled and turned away with - tit listening to the rest of it and I went ell to bunt up some of the other pinsters, none of whom interested use n the least, Judkins went away Sun- ny afternoon, and I spent Sunday vening in a tete-a-tete with "Ms so- ectIon," which was whim I considered er. She had the tact to ignore him °iv that he was gone, and I had never nown her to be so entertaining. Not long after this I told Helen that er selection plan 101' 1110 must have one anew, since 1 bad evidently run cross Judith's' affinity. But she turns d the subject, giving me to satisfac- 011. The summer passed witnent any se- ction between um end 0 girl, so far s I could see, bet during the winter I aw a great deal of Miss Jewett.
