GOLDEN TEXT.—If we say that
we have no sin, we deceive ourselves,
and the truth is not in us. If we con-
fess our sins, he is faithful and right-

OLD TESTAMENT VIEWS
OF 'SIN.
Our firs t lesson on the Great
Christian 'Teachings showed ns some
of 'the characteristics of God, anll es-
•pcciaily his chief quality of love,
whereby He is our :Father, the Father
of all men, But at once we must
set off against that picture the aw-
ful contrast of human' sinfulness. - We
have met with hatred the ]sive' of
God. The divine self -giving has been
answered by human disloyalty and
the divine wisdom has found a res
pons This 1n human disobedience: 1
the: terrible fact which brought our
Saviour, into the world, and this 'fact,
much. as we should like to omit it,
is next to be faced and studied.
LIGHT ON THE DARKNESS OF
SIN..
And this is the message which we
(the apostle John, who wrote this
Epistle; .,see verse 1) have heard from
1.
Him (from Jesus Christ: see verse 3)
o no i,
and auir� u ce unto you. The epistle
written for all the churches, but
especially to Ephesus grid the other
churches of Asia where John had
preached, That God is light, and in
Him is no darkness 'at all. No dark
ness of sin, for He is perfectly holy,
No darkness of error, for He is per-
fect wisdom. No darkness of deceit,
for He is all truth. No darkness of
hatred, 'for our God is love, This
was a new, and startling ‘message for
the World in which John lived.
If we. say. St. John uses "we"
considerately; he himself, as well as
those whom he is addressing, was
liable to error. That we have fellow-
ship with Him. Such fellowship with
God as Adam and Eve had before the

fall, And walk in, the darkness:
"Walk is a common .New Testa-
ment expression signifying the entire
course of life. We lie, and do not
the truth, This is not mere „ rcpitr-
tion, for lying is falsehood in speech;
but not doing the truth includes False
actions as well as false words.
But if we walk in the light. ' if we
live all our lives—inner and outer,.
seen by men and seen only by God—
in the daylight of divine - purity,
truth and love. As He (God) is in
the light. Since God is light, His en-
tire existence is bathed in light, We
have fellowship' one with another.
After his fashion, John leaps ahead
to 'new thought while he .seems to be
still with the former idea,
And thee` blood of Jesus. His Son
cleanseth us from all sin. Here a-
gain John leaps ahead of his argu-
ment and fastens on a great new
truth,
If we 'say we have no sin, we •de-
ceive ourselves, and the truth is not
inS us. All these are niodes of self-
deception, leaving us thinking of our-
selves "more highly than we ought
to think, '
If we confess our sins. Our con-
fession is due chiefly tzt God Him-
self, 'because He is most profoundly
ag,grrieved by our offences; but con
fession may be due also to those a-
bout us.
He is faithful and righteous to for-
give us our sins. "He" refers to God,
to whom our regular confession is to
be made, confession before men being
made as exceptional conditions may
"prompt and require, And to cleanse
us from all. unrighteousness. When
God forgives, tis He does two vital.
things for us: He remits the punish-
ment due to our sins and He cleanses
us from the pollution caused by the
sins, We are saved from the past,
and e are introduced to a future of
purity.w
If we say that we have not sinned,
we make Him a liar, and His word.
is not in us. Denying our sinfulness
is worse than self-deception, it is
charging God IHimself with false-
hood, for He las declared that we
are sinners, and has assured His be-
lief in our sin in the most positive
Manlier, namely, by sending His Son
to expiate our sin on the cross.
My little children. This endear-
ing term inoluded all in St, John's
flocle, both old and young. The
apostle 'hinnself was nearly a hun-
dred years old wliein he died, the last
survivor of the Twelve. These things
(the first chapter of the Epistle.)
write I unto you that ye may not sin.
The purpose of the letters is to pro-
duce holiness in the Christians. And
if any man sin. Any man, from the
most wicked idolater to Christians' as
holy as. John himself; for note the
"we" that follows. We have an ad-
vocate with the Father. The Greek
word translated.:\dvocate means
led to", and signifies some one called
to another in 0 trial to defend hitt),
speak for him, intercede on his be-
half with the judge. Jesus Christ the
righteous. John knewJesus well,
and could testify t'lntt he was right-
' eons. If he were not righteous he
could not plead With a righteous God
onbehalf of unrighteous men.
And he is the propitation of our
snnl„ bV'hen God forgives men, He
releases theta from the penalties of
'their sins;; and the death of Christ
is the ground on which he releases
s
them." And not for ours only, but
also for the whole world. "Nothing
gives us such a wonderful impres-
sion of what Christ was to His im-
mediate
nn-ne'.diate followers tis that they ac-
tually sate Him as He died upon the
cross a goodness that outweighed not
c.nly their sin, but all sin, and, could
say that God was in Christ reconcil-
ing the world to Himself,
And hereby we know that we know
Him, if 'we keep His commandments.
Obedience to Christ leads to know-
ledge of Christ. We 1now, and
know that' we know. This is

duces the following verse: '

wa'lk'ed, "Yin 'Mrnl" means "'in God,"
and "as he walked" means "as Christ r'

Here is a real railway revolution.

Much concern is felt about the con-

two paralytic strokes. Little hope
for her recovery is entertained.
Some excitement was caused in the
village when the house of John Hut-

caught fire on Thursday forenoon, A

I)artrnoor .Pony Is No Longer a Pay-

I To many people Dartmoor, Eng-
land, and the hardy Dartmoor ponies
go together—they cannot imagine
one without the other. And certain-
, ly to come by surprise do a herd of
these ponies in one of the wilder
stretches of moorland is an unforget-
table experience.

Fair £3 or £4 was quite a usual.
price for animals that would have
fetched ten times these sums in the
old day's, and many farmers have
been selling their ponies to dealers
at thirty shillings or even less apiece.
These prices mean that the Dart-
moor poly is no longer a paying pro-
position. But the situation may be
saved by experiments which are now
being made in crossing the Dartmoor
pony with the Arab, so as to pro-
duce a polo pony that will combine
speed and stamina.
