Texts have done N (:amagerhm / eir time. ey DR. HERRING. have been distort- ed and abused. Children have been frightened with them. This text has been used as a club with which to subdue and terrify. I can remember hearing this text when I was a boy of 12. It was used as an argument against profanity. I was persuaded that the mere use of certain words would expose one to all of the terrors of the hottest hell. Such ar argument was bad teaching, bad religion and very bad morality. What was Jesus teaching in His statement? Jesus was speaking against the background of all His previous teach- ing. He had told His disciples of the great spirit of God, who is at the basis of all life. He had taught them to call this spirit Father. He taught them the attributes of this Father God. He had assured them that all men are created as brothers and that they should live in the recognition of brotherhood. His disciples had learned to believe that the teaching of Jesus had its finest proof in the life and per- sonality of Jesus Himself. And now comes a scoffer. He looks upon Jesus and hears of His deeds and teachings. He says, “All this comes from the devil himself.” ‘The text for today is Jesus’ answer. Jesus says in effect that any one who can look upon the work of God and call it devilish is hopelessly lost. He is damned beyond forgiveness. ‘Who are the damned? They are the people who look at light and call it darkness. They look at beauty and call it ugliness. They look at day and call it night. Theyvlook at God and 'he damned are they whose minds are set in ignorance and blindness and who see nothing but bad. The damned are they who find only thorns on the rosebushes which border life’s paths. The saved and the damned divide the rosebush between them: the one will possess the roses and the other the THE UNPARDONABLE Tezt: “But he that shall blaspheme agains' the Holy (Ghost hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of cternal damnation.”—Mark, ii.29. thorns.

SUBJECT SIN. BY JOHN ROACH STRATON, D. D. Ivary Baptist Church, New York: sident Fundamentalist League. The Holy Spirit is the third person in the Divine Trinity. He is the rep- resentative of the Lord of Heaven in this world during the present dispen- sation. It is His power that brings about the regen- eration of the in- dividual soul through repent- ance for sins. and | £ faith in Jesus'E Christ as our sin bearer and Sav- for. To reject and blaspheme against Him therefore, is the unpardonable sin, because it means that, by so doing, the individual has himself shut the door in the face of God, Insulting God's representa- tive in the earth, who was seeking his own salvation, and, therefore, in its very nature, the offense makes the one guilty of an eternal sin that can never be forgiven. Some of those who listened to Jesus and saw His mighty works when He was upon_the earth sinned this sin, because they rejected the evidences which the Holy Spirit of God brought to their minds and hearts, and instead of accepting the evidences of divine power, which should have constituted a call to them to repentance, they de- clared that Jesus was casting out devils by Beelzebub, the prince of the devils. In other words, they ascribed to Satan himself the works of the Spirit of God. This proves that they had ™ blinded their own eyes and hardened their own hearts that they had shut the door forever upon truth, and had put themselves beyond the pale of the divine mercy. An earthly government, when it sends an ambassador to another coun- try, is really present in the foreign country through an ambassador. If, therefore, the country to whom the ambassador is sent flouts his authority, insults him and despitefully uses him, the country which has sent him out immediately withdraws the ambassa- dor and prepares to deal with the other country that has proved itself impossible and unworthy, because its offenses in such a case are unpar- donable. When it is remembered, therefore, that these weighty words warning against the unpardonable sin—which really Involves the definite rejection of salvation through the mercies and love of God—fell from the lips of Jesus Himself, the warning is the more solemn and sacred. The loving and gentle Jesus gave the warning, and in that very connection He made it clear that those who thus did com- mit the unpardonable sin, do so because they, before that, have turned utterly from all good and have will- fully given themselves over to evil. Therefore, the Master said: “A good man, out of the good treasure of the heart, bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. But I say unto you that every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of Jjudgment,” (Matthew, x1i.35, 36). The greatest need of this age is reverence and respect for holy things, for they lead to repentance, salvation and everlasting life. Goethe was right when he taught in “Faust” that it is possible for one to sell out completely to the devil. (Covyright. 1027.) = Sl DRIVE TEAMS MEET.. For his second sermon of the series, “Jesus in Action,” Rev. A. F. Elmes will preach tomorrow morning at the People’s Congregational Church on “Jesus at a Wedding.” Two teams of the church met las Wednesday evening, preparatory to their monthly drive.
