There Is, however, u too general ten dency to dlftcoUIll Scriptural teachings ? to feel that (Jod, having done so much for man, will do more, (hat, In some way, a comfortable and blissful future is assured us, even though un belief and disobedience mark our con duct hero. The apostle combats such a conception. Jesus Himself contra dicts it: "Ye cannot serfe < loci and Mammon." The Scriptures uniformly oppose it by precept and example. It is my task this morning to en force this thought: All men are re deemed by Christ; but wo are not saved from our guilt and its fixed penally until wo are in accord with Christ and the divine plan. What the ?owing is the harvest will he. This Is the truth as taught us. Our text is a warning -an uumlstnk ii hie danger signal. This warning Is given In view of real dangers appar ent to all observers of human nature. It assises Us that (Jod does not make spiritual or moral paupers of men.' Men cannot be redeemed without <fod; but, in the divine economy, <2oi} doe# not save the man without the man himself. The man, in addition to (bid's work, must work out his '<nvn salvation. For man there is a sowing and there is a reaping. There is good seed for sowing in moral and spirit ual Koil; there is otlur seed whieb de velops degraded human character. Man Selects his own seed and sows it. The send proceeds to follow the law of nature. ? It brings forth after its kind noisome weeds or golden grain. it is mi eternal harvest of "corrup linn" or of "everlasting life." Kveu if nmn 1?p deceived, * ? oil is not mocked. 'i S i i < Scripture warns us flint every mortal lias freedom to direct his own career within well known fields, tor goed or ?*\ II. Above ;liv human actor is flie 1 ii vino Governor, who will not r. impel liiunan loyally, hut who, ml fnt? in more extensive fields than lliu merely finite ntuL human, invariably directs She mortal )to flu* future his iwu freedom has' chosen, to the roup* i is l? of flu* harvest his own life lias sown. Thus It is clear that man's ; destiny Is i 11 his own control. If becomes apparent that tills uni versal governor in administering his government is not anarchic. lie is the supreme exponent <?f order and la\y,; lie, (lie arch-opponent of confusion. All disorder lends fo confusion, in particular as in universal dominion. { The human sinner Is a begetter of confusion in that lie interferes with law nnd order, lie thus challenges (lie divine wisdom, power and will, lie Is a rebel against the Creator and Ruler of all things. Were all nature to follow him, the original elirtos and anarchy would prevail In ad realms. Perfect order in human life would bring man to the perfect destination for which he was originally designed. That perfect order becomes a real f.u t foe man through .Testis Christ, who is tluv exemplar of flint order. "Who Ilis own self bare our sins in Ills own body on the tree, that we. being dead to sin, should live unto righteousness; by whoso stripes ye were healed." If we encourage sin in our lives, if we do not persistently resist (lie devil, we nre sowing accursed seed; we are not dead fo sins, we do not live unto right eousness; consequently, that perfect M'der is not an actuality for us, though if remains a possibility, because of flu* divine merry and our ability fo sow the seed of repentance, l'v-i< bid's help, if we will. Evidently, then, the glorious domin ation of man as described in Scripture, bringing the. creature back to Ins lost j estate, where ho is conformed to the imago of Him who is the express image of Clod's substance, is not an arbitrary goal to which every creature move whether or no. The attainment j of that destination Is a matter of choice and decision on the part of the creature that decision and choice in dicating his accord with the will and plan of tho Creator. Man has a goal, a gnat purpose for living, set before ! htm. the "life everlasting" of our text, | toward which it is his personal re sponsibility and duty intelligently fo J direct his way. lie is not like the crick et. If you have ever noticed this in sert in an open space, bound for some where, you will remember that lie spring a foot or so into the air, turns a somersault or two at each jump. \ his course being zigzag and uncertain, as likely to terminate in one place as another, so far as you can determine. Many mortals do resemble the insect, with this exception, that the unintel ligent, zigzag course cannot possibly bring them to the right destination. That this zigzag course exists indi cates that the truth has Ikmmi perverted. Men ha\e been deceived. In their con fident intellectual self-conceit they have proclaimed various modifications of the Christian plan as wo possess it. In their reasonings and speculation? they have argued that a loving God would not (fo this, that He womd not do that: that a just tJod would act thus and so. and would not act In cer tain ether ways. So they have an nounced their conclusions that all will eventually be saved, whatever th?lr lives' sowing tuay have been; or that Immortality is conditional, that the In corrigible will not suffer eternal pun ishment, but that finally they will bo annihilated, utterly destroyed; that there will be a future probation, nn op portunity beyond the grave to accept the divine mercy. All of this Is at tractive as speculation. The truth Is. there is no adequate warrant In tho Holy Scriptures for any such hopes. God says. "Be not deceived." God in sists that the eternal life is a har vest following a seed sowing. In practice, too, there -are dangerous theories, for "as a man tbinkcth in his heart, so la he.** If ho makes him* . self bells ve that everything is coming f# trotptttiTt or u? gjg* duct, IjIh belief will affect I?1k conduct.

Kueh nttl t tides ?f mind, with their baneful re sults, are nil too common. Tito thought of the Judgment of God in absolute equity In the eternal existence of the hoiiJ a moat admirable and effective cheek upon all nuch human prcsump (ion. Well may we pray with tho Psalmist, "Keep hack thy servant also from preHiimpluouft sins; lot them not have dominion over me.*1* The baneful renuIlM referred to have Illustrations in every tiehl of endeavor.

"Pull" jnay secure place among men, but character and abillly only bring honor. Some men may be tardy In recognising Worth, Goer is not. His judgments are based on character. Again, in busi ness it has come to pass that too often any legal means is considered Justifia ble. "According' as you put something In, the greater will be your dividends of salvation," one man of enormous wealth and extensive business Inter ests is reported to have said. That "something" which you put in Is not money, or words, or deeds. These, one or all, may he a symbol of that "some thing." The thing put in must be a self-surrender to Cod, an acceptance of the Divine will as our standard of conduct. If Mr. Rockefeller is destb* tute of tills disposition of moral self snrrendcr, ail iijs great gifts are not j sufficient to win 1>1vJ;j?^ J None can buy the gift of God. Cod is too rich to sell, and man is too poor to buy.

It is wors? than useless fqr a man to make the church his hobby" If he gouges bis fellow-men in business every chance he gets. "Ro not deceived." Remember the harvest and be heedful of the sowing. There are men active in political life, professed Christians, who, according to rumor? in some Instances the rumor has been proved fact in court? are the recipients of peculiar favors popularly known as "graft." It's custom. Oth ers do i i , they say. Yes, and it's il legal, dishonest; it's perjury, too. Sec retary Ronaparte does yell to Insist that this species of dishonesty is a grave menace to tho nation. The book says, "Re not deceived." I speak to young men. Sumu of you may hold political position, as you row hold busi ness places of responsibility. I speak forcefully, for I know your possible temptations. Abhor any moral com promise in politics, in business or In social life. The man who leads a double life is a doomed man. lie may not be condemned to prison by a jury of his peers; lilfc Integrity may escape question because of prevailing laxity or personal shrewdness. Rut, "Re not deceived; Cod is not mocked." "Re sure your sin will find you out." All souls reap, gathering us they itavo sown. Thank God, there are men, many of them here and everywhere, ?who are above reproach. May their tribe increase. So we deceive ourselves. ? In our sclf decelv'd state, we may find a sort of comfort; wo are with the crowd; our chances are as good as another's; we'll turn over a new leaf, now or hereafter. "Cod is not mocked." We cannot treat Cod contemptuously, as we may our fellows. As truly as seed brings a like harvest, so truly our derision of God resolves itself into despair. The insult to I>eity always reverts to the insulter. Men must not find comfort in the thought that such willful disorder on their part can produce order hereafter. If the sowing be sin, disorder, the reap ing must be. confusion. Christianity offers humanity its greatest conceivable opportunity, but humanity must embrace the opportun ity. Victory.
