Hitherto his utter- SBCBO were maloly of u threateniuK ebarnrter, bavlog as their objectite the turning of the people from their iwkked ways They refused to heed the prophet’s wjrda, the result of which was the falling of God s Judg lueni upon them In their complete ICBpdvity and the destruction of Jeru When It became clear tbut )e would not heed God s w:im lb the prophet, the prophet lleot—dumb. This tragic portrayed through the M’s wife. Awful as this raa to desist from weep- showing tl^t even natural sorrow .Was not to be Wxpressed at the lime of God s awful judgment. After the renew#f of the prophets eommlsalon, bis messages were mainly consolatory. His responsibility Is set forth under the figure of a watchman. God give him this position. Every minister and Sunday School teacher .Is a watchman. Indeed. u|K>n every believer has been Imposed certain re ■pons! bill ties. Two things are re^ qulred of a watchman. L To beer the word at God s mouth If. 7). . The source of the message of every minister and Sunday school teacher ’Is God’s Holy Word. As the prophet , did not originate his message but re celved U at God’s mouth, so should Hi be with every minister. 2. To sound the warning (v. 7). After hearing ftod’s message he was ^ to proclaim It to the people. The T Vwutchman’s duty Is both to hear and to speak. 'The people are to be warned of tbe impending danger. Failure to sound the alarm makes the watchman guilty of the blood of the sinner (v. 8). After tbe warning the » tBlnner carries his own guilt (v. 0). b II. God’s Attitude Toward the Sin • r . . Bar (vv. 10, 11). God had declared In His-word that unfaithfulness on the part of His peo pit would cause them to “perish •moug the heathen,” to “pine away In tbelr Iniquity** (Lev. 26:38, 30). I In view of this pronouncement, some wore disposed to soy that their case 5raa hopeless. To meet this attitude despair, the prophet assured them God had no pleasure in the death tbe wicked, but that his sincere de tire was for the wicked to turn from bis way and live. Regardless of what ' tbelr past had been He assured them that the future was bright, but God’s .command and plea Is, “Turn ye from pour evil ways, for why will ye die « house of Israel?” *. 111. The Sinner's Personal Responsi ** Ability (vv. 12-20). • v >, God has created the members of the , ^ ^/^fBco as ‘volitional beings, possessing , freedom of choice. They have moral ^licerninenL enabling them to dlstin JfUisb between right and wrong. Tbe jfotlovtlng principles govern the sinner L /BBd the watchman: L Fast righteousness will not aval) {far present sins (v. 12). When a righteous man turns to do liBiquitjr, bis past seeming righteous- will be of no aval!. £. Past sins do not make impossible acceptance with God (w of the law of habit, ev act BMfces It harder for the it hut God’s mercy and that if the Local and Personal News of Blackville Blackville, July 6.—J.

God holds man responsible for bis own deeds. The child Is not con- demned because of the deeds of Its father. This does not do away with the law of heredity. Regardless of what one’s past life has been, God’s grace In Jesus Christ blots out his record and he stands accepted in the Beloved. - On the Job While Moses was caring for the sheep God’s great commission came to him. If God has any great thin? for us to do, we need not fear that He will miss us because we are busy with our common tasks.

It may lead to avoid ance of some innocent plants, but it expresses a simple rule of safety and bears the indorsement of botariists in the United States Department of Ag riculture. In autumn poison ivy may be recognized by its white, bony berry like fruits, in cornection with its three leaflets. ADVERTISE in The People-Sentinel. New York.—Plans now under way for the observance next year of the one hundred and twenty-fifth annt versnry of the birth of Hans Chris tian Andersen by literary bodies and even governments all over the world are announce^ In the Golden Book This tribute to the eccentric Dane whose fairy tales have probably been translated Into more languages than the writings of any other one man. will be in a sense an apology for an all too frequent human error—that of mistaking genius for stupidity. An dersen, It is recalled, was regarded In his youth not only us a dolt but often ns a Ititmrlc. Julius Morltzen, the Danisli-Amerl can writer, relates how Andersen In his early *teens and beset with de sire to shine on the singe, threw Mine. Schall, the noted dancer. Into a (it ot consternation when he ar rived In Co|»ei)iiugen. attired in his father's made-over greatcoat and ■ hnt which fell over his eyes, and pre sented himself at Iter house. He exftected the star to s|»onsor his career, and ofiened the audience with the announcement that he could piny the part of Cinderella! Moreover be removed his h<tots—to aid his dnne lug—took his hat In hand for tumhotir Ine. and hegajn lo trip fantastically o%*er the floor singing: “Here below nor rank nor riches are exempt from lain and woe." “My strange gestures and my great activity cau«ed the lady to think me out of my mind, and she Inst no time In getting rid of me.'* Andersen wrote In adult years. The extreme poverty of Andersen's childhood—his father was a cotd.ler his mother a washerwoman—made him the butt of children's joke* and accentuated his sensitivity Into char acter.srlr eccentricities which he <ar ried through his life, points out the Golden Rook writer. Even when he n-as successful and acclaimed, he never forgot the slights or painful episodes of his youth, and took pains to repay them In strange ways For Instance, the minister who was to confirm him ns s boy thought him too poor and stupid to bother with and sent him to bis vicar for the sac rament In later years Andersen, vis Ring the king of Denmark on the Is land of Foehr, learned that the tuln Ister lived near by. He borrowed the king’s carriage with Its footmen and luxurious trappings and called on the clergyman while the carriage waited In all Its ostentation at the door. •‘That,” he related, “was my revenge.” Before his death In 1875. this mid weaver of fairy tales, despite his ec- renfricities and grotesque appearance, was probably the best beloved of European Literary men, even among literary people themselves. ♦ ♦ Light Docket in Mayor’s Court.
