Buck!en'e Arnica Salve Ifes Best Salve la Tbs WsrM. Los Angeles, Cal., Feb. 16.—That the power of evil habit may reassert itself after many years and that even a good man may fall hack Into sin unless divinely fortified against temptation Is the practical lesson of this sermon. The text Is John v, 14, “Sin no more lest a w’orse thing come unto thee.” Calvinists and Arminians have bat tled for generations over the question whether it is possible for a man who has once been converted to fall Into sin and be finally lost. The question is uo nearer a settlement than It was a hundred years ago, but I think there Is one aspect of it in which both would agree. Unhappily there Is no room for dispute about the facts. The Meth odist points, In proof of his contention, to men who are sunk in vice and deg radation, who were once believed to be true Christians. The Presbyterian sorrowfully admits the fact, though he explains it by saying that such men were never children of God. and they deceived themselves and deceived the church, or else they were Christians and will j-et be saved through discipline that God will use to bring them flack to his fold It Is of these men I would speak this morning. We are down by the pool of Bethes- da. In all probability this was a min eral spriug, like a Yellowstone geyser. Samuel Barnes thinks it may have been. At certain times this pool erupt ed. and at the first troubling of the waters they had a curative quality at tributed to angelic action upon them. The sick and the diseased would gather there ready to plunge in at the aus picious moment. The first who stepped into the water at that time was cured of his or her ailment, hut one poor man was there who was so weak and slow In his movements that he could not en ter alone. Tie seemed to have no friends. Reading between the lines, I think this man’s sickness may have been the result of a past evil life. Sin and physical agony are sometimes, hut not always, concomitants of each oth er. Jesus saw and had compassion on him, he looked so sick and wan and helpless. Then Christ cured him. Then Jesus meets him afterward in the tem ple and speaks the words of my text: “Behold, thou art made whole. Sin no more lest a worse tiling come unto thee.” We may wonder what there could be worse than (lie man had endured. To lie there day after day for thirty- eight years, suffering from paralysis or rheumatism or some other ailment that rendered him helpless, was surely bad enough. But Jesus thought there were worse things than that and they might come upon him if he fell into sin. The warning comes with addi tional force to us because we have been accustomed to regard the miracle as a type of conversion. We should therefore ask ourselves in what re spect the calamities that come from sin are worse than physical helpless ness. The Backslider’s Remorse. The backslider, in the first place, Is haunted by the grewsome specter of a poignant, never ceasing remorse. He has enjoyed the inspiring hope of sal vation. He lias tasted the ineffable sweets of the gospel. He is like the prodigal in the far country. He was not born of swine keeping parents. He was not treated as a social out cast He was cradled In the old home stead and knew what a loving moth er’s smile was. He knew what honor and affection and respectability meant But he deliberately went and flung all away and turned his back upon the things that make life worth living. In his misfortunes after his poverty came upon him, wherever he went and whatever he did, be kept picturing to himself the plenty and happiness of his father’s home. Do you suppose a man who has once lived in a comfortable house on a respectable street with a loving family and amid kind friends, could ever be happy to go and dwell among social outcasts if he knew that he was the direct cause of his own dis grace? Some years ago a yonng Scotchman came across the seas and settled in this country. He married here and had two little children, whom he loved dearly. He was not a bad man. He bad a religious bringing up. But be was one of those who drifted into dis sipation through sociability, as so many bad done before him. The men always used to take a drink before they started work. Then they would fireak off work about 10 o’clock and fake another drink. Then they would always take a driuk at noon, and so on during the day. This habit began to get its merciless hold upon him. One evening on his way home from work a sleigh was dashing down the street Before he knew it the horse was al most upon him. He leaped back just In time to escape being knocked down. As he did this two women beautifully dressed In furs laughed contemptu ously at his predicament The man be gan to think. Why was he walking when other people could ride and al most ride over him and treat it all as a joke? Who were these rude rich people? Looking after them, ho recog nized these women as the wife and daughter of the saloon keeper from whom he and his fellow workman bought their daily drink. It Paid to Do Right As he watched the-sleigh disappear ing he said: “Too have had the last ilollar you will get from me. From now on I am going to buy my wife furs and give my children a home in stead of supporting you.” The next morning when the men broke off work and said, “Come on, Joe, let’s go and take a sip.” he re plied: “No! 1 have given that saloon keeper the last dollar he will ever have of mine. I am going to buy my w’fe and halms a home instead of support ing his family lu luxury.” The men laughed. "All right.” said Joe. “You’ll see.” And in a couple of years that workman had enough money which he had saved from the saloon to buy a city lot and build a little home. That workman today is one of the leading merchants in one of our western cities. Does it pay? Does it pay to be good? Does it pay to do right? And, my friends, if it does pay to do right, how great must be the remorse that comes when a man realizes that by his own sins, his own follies, his own evil deeds, he has brought poverty and misery upon himself and those he loves? You are not like a man who has been brought up in an irreligious home. You know what the beauties and joys of the gospel life mean. You have seen this happiness revealed in your father’s and mother’s lives. You have felt the joy of the gospel in your own life. If I mistake not, some years ago you joined the church. You have been a worker in the Master’s vineyard. Tell me, are you going to put all that past joy away? Are you going to turn your back upon the only life which you know is worth living? Are you going today to grip hands with sin and then endure the evil results of the sin you have brought upon yourself and your dear ones? Remember that the condi tion of the man who has once known the Christian hope and has departed from It is infinitely worse than that of the man who has never known it at all. for then the specter of remorse points her finger at yob and says. “You have brought this misery upon yourself, and you alone are responsible.” And “Jesus findeth him in the temple and said unto him: Behold, thou art made whole. Sin no more lest a worse thing come upon thee.” But when the backslider relapses into evil he does more than clasp hands with sin. He not only seeks sin, but he turns his back upon God and the good people with whom he used to associate. As the pendulum swinging in one di rection gathers momentum and swings just as far in the othe direction, so the backslider when he goes astray is apt to go further astray because he has once been good. As remorse gnaws at his heart, so ingratitude makes him go Just as far away from good associates ns he possibly can go. A Protege’s Ingratitude. Here, for instance, is a young fellow whom you have made your protege. You felt you had the means and ought to help some one iu life. So this boy appealed to your sympathies, and you took him to your heart. You educated him and started him in business. You pushed him rapidly forward. You gave him au interest iu the firm. You loved him as a son. Time passed on. Suddenly you awoke to an awful fact. You found that this young man whom you had loved had desecrated your home. You found that he had broken every law of justice and honor and truth. The meanest human cur that ever crawled in slime could not l>e more untrue to you than he has been. What do you do? Do you upbraid him and make him suffer the penalty of the law? No. Like a loving father, your heart is broken. You would like to forgive him. You would even like to give him another start. But he will not let you love him. He will flee away from you. He will get just as far away as he can. Like Absalom of old, all that he will do is to associate with your enemies. And all that you can do is to go weeping to your bed chamber as you cry, “Oh, my son Ab salom, my son, my son Absalom! Would God I had died for thee!” fcow, my brother, is that the kind of ingrati tude you mean to show to God? Are you about to drift into sin? Are you going to turn your back upon Christ? Axe you ready to separate yourself from those sweet Christian associa tions which contribute to oar spiritual life? Remember this: No Christian man ever flung himself into sin bat he proved himself an ingrate and his shame led him to get just as far away from God and from bis people as he could go. There is another fact which the Christian must bear wen in mind. Though the gospel life grows sweeter and purer and more triumphant the longer a man lives it, yet the old scars of sin remain Indelible. And when a Christian backslides it Is like the re lapse of an attack of typhoid fever or pneumonia. The relapse Is always more dangerous than the first attack. Then the ^ physical organism Is weakened. Then the disease can the more easily attack the vital parts. Yon and I had better beware. We ought never to let those old wounds of sin reopen. If they are once allowed to bleed again there will be a hemorrhage which will sap away our lives. Struck In Same Place. You know there is an old proverb among the soldiers that in time of war no two bullets ever struck twice in the same place. But that Is not always true. Dr. Ryan in hia book entitled “Under the Red Crescent” gives a vivid account of the siege of Ealafat. The bullets were falling in a perfect hurricane. Suddenly there came tum bling over the wall a monster shell, and It crashed into the ground and bnrst, tearing a great bole out of the earth as large ns a house. A poor frightened mother gathered her three children about her and ran to this bole for protection. But hardly had she set tied herself there than there was heard the singing of another shell flying from a gun two miles away, and It Hang it lelf Into that hole and tore those four human lieln^s into shreds. "Ob.” you say. "that was horrible: that wasgrew- soine: that was overpowering!” Yes. It was. It was tragic liecause It was so unusual for two shells to strike the same place. Hut 1 want to tell you that when i^atan aims his guns for bom bardment he has been hitting us iu the same way for the last twenty years. And, just as a prizefighter can keep tapping sm adversary In the same place over the heart until he saps away his antagonist’s strength, so Satan can keep battering at the old wounds of our former sins and open them in their weakened condition until at last we fall before his blows.ns helpless as the trembling fawn before the plunge of a jungle tiger. Be\ are of that old sin. O man. if you stai. It again iu its bleed ing in all probabJity you will never close It up. Beware! I have heard my father again and again tell this tragic story: In his Philadelphia church be had an elder he dearly loved. The elder was a Scotchman who stood about six feet two and was magnificently propor tioned. He was a nobleman in brain and in heart. He was one of those great, big, lovable fellows ^ ho hold you with a grip of steel. This man. then nearly sixty years of age, had been dissipated In his youth. He had once been a drunkard. But for forty years of his fife he had lived a pure, true, consistent Christian life. But one day, under a hot summer sun, he became dizzy with a sunstroke. He stepped into a nearby drugstore for help. The druggist, not knowing his old weakness, gave him a glass of liquor. That one glass revived the old passion. He started forth from that drug store to the nearest saloon. He drank until he was drunk. He drank himself into the gutter. And in six months he drank himself into the grave. Beware, O man, of that old sin! When I was a hoy I beard John B. Gough talking along the same lino. There he stood before me, an old gray haired man. 1 suppose he had per suaded more people to sign the tem perance pledge than any man who has ever lived. lie was not only a leader of men, but the leader of leaders in the temperance reform. And yet that man, who for forty years had been pleading the temperance cause, said "Man. if you have once been a drunk ard never dare trust yourself with this sin. It has been nearly half a century since the old passion, by the grace of God, lost its hold on me. But the old passion Is still there. It is manacled and kenneled, but it is there. I would no more touch a glass of liquor than I would dare take a dagger and drive It in my heart. I would no more dare touch a piece of brandied mince pie than I would dare touch a lighted match to a gunpowder magazine. It is there. The old slumbering passion is there, ready to 1)0 awakened at a word.” And yet some people suppose that because they have been resisting sin ten. twenty, forty, fifty years the old forces of sin are dead. Beware, O man! The relapse of sin Is always more dangerous than the first condi tion. The passion is still there. It Is there In your sinful heart. When We Are Not Afraid. It is when we are not afraid of sin that the dangers of sin become four fold. Travelers tell us that the wolves of Mexico have a strange way of catching the wild horses. These horses have the speed of the wind. It is al most impossible for a single cowboy to catch one. The cowboys when they wish to run them down have relays of pursuers. First one set of cowboys will chase the horses; then another re lay will take up the run; then another and another, until at last the horses are caught by the lasso. But it is only when they are completely tired that they are caught; therefore it would be impossible for the wolves to catch them unless they used strategy, for the wolves’ flight is not as swift as the horses’. This is the way the wolves kill the wild horses of the Mexican plains: First a couple of wolves come out of the woods and begin to play together like two kittens. They gambol about each other and run backward and for ward- Then the herd of horses lift their startled heads and get ready to stampede. But the wolves seem to be so playful that the horses, after watch ing them awhile, forget their fears and continue to graze. Then the wolves in their playing come nearer and nearer, while other wolves slowly and stealthily creep after them. Then snddenly the enemies surround the herd and make one plunge, and the horses are strag gling with the fangs of the relentless foes gripped in their throats. In a similar way our old sins cunningly at tack us. They play about os and keep playing around us, and they look so harmless, and we feel so strong. Bat suddenly they make a plange, and tt)p old wounds are reopened, and we are helpless in the grasp of the monsters of sin. Beware of that relapse Into sin. “Behold, thou art made whole. Sin no more lest a worse thing come unto thee.” A Thrilling Incident. Bat, though Christ is speaking the same thought as Paul spoke lu Corin thians when he said, “Wherefore let him that thinketh be standeth take heed lest he fall,” thank God, Christ does not stop there. He warns the man at the pool of Bethesda. bat be also teaches the doctrine that he is the Christ of the backslider. When Christ starts forth to save an Immortal soul, he is no respecter of persons. He can save the backslider. There is an Inc! dent told of the famous Edward Irv ing, the eloquent preacher. When a boy in Scotland, with his little sister he went down on the sands of Solway Firth to meet his uncle, who was com ing to visit their home. When the tide comes in there it comes with a rush. It sweeps on like a flood. All the peo ple there know this danger of the on- rushing sea and guard against it, hut these little children forgot the time c* the tide. They were playing in n little pool of water. Suddenly n horseman dashed down from the mountain side. Without a word he came up on a run, grabbed the two children, flung them across the saddle and started for the hills. Faster and faster followed the rising tide, hut at last the horseman and his precious load were saved. Then the uncle saw that he had saved his own brother’s children, who had come out to meet him. So it is with Christ. It matters not who the sinner may be nor whether he has sinned seventy times seven. If you gojout to meet Christ, he will save you from the tidal waves of sin and save you now. God works through natural and hu man agencies as well as by his word and power. This, pool of Bethesda may have l>eou merely a geyser or a mineral spring. It is a better remedy that I offer you. It never ceases. It never loses its power. Lift op thy bleeding hand, O Lord; Unseal that cleansing tide. We have no shelter from our sins But in thy wounded side. [Copyright, 190S, by Louis Klopsch.] From the Eating House Viewpoint. Representative Francis W. Cushman of Washington, the humorist of the house, was born in Iowa. When he was a boy he and a friend started west. They walked. The going was not very good, and when they reached Omaha Cushman’s friend decided that was far enough west for him and stayed. Cushman stayed for a time, too, and both of the emigrants got jobs as waiters in the railroad eating house. After Cushman had saved a little money he went on to Washington. His friend decided to stay in the eating house, and so they separated. When Cushman had been elected to congress the first time he stopped off at Omaha and found his friend still working in the eating house. “What are you doing now, Frank?" the old friend asked. “Why, I am living in Washington, and I am a congressman now. I have been elected to congress.” “You don’t say,” commented the friend. “Ain’t you sorry you didn’t stay here? You might have been boss of this eating house if you hadn’t gone trapesing off there farther west.”—Sat urday Evening Rost. RHEUMATIC FOLKS!
