I weeks, and considering the weather.
| a nice crowd was present to hear
him -peak. Mr. Lysinger showed
himself a forceful speake'r and u e<i
for his subject "The relation ot the
I law to the Gospel". In discussing
i his subject, among other things, he
.'aid: "The Law of God as found in
the Ten Commandments, had always
heen in existence, for'where there is
no law there is no transgression,
| Romans 4:15, and sin is the trans
gression of the law. 1 John 3:4."
He further said: "We are all sin
ners of the same order, for we all
break the same law that branded
Adam a sinner and Cain a murderer
and all men who have lived in this
world sinne'rs. Romans 5:12,13."
3ffr. Lysinger said in his sermon,
"Adventists ae o.ften charged wth
teachng that men can be saved by
keeping the law, but there is noth
ing farther from the truth" he said,
"fo'r we all sin by being born into this
world sinners, all have inherted the
same snful nature, all have broken
the same Divine law, and so all
must be saved thru the same divine
sacrifice, Jesus Christ. Acts 4:10
12; 16:31." He said "The law points
out our sins but cannot take them
away any more than the mi'rror con
correct the errors in our toile t, but
as the mirror sends us to the wash
basin, so the law sends us to Christ,
Galatians 3:23-26." He said: "This
is the gospel-a liviing faith in the
sacrfce of Chrst beng able to cleanse
us from all sn-this is the olny power
that ever has or ever can save from
sin. Rom. 1:16, 17; 10:9, 13; Eph.
2: 8-10."
