"EXCEPT YK REPENT."
It is nW good theology for any
one or any people to say that be
cause others suffer great calami
ties, or what the world terms mis
fortunes, that Uiey were specially
wicked or sinners above all others.
Nor is it good reason apart from
any theological consideration. It
may or it may not be so. Yet
there are instances on record where
God has selected certain ones from
among others and inflicted dire
punishment upon them because of
their great wickedness. Tyre and
Siden, Sodom and Gomorrah are
among them. Nineveh was under
sentence of destruction in "forty
days" and only escaped, not by
any change in the divine purpose,
bat by her speedy repentance and
changing from her wickedness to a
n better lifeV v These, wjth others, are j
that God will imnisii sin. The
fate that overtook them
stands as a monument of warning
to all others. God will punish sin,
surely so, though He may bear
long first We mean sin unre
pented of and persisted in. Even
then, we may not wholly escape
from it in this life. The marks of
its punishment may still be left
upon us. The immutable law of
Heaven is that sin will work out
its own punishment and its wages
is death. Death temporal is inev
itable. Death spiritual and eternal
may follow or it may be escaped.
When the cup of iniquity is full,
the destruction comes as a speedy
whirlwind in most cases, yet others,
for wise and good purpose, may re
main a little longer to "heap up
wrath against the day of wrath."
Just why this is, we may not be
enabled to know. Mysterious are
the ways of Providence. To us
they are past finding out.
Because God has made examples
of some, as in the cases already
given, let not others that have es
caped, boast of their goodness or
glory in the thought that they are
better than others. It is the lot of
humanity to suffer by reason of si n
.. in rn worm. "Man mat is norn

reason oi superior sirengui are
multiplied into "four score years,
yet is his strength labor and sor
row." Good men and even cities
have suffered by reason of the
wickedness of others. They, also,
Buffer by reason of their own mis
takes and sins committed through
ignorance. And while they may
suffer these temporal punishments
or calamities, it does not follow
that they are to be lost and pun
ished forever. A man mav suffer
death for some crimes he has com
mitted against the laws of his
country, but he may obtain (he
mercy of God, for there is forgive
ness with Him, and escape from
endless death. A thief went with
the Saviour from the cross to par
adise, because the latter's blood
was then flowing from His side for
the remission of sins, and he said,
in the penitency of his heart, "Lord
remember me when thou comest
into thy kingdom." St. Paul was
"ready to be offered" by the hands
of the cruel tyrant, Nero, but he
rejoiced in hope of a crown of right
eousness that fadetli not away.
Temperal calamity, or punish
ment does not mean spiritual or
eternal death. An earthquake
shakes this city to pieces, or the
e,i ftiafio belches forth its lava and

ers just as wicked, or more so have
escaped. Think ye that those
"Gallileans, whose blood Pilate
mingled with their sacrifices,
Or those eighteen, upon
whom (he tower in Siloam fell,
and slew them, were
. sinners above all men that dwelt
in Jerusalem" "because they suf
fered such things ? I tell you nay,"
said the Saviour; "but unless ye
repent, ye shall all likewise per
ish." The blood may never min
gle in the sacrifices, or the life be
crushed out by the falling of a
tower, but to perish eternally, with
out repentance, as these men per
ished temporally, is as sure asdeath
itself. "Except ye repent, ye shall
- all likewise perish." The living

be that the Northern branch of it

so. We have vet to see much, if
not to say any, necessity for it here
and think that Church is largely
making a useless expenditure of j
money and labor in the Southern I
country ; and we hold the same in
relation to the Southern Church in
the North. While that Church is
making but little headway in the
South, it does not follow that Meth
odism is not progressive. The
Northern wing of the Church does
not represent Methodism here.
The Southern Methodist Church is
making rapid progress. The skv-enty-fivk

membership during the past ec
clesiastical year, show that there is
a tide of progress and which way
it is drifting.
For Tlic Advocate.
Please Answer Those (Juestioiis.
Was Christ's humanity depraved,
or was it not ? It it was not de
praved, how could His sufferings
answer for a depraved race1 ?
If his humanity was depraved
without making him a sinner, why
do ministers of the gospel call chil
dren sinners on the ground of de
pravity ?
1 would like to know the
Church's view upon these quest ions.
They maybe considered out of place
in a religious paper; but (hey are
nevertheless in some minds and
there .'s need of an explanation.
Truth is not fearful of the light ;
for like gold the oftener it is rub
bed, the brighter it shines.
I am of opinion that a correct so
lution of these questions will re
move a good deal of darkness that
nangs upon ine noiai.,; .ijiii mi
- - -
R. L. Abernkth v.
.... .
I Answering the above in the
order presented, we say :
1. Christ's humanity wan de
praved. Otherwiso he was not
"very man," a perfect human be
ing, and could not have been "in
all points tempted like as we are."
2. Otherwise Jlissullenngs would
not have answered for the de
praved race. In Him there was a
blending of perfect divinity and
humanity. He was the (loi-man.
As such He represented the human
as well as the divine side in the
sacrilice which He made. If His
human nature had not been de
praved the representation from
that side would have been imper
fect and the sacrifice incomplete.
3. His humanity was depraved,
but He was not a sinner ulle
knew no sin" ; that is, in the sense
of being practically guilty of it;
"Neither was guilt lound in his
mouth" and we think it in error
to call children sinners on the
(round ot their deiraviiy. The
seed of sin in the heart may tilt
the nature so that it has as natural
a tendency to sin as the sparks to
ascend, but it does not make the
child a sinner in the ordinary sense
of the word. The child becomes a
sinner when there is practical de
velopment, or when there is either
or both denial and external ex
pression of this seed-principle. A
sinful or depraved nature is not
necessarily sin. "Sin is the trans
gression of the law," in mind or
overt act.
4. In rioint of specific Creed the
Church In its "articles of religion."
expresses no "view upon these
questions," but so lar as we have
observed, the generally expressed
opinion in relation to children, is
that they are classed as sinners,
but will be saved by virtue of the
atonementof Christ if they diein an
infantile state before they become
actual sinners by transgression.
Dr. Ralston, in a little book, known
as "Bible truth, orOmniun Gather
rum," reasons well to show that sin
may be elsewhere than "in the
overt act,1' that it may be in the
thought of the heart. He gives
scriptural quotations, which are
gratuitous in this case, proving no
more than that sin may be found
in a mental exercise, which every
intelligent mind readily admits.
The sinful thought is no more
than a mental act, or internal
expression or assertion of the seed
principle. When infants reach a
point in life at which this principle
begins to assert itself in the exer
cise of the mind they may be prop
erly called sinners and not until
then. When it is exercised in the
mind it will soon express itself in
words and deeds.
But these are metaphysical ques
tions upon which few, if any, are
able to express themselves to their
own satisfaction or to others.
While they mav not be wholly out
of place in a religious paper we do
not rqre to have inv rlisnnaainn of

Here is how he tells it :
An American friend in Florence,
Italy, advised us to stop at the
llote de Saxe in Brussels. We
did so. As soon as the rooms had
been selected and our luggage de
posited therein, I went down to
the manager s office and told him
that we were from America, that
we expected to stay a week, and
wanted him to make us a rate, we
did not like the usual ltemiJl
stating the price of each roonrfHSJin, u
fire, attendant, breakfast, luncn,
dinner, and extra dish. We were
tired of all this, and asked him to
make us out a daily rate for board,
including all things. He did so,
and we were satisfied. On the
second day, as we were entering
the dining room, the manager met
us and the following conversation
was heard by all the guests :
"You do not drink wine you all
drink water. I shall have to add
five francs a day to your pension?"1
"What! five francs a day for the
wine we don't drink!"
"Yes, it is the rule of the house,
printed and hung up in each room,
that guests who do not call for
wine will be charged extra, and
you will have to suhmit."
"Submit! did you say t An
American submit! No, sir. When
dinner is over, make out my bill
and order down my luggage."
"I am a good man; 1 am a just
man ; I do not want to rob you.
Please drink only two small bot
ties, and remain.''
"No, sir ; I shall leave."
"Sorrv very sorry," quoth the
landlord.
As soon as t ho soup had been
served the head-waiter handed me
a wine-list, saying
"The governor says you 'must
submit to the rule of the house,
and order wine.
"Go back and tell the governor
that not one of us will submit."
So, according to promise, we Bet

"The earth is the Lord's and the
fullness thereof, the world and they
that dwell therein." Every one
has control of his own either direct
ly or indirectly. God has made
special promises to his people which
often require direct control to ful
fill. The fulfillment of his promise to
Noah was the destruction of the
antediluvians; to Abraham de
stroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. The
hand that saves the believer neces
sarily destroys the unbeliever. The
Christian's hope is the sinner's ter
ror. He lead Moses and Joshua as
a father his children. He called na
t u re, from the very beginning, with
all its hidden forces out of its ordi
nary course, whenevergreatergood
could be effected by it. His prom
ises are sure, this the Christian
hope, here he rests. Tdiough the
earth be removed, and mountains
be carried into the midst of the sea,
the Lord of hosts is with him the
God of Jacob is his refuge. We
will not fear -for the Lord God om
nipotent reigneth.

Mav the Church in this nation
wake up to insist on the keeping of

ere his judgments overtake us and
overthrow the nation, as he did the

No nation can be Christian with
out the Sabbath.
Its violation is practical infidel
ity to begin with and runs with
electric speed into atheism. This
would be the universal verdict in
an individual case somebody is
responsible for national sins, which
is the great question with us.

THE KAIIjROAD ItltA KKMAN.
The following pomes from the far West,
was written by a brakenian on the Missouri
i'acific Knilroad, who wns accidentally
wounded nnd composed it while confined to
his bed and is published by request. Kd.
Dust grimed features, weather-beaten,
Hands that show the scars of toil
Do you envy him Ills station,
Patient tiller of the soil ?
In the storm or in the sunshine,
He must mount the speeding train.
Ride outside at post of duty,
Heeding not the drenching rain.
In the pleasant summer weather,
Standing on the car-tops high,
lie can view the changing landscape,
As he rushes swiftly by.
While ho notes the beauteous picture
Which the lovely landscape makes,
Suddenly aciossjiis dreaming
Comes the quick shrill Mow for brakes.
But when winter's icy fingers
Cover earth with snowy shroud,
And the North wind, like a madman,
Bushes on with shrieking loud,
Then behold the gallant brakenian
Spring to heed the engine's calls,
Running 6'er the icy ear-tops
tQo protect .him It ha falls !
'i.WM.I'aM'icU)aiy - ,
, JU will give yon smile tor smile ; ; ."
Though he Is nothing but a brakenian, .
Do not deem him surely vile,
Speak to htm In kindest language,
Though his clothes are ooarso or plain,
For he has a fearless heart
That feels both Joy and pain.
He may have a widowed mother,
He may be her only joy ;
Mayhap in her heart she's praying
For the safety of her boy.
How he loves that dear old mother !
Toiling for her day by day,
Always bringing her some presents
Every time he draws his pay.
Daily facing death and danger,
One misstep or slip of hand
Sends the poor unlucky brakenian
To the dreaded unknown land.
When we scan our evening paper,
Note what its filled columns say ;
One brief line attracts our notice
One more braKeman killed to-day l"
In her little lonely cottage,
Waiting in the waning light,
Sits the luckless brakeman's mother
She expects her boy to-night
Some one brings the fatal message ;
God have j mercy I bear her pray,
As she reads the (earful story :
"Killed Willie coupling cars to-day ?"
