HE SENTINEL, SEDGCEWICK, ALBERTA SSS -EOPLE S Yondon c lt;A Bible Students envention has been in progress here several days in the London Taber- a macle, Lancaster Gate, W. Pastor Rus: gell delivered two addresses to-day. We sport orie of them, from the text - were your children unholy, but Bow are they holy. 1 Oorinthians 74. The Pastor declared that his text, which differentiated between holy and wot holy infants. was probably the Dasis for much of the confusion which ead prevailed in all denominations on the subject of infant salvation.and in- fast-damnstion gt; Before discussing his. text. he wished to call the attention of his hearers to the fact that about two months ago the Prebyterian Gen- q al Assembly in the United States bad taken a very advanced theological step on this subject. According to telegraphic despatches, it has altered the Presbyterian Confession of Faith a8 to save the non-elect infants as well as. the elect ones. a The thought that God had arrranged . Plan by which some infants would go to Heaven at death, and other in- fants would go to eternal torture, has for, centuries greatly troubled the minds of all Christian people Catho- . that and Protestant. Some said the elect infants would be saved and the non-elect infants would be tortur- edi lt;Others had it that any infadt by Daptism would be brought into the Church and be saved, while infants not:thus baptized or sprinkled would fo to eternal torture. Others had it that none could be saved without re- meration, and these were perplexed Know how infants could be said to Be regenerated. Therefore how could hope that any infants would be faved? -The hearts and the heads of ( ll good people have suffered terribly for many centuries because of these confused ideas. It is gratifying, the Pastor declared. to see that with the Presbyterians, at Yeast. love and sympathy have tri- mpled; and that, so far as they are eoricerned, thirty. thoysand infants daily go to Heaven, instead of going to Hell. Certainly this is a missionary ject. of no mean proportions . At iPhis rate they ino: doubt believe that Meavel: will soon begin to have reas- agespl proportions, as-compared with fell. We regret that the brethren did not take any measures looking toward the relief of the non-elect. infants, of the past who now must number thou- sands of: millions. It is worthy of consideration, aud we trust will have their attention. And since the matter adjusted, why would ptoper thing for all Christian d nom- inations to follow the lead and ex- ample of the Presbyterians? We fear that not many of the other denomin- ations will join th Presbyterians in heir generous work of helping the infants. They might reason that if sil infants dying in infancy are saved, ft might be the safest thing that pai nts could do for their children to in- sure their eternal salvation by kill- ++ ingthem in infancy. Then baby incu- batorS abd various devices medicines, . foods, ete intended for the preser- ation of infants lives might eome to be considered trimental to the eternal interests of the children But how foolish all: such * theories seem How. beautiful by contrast is iS so easily gt; the simple teaching.of the Bible; that the salvation for-all old and. young of heathen lands as well.as of Chris- tion lands is. through the resurrection * Bashi of Messiah's Kingdom through ; enlightening and uplifting, or res- sovmirreeting in Yonger trouble with the errors of the Dark Ages when God s Message, the Bible, is now opening up for His people, shinihg as an electric lamp, in contrast with the tallow-candle dark- mess of the cteeds? Pastor Russsell-declared that he felt great sympathy for the move made by the Presi rian brethren, -but, nevertheless, was unable to agree with their conelusions, believing that the Bible teaches Yealized thatthe Presbyterian view of Election made it-difficult for them to deal with the non-elect, both adults and infants. He found the Scriptures declaring that God is selecting, or lecting the Church from amongst the world, He conceded that those not lected would be properly termed non- elect. But he found nothing in. the Bible to indicate that non-election to foint-heirship in Messiah's Kingdom mean predestination to an eternity of torture. The Pastor realized, too, that the Presbyterian friends must feel. consid- erable embarrassment in trying to ad. fust themselves to their: the: Seereed. For if there are no non-elect infants, then-all infants are elect; and it elect when infants, how could their predestination change with advancing ars? His sympathetic advice to resbyterian brethren is, that the en- tire creed be recast; or; better still, it and all other creeds be aba - d the Bible as a whole be ac- cepted. Then, he argued, all Bible stidents could come together witho: te prejudice for mutual assistante and Br seg growth in grace long je Lines. * While the Pastor meritioned Pres. byterians, bis thought included. all ristian: Presbyterians have beep con- a ann nt its a the CaURE use no reearer or unbaptized.

INFANTS SAVED FROM TORTURE Thirty Thousand Daily Saved From Damnation ence of that mistake, as expressed in our creeds,, our God has been sland- ered. Surely to-day every. thinking Person will concede. tha: uman being planning such atrocities would be a thousand times more devilish than any one known in history, And surely, our. great God, our Greate could not be worse than the worst and most depraved of all His crea- b tures. On the contrary, God must of ne. eessity he the very personification of all the graces Justice. Wisdom, Love and Power. Evidently the God who foreknew and determined to send these 32,000,000 human beings per year to an eternity of torture would not only not be a God 'at all, but would be the most terrible deyil that the human mind could conceive . Bible Students are realizing that a great mistake has gecurred, and that the Bible teaches nothing of the kind we had supposed. Mor and more, as the eyes of their understanding open to- proper interpretations of x Word, they are appreciating the Di- vine character, and the Bible as never before. The Pastor declared that a week from now he will consider. some of the Master s dark sayings, and show how they -have been misinterpreted and misapplied. To-day he. must e ntent, himself . with the subject. in hand, He must discuss God s rela- Fe to the h athen and to in- ants. : As we understand it, said the Pas- tor; our Presbyterian friends - have which formerly read, Elect infants dying in infancy are savyed taking out the word elect and letting it read, Infants dying in infancy are saved. But is this true Do our Presbyterian friends believe this? tome, let us reason together. Aro not the children as well as the more matured members of Adam s famil, born in sin and misshapen. in ini- quity? Are not all of these by nature childrern-of wrath ? Did not every member of Adam s family come un: yder his sentence. and participate in the penalty, or curse, of his sin Dying, thou shalt die ? Is not this the reason that infants die at all? Will not all concede that had. there en no sin there would have be n no death in the human family? Does not St. Paul distinetly state this say- ing, By one man s disobedience sin entered the world, and death as the result sin; and thus death: passed upon all men because all are sin- ners ? Romans 5:12; Psalm 51:5. Surely all Christian people, Pres byterians especially,- will agree with me that the sentence of death passed upon Father Adam and inherited by his race, must needs be s ttled, can- celled; before any of his posterity, old or young, could be released from th penalty. True, we all agree that the death of the Lord Jesus Christ- is the -redemption-price and that He provided it more than eighteen cen- turies ago. But do we not also agree that Jesus death, of itself, saves no- body; that His merit becomes applic- able merely to us of the Church ai such time as we ieve in it and cept it, approp ing it to ourselvest - Is not this the proclamation of the Gospel Age Believe Relieve De swe not remember the Bible declara- tion that we are justified by faith; not by being infants? And do we: not all agree that faith cannot be exer- cised except by more or.less de- veloped . mind? . Hence all should agree that the Scriptural proposition is, that all infants shared in Adam's sentence of death, and have provision also in the redemptive work of Jesus Nevertheless, they can be saved only by coming toa knowledge of God and of Jesus, and by then exercising faith and obedience to the extent of ability. We believe this to be an un- debatable proposition. If this be so th n our Presbyterian brethren overstate the matter when they declare that, all infants dying in infancy are saved. They might -very properly say, All infants: dying in infancy, and verybody else, come under the provision of Divine grace in Christ, and must all be brought to a knowledge of the Truth, that they may be saved; and- then when thus brought to. know the Lord and the terms of salyation, the results will depend upon themselves. If they ac- cept, they may have the Aver STE life provided; if they reject, they will experience the Se Death, We-have already intimated the . teaching of the Bible. Alt mankind came under the Divire curse; or sen- tence of death not. eternal torment. In due time Christ died for the un- ly for every one of them for all those who lived before His cruci- fixion, .and for. all -born since for white Black, old and: young of every nation. Because of this eS redemption, co-extensive . with the curse, or sentence of d ath, there i bea recovery from. the curse of death, All mankind are thus to be mace. sm oabis i - ae Bioen, She death penalty ave the opportun- os. resurrection out of sin and d death conditions k to perfect life condi- tions, Only those .who wilfully and inielligently reject this grace of God will die the Second Death be blotted out-as though they had never. been peish like natural brute beasts. 2 Peter 2:12. ee that thi 4 go. to Sh state' of death. in Bheol,. the glorious So tian: the slee til changed the statement of the siests yote the First Resurrection clase, to TAMED THE OLD SOLDIER, Heavenly glories and hofors and Di- vine nature. Following this, the Church with her Lord will reign as kings and the entire human family, of all ages hationalities and colors. In other words, according to the Bible none have gone to Heaven. As Yes.s said, No man hath ascended into Heaven. (John 3 He infants who have died have gone to the Bible hell, the tomb, and know not anything. They merely await the time when the Kingdom shall be in power, cesses shall begin to operate; and they shall eomexforth from death each in his own band, or company. 1 Corinthians 15:23; Joh h ther theologieat thes There nother ical cory. which has hg an but which claims no oe at foundation, immortal, and. tha at every infant is the present life, , long or short, favorable or unfav able, constitutes the only opportun- ity ever to be enjoyed for reforming sharacter and becoming fit for a bappy eternity. Hence, according to this un criptural theory, the children of unbelievers conceived and born In sin and depravity as ate all man- kind, more or less are unprepared for an eternity of bliss, and - conse- quently must spend that eternity im pain and horror. But let us rid the mind of this false theory, and go by Scripture one. As the Word of God declares, God--only-hath- immortalit: The: fore no infants are immortal. God said The soul that sin shall die, He meant it. en He declared, All the wicked will I de- stroy, He meant it. The penalty upon Adam and his race is death; and therefore children and all others die because of Adam s sin. The worst that can befall the children of unbe lievers would be death. What, then, is the Seripiural hope for the children of unbelievers? It is exactly the same as for the children of saints; namely, that Christ Jesus pur death for every man when He tasted death for Adam; for all are under Adam s sentence of condemnation to death. One man s sin brought the death penalty upon all; therefore the one man s Ransom was the Ransom for all. The children of unbelievers were redeemed, in the most absolute sense from the entire condemnation of death. - Indeed, none but sinners were redeemed. Christ died for the ungodly. Hence, all die; and all need to be redeemed, else they would have no hope of a resurrection. In the Messianic Kingdom, the Resurrection Age,, children of believ- ers will have a little advantage overt the children of unbelievers, in that they will have less depraved organ- isms when awakened. But under the grand: resurrection processes then at work, such disadvantages will soon be overcome. All who are. willing and obedient shall be brought.to a full knowledge of the Truth and full opportunities for complete Restitu- tion, back 40 all that was lost in Adam, for himself and his posterity. In that day it will no more be said, The fathershave eaten a8 sout grape, and the children s teeth are set on edge. very one shall die for his own iniqhity. The soul that sinneth it shall die. Jeremiah 91:29, 30; Ezekiel 18:2-4.. How reasonable are the ways of God How plainly ar they stated in the Word Those who have :the eye and the ear of faith, who are heark- ening to the Word of the living God rather than to- the dead creeds of the Dark Ages have a joy and peace of mind which is a source of strength unknown to others. g According to the Divine arrange- ment, parents are responsible in re- spect to their children. The .con- scientious parent has a wonderful op- portunity to train his children in the nurture and admonition of the When neth it charge his duties under all circum stantes, even the most trying. The Apostle clearly. distinguishes between. the-children-of believers arid the children of unbelievers, His pameny: is that the: children -of un- believers. are without iy. -xelation- ship to God, and without any euper. vision from Him; while the children of believers, because of parental re- lationship, are subjects: of Divine supervision and care. For eas for their parents all things work to gether for good for their. welfare. This Divine supervision on account of their parents will, of course, ter- minate when the individual child comes to years of discretion and- te sponsibility. Then they: must enter into personal relationship with God, or, like the remainder of the world, be outside of any relationship with Him, until the Day of Christ, thousand years long.

Fashionable Shoemaking. A curious craze swept over fashion- able society in England tn 1809, which absorbed the attention of the smart world. A mania for making shoes suddenly obsessed. society.
