"MI'S GREATEST
El" IS SUBJECT
OF HID BIEVER
Sin Is Turning Away of
Man From God and the
Glories and Splendors of
Earth
The subject of Father Blever’s ser
mon at St. Peter's Church last night
was "The World’s Greatest Evil.”
Father Blever spoke In part as fol
lows:
Only two things deserve the name
of "GreatGod the Sovereign Good
and'Sin, the Sovereign Evil.
What Is ain? It Is a transgression
of those eternal moral laws based in
the very nature of God. Sin Is the
turning away of man from God and
the turning to the creature. See the
glories of earth, the splendors of the
Armament. They are not conscious of
the God who gave them being. Man
must be their Interpreter and offer to
God through his ministry the silent
homage of Inanimate and irrational
creation. When man In the use of
the creature forgets God, he falls In
his duty and commits sin.
Staaer Rebel.
Sin to an audacious revolt and the
sinner a rebel. Amid the general con
cert of creation there Is only one dis
sentient voice. Here on our rock built
little earth, man dares challenge in his
Impious frensy the right which the
Creator possesses to his homage.
Sin Implica contempt. The creature
and God are placed In Juxtaposition by
the sinner and the Creator Is rejected
and the creature preferred.
Sin Is the blackest Ingratitude for
the sinner makes use of God's gifts to
Insult Him. He la worse than the
aoldler who turns his weapons against
his own land; worse than the nursling
that tears to pieces the bosom that
nourishes him.
From the punishment of sin learn
its nature. Sin deprived the Angels
of the glories of heaven and hurled
them Into the abyas of hell. The first
sin committed on our earth convulsed
the universe. The creatures made for
man's happiness have become the In
struments of his sorrows, the earth the
theater of his guilt, haa become the
place of his agony and death.
Look at the terrifying catastrophes
scattered through the history of the
human race. If the snowy plains and
hills of ancient Europe are removed
today with the blood of Its noblest
sons, If the valleyn re-echo with the
wails of widowed mothers and orphan
ed children, oh! Is it not because the
passions of men have been unhushed
and God's laws have been trampled
upon. The scourge of an angry God
han been put Into the hands of frensled
nations, to remind them that there Is
a God in Israel and that Hie eternal
laws must not be despised.
Repulsive and Ugly.
8ln even It not forbidden by God,
Is still so lntunslcally ugly and repul
alve that no rational being ought to
ccmmlt it.
Is not the work of the liar thelf
murderer, seducer, the blasphemer the
adulterer supremely revolting and
dreadful in its consequences.
Father Blever finished his sermon
by describing a scene enacted 2000
years ago on Calvary and pointed to
the crags of Christ as the monument
cre~^*a by th® “'oners of the world.

Science Confirms the Lore of the Indians
Long before the coming of the
white man, the Seneca Indians
collected mineral oil from the
surface of water in pits dug in
the oil sands. A French mis
sionary visited the Western Penn
sylvania wilderness in 1627 and
was told that the crude petroleum
thus obtained was good fot rheu
matism and skin diseases. Used
internally, the Indians declared,
it killed a serpent that lived in
he intestines and caused ab
dominal pains.
Today the twentieth century
physician prescribes mineral oil as
the safest, most rational treatment
for constipation. Nuiol is the
modern version of the a Indian
specific. It is not a laxative or a
purgative. _ Its action is to soften
the intestinal contents and so
make natural movements easy.
