Punishments Proportionate—Tho8ins Which God Styles Scarlet, Men Often Consider Merely White Lies—Tho 8carlet Sins Theology,Condemns Of ten Less Important With God. Richmond, Va., April (J.-B I students of all de nominations were deeply interested in Pastor Rus sell's visit today. A series of special Bible lectures bas been In progress for some months and Pastor Russell bas been brought here, evidently, for climacteric re [RSTOg.gUSSEU.1 sults. We report his discourse from the test. "Come now, let us reason to gether, saith the Lord though yuur sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow."—Isaiah 1:18. Although thoroughly loyal and very reverential, the Pastor bas evidently cut loose from tbe creeds. He admit ted that all contain kernels of Truth, but declared that these are burled in a mass of chaff—bidden in God-dishon oring theologies so unreasonable that tbeir best friends prefer never to think of them. Tbe Pastor claimed that the repul Siveness of the creeds binders people from looking for the trutb which they contain. This is well, he said. Why should we search for Truth in various creeds when we have tbe Bible? He urged Christians to abandon tbe creeds and unite as Bible students, intent on knowing the testimony of God's Word and of obtaining the guidance of the Holy Spirit in the understanding of it. Jesus held up to scorn tbe inconsist encies of His day. If here today, He would show us many Inconsistencies in our estimation of sin and righteous ness. the Pastor believed. Our Lord declared that while tbe religious lead ers of His time were careful to tithe all thir increase, they outraged the very spirit of God's Law of righteous ness ttiat in mean ways they took tbe bread from tbe poor, and to divert at tention from tbeir course they hypo critically lengthened tbeir prayers. It was not that praying was wrong* or that tithing was objectionable, but tbeir recognition of these showed th£m all the more responsible in "devouring widows' bouses." and other sharp prac tises. whereby they took advantage of tbe uufortunate. This principle still operates, said Pastor Russell. Today, as in our Master's time, there Is a way of keeping within the law and ou£ of the penitentiary, while at the same time the spirit of the law is outraged and trampled in the dust of avaricious money-getting. Now. as tli"n. tnono.v-lovers pose as philanthro pists. and hold honorable places in chim-hianit.v. Tbe Pastor spared not this class. He declared that religious hypocrites are the worst of sinners in God's sight. Theirs were the most scarlet sins, he Imlieved. Greater and Lesser Sine. Wealth covers a multitude of sins. To be financially unsuccessful is a crime, on account of which many con sider a wife justified in seeking a di vorce. and some churches justified in dropping tbe culprit from their mem bership list. What matters it that Jesus comforted the weary, heavy laden and unsuccessful? What mat ters it that the Scriptures declare that not many rich. wise, great or learned has God called to the Heavenly inher itance. hut chiefly the poor of this world, rich In faith? What matters It that a very rich man has two concubines, besides a wife? What matters It .that his religious In structors know of the fact? He is a supporter of their church! Were he poor, this crime against human and Divine Law would be unforgivable. He would be assured that he would suffer torment throughout eternity! Sins Scarlet and Crimson. Our text discriminates between scar let and crimson, as indicating shades of guilt in the same kind of sin. For instance, murder would be a scarlet sin, if committed by a worldly person but hatred would be crimson—a sin of deep er dye—if cherished by a Christian. As love is tbe fulfilling of tbe Divine Law. so hatred implies its flagrant vio lation. Mankind have inherited sin-tahited blood from Adam. Selfishness of vary ing hues stains every member of the race. Many have not tbe proper focus upon tbe Divine Law. Taking tbe let ter of that Law. they avoid tbe cruder forms of theft adultery, murder—mak ing the same mistake that Israel made. According to Jesus' interpretation of the Law. theft could be committed in tbe heart by coveting, by stealing tbe business or reputation of another. Sim ilarly. adultery might he committed without-overt act: and hatred is murder. Increase of knowledge has brought Increased responsibility. But human selfishness bas kept pace.
