By WILLIAM T. ELLI8,
B ENFATII nil tta diversity of'news
In the daily papers, there la one
grim, ugly undercurrent which Is
uever absent for a day; namely, the
existence In the day's events of the thing
called sin. Debates aud books sud con-
hands, that is to say, not of this creation,
nor yet through the blood of goats aud
calves, but through his own blood, entered
In once for nil Into the holy place, having
obtained eternal redemption. For If the
Mood of goats and hulls, nnd the nshes of
a heifer sprinkling them that lmve hoeu
defiled, sauctlfy unto the cleanatug of the
flesh, how nnii'li more shall the blood of
Christ, who tr “
ffrwl himself
cleanse your conscience from dead works
to serve the living God?”
This emphasis upon the fact of sin, nnd
Its dcadlluess. Is peculiar to Judlaam nnd
Christianity. The uon-Ctirlattan religions
dal questions of the time are multiplying
at a rapid* rate; but where Is the church’s
dear declaration that the very genius and
core of these Is that terrible faetor In hu
man society which the Itlble designates
ns sin? All the modern terms for the roots
of undesirable social conditions are nothing
less than synouymn for the ltlble-old curse
of nln.
President Woodrow Wilson recently at
tracted B’lde attention by bis dodnratlnn at
the Jamestown exposition that the henda of
law-brenklng corporations should he sent to
Jail. Hts Idea wan to make responsibility
particular and Individual. Similarly, If we
were to stop tnlktng about the Ills of our
time as If they were abstract things, and
talk more about the fact of Individual aln-
ning. we might hope far an earlier solution
of some of our problems. ”l*nt up” to the
inan responsible his accountability, and he
will be likelier to mend his ways. Hut so
long ns conditions, and not persons, ars
accused, he will disregard clamor aifd agi
tation.
Tha Man at tha Top.
The present day has wandered far from
the concrete conception of sin taught to
the early Israelites In the Scripture which

25: fA* “fu* thl* JTSini? a°nietlmeB necodnt themselves the chief of

speech of the day abounds, Instead, alnners. Indeed, It may be safely said that
- Jgtng In certain forms of sin until hs Is
glutted.
The Seven Deadly Sine.
It will l>e said that alna depend upon
definition. The ripest taint will mourn at
n great sin that which lower standard*
would not adjudge aa a sin at all. Tha
fluer one's spiritual life the keener nne'e
sense of sin. Thus It comes about, para
doxlcally, that they who are least sinful

lowest forces of the uether regions.
Whoever knows human nature as It Is must
shudder at a contemplation of the depths
Itnwhleh man can descend.
■M|e plain truth is that man docs not

sins would not be found at the top of
juclety, where birth, breeding, education
■nd wealth have presumably done their
best. As Dr. Charles A. ParkUurat once
forcefully pointed out. New York city never
more thoroughly resembles the Infernal re
gions than on the night of some great In
tercollegiate athletic event. The news dis
patches frequently make the public poign
antly aware of the heinous sins of men and
B’onien of eminent snctnl position: so that
the question haa been raised'whether “high
society” Is not really ”Iob* society.” Evo
lution Is uot the remedy for sin; for, given
a chance, man reverts to type.
■ Among the Benighted People.
A sharp ififference between the old He
brews and the Idolatrous people by whom
they were surrounded w*a the emphasis
which the Hebrew ritual laid upon sin.
lAa the lesson story shows, the high priest,
after ceremonial cleansing nnd clothing, of
fered a goat on the great dny of atonement,
aa a sacrifice for the people's- sin, and
another goat, tke scapegoat, waa sent Into
the wlldernesa to l>ear away the people’s
sins. Aa the Epistle to the Hebrews shows.
Ings rtf the
niton the cross by Jesus, “the Iamb of God
that taketh away the aln of the world."
Hays the Inspired writer:
having come a high grtest
a sense of sin Is one nerer-sbaent proof
of spirituality. They who are nearest to
the spotless Christ best realise their own
Impurity. He who removes aln first makes
plain its odlousnesa.
Undoubtedly, there has often existed a
strange confusion of mind concerning the
relative magnitude of sins. The church
has created too meny "man-made sins,” and
has put this black brand upon some pr»n*
nor commendable, nnd, happily. It has been
outgrown.
The centuries bare agreed, however, upon
seven forms of moral transgression which
have come to be known nu "The Seven
Deadly Bins.” Many old books have been
written upon them, and a recent little vol
ume of this name by Jamea Stalker afforda
Interesting and profitable rending. In this
compass ft la only possible to name the
•even deadly sins, which are, pride, avarice,
sensuality, envy, appetite, anger und sloth.
A consideration or these is as timely to
day at when the divines of the middle ages
thundered against them. They are popular,
contemporaneous sins, and Important fac
tors In the life of oar own time. After
we have got through with them* perhaps
we shall fie ready for a discussion of the
numerous "problems” proposed by the aocl*
ologtfltO.

Chicago, Aug. It.—Flood waters just
across the Chicago river on the north
side, which are still raging unabated,
have driven hundreds of residents from
their homes In the darkness early this
morning; thousands of dollars worth
of property are being destroyed; at
least twenty horses have been drown
ed and more people are fleeing for
their safety every minute.
The flood started at midnight with
the bursting ofn thirty-six-inch water
main which supplied the north side.
Already the foundations of a score
of houses and buildings In a district
four blocks square are Inundated.
The Stock Hotel, six stories high, Is
about to collapse. In come places the
water already has attained a depth
of 14 feet. The flood resists all ef
forts to check It.
Police ambulances and patrol wag
ons are moving hundreds from their
homes. Two thousand families have
been rendered homeless.
The streets suddenly have been con
verted Into a whirling stream carrying
all manner of household goods and
property before them. In some places
the water has reached the second floors
of dwelling houses and many are
threatened with momentary collapse.
The district Inundated Is next to
the Polish colony In the sixteenth
ward, the moat thickly congested area
In Chicago. Italians predominate and
*lx and seven families dwell In one
house. The hardship Inflicted upon
them Is great and most of them have
been deprived of all of* their house-
hold possessions.

WOULDN'7 TR\ SUICIDE
IF NOBODY TOOK INTERESI
Jock Horner, tbe former baseball player
who recently attempted to commit suicide
while locked up at the police station, was
preparing to repent the performance Thurs
day morning, when Turnkey Whitley bqw
him. Horner had been itslccp, and when be
woke tip he felt bad* which waa not to be
marveled nt. considering the condition he
wos In when arrested the night before.
"Jack." said Turnkey Whitley. Vyon can
twist that handkerchief up nnd put It
around your neck and hang yourself If you
wnnt to, but I'm not going to cut yon
dowu thla time. I'm tired of Indng both
ered with you. If you wnnt to do it, here’#
your chance, for I'm going out nnd eat
brenkfust.”
The bluff went. Jnck went on tying the
handkerchief around hla neck, bat when
the turnkey didn’t come back he derided
a drink of water would taste good, and he
got up nnd got It. Then he borrowed a
cigarette and felt better. Perhaps If he had
known the turnkey was watching all tbe
time, however, he would have carried out
hla plan to strangle himself.
