WHAT IS SIN?
Often people fail to sense the
real danger their souls are in
•'am!? the wrong influence they
leave because they do not under¬
stand what sin is.
“—It is not in man that walk-
eth to direct his own steps.”
Jer. 10:23. God has given some
definitions of sin. It is man’s re¬
sponsibility to learn what God
defines as wrong, and it is to his
Interest to abide by that know¬
ledge.
“—sin is lawlessness.” John 3
:4. When one fails to abide by
the law. he is lawless or a trans¬
gressor. The dictionary defines
‘•fransgress;’’ to pass beyond, as
a 1 * limit. Therefore, going beyond
the law is sin.
One should easily see the wr¬
ong, then in wearing names un¬
authorized by the law of Christ
(New Testament). The use of
mechanical music in the wor¬
ship is sin because one must go
beyond the law of Christ to get
it,'because it is not authorized
in the New Testament. All or¬
ganizations (in religion) not
. found in the law of God are sin¬
ful, for going beyond the limits
of the law is sin.
“—whatsoever is not of faith
v U stm” Rom. 14:23. Faith is u-
§pd ift this passage in contrast
to doubt. A person sins when

doing a thing which he doubts
is right. If he does not have the
assurance of faith that it is
right, he is condemned in the
sight of God if he does it.
How can one be free of doubt
that denominational organi¬
zations, names and creeds, and
the use of mechanical music are
right when they find NO auth¬
orization in the Word of God
for any of them. Thus, one can
not use these things in religion
with the assurance of faith, sin¬
ce faith comes by the Word of
God and His Word does not au¬
thorize them. Then to use any
of them is sin, and the wages of
sin is death. Rom. 6:23.
This is one reason why the
churches of Christ are so strict
in staying with the Bible, and
why we try to persuade men to
do Bible things in Bible ways,
and call Bible things by Bible
names. Then we stay in the
realm of divine assurance, of
faith, and need have no doubt.
“To him therefore that know-
eth to do good, and doeth it not,
to him it is sin.” James 4:17.
The religion of Christ is not
negative but distinctly positive
and aggressive. It’s philosophy
goes far beyond that of the th¬
ree monkeys, who “see no evil,
hear no evil, say no evil.” Chris¬
tianity involves doing no evil,

but likewise involves doing good
When a person neglects to do
the right thing his religion is
inadequate and God counts him
a sinner.
You may know how to obey
the gospel, but your refusal to
do all the bad things you know
does not keep you from being
a sinner before God. YOU Must
DO THE RIGHT THING.
You may know how to wor¬
ship God. Failure to worship
is sin.
You may know to do any num¬
ber of good things, like serving
mankind, helping the weak,
spreading the Truth, or caring
for the poor. Your negligence in
doing these things will be held
against you in the day of judg¬
ment.
“All unrighteousness is sin.”
John 5:17. To be wicked, un¬
clean in life and speech, or un-
scripural is sin. Lewdness, sen¬
suality, and filthiness in con¬
versation or conduct is sin. To
become guilty of sin as is de¬
fined by Jehovah in any of
these four definitions is to con¬
demn your own soul. By the
proper process of obedience you
may be forgiven. It is well to
re-think your conceptions of
sin, to examine your own heart,
life and religion to see if you
could be sinning unwittingly.

This is not Aladdin’s lamp. It’s just an ordinary
railroad lantern. And yet . . .
Tonight, railroaders will swing lanterns like this
all along th« 8,000-mile Southern Railway System.
And at their signals, long freight trains will start
moving, roll out of yards and across the miles.
Loaded into the cars will be vast quantities of
things to fulfill the wishes of folks in the South.
There will be building materials, food, coal, clothing,
machinery all kinds of supplies and equipment
...
for farms, factories, stores and homes.
Yes, a wave of the lantern at night.. .or hand and
