Allslon Preaches On “A Fugitive From God,” Last Night I — s Before th" UrgiHit crowd yet pr". ent at the Presbyterian church dur mg the present scries of niectinga, Rev. Allston delivered a very able ,md powerful sermon last night. During his sermon on "A Eugjtive Prom God,” Rev. Allston drew some striking lessons from the life of hu manit.v'H first murderer—Cain. Hr said in part: “A fugitive aud a wand eror shalt thou be tn the ehrtb” is the pronouncement God makes on every

Individual who, like Cain,' rebels against Him. tunm away f>om Him. and alna. Cain became a fugitive from Cod when be began to cherish on hiii lonely wanderings in the land of Nod. He was a fugitive from God before he heard God's expelling words of judgment. His flight from God did not begin when ho slow his brother Abel beside the altar, nor did It begin when his countenance fell In disappointment over the lack of satisfaction In his religious observances. His fugitive life dates back beyond these events. Cain became a fugitive from God wlie nbe begun to cherish a spirit of sellishness, envy and jealousy. The fit of anger, the disputation with Abel, and the deadly blow that rendered him a murderer were only the outworking of Cain's sinful, fugitive spirit. There are more fug Hives from God in the wo-ld tonight than we dream of. And these fugitives are not to be found only in the highways jtnG byways of sin, in the crime-belts of our big cities, in the lodging houses and rescue missions where are the derelicts of humanity. These fugitives, are also to be found in the most respectable aud respected quarters of our best communities. Many of them are found In the church of Christ. Like Cain, they bring their offerings of religious Observance to the altar of God, but they find not satisfaction or joy in their religion because at heart they are fugitives from God. They have allowed the spirit of selfishness, pride, envy, jealousy, revenge, self-will, hatred. unforgiveness, or som<> other form of sin and rebellion against the spirit of God to enter tbeir breasts. The speaker closed by pointing out how tlie mercy of God still follows the fugitive. “God's mark on Cain was indicative of God's mercy. It was to save Cain from being put to death by man. and it offered Cain an opportunity to return to God in penitence and obedience. God’s mercy follows the fugitive today in the appeals of Jesus Chrbtt aud His Holy Spirit. 'Come now. and let us reason together, saith the Lord; though your sins be as scarlet they shall be as white as snow, though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool'.’’ —.— o —
