DEATH BEFORE DISHONOUR. "In this age of corruption, when our adversary, the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about seeking whom he may devour, I see the necessity of lifting my voice in warning. `Watch and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.' There are many who possess brilliant talents, who wickedly devote them to the service of Satan. What warning can I give to a people who profess to have come out from the world, and to have left its works of dark- ness ? to a people whom God has made the repositories of His law, but who, like the pre- tentious fig tree, flaunt their apparently flourishing branches in the very face of the Al- mighty, yet bear no fruit to the glory of God? Many of them cherish impure thoughts, unholy imaginations, unsanctified desires, and base passions. God hates the fruit borne upon such a tree. Angels, pure and holy, look upon the course of such with abhorence, while Satan exults. Oh that men and women would consider what is to be gained by transgressing God's law ! Under any and every circumstance, transgression is a dishon- our to God and a curse to man. We must regard it thus, however fair its guise, and by whomsoever committed. "As those who practice these defiling sins are steadily increasing in the world, and would intrude themselves into our churches, I warn you to give no place to them. Turn from the seducer. Though a professed follower of Christ, he is Satan in the form of man ; he has borrowed the livery of heaven that he may better serve his master. You should not for one moment give place to an impure, covert suggestion ; for even this will stain the soul, as impure water defiles the channel through which it passes. "Choose poverty, reproach, separation from friends, or any suffering, rather than to defile the soul with sin. Death before dishonour or the transgression of God's law, should be the motto of every Christian. As a people professing to be reformers, treasuring the most solemn, purifying truths of God's word, we must elevate the standard far higher than it is at the present time. Sin and sinners in the church must be promptly dealt with, that others may not be contaminated. Truth and purity require that we make more thorough work to cleanse the camp from Achans. Let those in responsible positions not suffer sin in a brother. Show him that he must either put away his sin or be separated from the church. "When the individual members of the church shall act as true followers of the meek and lowly Saviour, there will be less covering up and excusing of sin. All will strive to act as if in God's presence. They will realize that His all-seeing eye is ever upon them, and that the most secret thought is known to Him. The character, the motives, the desires and purposes, are as clear as the light of the sun to the eye of the Omnipotent. But few bear this in mind. The larger class by far do not realize what a fearful account must be rendered at the bar of God by all transgressors of His law. "Can you who have professed to receive such great light, be content with a low level ?" —E. G- White, T. Vol. 5, p. 146. 2 THE JAMAICA VISITOR
