HOPKINS COUNTY ECHO, Sulphur Springs, Texas. Friday, July 27, 1962.

(next few years will determine
the course of human history
for centuries to come. Ameri-
ca is the dream of equality,
j the paradise of freedom, and
the symbol of opportunity. Sin
is in every area of American
life. Our nation as a whole
seems to think that. material
things will suffice and we do
not need God to direct qs. Un-
less there is repentance and
confession on the part of the
people, our blessed nation will
be destroyed.
... Qrmpiion.in.Jha., high, places,
of our government, low moral
standards, disregard for the
Lord’s Day, emphasis upon the
material things of life, and
destruction. America has the
Gospel and should win the
world for Jesus. But what will
the historians of the future
write about twentieth century
i America? We who live today
j are furnishing the material
I which the historians of the fu-
ture will record.
The Bible has a message
which America and the other
nations of the world should
consider. The Psalmist sang a j
song of wisdom in the words. 1
“Happy is that people, whose
God is the Lord”. And wise arc
the words of the Proverb:
Righteousness exalteth a na-
tion: but sin is a reproach to
any people. The words of Je-
hovah as he appeared to Solo-
mon are ever a source of chal-
lenge. “If my people which are
called by my name, shall humble
themselves, and pray and seek
my face, and turn from their
wicked ways; then will I hear
from heaven, and will forgive
their sin and will heal their land"

moved into every phase of
man’s life and left a trail of
sorrow, suffering, and death.
The devastating results of sin
are everywhere evident. .
I. Sin Mar* The Individual
When sin captures an indi-
vidual his life is marred. Sin j
always scars and damages a
life. This is why sin has been
called the saddest word in the
world. One of the most attrac-
tive personalities in (he Old
Testament was Saul, the first
king of Israel. H,e was a tall
man of fine appearance. He
was outstanding in any gather-
ing. He was moral, courageous,
and humble - the kind of man
people will follow.
All went well with King Saul
until sin moved in to mar his
life. He began to depend upon
himself rather than upon God.
He became proud of himself.
When he lost his throne, he be-
came angry. He even turned
against his son and his friend,
David. Later he was forsaken
by his old friend Samuel. Saul
turned to witchcraft (I Sam-
uel 28:9).
Sin does not respect any
l&rson regardless of his abili-
ties or his station in life. The
rich and poor, young and old,
strong and weak are all with-
in the range of sin’s attack.
Sin also marred the life of
one of Jesus’ disciples. Satan
does not hesitate to march into
this intimate circle and strike
down Peter (Luke 22:54-62).
It was night. A man was seat-
ed by a fire. It \yas Peter who
had voiced the great confession
in answer to a question which
Jesus had asked about Himself
(Matt. 16:13-16). But now
Peter was in the steel grip of
