PARIS KNEW WHAT EDEN GREW The International Sunday School Lesson For May 11 Is "Sin and Its Consequences"—Gen. 3:11 By WILLIAM T. ELLIS Adam, in the other world, may have grinned at Paris peace pro ceedings which amazed the world. He knew the reason. Civilization stood aghast at the failure of war taught nations to learn and practice the lessons of simple sincerity and true brotherhood. The clash of in ternational rivalries, the outcrop pings of deep and designing selfish ness, the ruthless scheming to at tain individual ambitions, seemed a scandal to the year in which we live. Straightforward lovers of hu manity were incredulous of the re ports of jealousy and intrigue and strife at Paris; they would have collapsed into black despair had they known the full, unpublished facts. Even so elaborate and modern a creation as the Paris Conference resolves itself into the old elements of human nature, which first made trouble in the Garden of Eden. Statesmen may look wise and talk behind closed doors, but after all their problems and plans rest upon what is fundamental in people. They cannot get far away from hu man nature. Sin in the individual, aggregate, becomes sin in the state. Altruism in the citizens is what pro duces unselfishness in the nation. What ailed the Paris Conference was simply what ailed the Garden How You May Reduce Your Weight Overstoutness is a very unwelcome condition, especially in the present day, when slender figures are so pop ular, and every reader of this paper who has noticed a tendency to put on weight will be glad to know of a new, simply home treatment that is re markably efficient and inexpensive.

There has not been that change of heart which makes whole peoples desire first the wel fare of all men. The law of God is still displaced by the attempt to supersede it and gratify selfish de sires. The devil continues to do business with the vanity and pride and desires of men and women. Critics of the League of Nations are right in saying that there will have to be a changed heart in humanity before there can be the ideal world: though in the meantime we should set up as much of the machinery of a truly Christian civilization as is possible and workable. Let us have the League of Nations, and then consider whether it is not the mis sion of this favored western conti nent to fill it and thrill it with the fires of benevolence and altruism. Tlic World's Blackest Fact It was none other than the Grand Vizier of Turkey who himself told me, a few days ago, that the black est deed in ull history was the Ar menian atrocities, lie was wrong; for one bit of fruit from a flourish ing tree is less important than the tree itself. Central to all the woes of the world, and the producer of them every one, is the black and ugly fact of sin. Any philosophy which does not recognize the real ity of sin, does not adequately ap prehend the conditions of the world in which we live. It is the presence of sin that mars all our Edens. New-fashioned preachers do not j talk much about sin; wherein they I differ from every one of the proph ets, preachers and teachers in the Bible. There is a power within us and about us which makes us choose the worse rather than the better, the hurtful rather than the helpful. That power is sin: and they best know it who have been most affect ed by it. Theological seminaries may have doubts about sin, but pen itentiaries and hospitals and asy lums do not. The consequences of sin clank like ball and chain at the feet of the onmarching world. We are less concerned with the origin and nature of sin than with the fact of its existence, and with the havoc it is working in the life of our own day. We read with in terest the story of the first tempta tion and fall; and if we are intro spective we may trace a similar course in our own experience—de- sire for what wo should not have, doubt that God really means what he suys, and determination to have our own way, regardlcßS of conse quences. The laws of the Jungle Casting aside all the phrases that the preachers use, we ask ourselves, what is the nature of sin? Where in exactly lies Its distinctive qual ity? At root, and running out through every twig and branch of its life; sin is refusing to believe that what God says is really true. This takes for granted that we may know what God wants of us; which is another subject not to be taken up here. Underlying all sin is un belief. That is how Grandmother Evo fell: that Is how the latest of her descendants stumbled. An alluring trap of the tempter's —and It is having an amazing vogue to-day—was that Efve would 'become as wise as God himself; that she would be emancipated for all restrictions, and free to follow her desires. It was a religion of the ex altedness of human nature that the devil preached In the Garden. His arguments made God little and man big. "God is only fooling you; the fact Ist, he is a bit jealous "lest you should eat of this tree and become as wise as he is. For all experience is sacred and permitted; the fact that you desire this fruit is suffi cient reason why you should have it. See how beautiful it is to look upon, and how pleasant to taste. Come, cast aside your fogy, narrow notions and be free and divine—like unto God himself." So ran the fa miliar seduction. Cutting directly across this sophistry is the stern truth that nothing in the universe, not even the becoming tike God himself, is so important as obeying the clear will of God. "Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice," cried God's prophet to Saul. The greatest voice in modern literature writes, in those peerless parables called "Jungle Tales," "These are the taws of the jungle; many and mighty are they; But the head and the hoof, the haunch and the hump is— Obey." To find out what God wants to do, and to do that thing despite hell and all its devils, is the one su preme duty and happiness of man. A revival of obedience to God would do nroa-e for the world than all the Peace Conferences that can be con voked. The Price We Pay Bitter as never morning after has been in all the ages since was the awakening of Eve. She learned, too late, that she had lost that which she could never have back again; and that she had gained nothing worth the price. She had paid dearly for that which was not worth buying at all. Out of her Eden — what a parable of many a person's experience to-day!—out of inno cence. out of favor with her hus band, and out of joyful relation ship with God, Eve learned, what few of us are willing to believe at second hand, that the devil is a liar and the father of lies. When a child does not welcome it 3 returning father home, because of its own misdeeds, it is repeating the experience of the race. Loss of innocence is the well-spring of un happiness. Lfke the jaded appetite which requires ever stronger and stronger stimulant, so the spirit from which innocence has fled goes from worse to worse. Has any novelist ever portrayed the real horror of the lack of spiritual sus ceptibility? "To the impure, all things are impure" is a horrible characterization of a not uncom mon mental state. The plight of the pit is that of the man who has no innocent thoughts, no simple and pure pleasures, no delight in what so ever is lovely and of good re port. What a price to pay for dis obedience! Tlic Voice That Strikes Terror Some cynic has invented the story that every man has a hidden secret that haunts him; and that a telegram "All is known: look out," would send the best of men into panic. Of course it is not true. Thank God there are myriads of men and womqp whose lives are an open book—though the evil-minded cannot believe this, which is one of the punishments of loss of inno cence. As Adam and Eve shrank from the voice of God in the garden, con victed by the knowledge of their own guilt, so guilt of soul fint}s ac cusation In every glance, betrayal j In harmless incidents, and remorse by night and by day. Already, when our first purents kuew thm. I [ selvs out of fellowship with God, they had begun to taste death. No ■ excuses could palliate or atone for j their offense. Theirs, and ours, is [ the suffering. What says the Golden Text of the Lesson, summing it all up? "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." "Shell Shock" Might Be Termed "Shell Shy" London, May 9. According to j speakers at a recent meeting of the i British Medical Association, "shell shock" is an "unfortunate and un- I scientific term" for which "shell shy" might better be used. Sir J. Purves Stewart, senior j physician of Westminster hospital, | said it really was "molecular abnor mality of the nervous system char acterized by abnormal reactions to ordinary stimuli." Dr. F. W. Mott said the war had j produced no new nervous disease, and that the varied hysterical mani | Testations improperly called "shell i shock" were emotional disorders and | were curable by counter suggestion.
