PARADISE FOR THE ARTIST
Devotees of the Brush Are Accorded
Accommodations Without Prlco
at Inn at Capri.
Capri, beautirul In Itself as a winter
xesort, offers an Irresistible Invitation
to artlstB, since It has an Inn whero
anyone, by painting n picture on m.
wall can get freo board.
To the lovely Island of Capri, with
Its perennial summer, Its blue grotto,
and Its lemon groves, came, somo fifty
years ago, a ruined artist. Ho opened
Mi Inn, and died rich. In his will,
leaving the inn to his heirs, ho made
these conditions:
"The clmrgo per day, two bottles of
red Capri wine Included, is never to
bo more than six francs.
"If any artist is too poor to pay he
hall paint a picture upon somo wall
apace, receiving all the accommoda
tion accorded to those paying the high
cat price.
"It any German artist shall come
"to the Inn he shall be accommodated,
-and shall rcceivo the amount of his
faro to Germany upon his promising
aicvcr to return to Italy."
The inn is conducted today on these
conditions. Its walls are covered with
paintings. Now and then a German
cts his faro home.

The Natural
History of Sin
DrREV.JAMCS M. CRAY
Dn t Moodr DiM loi'Jlute,
Ckkago
JSSxxlxH
T&XT-acncsIa 3.1-7.
In tlio opening verses of the third chap
lor of Genesis wo lmvo what intent bo
called the naturnl history of Bin.
1. Its Origin
"Now, the Ber
pent was moro
subtle than any
beast of tho fluid
which tho Lord
God had made.
And ho said unto
tho woman "
Tho serpent was
tho origin of sin
so far as the rec
ord goes. But, of
course, thero Is
hero moro than
tho serpent, ns
wo know not only
from his Intelli
gence nnd reason
ing powers and fnculty of speech, but
from tho dofinlto testimony of Scrip
ture which Identifies him with tho
devil and Satan (Rev. 12:9, 20:2).
Thero aro many In theso days who
say that thero is no trovll nor Satan,
but the wise understand and aro gov
erned by tho word of God In this
matter. Read especially Ephcslans
0:12.
2. Its Nature. "And he said unto
tho woman, Yea, hath God said, yo
shall not eat of every treo of tho
garden?" Tho denial of God's word
Is tho essenco of all sin. When Sa
tan employed tho Interrogation point
In this case, It were equivalent to say
ing, "God hath not spoken anything,
and If ho hath done so, who cares?"
Is not this, in tho last nnalysls, what
every sin amounts to? Is it not
declaring that wo havo no authorlta
tlvo revelation of the divine will, and
If we havo, "Who la the Almighty,
that wo should serve him?" Nor Is
this tho conviction and the boast
chiefly of our unregenerate civiliza
tion, but tho teaching of some bo
called pulpits under the blight of n ra
tionalistic theology. Speaking of that
theology, one of Its prominent expo
nents recently t said, "While recogniz
ing tho Bible as a unique record of
religious experience, it handles It as
freely nnd as critically as it would
any other book." This Is what ex
plains tho lawlessness characterizing
all classes of society today, and which
will continue to characterize them un
til the lawless one himself has been
revealed.
3. Its Object. "God doth know that
In the day ye oat thereof, then ye
Bhall bo as God, knowing good and
,ovll." Aye! thero'B tho rub! If tho
nature of sin Is the denial of God's
word, the object of It Is tho dethrone
ment of Ood altogether. It was by
pride that Satan himself fell, think
ing tho godhead a prlzo to be grasped
at, and It was by prldo In the same
direction that he dragged man down
after him. The ralson d' ctre of Bin,
bo far an tho race Is conscious of it,
Id the deification of humanity. When
at the end of this age tho lawless ono
Bhall be revealed, ho will be found
sitting in the temple of God, showing
that ho himself is God (II Thea. 2:4).
But who is the lawless one? He is
simply humanity deified In the con
crete. And the trend of the false the
ology Just referred to Is all In this di
rection. Its starting point Is belief
in the lmmnuenco of God and the es
sential oneness of God nnd man. It
believes thero la no real distinction
between humanity nnd deity, nnd that
our being Is tho same as God's. How
much this sounds like an echo from
tho garden of Eden!
4. Its Method, "When the woman
saw that tho treo was good for food,
and that It was pleasant to tho eye,
and a tree to bo desired to make
one wise " Tho method of sin la
threefold. I John 2:1C describes it
ns "tho lust of the flesh, the lust of
tho eycB, and the prldo of llfo." It
wns along this line thnt tho second
Adam was tempted as well ns the first
(Luko 4:1-13), and It Is along this
line that Satan works with all of us.
Ho cares not whether ho takes us
with a coarso slevo or a flno one, If
only ho takes us. Somo aro over
como through tho lower nnd baser ap
petites of tho body, the lust of the
flesh. Others are of n finer grade,
though still coarse, and aro overcome
by tho vain glory of tho world, Its spar
kle and beauty, its wealth nnd luxury,
Its fame and power, tho lust of tho
eye. But thero Is a third class, tho
llnest of all, over whom the flesh and
tho world have llttlo power, and with
whom tho prldo of llfo is tho exalta
tion of their own rcasou above the
revelation of God. These affect to
point out a now way to attain unto
highness that men seek, a now kind
of and n new approach unto right
eousness is tho desideratum they have
beforo them. Thoy aro philosophers
and scientists it may bo; they aro
reformers nnd religionists, somo aro
honest and elncero In what they
teach, nnd clean and upright In their
Jives. They fall from tho high pinna
cle, but their end is tho Bame, and
thnt of those who fall with them.
Mny God keep us (rue to tho Bible
and his revealed word, and truo to
Jesus Christ as. tho only and official
Savior of our souls.
