Dr. Cean pronounced the benediction. be rtev. Air. Wilson said in part: The doctrine of individualism has little favor in some quarters today and one wonders why.

Such unpopularity has no vindication in tne Bible. the contrary, we find the doctrine of individualism taught in the clearest and most direct terms. "Each one of us shall give account of himself to God." That is the eonsnmation of the doctrine, that could not come at the end if it did not come in at tha beginning, This thf or mf( of a thllt nas fone Mtm. ia lh PPViBinn nf upon which the universe is administered in one sentence, man by man soul hv soul thus we die, thus we shall be judged. In the concluding verses of Sermon on the Mount Jesus said "He that heareth these sayings of mine'' not they that hear these sayings of mine but he made it very personal.

In the last commission. "in ye therefore, and preach the Gospel to all nations." He that believelh and is baptised shall he saved not they that hear. Again and again Jesus speaks of the individual soul. Paul said: "The soul that sinncth it shall die," and "IIe that soweth to the flesh shull of the flesh reap corruption." I do not know where we cun find a clearer, finer lesson on personal responsibility than is found in the prophecy of Rcekiel, Chapter 33. The commission of the watchman is one of special appointment "I have made you" one of active duty, warn them from me.

Thig implies that the house of Israel is in danger- the people needed stirring ami authoritative admonition. The responsibility of the watch man was to a' guardian, to warn the wicked as in times of war the lives of the soldiers depends on the faithfulness of the entry, so the ssfety of the souls of men may depend on the faithfulness of the believers in Christ. There is always possibility of failure but it is no discredit either to the message or the messenger that men do not accept the word and act upon it. Ministers have been warning from the pui pit down through the ages, "The wages of aih is death." "The soul that sins shall die." Men do not heed nut that doe not discredit the message."
