“UNPARDONABLE SIN”
REV. MR. BENTLEY ON IMPENITENCE MISSION AT ST. MATTHEW’S “I have seen the fakirs of India with their arms raised so long in pious appeal that they cannot lower them, and they become rigid and set. In the same way. through chronic impenitence. the soul becomes so twisted that recovery is impossible.” said the Rev. Walter Bentley at his mission service at St. Matthew’s Church last evening:. Mr. Bentley, who discussed “The Unpardonable Bin.” took his text from the thirty-second verse of the twelfth chapter of St. Matthew. “These are said to be the most awful words our Lord ever used.” said the preacher, “for it is the only time when He pronounced a sin to be unpardonable, and it puzzles very many people as to what it really comprises. But be sure of this—those people who worry for fear they may have committed it unknowingly have no need for their fears, for they are the very people who cannot have done so, the sin being: what it Is.”
This evening Mr. Bentley will speak on "What is the Greatest Question in the World?”
