The Sin Trust

In the Gospel of Jesus Christ there is all power to reform the world; but it begins in the individual heart, and the individual heart must receive the Gospel by willing submission, by simple faith. There is no other way. Law may abolish tariff and trusts, and may in law reverse conditions of wealth and poverty; there is a trust of which Satan is the head, which has a hold upon every soul who has not received the Gospel. The worst trust the world ever knew is the sin trust, of which Satan is president. All other selfish commercial trusts are but the tenderest offshoots from the great parent stock. O soul, break from the power of the Sin Trust by the mightier power of the Gospel!
