Calls to investigate 'suspicious' Mui Wo rural land deals
A Mui Wo village leader was directly involved in six village house transactions and connected to another three in the space of two years, prompting calls for the transactions to be investigated.
Civic Party leader and barrister Tanya Chan said while there was no clear evidence that small house rights were being sold, the land sales were "suspicious" and should be scrutinised.
Eddie Tse from the Save Lantau Alliance (SLA) said the transactions by Luk Tei Tong village representative Lee Kwok Keung and his wife were "intriguing," especially when they involved residents from other villages. He called for the Lands Department and the Town Planning Board (TPB) to probe the deals.
According to the Ming Pao newspaper and the SLA, Lee and his wife sold land that was used to build six indigenous houses, while another three are applying for approval to build.
One plot of land, lot 288, was broken up and sold to six different buyers, including five from other villages.
Land sale contracts show Lee bought the lot for just under HK$2.78 million in 2011, and then selling it as six separate plots over 2012-2013 for HK$2.24 million – HK$540,000 less than he had paid. Every transaction was authorised by the same lawyer, Lee Kwok Yung.
Subsequently, a number of applications were made to build ding houses on those sites, which were approved in 2015 and 2016.
The six small houses, many with the same external appearance, have now been nearly completed.
Five of the buyers have addresses outside Mui Wo, including one in Australia, land sale documents show. Ming Pao reporters could not locate any of the buyers.
Lee's wife, Fanny Mok Suk Fun, was involved in buying and selling another plot of land on the edge of Luk Tei Tong, lot 308. She had acquired it for HK$700,000 in 1999, split it into three pieces, and sold them off in 2004.
Then on the same day in 2008 Mok and a Ms Au-yeung Yuet-lan repurchased two of the lots at exactly the same price (HK$198,000). In 2014 the two lots were sold separately for the same price (HK$208,000) to two people now applying for ding approval. Both transactions were also executed by Lee Kwok Yung.
The third piece of land is also subject to a TPB application for building approval.
Speaking to a Ming Pao reporter by phone, Lee confirmed he had sold the land to residents of other villages and as village representative had dealt with the six small house applications.
However, when asked about his wife's role the call dropped out. Reporters were unable to re-establish contact, and text messages were not returned.
The number of cross-village ding transactions in Lantau has soared since then-CE CY Leung announced ambitious Lantau development plans in his 2014 policy address.
In the two years prior, just three applications had been filed. But after the development plans were unveiled, the number of applications spiked to six in 2014, 14 in 2015 and six in 2016.
Under the Basic Law, indigenous male villagers are given the right to build a house on rural village land, but the system is open to abuse and, outside the privileged community of indigenous villagers, dissatisfaction is high.
Two years ago Sha Tin villagers were jailed for selling off 'ding' rights to a developer, and a 2015 Civic Exchange survey found that nearly two-thirds want to see the policy change.
However, successive chief executives, who hold power with support of rural bodies, have shown no interest in reform.

I walk by this construction sites every day and it strikes me how dangerous the places are. There is not a sign who builds it and who is responsible in case of emergency. The sites are not fenced off and local children play around bare foot amongst the scattered building materials. I am appalled and complained about it to the government line but with no response. The area around is devastated and covered in building debris. The village chief is there every day but it does not bother him that the place is dangerous for children around. I guess the profit is the priority.

I was forced off the EVA by this guy and one of the trucks he had delivering steel. When I caught up to them and stopped in front of them he abused my like a crazy man. He then sent two laborers over with iron bars who abused me in Cantonese. I told them to call an ambulance or leave. just a bunch of mongrels

Faculty members at AUI continue to display excellency in the international arena. Most recently Dr. Katja Žvan Elliott, an Associate Professor in North African and Middle East Studies at the University, was published in the UK based Palgrave Handbook of Women's Political Rights with her chapter entitled, "Morocco: Ongoing Struggle for More Representation." In this most recent publication of her work, Dr. Žvan Elliott explores the often overlooked relationship between lower political representation of women in Morocco and the country's delays in human development in addition to the persisting patriarchal mentalities which cut across class, regional, and urban-rural divides. The chapter focuses on the understanding of the post-colonial consolidation of the regime, which included a co-optation of, at first, select political parties and conservative rural notables, and since the 1990s increasingly also women's rights organizations. Through this, Žvan-Elliott is able to argue that despite the introduction of women's quotas in 2002 (as well as men's quotas) women's rights agenda continues to be depoliticized, while the political space has not (yet) become more democratized and gender-inclusive.

It's really funny to see what denizens of the 1960s thought the 21st century would look like. While admittedly we didn't quite meet their high expectations, we have invented hoverboards..sort of. Ok, they have wheels but they're still cool!

As most Tarantino fans are aware, 'The Hateful Eight' is shot on 70mm films. What does this mean? Our hunch is, if you don't know, you won't care. As for the cinephiles who do, enjoy the best movies shot on the finest film (none of this "shot in 35 and reformatted for 70" jokery)!

The baseball diamond - Movie Site
Field of Dreams (1989)
Want to know where Field of Dreams starring Kevin Costner, Amy Madigan and Gaby Hoffmann was filmed at The baseball diamond - Movie Site in Dyersville, United States? Start scrolling.
The Iowa farmer Ray Kinsella decides to build a baseball field at his farm because a mysterious voice tells him: "If you build it, he will come."

More locations of Field of Dreams >
The studio built the baseball diamond on two farms, a few miles outside Dyersville. When production completed, the baseball diamond created for the movie was left behind. Most of the baseball field, including the diamond and the adjacent house, was on one farm owned by the Lansing family, but the left and center field were on an adjacent property owned by the Ameskamp family. The field was built on the two properties because the producers wanted the field in a location where sunset shots would be uninhibited. After filming completed, the Lansing family kept their portion of the field intact, and added a small hut where visitors could buy souvenirs. The Ameskamp family returned their land to farming for a year, but then restored the remainder of the field and opened up their own souvenir stand. The two owners had operated separate tourist facilities and had also been at odds regarding commercialization of the site.

Homeland Security Detects Terrorist Threats by Reading Your Mind
By Allison Barrie, | Fox News
Baggage searches are SOOOOOO early-21st century. Homeland Security is now testing the next generation of security screening — a body scanner that can read your mind.
Most preventive screening looks for explosives or metals that pose a threat. But a new system called MALINTENT turns the old school approach on its head. This Orwellian-sounding machine detects the person — not the device — set to wreak havoc and terror.
MALINTENT, the brainchild of the cutting-edge Human Factors division in Homeland Security's directorate for Science and Technology, searches your body for non-verbal cues that predict whether you mean harm to your fellow passengers.
It has a series of sensors and imagers that read your body temperature, heart rate and respiration for unconscious tells invisible to the naked eye — signals terrorists and criminals may display in advance of an attack.
But this is no polygraph test. Subjects do not get hooked up or strapped down for a careful reading; those sensors do all the work without any actual physical contact. It's like an X-ray for bad intentions.
Currently, all the sensors and equipment are packaged inside a mobile screening laboratory about the size of a trailer or large truck bed, and just last week, Homeland Security put it to a field test in Maryland, scanning 144 mostly unwitting human subjects.
While I'd love to give you the full scoop on the unusual experiment, testing is ongoing and full disclosure would compromise future tests.
• Click here for an exclusive look at MALINTENT in action.
But what I can tell you is that the test subjects were average Joes living in the D.C. area who thought they were attending something like a technology expo; in order for the experiment to work effectively and to get the testing subjects to buy in, the cover story had to be convincing.
While the 144 test subjects thought they were merely passing through an entrance way, they actually passed through a series of sensors that screened them for bad intentions.
Homeland Security also selected a group of 23 attendees to be civilian "accomplices" in their test. They were each given a "disruptive device" to carry through the portal — and, unlike the other attendees, were conscious that they were on a mission.
In order to conduct these tests on human subjects, DHS had to meet rigorous safety standards to ensure the screening would not cause any physical or emotional harm.
So here's how it works. When the sensors identify that something is off, they transmit warning data to analysts, who decide whether to flag passengers for further questioning. The next step involves micro-facial scanning, which involves measuring minute muscle movements in the face for clues to mood and intention.
Homeland Security has developed a system to recognize, define and measure seven primary emotions and emotional cues that are reflected in contractions of facial muscles. MALINTENT identifies these emotions and relays the information back to a security screener almost in real-time.
This whole security array — the scanners and screeners who make up the mobile lab — is called "Future Attribute Screening Technology" — or FAST — because it is designed to get passengers through security in two to four minutes, and often faster.
If you're rushed or stressed, you may send out signals of anxiety, but FAST isn't fooled. It's already good enough to tell the difference between a harried traveler and a terrorist. Even if you sweat heavily by nature, FAST won't mistake you for a baddie.
"If you focus on looking at the person, you don't have to worry about detecting the device itself," said Bob Burns, MALINTENT's project leader. And while there are devices out there that look at individual cues, a comprehensive screening device like this has never before been put together.
While FAST's batting average is classified, Undersecretary for Science and Technology Adm. Jay Cohen declared the experiment a "home run."
As cold and inhuman as the electric eye may be, DHS says scanners are unbiased and nonjudgmental. "It does not predict who you are and make a judgment, it only provides an assessment in situations," said Burns. "It analyzes you against baseline stats when you walk in the door, it measures reactions and variations when you approach and go through the portal."
But the testing — and the device itself — are not without their problems. This invasive scanner, which catalogues your vital signs for non-medical reasons, seems like an uninvited doctor's exam and raises many privacy issues.
But DHS says this is not Big Brother. Once you are through the FAST portal, your scrutiny is over and records aren't kept. "Your data is dumped," said Burns. "The information is not maintained — it doesn't track who you are."
DHS is now planning an even wider array of screening technology, including an eye scanner next year and pheromone-reading technology by 2010.
The team will also be adding equipment that reads body movements, called "illustrative and emblem cues." According to Burns, this is achievable because people "move in reaction to what they are thinking, more or less based on the context of the situation."
FAST may also incorporate biological, radiological and explosive detection, but for now the primary focus is on identifying and isolating potential human threats.
And because FAST is a mobile screening laboratory, it could be set up at entrances to stadiums, malls and in airports, making it ever more difficult for terrorists to live and work among us.
Burns noted his team's goal is to "restore a sense of freedom." Once MALINTENT is rolled out in airports, it could give us a future where we can once again wander onto planes with super-sized cosmetics and all the bottles of water we can carry — and most importantly without that sense of foreboding that has haunted Americans since Sept. 11.

BEACONSFIELD TOURNAMENT MUSINGS
It was an emotional and wild 4 days for some of DDO's finest softball players. Playing in the Beaconsfield annual slow-pitch tourney for the first time, our boys had to adjust to a number of new rules and home-scheduling disadvantages. First, it was a slow-pitch high-arc tournament with no maximum height for the pitches, there was a mat, no sliding, and tagging up on all bases. Second, our boys had to win 2 of their 3 preliminary games and strangely enough (not!!!) they were up against the two teams with the pitchers who threw the highest. Game 1 was a readjustment period, and our boys took it on the chins 8-3. Many were speaking to themselves wondering what they had gotten themselves into. After a day of soul-searching and constant emailing, including the art of hitting high-arc slowpitching by Steve Greenspoon, the boys came back ready for blood on day 2. First, was a game against a team who's pitcher averaged 25 feetoff the ground. The boys managed to win 5-0 and the reward was a date against the defending champions from Valleyfield who boasted "the rainmaker". Averaging 40 feetin the air per pitch the boys from DDO knew they were the underdogs and had to manufacture some runs. Our boys won 2-1, based on stellar defense and wondrous pitching from tournament MVP Harley "Locks" Schwartz. A date in the semi-finals called. The semi-final game was an extra inning affair that our boys pulled through with some clutch hitting, setting up a rematch with the rainmaker and his buddies from Valleyfield. Our boys brought their A game and destroyed the Valleyfield boys 13-2. Aspecial thanks to all the DDO supporters who made the trip south to Beaconsfield to help cheer our boys to victory!
I wantto thank the league and especially Luciano and Rick for allowing me to see if I could play again. I also want to thank Jeff and Micheal for their best wishes and encouragement to come and try.
To all the other players who wished me good luck, thank you also.
To the umpires, thank you for allowing me all the time I needed to catch my breath.
To the entire league--the above is the reason our league is the best around. No one complained what my rating should be or if I should be allowed to replace this or that person, only best wishes and glad I was out there,were expressed to me.
This is the encouragement and sportsmanship we should all strive to achieve.
David Grintuch
Based on the latest ramblings I can only assume that our illustrious ATH author is back from his posting in Siberia. Without exchanging barbs with this individual I will choose to stick to the topic at hand and be the voice of reason.
As many of you have no doubt heard by now, we have selected Super Sunday to adopt a 1 game trial implementation of a pitching mat. It is our belief that having all teams participate we will be able to maximize the feedback from all concerned. Rhetoric aside, at its core our league is all about the game and uniformity and integrity of balls and strikes is an integral component. With this in mind the prevailing theory is that the aforementioned mat will go along way in adhering to this principle.
There has been a lot of "discussion" about this decision. A lot of the so called "experts" are certain this is a bad idea while others are touting the merits. One of the first lessons I learned in life was to try new things. Truth be told to this day I still detest liver, but I did try it. Keeping with this spirit I believe it was Alfred Lord Tennyson that penned… 'Tis better to have tried the matand failedthan never to have tried the matat all…Or something like that.
Prevailing opinions aside, the goal is, was and always will be to implement or at the very least "try" to make changes for the betterment of our league as a whole. Whether or not we move forward with this particular development is ultimately in all our hands.
Around The Horn 16
Well, you asked for it and you got it…So here we are again – more lives than a squirrel crossing Lake Rd. A word of note though; this little piece is furthermore being edited for publication by the folks at the Richard M. Nixon Institute. Our new sponsors are Watergate and Deep Throat (That's the Linda Lovelace movie and not Bob Woodward's secret informant).
And for those who may have missed this season's first two insertions, here they are again, albeit, filtered through Tricky Dicky's dastardly "NYET"….
In its infinite wisdom, our exec has determined that all six games to be played on Super Sunday will feature, on an experimental basis, the much (or not so much) debated home mat. For those of you not up to speed, a 2' x 3' prophylactic will replace the traditional home plate. If the pitch don't hit it on the way down, it ain't a strike. The pitching height limit does not change. What this does is take away any need for an umpire but moreover, plays into the hands of good hitters who can now zone in on a spot and tee off at will. What it also does is provide another position where you can hide a defensively suspect player or extend the careers of some of our aging veterans. All you ask him to do is toss cookies and duck for cover. It also reduces the effectiveness of many of our league's starting pitchers. What's next boys, lift, clean and place? Or should we just put it on a tee? A straw poll taken at the park found that many didn't understand why the experiment. Home plate's kinda been in baseball for over 100 years. I know a guy who pitches and writes in his spare time. This brainstorm will make dangerous hitters even more dangerous effectively taking away the breaking balls that cross through the strike zone but don't land on a mat. That pitcher I know, will NOT be pitching on Experimental Sunday.
Around The Horn 15A
So much to say, so little space to say it all, but try we will…The 24-hour time-out rule has passed and a good night's sleep in an icy cold basement still left me thinkin' I had to get some things off my chest.
Must be other teams in the league but Canada's favorite, aptly named, CanadaTire, seem to be at the center of most of the excitement in the past week. Like the DallasCowboys and the New YorkYankees, love 'em or hate 'em, you can't argue their success.
Their up and down week was literally a roller coaster ride with wild scoring swings in each of their last two games. First, they go up against SLF, score 7 runs in the first, only to see that erased by 8 runs by SLF in the 3rd. The over-inflated Tires, roared back yet again with another 9 of their own and you figure this one's over, especially when SLF "Ace" pitcher Gerry Rotstein takes temporary leave of his senses and gets tossed. That left it up to backup pitcher Marco Azoulay, a victim of the earlier 9 run onslaught, to hold the fort. Well, don't ya just know that Marco held CT to just 1 miserly run over the last 4 innings, allowing his teammates to come all the way back once again and win going away 24-18. Bravo Marco!!! Captain Larry Shapiro averted the gaze of the exuberant spectators who'd witnessed the game as he wheeled the bats into the storage shed. He had "no comment" on why he wound up spending more than 10 minutes in that shed alone, although we've heard two versions; reorganizing the room or throwing up…
BUT, what goes around comes around, every dog has his day, yada-yada-yada and last night, CanadaTire did some roaring back of their own. Facing off against Emmis, the Tires got down early and found themselves in a 10-1 hole before most in attendance had taken their seats. Emmis had one foot on the throat and the "Boy's" were spinning their tires. But bounce back the radials did and short of a furious two-out bottom of the 9th rally, Emmis succumbed by one, 15-14.
The game featured several close calls, some controversial ones, a nasty hop to the nose of second baseman David Azran
P Jerry Lewis & unidentified opponent
Rory Olson, showed up at the plate for his first inning at bat complaining of stomach issues. Well, he didn't complain but his stomach sure did all the talking, backing the catcher and umpire out of their positions until "things" settled down. Justa hint Ror, don't eat before games, AND welcome to the league!!!
TWIB NOTES
Play of the week honor goes to Joe Piedmonte (JAB) who, on a sinking liner ticketed to left center off the bat of Mitch Perlman, dove (I really mean dove folks) to his right out behind 2nd base, came up with a spectacular backhand catch and earned himself a "game" ball from his captains and appreciative teammates! Bravo Joe; Your pitcher Harrod and first baseman Ari appreciate you!
Jason Finney is known more for his good looks than his glove (he is?). But against RBC (Berky/Schwartz) he turned two double plays that were highlight reel worthy. Playing 2nd base, Finney took the feed from rover. Then, with his back to 1st base, he jumped, pivoted and before he even looked at first, fired a laser beam to nab the runner. He then repeated the exact same play later in the game and caught everyone off guard including the ump who had started to signal safe.
Home Run Race
Finney 4 – Krane 3
…To Rick and Looch for resisting the temptation to gloat. It's early still but Radun's providing solid "D" and sharp hitting…To Lorne Rubin for having the class to kiss and make up, even BEFORE the game ended (Foghorn take note). I know it musta been the 40*C game-time temp along with the Florida-like humidity that caused his bat to go sailing into the fence. ;-)
…To the Emmis catcher, a generally great guy, for complaining to the plate ump AFTER THE GAME that when David Azran took a wicked hop that caught him squarely on the bridge of his nose, drawing blood and forcing him out of the game, time should NOT have been called while the play was going on…Sheeesh, that's harsh! Play wasn't goin' any further pal…
Fresh ink in the quill, it's time to put pen to paper, fingers to keys as we raise the curtain on a brand spankin' new season…A big welcome to our new players, Charlie sends you all a big HOO-HA!!!
On paper, team Klaiman/Gutenplan seem to have drafted a solid team top to bottom with an outfield that's gonna get to almost anything hit their way. With cagey veteran Tom Theofanis on the mound, they should be a factor all season long. Shapiro/Azran will have their work cut out for them as they field a retooled lineup but who'd ever bet against them? Kosow/Marer (Oops, I musta meant Kosow/Rabinovitch – my bad!) are gonna win their share if they find a short enough leash for their GM. Luciano/Steele are sure to put up some big scores.
The early season upset win goes to Rosie/Waxman for beating Shapiro/Azran in a game where they were without the services of 4 of their top 7 picks including 2nd rounder Anthony Wolfe and 3rd rounder Lorne Schwartz. A wiser, more serene Larry Shapiro, I'm told, slept well after polishing his 3 championship rings before bed but was overheard mumbling as he left the park following the loss, "It's my dynasty, I'm Blake F*ing Carrington!".
One of the more intriguing stories arguably will be the looming homerun battle that is bound to shape up between teammates Lorne Krane and Jasson Finney. Surely there can be no greater matchup, aside from perhaps the one waged in 1961 between Yankee teammates Roger Maris and Mickey Mantle for single season homer supremacy while chasing the immortal Bambino's record of 60 round trippers, than this one. Perfect technique vs. brute strength, this figures to be a good one to watch and if egos remain parked, this battle will have opposing pitchers bringing a change of shorts to their games versus JAB. Do I hear Triple Crown anyone???
So, who struck first blood? The dry air kept 3 balls from going out in JAB's first game, two by Finney, one of which was caught by Mike Witt with his backside against the fence and the other by LK. Game two versus Emmis was another story. The humid night air saw a mist hanging over the outfield grass and the balls began soaring UP, UP and AWAY!!! The game was close until the middle innings and Krane & Finney then went yard back to back in the 7th. The final was 17-6 JAB and the race is officially on. Krane 2 – Finney 2.
Culinary Ennui
A Friday night post late-game chow down saw 7 leaguers sitting at a table at Chenoy's and putting matters of the world to rest. Laughs a-plenty and as food was being served, Jasson Finney's eyes bugged out when he saw the 3 Flintstone sized portions of chocolate cake (with chocolate drizzle no less) set before Nat Goldenberg, Lorne Krane and Isar Klaiman. With one eyebrow raised, as he eyed the chocolate slab on Isar's plate, Finney shot out, "That's a diabetic coma waiting to happen!"
The ever svelte Larry Shapiro ordered a delicate fruit cup to match the purse he carries showing one and all what it takes to look so good at his age. Or was it because Krane was treating him???
A word of caution to all – BEWARE Chenoy's $22 omelet with lox!!!!!!!
Who will win this season's Home Run Race?
Jasson Finney
Lorne Krane
Dina Gaspari
…To Rick and Luciano for putting aside their personal convictions and handling xxxx xxxxxxxx xx a xxxxxx trade with class and at the same time reigniting calls for a "no trade" policy, period…
…For our "system" having put Rick and Lootch in this position to begin with…xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Handshakes signify that the game is over and WE MOVE ON – no excuses xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

U.N. Peacekeeping After Rwanda: Lessons Learned or Mistakes Forgotten?
Crystal Faggart
The United Nations ("U.N.") has a history of operating as a peacekeeping force around the world during times of conflict or transition. Often, the states that receive U.N. assistance are underdeveloped, and their citizens become greatly dependent upon the lofty promises of the U.N. Therefore, when the U.N. is unable to uphold these promises, or makes significant mistakes through the course of its efforts, the results can be devastating. With a lengthy resume of peacekeeping missions, one would think that the U.N. sits in an optimal position to understand the needs of relevant parties during times of conflict as well as its own capabilities in meeting these needs. By analyzing the mistakes made in previous efforts, the U.N. can learn from the past. However, it must be asked if the U.N. is indeed educating itself in such a manner, or if instead it is continuing to offer empty promises to nations in desperate need of reliable support.

Excerpted from:
REFORMATION ADVOCATE.
JUNE, 1876.
Our Lord, during his personal and public ministry, gave expression to many sentiments which were very unpopular. Some of these were displeasing because of their obscurity; others, because of their plainness. His actions, also, were no less subject to criticism. If he said, "Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God," Nicodemus, though a master of Israel, is ready to object, "How can these things be?" When he spoke of the bread which cometh down from heaven and giveth life unto the world, the Jews murmured at him; and when he said, "I am that bread of life," they strove among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?" Not the carnal Jews only, but "many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him;" and the more he proceeded to explain his dark sayings, the less agreeable they became. They were hard sayings, who could hear them? To the unbelieving and unhumbled sinner, all Christ's teachings are hard sayings. To such he is an austere man, and a hard master; and yet it is only by the arrows from his quiver, that his enemies are made to fall under him. Psalm 45.5.
Among the hard sayings of Christ, we select for our present purpose one which has a prophetic aspect; which has been in process of fulfillment heretofore, and still continues to be, before our eyes, till the present time. The saying is this, "It must needs be that offences come," Matt. 18.7.
We inquire into our Lord's meaning by the word offences; {290} why must they come? and then, notice some of those now prevalent among his professing disciples and others.
What is the meaning of offence?—not the popular meaning, but our Saviour's meaning? The common idea attached to the word, we believe, is something in the language or conduct of one person or party, which is displeasing to another. This is not the meaning of the word as here used by our Lord. It seems to have originated in the ingenious contrivance of hunters, composing a part of the fowler's snare. The Greek word, often used in the New Testament, calls our attention to a snare or trap, and to that part which may be called a trigger, on which the hapless beast or bird setting its foot, is entangled or captured. This is the radical import of the term offence. The English term scandal, which in popular usage has a much stronger meaning than offence, is nevertheless its exact equivalent. Indeed it is the very word of the Greek text merely Anglicized. To offend, therefore, is not to displease, to irritate, to insult, and so on; for in our Lord's sense, one may possibly offend another worst, when pleasing him most. To offend is to set a trap, to spread a snare for another; or, as it is elsewhere explained, to "lay a stumbling block in his way"—to impede his progress, or cause him to fall. To make the meaning, if possible, plainer, we may suppose a Christian minister to accompany his neighbour to the theatre, the ball-room, the race-course, the cock-pit;[1] or the drunkard to the liquor-bar or drinking saloon: would not the minister's example at once be pleasing to such characters, and mar their edification? We are commanded to "give none offence, neither to the Jews, nor to the Gentiles, nor to the church of God." 1 Cor. 10.32. Now, why must offences come? They are evil, and evil only; then why must they come? We are not in the secrets of the Most High; but he requires that we search the Scriptures and obey his law; that "every one of us please his neighbour for his good to edification." Doubtless one end to be subserved by the existence of offences, is to manifest the sovereignty of God. The malice and subtilty of Satan, with the corruption of human nature, and the outbreaking of this corruption among worldly professors, will certainly produce offences. And while God is not bound to prevent, he is pleased to permit them, that the glory of his sovereignty may be displayed in controlling them. By the existence and prevalence of offences, {291} the graces of true Christians are tried, increased, and manifested; and this is one of the ways in which God brings good out of evil. Thus He permits divisions to arise among church members. This is undeniable, and yet lamentable. But, what is still more to be lamented, he suffers heresies to be broached and propagated. Paul could assure the elders of Ephesus, that "grievous wolves would enter in among them, not sparing the flock; also of their own selves would men arise, speaking perverse things." Acts 20.29,30. Now, how could Paul predict these assaults upon the disciples as certainly future, but by the Spirit of God? and how could their certain futurition be known, but by the immutability of the divine purpose? In the sin of the first Adam, we have a demonstration of its existence and origin; in the sufferings of the last Adam, we have an equal demonstration of expiation of sin; and in both, an irrefragable proof of the sovereign decree of God. Divine sovereignty and human liberty must therefore be consistent, for they are obviously co-existent, as may be seen in these passages following: Acts 2.23; Rom. 5.12; 2 Cor. 5.21. True, we cannot explain how divine sovereignty and free agency co-exist. May we therefore deny, or refuse to believe their co-existence? Because the seed springs and grows up, we know not how (Mark 4.27), can we rationally deny either its existence or growth? No. Christ says,—and he has a right to say—"There must needs be offences;" and Paul, authorized by him, does not forbear to say, "There must be also heresies among you." 1 Cor. 11.19. Heresies are just part and parcel of the predicted and pre-ordained offences; and the immediate end of all is, "that they which are approved, may be made manifest"—made manifest to all spectators; angels, and men, good and bad; to the glory of God, their own and others' edification. And surely these are ends worthy of him who worketh all things after the counsel of his own will.
Keeping in view the Scriptural meaning of the words offend, offence, scandal, or stumbling-block; we cannot but acknowledge that offences abound everywhere among the disciples of Christ. Among an innumerable multitude of offences, we notice the following as most prevalent and detrimental to truth and godliness at the present time.
Many of both sexes refrain from openly confessing Christ, {292} because they think church members are no better than themselves. They hear them make use of profane language. They see them frequent the theater; and sometimes indulge in excess of wine and strong drink. They have also felt deeply wronged in their worldly business, by some of the more ostentatious and leading professors—ministers not expected. All true, too true, and to be deplored. Having heard, seen, and felt, that some professed disciples of Christ will swear, lie, and cheat; decent men and women conclude too hastily that Christianity cannot be divine. Thus the name of God (the true religion) is blasphemed among the Gentiles, through them who thus give offence. [Rom. 2.24.] Yet both parties are guilty before God; the carnal professor, because by his unchristian conduct he throws stumbling-blocks in his neighbour's way; and the man of the world, however respectable, because he makes the professor the test or standard of Christianity, instead of the Bible and its Author. In vain, however, will the inquirer come to the knowledge of the truth, while his attention is abstracted from the holy Scriptures to stumbling-blocks. We know not a more hopeless and foolish enterprise by fallen men, than the attempt to cover his moral nakedness from the omniscient God, by a covering constructed of either the infirmities or sins of a Christian professor. It will prove, on trial, no more available [availing] than the fig-leaves of our first parents.
On the other hand, "Woe to the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come"—and still for the same glorious object, "that they which are approved may be made manifest."
We are all by nature much more concerned for our own honour, than for the glory of God. Paul complained of this when he said, "All seek their own, not the things that are Jesus Christ's;" and yet Solomon says, "For a man to search his own glory, is not glory;" it is all deception. [Phil. 2.21; Prov. 25.27.] And our Lord asks, "How can ye believe which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour which cometh from God only?" [John 5.44.] This has always been an offence, a stumbling-block to unbelievers; and as it has been a principle element in the organization of the Great Anti-Christ; we think it never was a more prevalent offence among Protestants, than at this time. The innovations and consequent confusion, unions and consequent divisions, among almost all denominations, are very stumbling to many. Among the common {293} people, confidence in church guides is greatly shaken; therefore, to meet the natural cravings of the soul, "they heap to themselves teachers." [2 Tim. 4.3.] Then lay-preachers, male and female, in the attractive name of "revivalists," will not be slow to assume the place of leaders—especially when honour and emolument are in prospect. And is there anything more natural than that such unauthorized "evangelists," male and female, should wish to share in the loaves and fishes with pampered doctors of divinity and others; who profane the office of the Christian ministry, and degrade themselves, by co-operating with such, in "bringing souls to Jesus?" While the "working people—the masses" have too much self-respect to occupy a place in the gallery of the gorgeous edifice, or to be shoved off by the aristocracy; and while they can get little or no food from essays read by exquisites from cushioned desks on the Sabbath; is it strange, that when Christ crucified is scarcely noticeable in the learned theme, such persons should be arrested by the popular cry, "Behold he is in the desert! Behold he is in the secret chamber!?" [Matt. 24.26.] The "anxious benches" of former years have given place to "inquiry rooms;" and fixed with "wandering stars" combine to "lead sinners to the Saviour." These are gins, traps, snares, stumbling-blocks, less palpable than the kind mentioned before, and therefore more dangerous. "If it were possible, they would deceive the very elect." [Matt. 24.24.] But, "it must needs be that offences come."
Finally, since offences must come, and heresies must be; let those who would manifest that they are approved; who would "clean escape from them who live in error," carefully try the spirits—modern revivalists—and their work, by the standard of God's word, and the subordinate standards of the covenanted Reformation; and they shall have no stumbling-blocks. Ask thus,—Have these commotions any organization? a regular ministry? any government? any discipline? Are they jointly or severally accountable to any authority on earth for error or immorality? If not, "from such turn away."
1. The term cock-pit, which is now usually given a very different meaning, in our author's time referred literally to the enclosed pit used for cock fights. In its figurative use it may also refer to the arena where is held a contest, fight, or battle.—JTK.
