that the feet Of the pupils csnnot

81 Believe in the Forgiveness of Sins,

1t is related Of Luther. that. under his
first deep convictions Of sin, he received
much light and aid from the intelligent
and kindly Staupilz. who gave him
Bible, and told him to study its pages
Yet. through failure 10 comprehend dis
tinctly the way of salvation. the earnest
monk was still far from peace. His con.
science was agitated by fearful sense Of
sin. So sore were his conflicts. that his
health gave way, and lie was brought to
the gates. His anguish aud terrors re-
doubled at the prospect of death. He was
painfully distracted by vivid apprehen
sion Of his own impurity and Gods ho Ii.
ness.
While be lay in the convent thus over
whelmed with dispair, an old me nix. as
Malanclhon relates, entered his cell and
won his confidence. so that Luther opened
his heart and disclosed all the fears which
disquieted him. The old man, with the
utmost simplicity. referred him to the
Apostles Creed. and uttered aloud tbi
article: L bel eve in the forgivness OF
SINS
These simple words so artlessly recited,
came 10 Luther like good news from far
country, and shed sweet consolation on
his heart. ~.
