Psalms COW. 8, ''Thou hast set our iniquitiss
before thee our secret sins In the light Of thy
countenance.n
From this text the reverend gentleman dis
eearssa upon ths subject Of secret evil and It's
Anal sreyelation- At tho Judgment, whom all the
secftts o. nah shall be revealed. The tendency
Of sin to hide ITSELF Its success In 90 doing, and
the vast amount Of unexpected evil which ex.
ists In The world were dwelt upon at some length.
The eonseiousnnss Of guilt hiding itself, the con.
science rebuking the sinner, and the heavy bur-
den the soul that oonceals Its sins from the eyes
Of mon has TO bear were portrayed. The reli-
gious hypocrite, the person guilty Of secret sins
from youth, the deceiver in business, the be-
trayer o. confidence, were each described, and
warned Of their evil doings. And tho fact that,
however much We may conceal these things from
man, theY are all known to the all-searching eye
Of God was used to impress the uselessuess Of
seeking to do evil under the mask Of upright
ness. Whilst tho assurance Of Gods word that
all these things shall DO brought into judgment
and DISCLOSED at last was urged to persuade sin
nsrs TO fesf TO pursue their evil ways. The ser
mon closed with m appeal 10 Christians TO be
faithful for jesus sake, who knows all our SHORT
comings, and WHOSE heart is grieved by them
| and who will havb TO bear tho burden Of them.
II we are faithful, the speaker said, these mani.
