BE True to your Convictions.

No man has any right to expect or
even ask for clearer light OH his path
when he is not walking by the light
which he has.
Thousands of Christians are at a
stand in their Christian life because
they do not live according to the light
which they have. They habitually
disregard clear convictions of duty,
either allowing themselves in some
habit or feeling, which conscience con-
demns, or neglecting some duty to
which conscience calls them. The
ship may float in deep water, vet not
advance, even though the wind and
tide favor, if its anchor be cast. The
enc little sinful habit allowed. NAV
hinder child of God and stop all pro-
gress, while If he would be true to his
own convictions, he would speed on
ward to the haven of his desires.
A person who has no convictions to
guide and steady him is a mere floating
hulk, driven by every wind, drifted by
every current. a
BE not such q one. Be true to your
convictions in everything. Ifyou are
sure of course, follow IL; if you are
sure it is wrong, forsake il at once.
Such decision in one case prepares
you for deciding more easily and
promptly in another. Begin with the
first sin you discover in yourself, and
hew it to pieces.
