FIGHTING SINS.

In more than one place, the life Of the
Christian is compared to u military cam
paign. The experience Of every good man
attcsts the correctness Of the figure. Shining
and repenting constitutes the daily employ
ment of all those who have been born again.
We are beset behind and before by the great
enemy of souls. Often when we think that
we have totally vanquished some monster
vice, and hope we are ready to sit down and
enjoy time of peace, we find that another
more desperate in character, has attacked us
in more vital part. Again we have to grid
on our weapons of offense and defense, and
enter into the conflict in earnest. Soon, to
our utter astonishment we find the sin that
we once thought totally exterminated, rise
with determined energy, and instead of peace
and quiet, it is war on all sides.
In such an uneven conflict, the only hope
we have Of final victory, is that we have a
divine leader. He who leads the veteran
hosts of the redeemed to this war against sin,
is the maker and upholder of all things. He
is the king of peace. In his own good time,
the allied forces of Satan will be vanquished,
and glorious peace granted to each one who
enlists under his banner. Then all who love
him and serve him, will be able to say, 81
have fought good fight, have finished my
course, 1 have kept the faith henceforth
there is laid up for me crown Of righteous
hess"

TJNHE COOKING STOVES manufactured at our
works in Greensboro, n. G., give universal
satisfaction wherever introduced. They are made
of the BEST SCOTCH PIG METAL, with heav-
ier and thicker plate than any other Stove in tho
market, and consequently will the longer with
stand heat and hard usage. They are of hand
some pattern and neat finish, and warranted equal
in every other respect to any Cooking Stove sold
in the United States, while is confidently claimed
that they are the CHEAPEST. All the usual
pieces of ware and cooking utensils are furnished
with each Stove. An important consideration
with purchasers is the fact that our patterns and
sizes are never changed. Should piece get acci-
dentally broken at amy time, we can replace it at
the mere cost of casting. Not simply because it
is home production, but on account of its intrin-
sic merits as article of hold economy, do
we ask the patronage of home purchasers. More
than ONE THOUSAND of these Stoves are now
in use, and among many others having them we
respectfully refer to the following: R. T.. Guthrie,

TRUTH.


What is truth? Without an effort to give
an absolutely unexceptional definition, it may
be answered, "Truth is that which conforms
to reality" Theological truth is what God
has revealed to us in his word and in his
works. BY the power Of the truth we are
converted, and by it we are sanctified. The
first question that should be asked concerning
any and every doctrine is, Is it true that it is
as taught in Gods word and works? If it is
not found in the Bible, it is vain and fool
ish conjecture, calculated to do much harm,
both for time and eternity. Human dogmas
and human thrones may be very nice and
very congenial to degraded human nature !;
but they are baseless fabrics. n theological
theory, which is not plainly taught in the
Bible, or easily inferred from the general
scope of the Scriptures, may give indications
of vigorous intellect on the part Of the
originator; but it is most probable the whole
thing is lie, cminently calculated to cheat
its adherents out of the salvation of their i'm
mortal souls.
We are commanded to search for the truth,
to believe the truth, and to do the truth.
This simply means search the Scriptures, be-
licve what they teach, and do what they ell
Join. How irrational is it for any one to de-
wise theory and then 60 to the Scriptures
to find proof that the theory is correct. In
this way, theories, the most absurd and con-
Trajectory, are put into circulation. Theories
devised by reason are found, when tried by
the Bible, to be the most irrational.

HOW TO ESCAPE THE TRAP,

saw good story lately, that was headed
"How to Escape the Trap" 1t is sort Of a
fable. The story says that company Of rats
once met in the cellar of a house, to consult
together about their safety. A large steel trap
had been set in that cellar. 1t was bated
with good big piece of cheese, which smelled
very nice, and which they wanted very much
to get at. But they had seen number Of
their friends killed and wounded by this trap.
In this way they had learned that it was a
dangerous thing to meddle with. And now
they had met together to see if they could not
find out some way ofgetting that nice cheese
out of the trap, without any injury to them
selves. Many long speeches we're made, and
many plans suggested, but none of them
seemed to answer. At last one of them got
up and said: 81 move that committee of
two Of the strongest among US be appointed
to attend to this business. AndI think if one
of the committee will put his paws upon the
spring and keep it down, then the other can
take away the cheese with safety" This
seemed to meet with great favor. They
agreed that this was the best plan that had
been suggested, and they uttered loud squeal
in favor of it.
But Just then they were startled by faint
voice, and poor lame rat, with only three
legs came limping into the meeting. He
stood up to speak, and said
"My friends, | have tried the plan that
has just been proposed, and you see the result.
| lost my leg by it; that is what it cost me.
Now let me i've you my advice. If you
want to escape the dangers of that trap, the
best, way is to let 1t alone. Don't touch 1t.
Don't 90 near it."
And this is one of the ways in which Jesus,
our guiding star, keeps us out of danger.
Every sin is like trap. We cannot 60 near
it without danger And the advice which
Jesus gives us, when we are tempted to any
kind of sin, is always the same. lie says
Let it alone. Flee from it. Have nothing
to do with it. The best way to escape the
trap is not to 60 near it.--Reu. DR.. Ne,cton.
KEEP THE WORDS OUT-"I don't want to
hear naughty words" said little Charley,
to one of his school fellows
at does not signify" said the other boy.
"thev 20 in at one ear and out at the other. y
no" replied Charley, "the worst Of it
is, when naug ghty words get in, they stick SC

That is right. Keep them out ; for it is
sometimes hard work to turn them out when
they once get in.

"Why, am trying to remove the frost; but,
as fast as l get it off one square, it comes on
another" would you you not say: "Why,
man, let your windows alone and kindle a
fire, and the frost will soon come OFF," And
have you not seen people who try to break of
their bad habits, one after another, without
avail? Well, they are like the man who
tried to scratch the frost from his windows
Let the fire of love to God and man, kindled
at the altar of prayer, burn in their hearts,
and the bad habits will soon melt away"

LIGHT WASTED-A patent-medicine ad-

As far as it goes, this is perfectly satisfactory ;
but we want light upon another view of the
matter. Suppose mans rheumatism is only
of three years standing, must he let it stand
sixteen years more before the medicine will
cure it? Orif it has stood twenty years, is
there no hope of a remedy? We want to
know about this. 1t is going to be very un-
pleasant for man to endure rheumatism for
seventeen or eighteen years before he can take
medicine for it-lNar Adeler

[Origillal.1
CONFESSION.

When we sin, God requires us to confess
our SINS God docs not, however, propose to
pardon sin because the sinner becomes sorry
for his sins and confesses them. The ground
of forgiveness is the atoning sacrifice made
by Jesus Christ The reason God pardons
sinners, is Christ died for sinners. Notwith-
standing all this, pardon and confession are,
in the economy Of grace, inseparably connect
ed. When there is no confession there is no
pardon.
Our duties are of two kinds, and hence
our sins may be twofold in their nature. We
must worship and adore God supremely, and
at the same time respect the rights and ad-
vance the interests of our fellow men. We
may sin against God, or we may sin against
our fellew-meu. 1t is true that all sin is
against God. 1t is violation Of his law.
Still some sins are more directly against God
than Others and some sins are wholly against
him. 1t is possible for an individual to res
pect the rights of his fellow-men, and at the
same time neglect to worship and adore God.
As all sin is either directly or indirectly against
God, confession for all sins must be made to
him. In the matter of confession, however,
as in everything else, we must be careful to
render to God the things that are Gods, and
to Cesar the things that are Caesars. When
we sin in any way whatever against our tel-
low.mcn, we must confess our faults to them
If our neighbor has aught against US, that is,
if we have injured our neighbor in any way,
we are commanded, by our Saviour, to 60 to
him, make confession and be reconciled to
him.
Public sins should be confessed publicly,
and private sins, privately. What affects
only a single individual, should never be
made to involve whole community. We
may be guilty Of sins against God OF such
kind and character, that we should not make
confession of them in the presence of any one.
Every man is guilty of crimes against God
that he should keep concealed from his fel-
low.mcn They are crimes that do not affect
any one but the perpetrator.
Confession is sometimes all evidence Of
pcnitence, and sometimes it is not If we
confess our sins before they are found out, and
the way is fairly opened to our disgrace, it is
good evidence that we are truly sorry for our
sins but if we conceal our sins from the pub
lie, and deny our guilt until it is ferreted out
and proven upon us, there is doubt thrown
over the sincerity of our confession. There is
ground to suspect that our sorrow for our sins
is not godly sorrow, We confound the re-
suit with the cause. We may not be sorry
that we sinned but only that we were found
out. No doubt this is often the case When
ever we say that we are sorry that we sinned,
let us be sure that We are not mistaken.
