cont vour righteousness shall exceed the right
eoi1sness of the Scribes and Pharisees. lie
said that it was a mistake to suppose God was
uneoncerned about details--the small things OF
this world. The little things OF nature are
made with greater nicely than tne large tnlnSs,
for a character of general goodness ana that
tbe individual points of a mans character are
unimnortant. Nothing but q perfect righteous
ness will be accepted by the great Judge.
Christ's Righteousness alone is perfect ana man
must accept the sacrifice. OF the saviour o any

subject in the evening was, ave are DEBTORS.
He said that a Christian was debtor to ms
Saviour for goods which could not be obtained
from any other source-an easy conscience,
fifth and hope, and the debt could not be DIS
charged. He had gwen a note OF nand whlch
ran as follows: For value received | promise
to nav the Lord Jesus Christ, DAY by day, Il
nIain, unmistakable reverence, and l pledge my
self to love, loyalty and labor If the pro-
fessed Christian does not honestly pay his debt
he will tnd at the end that he has deceived ann
self. and instead of receiving from the LORD the
ren1ine articles which he was hoping to obtain
without honest Aayment, he has stumbled into
the pawnshop Of the devil, and what he sup
posed was an easy conscience Is Dut a porous
plaster to keep his ownNuiet.
