| God IL for the future we should
abstain from sin, that would be no
| dctrayment Of past indebtedness Though
you should live from this time forth pure as
an archangel before the throne, that would
not redeem the past. God, In tho Bible, dis
| tinctly declares tha. he "wi1 require that
which is past"-past opportunities, past neg
! lects, past wicked words, past impure imag-
nations, past everything. The past Is a great
cemetery, and every day is buried in it. And
| here is a long row Of three hundred and sixty
| five graves They are the dead days OF 1883.
| Hero is long row Of three hundred and
| sixty-fivc more graves, and they arc the dead
days Of 1857 And here is n long row Of
three hundred and sixty-ive more graves,
and they arc the dead days Of 1856. II is a
vast cemetery OK the past. But God will
rouse them al up with resurrectionary blast
| and as tho prisoner stands face u face with
juror and judge, SO you and / will have to
come W and look upon those departed days
face to face, exulting in their smile or cover
ing in their frown.
MURDER WILL OUT"
Murder will out" is q proverb that stops
too short. Every sin, however small as well
as great, will out In hard times in England
years ago, it is automatically stated that a
manufacturer was on his way, with bag of
money, to pay OF his hands. y man, infuri
ated with hunger, met him on the road and
took n rail with nail il it from p1line
fence and struck him down, and the nail en
teriny his skull instantly slew him. Thirty
wears after that the murderer went back tC
| that place He passed into the grave yard
where the sexton was digging grave, and
while he stood there the spade OF the sexton
turned up n skull, and, To- the murderer saw
O nail prot-uding from tho back part of th'
skull; and rs the sexton turned the skull II
seemed, with hollow eyes, to glare or
the murderer and be, first petrified
with horror, stood in silence, but soor
cried out: Guilty! guilty. Godr
The mystery Of the crime was over. The
man was tried and executed. Ny friends, all
! tho unpardoned sins Of our lives, though We
nav think they are buried out OF sight and
como into mere skeleton Of memory, vii
turn up in the cemetery Of the past and glover
upon us with their misdoings. i say all oul
uny,ardorod sins Oh, have you done ths
preposterous thing Of supposing that gooC
resolutions for the future will WIPE out the
pastl Good resolutions, though they may b
pungent and csus,c rs alkali, have no power
to neutralize sin. have no power 20 vast
away a trarsgrcsson Il wants something
moro than earthly chemistry TO do this. Yea
yea, though Il wash my hands with snow
water. and should cleanse my hands in alkaii
yet shalt thou plunge mo in the ditch, anC
mine own clothes shall abhor me-"
