St. Landry democrat. (Opelousas, La.) 1878-1894, 1890-08-23
"Look to Thy Conscience. "

Wouldst thou preserve thy faith, look
to thy conscience. A good conscience is
the ship faith sails in if conscience be
wrecked, how can it be thought that faith
would be safer L. faith be the Jewel, a
good conscience is the cabinet in which it
Is kept; and if the cabinet be broken, the
jewel must needs be in danger of losing.
Now you know what sins waste the con-
science-sins either deliberately committed
or impenitently continued st. Oh, take
heed OF deliberate sin like a stone thrown
into clean stream, it will disturb thy
soul and muddy it, that thou, who even
now couldst see thy interest in the prom
ise, will now be at a loss and not know
what to think of myself They are like a
fire on the top of a house; it will be no
easy matter to quench it But if thou hast
been SO unhappy as to fall into such a
slough, take heed of lying in it by impen-
itence; the sheep may fall into a ditch,
but it is the swine that waliow in it; and
therefore how hard wilt thou find il, think
est thou, to act thy faith on the promise
when thou art by thy filthy garments and
besmeared countenance SO unlike one of
Gods holy onesi 1t is dangerous to drink
poison, but far more to let it lie in the
body long. Thou canst not act thy faith,
though believer, on the promise, so as to
apply the pardon it presents to thy soul,
till thou has renewed thy repentance

Free Delivery.

There is bill in the Senate, which will
pretty surely become law, extending the
free delivery of letters to all towns of 5000
Inhabitants and more.
The measure is good one, SO far as 1t
goes; but it liz at least an open question
whether it might not go further with adj
vantage. Sooner or later, presumably. the
free delivery system will be extended to
all letters In this country, as it is in other
civilized countries, and the committee
having the present bill in charge would do
well TO consider the question whether it
might not be practicable to extend the
privilege now to much smaller towns and
villages than those of 5000 population
say 10 sill of 1000 or over.
The expense OF hiring letter carrier in
village or country town to distribute the
daily mail would not be very great. and
the convenience to the people would be
considerable. The cost of the service
would be Offset in large degree by the
increased use of the mails.
Ultimately free delivery will be univer-
sal without doubt, and even the dweller
in the country will have his weekly or
emi-weekly mail delivered at his door
