III. 4 Loring Heart discortrs more of
God than an Excited Conscience.
lido not refer to a scared conscience,
for II has ceased Ito act, but to nn
awakened conscience. Tho conscience
Is not perfect. II does not always correct
the errors. Tho heathen world Is con.
scientiously wrong, Just as Paul was
when ho was on his way to Damascus
10 prosecute tho Christians. lie thought
no was doing Gods service. Tho con.
science needs to sbe educated, 10 be
enlightened. But even an enlightened
conscience does not help us very much
in tho knowledge Of II Heavenly
Father.
Conscience intctprets sin in tho
heart; It reveal tho brokeBtIaw md an
imperfect life. Like asmffror VIC can
look into 1t and see q sinful heart, evil
thoughts and q corrupt life. Turning
this mirror Of conscience toward God,
we got the reflection OF his PROJECTIONS.
1t shows us that God is holy and VIC aro
%.unholY. It's language is: GLOW can.
two walk together unless they agree ?''
"What fellowship hath Righteousness
with unrighteousness; and what COM
munion hath light with darkness 2"
Conscience condemns, whilo love par.
dons. Conscience causeth fear, while
perfect love casteth out fear. Conscience
separates US from God, while love binds
us in the bundle OF life with God. Con-
science drives us away from God in
despair, while love draws us near to
Him that We m9y know Him. 1t ia not
the vivid in Imagination, or clear in
brain, or excited In conscience, but "the
pure in heart that shall SEQ God" AS
ministers OF the gospel VIC sock to re-
veal God to the world. Men arc CRYING
out on every hand, "Sir, we would SEQ
Jesus" In order to exhibit God to
men We must first know him ourselves.
And the only way to know God Is by
love, for che that loyeth not, knoweth
not God, for Godis lovc."
We ought to have NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.,
so that We could better grasp tho spir.
itual and paint tho pictures of truth 50
that our heavens would be enraptured
by it. 10 dtf4 re
We ought to be intellectual mon, with
minds well trained aud filled with
knowledge, ior God demands tho best
OF the world in his service; the best of
the tlocks and herds in sacrifice; the
best OF the harvest for offerings; tho
best OF intellccts in lis service. God
demands tho best quality OF men, for
tho ministry. AS Prof. Drummond
puts it, 1T is not more mon that the
world wants, but men OF q better
brand" There should be an educated
ministry, 60 that wo might be able to
present the gospel in such.a way, that
it will carry with it weight and power.
Wo ought to be possessed with an
awakened conscience that would tell US
what is wrong, and help us to steer
clear OF the hidden rocks, Oil which SO
many have shipwreckcd. A,conscience
void OF oifense toward Cod and toward
men. We need to be conscientiously
right in this work of salvation. But
above all else we must have that love
which will transform us, and enable us
to know God and reveal him to the
world. The Keynote Of ,R%omanism,
Mohamedanism and all idolatrous re-
ligions Interpretations devotion. The
keynote OF Agnosticlsm is-cold specu-
l%ation; while the keynote OF Christian
ity is-love. We should have that love
for God, that will grasp the Divine and
bring Him down to earth ;tand love for
our fellow NOR that will lift them up to
heaven, that through the medium OF
love they may know this God OF love.
