sin. He who will lie, and he who will

II, for Instance, a man be impure It
opens the door for all other iniQuity,
for in that one inlQuity he commits
theft OF the worst kind, and covetous-
ness OF the worst kind, and falSehOOd-
pretending TO be decent when he is
not-and maltreats his parents by dis
graciug their name, if they were good.
BE careful, therefore, how y7u charge
that sin against any man either in high
place or low place, either In Office or
out OF Office, because when you make
that charge against a man you charge
him with all villaiRieS, with all dis
gusting propensities, with all rotten
ness.

BE careful, then, how you charge that

the whole length of investigation, and
find out whether or not he has repent

forgiveness of society and the forgive
