il the Lord. Rev. Ver) He said in part.
CONSCIENCE Is not n proper test of human
conduct. much less the perverted opinions of
others. Paul was not conscious of ANYTHING
against him hut this did not prove him inno-
cent 1t is the Lord who has reserved to
himself the right to pass judgment upon all
human conduct. His ways of looking at
things are surely very different from ours but
upon the test of his view, and not ours, we
will stand or fall at the last day. The final
verdict will no doubt contain some very great
surprises both ways.
In reviewing the principles upon which
Divine judgment will be rendered the sneaker
concluded with the statement that all conduct
by which pleasure or profit is had bv COM
plicity with evil will be condemned. He sai,.
IAN agricultural fair might be IA good thing,
but when it was used as poor gaIze cover
ing for the hdeous deformties of the worst
of fakes and gambing-a peripatetic Glou-
rcster-it is time that good people drew the
line. Their consciences may not condemn
them for Il part in such evils--but the Lord
will"
