cry and baleful, the word saturated
with the most trouble, the word that ac-
counts for all the loathsomencss and
the pang and the outrage and the har-
rowing, and that word is sin" You
spell it with three letters, and yet those
three letters describe the circumference
and pierce the diameter of everything
bad in the universe. Sin is Il sibIant
word. You cannot pronounce il with
out giving the siss of the flame or the
hiss of the serpent. Sin! And then If
you add three letters to that word
it describes everyone of us by nature
sinner. Wehave outraged the law of God,
not occasionally, or now and then, but
perpetually. The Bible declares it.
IIark 1t thunders two claps! "The
heart is deceitful above all things and
desperately wicked" "The soul that
sinneth, it shall die" What the Bible
says our own conscience aflirms.
After Judge Morgan had sentenced
Lady Jane Grey to death his conscience
troubled him so much for the deed that
he became insane, and all through his
insanity he kept saying: take her
away from me! Lady Jane Grey! Take
her awayl Lady Jane Grey!" 1t was
the voice of conscience. And no man
ever does anything wrong, however
great or small, but his conscience brings
that matter before him, and at every
step of his misbehavior il says: Wrong,
wrong!" Sin is a leprosy; sin is par
alysis; sin is n consumption; sin is
polluton; sin Is death. Give II fair
chance, and ii will swamp you and me,
body mind and soul, forever. In this
world IL only gives faint intimation
of its virulence. You see n patient in
the first stages of typhoid fever. The
cheek is somewhat flushed, the hands
somewhat hot, pereceded by n slight
chill. "Why." you say, typhoid fever
does not seem to be much of disease"
But wait until the patient has been six
weeks under ii, and all his energies
have been wrung out, and he is too weak
to lift his little finger, and his intellect
gone then you see the full havoc Of
the disease. Now. sin in this world is
an ailment which is only in its first
stages, but let it get under full way
and it is an all-consuming typhoid. Oh,

and our respiration would be cholled,
and our heart would break. If your
sins are unforgiyen, they are bearing
down on YOU and YOU are sinking
sinking away from happiness, sinking
away from God. sinking away from
