again as the flesh of a little child.
where sin abounded grace mucl
more aboundeth." With the 10,0O'
unpardoned sins of your life, go ant
tell Jesus.
You will never get rid of your sins
in any other way. And remember
that the broad invitation which / ex'
tend to you will not always be ex'
tended. King Alfred, before modern
timepieces were invented, used to di
vide the day into three parts, eight
hours each, and then had three waA
candles. BY the time the first candle
had burned to the socket eight hours
had gone. and when the second can
die had burned to the socket another
the three candles were gone out then
the day had passed. Oh, that some OF
us, instead of calculating our days
and nights and years by any earthly
timepiece, might calculate them by
the numbers of opportunities and mer-
cies which are burning down and
burning out, never to be relighted, lest
at last we be amid the foolish virgins
who cried: Our lamps have gone
out!"
Again L commend the behavior OF
the disciples to all who are tempted.
| have heard men in midlife say they
had never been led into temptation.
If you have not felt temptation, it is
because you have not tried to do
right. A man hoppled and handcuffed,
as long as he lies quietly, does not test
the power of the chain, but when he
rises up and with determination re-
solves to snap the handouts Or break
the hopple, then he finds the power of
the iron. And there are men who have
years bound hand and foot by evil
habits who have never felt the power
of the chain because they have never
tried to break it. 1t is very easy to
go on down with the stream and with
the wind lying on your oars, but just
turn around and try to go against the
wind and the tide, and you will find it
is a different matter. AS long as we
go down the current of our evil habit
we seem to get along quite smoothly,
but il after awhile we turn around
ord baod tba o+ber wov toward Christ
ond Dordon "a uoovor oh thar how,
,yo bora +o 1ar 20 +ho oars, Won will
have your temptation. You have one
kind, you another, you another, not
one person escaping.
