The only absolutely just record Of
our lives is with God. He searcheth
our hearts. He knows the motives Of
our best and worst deeds. We may
succeed in deceiving others. but we
cannot deceive Him. Our sorrows and
our shame. our desires and our pur
poses. our Imagination and mental
struggles. our ideals and dreams--ali,
all are known to Him Who readeth
our lives. Who hath set our secret
sins in the light of His countenance."
These are our records. What ia the
we have written? Never. But do we
not talk of past covered by atOning
blood. Yes. the love of God can heal
the wound that sin has made. but
nothing can remove the scar. We
must keep our records clean. We must
learn to say no. to sin promptings and
world sirens that lure us to ill.,
What of the record we have left in
the minds of them: II 1t be unfavor
able, the only way to heal it is to COM
pei them to change their estimate by
giving them plain evidence Of chang
ed life. The record from faults may
remain. but we can write across 1t
some such sentence as this: HE il a
changed man. He Is not what he once
was. He Is living a holy and blame
less life" And what Of Gods book of
judgment: l bring you good news.
He promises to cover our sins from
His own sight and remember them
against us no more forever. He offers
to cast them into the sea Of forgetful-
ness. And all for the sake of His eter-
nal son. with Him Is mercy and
plenteous redemption" But. remem-
Der, there is only one way to obtain
that pardon. that remission. 1t is His
way. There Is none other name
