bondage and not knowing OF better
life. You need redeemer free you
from sin.
And we who first trusted in Christ
have received the forgiveness Of our
sins according to IT, riches Of his
grace.
What is the forgiveness Of sins? Or.
George Adam -mith suggests these
facts in answer to that question: The
consciousness of sin, of being out of
harmony with what is pure and true,
is manifested by men i'm all lands and
all faiths. And the saintliest Of men
are most keenly Conscious f Il.
III you would find a true confession
Of sin you would go not to the cell of
a criminal, however bitterly he might
declare his guilt, but to the closet of a
saint. It is David in his Psalm 81, or
Isaiah crying Woe is mel for I am Il
man of unclean lipsl' or Paul writing
to Timothy: This Is a faithful saying
and worthy Of all acceptation, that
Christ Jesus came into the world to
save sinners, Of whom I am chief That
reveals TO us real consciousness of sin.
Forgiveness Of Sin
THE forgiveness Of sn is the making
the sinful one to know that lie is at one
with God again, healthy IN spirit. a son
in very truth and that God has con-
fidence in him.
Here is a young man, a common
type. He is a failure and knows 1t.
Long habits have ruined him. He has
sinned against God and love and every
sacred relationship. lie does not be-
lieve in himself and no one believes n
him. One day the truth of God reaches
him, for it reaches men in many ways.

assurance of redemption through his
blood and then the forgivenesg of sins
according to his grace.
THAT forgiveness does hot mend
broken fortune CT health-maybe does
not mend broken reputation. But ~
gives health of )ul and assurance of
Gods love, and best of all assurance
that God has confidence in him. How
Paul, for instance, wondere,. that ever
God could give to him the privilege OF
preaching Christ. So this man finds
that God trusts him when he first trusts
in Christ.
Christianity and Wisdom
Another result from such trust is
that God abou. .6s toward us in all
wisdom and prudence. Christianity and
wisdom are thus closely linked together.
A Christian is wise in that he has his
spiritual understanding enlarged.
He is not wise after the worlds
thought. He does not learn shrewd
dealing, selfish method of trade, cruel
greed, but he is wise in measuring e
things according to their real value and
in understanding that in the fullness of
time God will gather together in one
all things in Christ.
1.-The Christian knows that the Christ
mind or thought is right and that one
day his Lord will rule in all things. He
can help to hasten that divine event,
not so far off maybe as we think-when
Christ shall rule in all of the relation
ships of men.
THE other result of that first trust
irg in Christ is that in him we have
obtained an inheritance, a present joy
and courage of life and consciousness of
Gods love and at once ap earnest of
that inheritance into which we are one
day to enter. Christ is. Will you trust
him?"
