1t is disobedience to God. Any man
who commits 4 sin. no matter how
small he may call IL, is a law-breaker.
Half a point off the course has brought
many a good ship upon the rocks.
Half q point from strict truthfulness
makes a falsehood. The beginnings of
vice are generally small. In the second
place the authority of God seems to
be more despised in the committing of
small sins than in the yielding to great
sins. There is less of temptation IN
little sins Little sins hide God from
the one who commits them. Our great
est danger lies in our holding on TO
these little sins. The little child could
not withdraw his hand from the vase
because he was holding on TO his pen
ny. Some of us are like the little
child. holding on to something that
keeps God out. Ii we will drop our
copper, God will give US gold. Little
sins keep us in the habit Of SHINING.
Many man says. Il know what I'm

what they call little sins. men become
fixed in the habit Of sin from which
they never extricate themselves. A

So my friends, our little sins destroy

But perhaps the greatest danger in
little sins is the extreme difficulty
there is in convincing men OF the great
danger and evil there Is in them. II
