ETTE.

Sinful indulgence In an Idle
hour made David a murderer.
Little did he think on that first
night Of pleasure to what awful
depths his sin was to lead hiIl.
But the pathway Of sin leads
downward and ever farther and
farther away from God. One
wrong step 10 taken In the de.
sire to crafty some unholy long.
} ing and then a dozen more
steps are found necessary In the
attempt to cover up the traces
, Of the sinful conduct.
J The progressiveness Of sin Is
, n Of it's most striking char
!, scteristlcs. No I'M starts out
, with the purpose, or even eN-
!, pectation, Of becoming a muir.

! In questionable oompanionship,
, does not stop to think what the
J full fruition Of his first mis-
, step may be. The man who

, bezzler behind the bars, dis.
! grace and suffering brought

! dren. He begins with the ex-
, peetation Of winning and ae-
!, curing riches quickly. Perhaps
| he does win and is tempted to
, 90 In more heavily. He loses,
! and then borrows that he may
} speculate further to retrieve his
, losses. Again he loses. He
, must have money to pay the
, loan. He betrays his trust and
} takes the money he needs from
, his employer, or from funds en-
, trusted to his care, expecting to
, pay IL back as soon as his luck
, turns, as he says. And SO II
} goes on, step at a time, until
I at last he Is ruined beyond the
, hope Of recovery. And so It is
, with any sinful course upon
J which M may enter.
, " II takes 20 lies to v up

, warning Of Scripture.
: And again Gods Word de-
!, eIares that "he that covereth his
} sins shall net prosper"
, What utter folly then for the
, human heart to 90 blindly on In
) sin, thinking that It can deceive
, God and man. Some day all the
I sinful conduct will be revealed
( in all it's awfuIness.
s The power to resist sin Is
} weakened the farther one goes
, on In his sinful course. In
Proverbs 5:22 the sins are
& Iikened unto cords that bind
) one.
} There comes to mind the
Z story Of CULVER In the land Of
I the Lilliputs. The tiny crea.
, lures bound the great giant
} with their fraiI, filmy threads,
, which he might have blown
, away with a breath, but which
! In the aggregate formed a strong
, cord which covered him like a
} web and rendered him power
I less to resist the attacks Of his
, Iittle enemies. So is II with sin.
! Let US remember, also, that
, however much we may deceive
, the world, we cannot deceive
I God. "My sins are not hid from
, thee" excIaims the psalmlst.
) Neither more are yours and
, mine.

BY the courtesy OF the Philadelphia
Record we are able to reproduce a
strong cartoon, the original Of which
appeared In a recent issue Of that
newspaper. The picture has for Its
central thought the steadily increasing
prosperity Of the American farmer. In
the foreground are two stalwart tillers
Of the soil standing back to back,
while Uncle Sam Is taking the meas.
ure of their respective s%tatures. He
finds that the farmer OF 1907 is half
a head taller than he of 1906, and the
legend explains that 1907 has given
the farmer in earnings zone billion
dollars more" than in 1906. Leaning
over the fence with wistful, envious
expression is the Wall street specu-
lator, his empty pockets turned inside
out, and fervently exclaiming: Il wish
| was a farmer!"
For this striking depletion Of the
splendid earnings OF the American
farmer. the Free-Trade Record Is TO
be commended. We do not suppose
that the intention was to suggest that
the farmer has grown more and more
stalwart, and that his earnings show
