scribing on the roll of parchment be-

the man standing near, he said:
Deliver this into the hand of Joab,
captain of the hosts of Israel. Delay

There was harshness almost of en-.

he had greeted him on the day before
that Uriah started visibIy. He hest

North China Daily News writes: 1.-THE
newspapers have latterly been full of
all sorts of suggestions for the stamp

kill rats; if you do the fatal rat flea
may be driven to feed on you. Also,
compel each householder to keep
cats. In fact, let the cult of the cat

viyed in India. Plenty Of cats, no

SERMONETTE.

) Sinful indulgence in an idle
} hour made David a murderer.
I Little dio he think on that first
, night Of pleasure to what awful
) depths his sin was to lead him.
, But the pathway Of sin leads
I downward and ever farther and
( farther away from God. One
I wrong step is taken in the de-
} sire to crafty some unhoIy long
, ing and then a dozen more
Z steps are found necessary in the
( attempt to cover up the traces
5 of the sinful conduct.
The progressiveness of sin is
( ore of its most striking char
( acteristics. No n starts out
) with the purpose, or even ex-
} pectation, Of becoming a mur-
Z derer. The boy with his first
( glass, or his first night out
s in questionable companionship,
; does not stop to think what the
J fuf fruition of his first mis-
( step may be. The man who
{ takes his first fling at spccuIa-
) ton does not see himself an en-
, bezzier behind the bars, dis
Z grace and suffering brought
< upon his innocent wife and chill
) dren. He begins with the ex-
, p~ectation of winning and &C
: curing riches quickly. Perhaps
, he does win and is tempted to
, go 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
Z his employer, CT from funds en-
. trusted TO his care, expecting to
, pay it back as soon as his luck
J turns, as he says. And SO it
goes on, step at a time, until
: at last he is ruined beyond the
, hope of recovery. And so it is
, with any sinful course upon
, which n may enter.
: If it takes 40 lies to v up
, the first lie told, so is it with
} other forms of sin, it takes in
Vulnerable wrongs to cover up
|, ard hide the first wrong done.
, But what folly for the soul to
, think that it can cover and hide
its sin. "Re sure your sin will
, find you out" is the solemn
!, warning Of Scripture.
!, And again Gods Word de-
, ciares that she that covereth his
} sins shall not prosper"
! What utter folly then for the
|. human heart to go bIindly on in
) sin, thinking that it can deceive
God and Some day all the
I sinful conduct will be revealed
, IN all its awfuiness.
, The power TO resist sin is
} weakened the farther one goes
! on in his sinful course. In
|, Proverbs 5:22 the sins are
!, likeneo unto cords that bind
!, one.
} There comes to mind the
I story of CULVER in the land of
|. the Llliiputs. The tiny crea-
lures bound the ereaf 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
less to resist the attacks of his
little enemies. So is it with sin.
Let us remember, also, that
however much we may deceive
the world, we cannot deceive
God. "My sins are not hid from
thee" excIaims the psalmist.
Neither more are yours and
mine.

tempting to cross a stream in a
buggy while the water was high

on small island in the Rivanna

young woman out of the garment
