 T know the things that come into kiel xi-6. ..1.s The mind of man can have no se- face ta face with the onniseence of God. You know everything that ia in your chiid's wardrobe but very little 9t what E in your chiid's mind. God think we can shut Him out from the cape from God.
 This doctrine is the more remark the old Testament. Without the Pen tateuch we would not have had the Gospels. They assume the old Tes- it., You cannot have read the gospel arikht if you have not first read the Pentatench. TX
 T know thA. things of which come Into your mRdS Not only 'all the worlds but I3e knows what is going on in the seHret heart of the mean est member of the great thrnngs Of people in this world and others.
 Wonderful is the concurrent tsAti- mony of the Bible on this mental ofnniscence. T have heard the mur- mprings of the children of israel our murmurs are not spoken. Our deepest. bitterest signs, countless to all else are known to Him. There is the spsr rsproseSs sssss s ns sssSSsins none escape Him. God says; T know what you are thinking about and your complaints: know all your little frets providence"
 "rhe Lord Ioketh upon the heart"; not the little muscle which the phy- siolcgist calls heart but that spirit- one believes this in, theory. and yet 1t is called commonplace, Gods eye burns on your soul's soul! Who can
 T know the things that come into your mind" This should be. a great terror to us. Hear Joh; His eyes are upon the ways of man. and He seeth
 What? Not one moment alone? Not one secret thought or undivided pur- pose? Not one little corner of the heart to which one can retreat and think without the presence and criti- cism of God? Hear Job again: ''No thought can be withholden from Thee" Nor did Job bear testimony alone, David says: He that pIeaseth the ear. shall He not hear? He that formed the eye, Shall He not see? He that teacheth man Knowledge. shall He of cold reason. God knoweth the way of the soul.
 There is an evil thought against a brother: We have never spoken 1t
 
 day. hour and minute. and there t stands, There is secretly planned device wrought out In the imagery of know7 Is there Knowledge with the Most High?' We elaborate our mis- chief. and it is all telephoned to Heaven. The soul will not. cannot, keep it's secret from God. Whenever the soul speaks. 1t speaks right into a telephone; it cannot help doing SO.
 This should be great comfort to Es wha? Both @ terror ants,a and a com. so fear "The eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth to show Himself strong in the toward EesT H Him" n" Tne " Very thing that Is terror to the bad Is ( comfort to the

 His otnnIseence is our defense. He knoweth our frame. He remembereth that we feared moment ago is hs- come our city of refuge. He knows our frame; how slender and frail we are; knows our our, temperament; ssine our our head-7eyerything, and He also remem- hers twi1at we are SO apt to forget ? that We are but dust. The Knowledge of God Is either our he'll or heaven.
 Our Lord reiterates this. doctrine when He. speaks of the falling spar row. He says Not one of tn em shall on the ground without your Father" It took God the Father, God the Son God the Holy Ghost. to set that little pendulum heart in motion: 1t took the Trinity to shape that small eye. And God will guard and keep what He hath made.
 This being so leave thy all to the providence of God. Do not interfere or meddle, or worry. Do not tear thy self even for thy own shortcomings. Leave all to thy Fathers love and care, He will do what is best and right
 Almighty God. unto whom all hearts are open. all desires know. and from whom no secrets are hid; cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiFa- tion of Thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love Thee and worthily mag nifty Thy holy name, through Christ our Lord. Amen"
