am oft compelled 70 listen 10 a stIn
small voice within
As I sigh for paths forbidden or / con
template some sin;
Many a time I might have fallen. might
be lost or 20 astray.
But my conscience's gentle pleading keeps
me IN the better way.
Conscious. precious conscious. tbs a boon

And a soul without a conscience is a
wretch, both heart and mind.
Conscious is the souls great headlight.

! could not close my eyes al night
II had never done
A kindly act throughout the light
o; day til setting sun.
I could not say my prayers so fast
To Him whom al things know:
I'd feel ashamed myself 20 ask
Him help some friend OF foe.
When all day long I've idle been
With so much work 10 do.
or course my conscience says sin;
Oh. may I e'er be true
True 70 myself. true 10 my God.
True 70 my fellow-man;
Then I could freely say. On. Lord.
I've done the best can

Bidding US 10 walk through life

For the Jewel OF conscience therein lies
And "a heart that is large enough 20

Al men as brothers Is better than gold %

directs and whose immortality IL assures.
ELEANOR s b. HICKSON.
Conscience is that peculiar faculty OF
the soul which may be called the re-
hgious instinct II first reveals itself
when We become aware OF the strife be-
tween a higher and a lower nature within
us-of spirit warrlng against flesh. or
good striving for the mastery over evil.
II is out Of this religion Is born. the
higher law leading Us Up 20 one whom
the law OF conscience represents
We feel. each one OF Us. that our habits
and temptations are not our masters. bur
We or them
Even In yielding 10 them We know that
We could resist. and that were We desir-
Gus Of throwing them on altogether.
there could not be required for that pur-
pose a stronger desire OF viii than We
know ourselves 10 be capable OF feeling.
Conscience is the very essence OF fndi-
vidual character and gives a man self
control and the power Of resisting temp
tations and defying them.
Fear 70 DO base. unworthy things IS
yaIoE;
II they be done 70 US. to suffer them.
