David felt while refusing to confess:
When I kept silence my bones

Confession.

David recognizes the inherent evn
of sin. He saw it as transgression.
as rebellion. iniquity. twisted thing.
as sin-missing the mark set for the
soul David knew it was no light
thing.
Sin in relation to God is transgres-
sion, failure, denial, turning away.
blasphemy, hatred. In relation to
man it is shame and isolation, tire
some and dreary monotony. degener-
acy, bondage, death. There are sins
of thought, of word. of deed; secret
sins, family sins, business sins, social
sins. An awful catalogue: Adultery,
fornication, uncleanness, lascivious-
ness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred,
variance, emulations, wrath, strife.
solutions, heresies, envyings, muir
ders, drunkenness. revelings, and such
like. Gal 5:19-2D. Fools make a
mock of sin. Society goes to the
theater. sees a story of sinful hus-
bands and wives, and laughs; 1t
speaks of a drunkard. or libertine or
unbeliever, and calls him a pretty
name.

He gave deep and troubled sigh; for he
was coming to decision, and it was unusu-

habit OF saying yes or no when pressed for
time. Greed and a conscience that had
been long dormant, but was now struggling

ever he did, this was the turning point
All his life he had been the first rat to leave
the sinking ship, and now to his own amaze
ment, he had come aboard a ship that held
him. His native shrewdness told him that
the ship must sink, and yet he had come to
love the planks over which he slipped and
struggled.
Moreover, he was confronted with another
necessity for decision; inasmuch as the
affairs Of the Seattle office were at such
stage that it must become secondary in i'm
portance to the office in Port Hatch, now
presided over by Little Billy, who had be-

WANTS THE CHURCHES CLOSED

So much of a stir has been created up in Hartford by what Professor Fisher said about closing all churches for a while, and so much comment on his suggestion is sure to be made elsewhere, that it seems worth while to give what seems to be the exact words he used. This is what the rep resentative of Wesleyan University said to the members of a local or ganization, the Get-TOgether club, in telling them Connecticut's needs:
 T would draw a bill for a Sunday law, throwing it wide open with cer- tain restrictions. Religion does nC1 consist in going to church. Had my say. I would prohibit church serv- ices for a limited number of years as an experiment. What is religion? | Is it going to church? It is not. It is doing well by your fellow men. am firmly convinced that you would
