Before the Throne.
by JOHN ID. BARRY.


There was man held great place in tn
community.
He was an exemplary husband and father correc
in his business affairs and in his private life.
Inwardly, however, he chafed at the monotony Of
his days.
Before him like procession, passed the tempta
tions of the world.
To many he longed to yield. But he did not dare
He though. of those that yielded and detected
and punished.
He dreaded being punished, being classed BY the
world among them, the dishonored, the disgraced
Each day of his life he knew the fear of shame
1t was continual threat, menace.
He thought of the temptations, however, fondly
passionately. In them his imagination reveled.
Meanwhile he gave outward sign. Painfully
unfalteringy, with secret resentment, he walked in
the path of righteousness
When he died people praised his character.
In the same community there was man whose
life was a scandal.
People spoke of him with contempt. He himself
knew that his deeds were reproach.
He often suffered remorse. Always he longed to
do better, to lead good life
But every time he tried he failed Yet he would
keep trying.
Sometimes it seemed to him as if demon within
were driving him to his doom.
That other man, the good man, he thought of with
envy. He longed to be like the good man.
There were moments when the example OF the
good man a torment to him
There were moments when he despised himself so
utterly that he longed to die
And yet he felt that he was unfit to die When,
at last the end came people said it was good thing
AT the same moment the two men reached the
throne of God God looked at them nqurinsly, his
eyes shining with pity.
He turned to the good man. what have you 20

The good man prostrated himself. Let my deeds
speak for me. Lord"
On the face of God there was patient smile
Deeds are things of the world" he said. Here we
care only for the things OF the spirit Show me your

Very gently God spoke again. Show me your

The man barred his heart, and from it poured all
the passions he had INDUCED there all the sins he had
onged to- commit and had kept imprisoned At sight
Of them he shrank away in horror of himself unable
to endure the light that beat upon him from the
