Joy of Pardon.

In the sense of sins forgiven there
5 great Joy. Through an acceptance of
Gods plan of reconciliation and par
don the heart is made glad in the
knowledge that henceforth there is
10 condemnation either from the con-
science or from the Judge of all the
earth.
There are those who in a certain
sense are conscious of their sins, yet
do not embrace Christianity.
They have the joy of hoping that
God has blotted out their sins: but
Is not that JOY, arising from vague
trust and hope. like that of a prisoner
who dreams of pardon. but awakens
to fnd the prison walls around him F.?
But the Joy of the Christian believer.
who has a sure trust in Gods promises
is like that of a prisoner who has
actually received pardon from the
hands of his sovereign. The true be-
liever who has turned from darkness
TO. light. and from the power OF Satan
unto God, actually receives pardon OF
sins. and goes on his way rejoicing.

Sinful Mirth.

A Joyous life is not found in sinful
mirth. The joke. the gist. the laugh at
the social board, as the wine goes
round, are often a veil to conceal sor-
row In the heart
Underneath are sad memories of the
past and gloomy forebodings of the fu-
ture. The most wretched frequently
show the greatest merriment-
Much that is gay, jovial and sparkling
In the circles of wickedness is but a
cloak to hide a sorrowful heart. Solo
mon tells us that even in laughter the
heart is sorrowful, and the end Of that
pirth is heaviness."
He is referring to the mirth of the
sinful and wicked.
Laughter in itself Is not sinful or
wrong. There is innocent mirth and
virtuous mirth, such as comes from a
cheerful and sunny natural tempera-
ment and from a pure and holy heart
