Baptist church yesterday. There was
a splendid congregation at the evening
service and one reclamation and one
addition to the church. The theme
was, "The Certainty Of Sin Coming
to Light" and the text was, BE sure
your sin will find you out" The pas

not admit it because they think since
their sins have not yet found them
out, they will never do so Be not
deceived into believing that you can
escape the just consequences OF
wrong doing. Again, some men think
that since they have forgotten their
sins. God has also. 1t is wisely ar

Others think that perhaps God is
not interested in human affairs; but
we are told that the very hairs OF our
heads are numbered; that sparrow
does not fall to the ground which God
does not see. Then, too, some people
think God is too merciful to con-

Assurances of Punishment.
What assurances have we that sin
viii come to light? First, men might
know that their sins will find them
out because of the judgment overtak-
Ing them in this life. You remember
In old times Haman had induced the
king to sign a decree that on tomor-
row Mordecai should be put to death:
but it SO chanced that the scales OF
fortune turned, and Haman himself
was hanged on the scaffold which he
erected for the hanging OF Haman.
Jacob schemed and planned so that
he secured large part of the flock
of his father-in-law He cheated his
brother Esau out of the birthright.
But the time came when he mourned

and later Benjamin. His children were
guilty of wrong doing. He reaped the
just rewards of his sowing.
IF men should escape detection in
this life, their sins will find them out
in death. A young girl who had been
a member of the church was dying.
She called her father to her bedside
and said, Father, you have supposed
that was pious girl; but must tell
you now in view of death that have
never been saved She died declar-
ing that hell was her portion.
Then, too, men might be sure that
their sins would find them out; be.

men claimed to have been elected gov
