Sermon to the People
BY THE REV. c. c. BRUCE.


within himself of Right. about face And the result of that obedience was his conversion. We do not need here to discuss the new birth, which Nicodemus did not unde-- stand. and which is Gods part. We aTp discussing conversion, which Is doing the opposite thing-going in the opposhe direction-living a new life-the old life passing away, and all things" becoming new. The man who was healed of his palsy by the Lord was told to arise. take up thy bed and walk Among the interesting things in this command was to get the old bed out of his sight so he would not have desire to go and place himself thereon again. Conversion means new sur roundings, it may be. but a new life it must be.

 You will please God by being bap- tized and taking a place with the people of God. YCu will plan to flooding you. life. When a man wants to please his fellow-man he does the things that would be pleas ing to the one he desires to please. Confession is not a man-made scheme for the working out of the saliva tion of any man. It is God given, and the man who has epped into the new relations and desires to bring pleasure to God will fulfil the conditions.
 Suppose your physician gave you a prescription containing four in gradients and you did not like one of them And therefore left it out. What confidence would you have in
 hat physician If you know more than he does. why do you call him The prescription that God gives man is conviction, contrition. conversion and confession. You will never ex- perience the real joy of salvation until you have taken the medicine prescribed by the Great Physician
 Now here is the result with the Philippian taller, he reJoiced, De- lieving in God with all his house. y He had proved that 'in His pres ence Is fitness of joy. and at His right hand there are pleasures for a,ermoTc" As you are contem plating the resolutions for the con- ing year fail not to think of Him who can forgive your sin, and place you in condi ion whereby you will have strength to overcome. He that endureth unto the end. the same shall be saved" Jesus Christ will count it joy to take up His abode in your heart. You may claim Him as your own, but are you His It is Great thing to claim Him as your Savior, but it ia a far greater thing for Him to be able to say Thou art mine"

Many a man comes in contrition for the same reason the little girl who was rescued from barking dog that had frigh, ened her. Her mother exclaimed. "Why, Mary, why arc you afraid, the dog has stopped barking" The child only sobbed out her answer, "Oh, but mamma, the bark is still in him." The sins of men haunt them, and they fear the just penalty of their sins. The bark is still in them and they need to have that bark removed. This comes from above and can be re- ceived only by faith. The story of the two creditors in the Bible is given te show the impossibility Of man paying the debt of his sins. God can forgive that debt, but man can never pay that debt.
