1t well with the man that will take
Gods name in vain and trample Gods
laws beneath his feet? Is it well with
the man that will hang evil thoughts
upon the walls of his mind and ap-
proach in his longings the secrets of
others? Is it well with the one that
is careless of his or her companions?
Is it well with one that has no respect
for Gods holy day and uses it for his
or her own convenience. No! Ten
thousand times ten thousand times,
no.

eternity with the sin on your life that

Years ago in Philadelphia a bow
was working for his father, and one
| night he tapped the till and stole SS5,
and he fled. The father hired detec-
tives and they sent photographs of
the boy to the Chiefs of Police all
around, and the mothers heart was
breaking, and they looked every
where.
! And finally one day my old friend
| Sam Hadley, who used to be superin-
/ tendent of the old Water Street Mis-
sion in New York, sat teetered back
| in a chair in front of his place and a
| boy came down the street and stopped.
He said:

He said: "Yes'
He said: Will you kindly get me
a needle?'
! Mr.. Hadley said: What for?'
| He said: I want to mend my
/ trousers
He looked at the boys trousers
and saw they were in rags and he
said:
! You haven't got trousers enough
on to bother about mending. You go
upstairs and I'll get another pair.
! Tells of
| Money Theft.
! When they got upstairs he told
him how he had stolen the money
and he had fled from home. Mr..
/ Hadley sent telegram to Philadel-
1 phia to the same address the boy gave
him and back came the answer:
/ Mr.. H. M. Hadley, 316 South
! Water street, New York City. Tell the
dear boy to come home Put him on
a train and let us know when he is
coming and we will meet him at the
! Broad-street Station

forget the past and remember that
i have full pardon for them, free
and eternal.
i 1t never enters into consideration
what you have been and what YOU
have done, if You are only ready and
willing to forsake your stains, God
stands ready and willing to forgive
them, no matter what you have done
that is not the question with the
Lord. And then because of the life
and death resurrection of Jesus
Christ it is made possible to do His
will and keep His commandments
