Over jthis fathomless chasm are stretched :many bridges, each the breadth oi' is _hair in thickness. Over these infini- tesimal bridges the immortal soulll i must pass from earth to heaven while glowing, hissing, bursting flames leaping up from the bottomless pit ibeneatj; scorch their feet and try to fdrng them down. So some people of ‘Christian America foolishlv think they can reach heaven, though thev .are deliberately and intentionally walking, as the llfohammednns iran- gine tliemselves doing, over the hot tires of evil. They believe God will pardon those sins which we intend to commit in the future as well as ithusc sins which are already recorded iagalnst us upon the black pages of the past. Abraham l.inroln's war cry against sla\'er_v was this: "A house divided lagninst itself cannot stand. This lcountrv must become all slave or all free." ln the same wav. man cannot ,have two masters, "l";`.ith<-r he will *hate the one and love the other, or ielse lm will hold to the one and do l splse thc other," Yet there have been thousands upon thousands of immor- ltals who have been eternally den- itroved bocailsf- thr-_v thought they _could serve (lod and Satan at the , same time. l Pardon for the past sins. No per- don is promised for the future sins _ which we dl-lihrsraiclv intend to com- ; mit. Mr. Moody, I think it was, gave lthis as his testilllony: For many l xvfwiks and months he had horn luhol‘~ ing with at lulsiness friend tn give his heart tn (hill 'l`his man nt last saidi "l\lood,\', I will do as you ask, hui upon one rnnllition.

Pardon for sins of 1903. Yes. But Cod offers no assurance of pardon for those sins which we deliberately fmenn to commit. in 1904. i Standing between the open grave , of the dying your and the cradle of , the year about to be born, we should all repent of our sins. Why, again? Because the far reaching, word "repentance" embraces another l far reaching \vord, "restitution" 1 Therefore, if we are going to try t° lundo the many wrongs of the past, ` we must be about our Father'a busi- ness very quickly. God forgives those who truly repent, hut the work of restitution or of atonement to our brother man who has suffered in body or soul by out wrongdoing be- longs to ua, and we know not how soon the opportunity of doing that work may pass away. Sometimes it is not possible len ue tg und; the wrongs‘of t.h.e past. Hr. Beeches' in one ei his sermons related -an incident illustrative of this im- Iposslbility. Whlla he was livin( in ‘Indianapolis a young mi- was en- , ticqd into a gambling den and there drugged and cheated out of all his moncy,_ some $1,500.

Dewh- ¢', "all his repentance could not rn- i sum ala vlcumu lm and could aes unde the wrongs of the pest." In our lives there are thousands of wrongs we have done to others which we can never undo. Perhaps by some sinful invitation which we gave or. by some evil example which we have paraded in our past life ws have been the means of starting, some man, some young woman, on a, life of crime and have started them on a journey which ended ia a drunka.rd's \ or e luic1de’s gre"- But though we may be uleble to ,.\h1a vbsr of evil habit which wal h 4 “" u” 'mm' l. °""` mmm' u l nuzlrlllbzlls 'r::‘¢:.sl'.meT¢? rertlltutigh 0 ""°°"° 9°” l""“b" R°"°““‘°°° °' ` ter new of our pest mladoeds, and 'gpggaieusbaetobomervlri - ar, for put faults.
