Tlio expression, "The blood of Jchus
Cirl)l cteaiucth us from nil hIii," refers
not merely to the sins that nre past
and the cleansing which uas ourrf at
the moment we llrst accepted the
Lord's favor, but rather, especially, It
refers to the cleansing which Ih con
tinually uecesiiry to the maintenance
of our relatloiiHhlp with the. Lord. Tho
forgiveness, the demising, is freely,
promptly given, but conditionally, it
must be applied for. This Is the Lord'a
method of Instructing us in tho way
of righteousness mid of assisting us to
overcome the oiiiMisltlons and tcinnta
Hons of the world and to become nt
heart "over. omers." He knows our
weaknesses better than we do; nnd ho
wishes us to learn or them, tiot with
a view to dlncotmiKlug us, but that wo
may light n gtsd tight against them,
compter them mid, lu mi doing, develop
the characteristics which ho approves
and has protnNcd to reward with Joint'
heirship with the Itedeemer lu tils
KliiKdoiu.
Hence, Instead or openly rebuklug
his people, the Lord leaves as ours tho
work or searching ror secret raulta nnd
putting them away. In proportion as

must more nnd more desire full per

nesses of tho Hash, and nniHt strive for
this condition. Other secret faults
may be secret from us but well-known
to the Lord nnd posidldy quite plainly
manifest to our brethren nnd neigh
Ixirs. How eiirinwily nil who are truly
the Lord's people should eek to fee
themselves n others see them, nnd to
correct those faults which hitherto
hnvo been nccrct to themselves.
Assuredly the Lord'fl nHslstnnce In
necessary lu this work; but, in praying
to lilm. In tho Inngungo of our text, we
should remember Hint his method of
answering our petitions Is to show us
the facts of our ense, and then to en
courage us by his promises to light a
good fiht ngalnst the weaknesses thus
brought to our attention. The Itlblo Is
the Lord's lamp. The Spirit of Its won
derful teachings, like n two-edged
sword, Is shnrp ami penetrating. It
can discern or discriminate lietween
the very thoughts nnd Intents of tho
heart which deceive so many Into
thinking a wrong cournc Justifiable.
The Christian who makes continual
and good list of this "sword" will soon
Ilml that with its assistance ho Is able
to analyze hit men mutltc lying lclilnd
his words and his acts; will sometimes
find himself secreting them, and some
times masquerading them ns graces
and virtues.
The dlttlculty with the mnjorlty of
Christian people neems to bo that they
have never undertaken a close scrutiny
of the witlrvH lying behind their words
or their deeds yea. the motive or In
tentlo'i lying hidden lu their own
minds. The reason for this laxity, tho
reason for their failure to follow up
with the M'lirelillglit nnd to "bring
every thought Into captivity to the will
of Coil lu Christ" Is that they have not
yet attained to a sulilclcncy of love for
righteousness mid a sulllclency of u
hatred for Iniquity. The reason for
this condition of things may bo that
they nre "babes in Christ" who have
in the past fetl merely upon the milk
of tho Word and not upon the strong
ment and nre, therefore, weak In the
faith and weak every way along the
lines of Christian character develop
ment. What they need Is more love
for the Lord and a greater apprecia
tion of his Word, which will lead to
more earnest study of the same.

cnlhsl Lucifer, the .Morning .Star, was
perfect; but the tin of prctumptlon
crept Into his heart nnd blighted every
thing. Ho Hatnn strove to tempt our (
Lord, who was perfect, to commit n
presumptuous sin, through which ho
would have made shipwreck of his ca
reer. Ho wished him to presume upon
Cod's goodness and abundant care, not
by starting a rival empire, ns Satan
himself had attempted to do, but t
presume, nevertheless, upon Divine
goodness to the extent of Jeopardizing
his life by leaping from the pinnacle
of the Temple and trusting that God
would suspend the laws of naturo and
work a miracle for his protection,
when no such miracle was necessary,
because no such hazard bad been de
manded. Applying this matter of presumptu
ous sin to the Church of our day; wo
And some who appear to be tho Lord's
people presuming upon his goodness
and mercy and love by Jumping from
financial and other pinnacles nnd
trusting for miraculous protection
from disaster. This, to our under
standing, is presumptuous sin. Some
times we see presumptuous conduct
amongst elders and others in the Body
of Christ, much after the manner of
Moses' transgression, when presump
tuously he smote the rock, while God
had merely bidden him to speak to
the rock. For pastors and elders of
the Church to assume and to exercise
an unscrlptural lordship over tho
Church would appear to us to be a
presumptuous sin a presuming to tako
place and authority not bestowed by 1
tho Lord. On the contrary, sometimes 1
a congregation of the Lord's people ,
mny be presumptuous In neglecting
tho Scriptural direction to take heed to
those who have the rule over them
and watch for their souls, ns those
who must give an account. In how
many ways might wc be presumptuous

over the Church, and his message to
