"Mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; therefore my heart faileth me. Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me: O Lord, make haste to help me." -- 40:12- 13."Sin shall not have dominion over you." -- 6:14.O Thou, to whose all-searching sight The darkness shineth as the light!Search, prove my heart; it pants for Thee; Oh, burst these bonds, and set it free!G. TERSTEEGEN.Yes, this sin which has sent me weary-hearted to bed and desperate in heart to morning work, that has made my plans miscarry until I am a coward, that cuts me off from prayer, that robs the sky of blueness and the earth of springtime, and the air of freshness, and human faces of friendliness,-- this blasting sin which perhaps has made my bed in hell for me so long,-- this can be conquered. I do not say annihilated, but, better than that, conquered, captured and transfigured into a friend: so that I at last shall say, "My temptation has become my strength! for to the very fight with it I owe my force."W. C. GANNETT.
