He was thc: man who recognized the authority of the law; who took a pride and satisfaction in his moral, rectitude and his clean cite ieenship; who held his head high and was ready to preach moral starolards 111110 others, The lesalmiat speaks of his going •so far as to declare God's statutes and to take Clod's covenant in his mouth. That is he 1005 1101: irreligious. Ho recognized tlod and Els law. And yet he is charged with hating instruction and with casting God's words behind him. This I take 11. menus that he was heady and high-minded, that he letcl a vale self-eeteem which made hita unteachable. And the charge or eanting Cod's words behind him would imply that he gave them a. einiordinate piece in his life and test his own judgements and thoughts totore those of GOCI. More than likely, intellectualism and higher criticism Were barriers that prevent- ed Clod's words having dee weight end INFLUENCE IN ms Earn. And. now we enter upon another plume of the character of the I'or- gel ter of God.

And not only is the Forgetter of God a cone- promisrer with evil, but he Is a par- talcor with adulterers. Ile is o man of the world who, though perhaps not himself it 11101101 leper, fellow- ships with those of positive immoral habits.

And then he gives his mouth to evil. Ah, how enclonn and vile is much of the convel•eation of the smoking room or the vadat circle.

The plain truth is, that if you wish to produce a favorable first impression, 3r012 must impress people favorably all the time. The old statement' that "in•actice makes perfect" holds good in this as in everything else. If you only put on your best appearance on in- frequent occasions, you will be stilt and awkward at the game, and you will lose 137 tt. He who is constant- ly doing his utmost to gain tem gol- den opinions of others will iind it comparatively easy to utake a good impression on the person whom he meets for the first time; that is self- evident, for he will be acting natur- ally and in his usual everyday man- ner, whereas he who strives only for One has suffered in place of guilty the first impression at odd times and lost man. God pleads with you to thankfully accept Him as a Saviour. God can lie glorified and honored in no greater way than for you to accept His gift to the world. Think you that the sacrifice of thanksgiving means some great thing you can do for Cod; some ser- vice you can porton-a for Mtn, somo goodness you cart manifest in your life? The only sacrifice you can make diet will be acceptable to God is the sacrifice of yoer will that will give Christ the poseession of your heart.

In dealing with God, (and the soul must deal with Him.), it is either a case of hulgment or blessing. Bless- ing Ho wants to give; judgment He must give if you reject the offer of mercy. Ho holds before the Forget - 01 Cod the picture of the man W110- was yielded himself to Him "Whoso offereth the sacrifice of thanicsgiving glorifieth Me; and to him that ordereth his way aright will I show the salvation of Cod."
