That there are impediments to a

progress no careful observer can deny. 1
The first obstacle and one that is]
mighty and malignant is the common
adversary of Cod and man. Some

such denial does not. disprove his exis

so much badness in the world Ihat to
call in question the existence of Satan
is to place humanity so low in the
scale of moral capability and spiritual
sentiment ns to almost destroy our
respect for the luce and our hope of its
redemption.

ro Strongly to men’s lo've of tlie world,
the lusts of the flesh and the pride of
life, as well as to their disposition to
postpone repcntunce to a lime they
imagine to be more convenient tnan the
present is a formidable obstacle to a
rev ivul of . ighteousness and true holi
ness. Beware of that doctrine that
quiets the conscience in a doubtful
course, that comes In between Urn Soul
and Jesus Christ, that disc ts the
■ at notifying poy, -.r: of the Holy Gcoet,
that discourages activity and progress
in the religious life and destroys Chris-'
tian fellowship. These tilings are Hi- i
tokens of spiritual dissolution. i
The inoonsistencies of Church Mem- j
tiers is a tremendous obstacle to a 1
revival of vital Cod 11 ness. Christians ;
are expected to love anti aid each other j
but hsw often do they treat each other
unkindly,—speak against one another !
Wo critscise each other uncharitably,
and by <*ir examp le we hurt the very
cause we are set to defend. How much
better if the outside world could say,
“Behold how these Christians love I”

In conclusion,—Wc should never

sins, no priest can forgive, tlie Pope
himself cannot, forgive. No man can
cleanse iiis own heart, no forms, no
