Stevenson, Kershaw, S. <5. ! - ?*' I verily, thought with myself, ' ttiat I ought to do maivy things contrary to, the name of Jesus of iNazareth. Acts 26:9. | The. conscience is popularly thought j of as the voice of. God. "I>et your conscience be yaur guide", is almost proverbial. The thought is, It safe, to follow your conscience. | St. Paul once thought *that, too, but he changed his mind. (Ills con-v science had urged him to persecute Jesus, and lie had done it with bitter fanaticism, but the* day came When he found his conscience had been, a lying guide. It was no: right to per. ' secute Jesus. If you understand what' the con science is you will see why it i&y&>t always trustworthy. It is not the voice of God. There is nothing su pernatural about its speaking.*. Itt is no more than personal^judgment exercising itself in a certain field, than reason employed, about quest ions of right and wrong. If judgment errs in matters of money, why should it b<> thought in. fallible in matters of morals? If reason is defective when employed about errthly, material things, what guarantees its accuracy about heav enly, spiritual things TheVe ard few \\*ho do not admit bad business judgment, at some time or other, who do not doubt, occasionally, 4Jieir ability to re -'son straight and true. Any such admission, every such doubt is equally valid against an infallible conscience. As business judgment may be cor rected, matured, rendered, more dependable by proper training and exercise, so may the moral judgment, the conscience. God is supremely willing to give it enlightment and make it responsive to truth. Jesus 'says, Behold, I staiul at the door and knock. A part of his mission is to enlighten, to make tender, to regen erate the faculties of man, including the faculty ... ? : .. If "you vould have a trustworthy conscience, feed it upon God's Word. Nurture it with pnayer. Open it to the Holy Spirit. Rebuke it when Di vine Truth proves it wrong. Com pel it to live in an atmosphere of love. Conform it to the mind of Christ. The pastor, Rev. .J. P>. Gaston is^ ofY on vacation' during the month of [August, but splendid supplies have i been secured to fill the pulpit. On next Sunday, August 2nd, at 11:15, Rev.
