characteristic nature f»om the eye. Its •ee essence i* concealment and deceit One method by which men are deceived and led into sin is by the use of begniMug and spedous names, whereby the judgment is perverted and human wpeech is turned into ah instrument of delusion. Things which are vile, contemptible and degrading are called by wild and misleading teems, whereby their wickedness is hidden and their perilous character is concealed. This habit was in vogue many hundreds of -years ago, and a Hebrew prophet's ■words, ottered then, need to be kept 10 mind now—“Woe onto them who caU

Again, sin is deceitful in another respect—it bides from the trmwsgmisor’s eyes In advance the shame and pm a which follow nctuoftrasagra—on, wbfie the pleasures aad gains are magnified. Sin always baa two dlatanet phases: one shows itself in the prospect and Che other in the retrospect. A sinful act in' contemplation and the same art looked back upon are two radically diflerent tilings. In the oae case • jwriou* alfare- ‘ ■menu,** seductive promise* of ae—sial delight, or of pecawiary gala, or putiti•cal honor; la the other ca—abame, welf-

Surely men’s judgments are bedeviled when under each a spell of delusion as is often involved In certain forms o! temptation they say to themselves: “I will travel this path of allurement a little way; 1 know when to stop; I will not venture beyond that point yonder, and then I will retrace my steps.’' In mew of such temptations bow urgent the words of the text: “Take heed lest any one of yon be hardened by the deteitfulneas of sin.’
