Hymns were suns. acknowledging sin. the 61st Pslsm. which Is the classic outpouring of the sinful soul, was read. and the historic. general confession was repeated. The pastor. Rev, Paul M. Strayor, spoke on the counsel of James, the brother of Jesus. "Confess therefore your sins one to another." He said that the tint Christian followed this counsel but lot- or the public confession vs no to the private confessional. ‘ van In” £1.0- instant churches. a mlnisterwho has the love and confidence of his people hears private confessions In his home or the homes of his people, and it is a blessed relief to have. someone who can assure the burdened heart that God forgives all who repent. The pri- when it is professional and. as in man/r cases, accompanied by the payment of money. , But the public confession“of line has still its value. For no sin is so diilIcult to overcome as secret sin. When no one knows but God. the sinner feels that God will overlook the sin and he sometimes succeeds in stilling the con- demnations of conscience. But public confession calls attention to sin and whenever the temptation to, commit this sin comes, there comes with it the thought that the weakness is known and there Is greater effort to overcome it. Public confession makes sin "ex- ceeding sinful." Tbe‘paator then re- quested those present, not that they look back over their lives and coil up past failures. but that they look into their lives and inside attention on the besettlnx sin and constant temptation. He asked thattboy do not confess the do of yesterday. but the sin they may commit tomorrow. for thus they might have strength‘uot to commit it. Thqmmeetins was generally partici- pated . This evening at 7:46 prompt. ly the preparatory service to the com- munion will be held. The preparatory lecture by the pastor will be held on “Preparing for God." Members of the church were requested to think of the special Lenten services. and pray for them each day between 12 and 12:15. outshines * . BASIS 0N AGAIN Norwaik Woman.
