I'll-I.... : ' . leanne thou me from , faults." i There are bo aecret sln. a that term Is wo rally UMlerstood Sins! that are commlUed In secret are not necessarily secret sins. They surh a-e not secret If we know we have I committed them, for nothing sec-J ret that Is known to us. When a s c ret Is disclosed It ceases to be a s-c ret be It a fault or any oth r facf ! We tin ami becauso the eye of the community are not upon u. -. as sume that we hare committed s-cret sin. They are not secret. th" m. i wllfull. Instead of prnymg. Lo-d,! cleanse thou me from secre' faults"1 we should pray. "Keep back thv s- r vant also from presumptuous sitis ' The psalmist offered both pr - r one for secret faults and the other for presumptuous tins. j Our Interpretation of secret faul's' Is dlferent f-o tnthat of the psalmi.-t i We thin of secret faults as those committed In our guest chambers such a sslns of thoughts, desires and passions. We believe them to bo secret because no otic knows of them but ourselves. The very knowledge that we have of them deprives them o this secrecy. They hav become presumptuous sins. What did the psalmist mean when, he jtrayed cleanse thou me from sec ret faults? The first phrase In the 12th verso of this psalm rends, "who can under stand his errors?" By the word er rors Is ttientir th. IrinscnicBlnnii it ' the Jewish law due to Ignorance or negligence. I These transgressions, committed unconsciously troubled th psalmist and he cries out. "Who can discern his error, either their number or enormity and the extent f their departure from the standard of duty?. This Is Immediately followed by his prayer. "Cleanse thou me from secret faults" or "cleanse me from hidden ones." Here the psalmist asks 'o be acquainted or to be freed from punishment for those errors which are so hidden from hhn that he can not discern them. He knows they are not hidden from Cod nnd he fears they may Imperil his relations to Cod. He knows of no other way of i deliverance from them exci-pt nhc divine gracious acquittal. Thus he offer his prayer, "Cleanse thou ni" from secret faults." In addition to this he prays. "Keep back thy stu-vunt also from presump- ttioua slit Properly rendered. 10ns. proud, clearly discerned and wilfully committed. Ill his medita tion over them he cries out to God, "Hold me back fcr I know the peril "f committing them. I know their, m-rlou consciiuenoe. The salmlt feels that when he I cleansed from the sins of Ignorance, freed from the sin of knowledge ami Intention, he shall then be uprtieht tail Iimocent. From these petitions of th ps-iltnist tve can draw many truths. The first Is that beneath the surface of every one are faults they do not suspect. One of the grenteat proofs of this Is the ease with which we dUcnrn the faults In others, faults that perhaps ne a unknown to them as ours are to us. We can dissect the character of our nearest frlemls and discover tvetikiiinses with which they are not ncciimliitfii!. We can discover weak ileuses In our strongest. We can jtolnt out faults In all with whom we come In contact. This seems to p.-.e that the same thing can be said 1 f us. 'lite fault Is not so much In the other "r"on 11 18 ,n ouraelf. We think it , doe not exist In us because we I don't see It. but it Is there neverthw I might Illustrate this thnuicht by tho speaker and his address. I am asked to watch every detail so ns to give a Just criticism. The criticism' Is to benefit both the sptuker and his critic. I follow n'i'.n keen i:--ii,-every word, remark and thought in doing so I seo many faults. nian of which the speaker Is not oonc 011s At the same time I am discovering the faults of the speaker I am not conscious of my own. It is this unco:. KiIousnesK of mv own faults which' helps me discern so i.'adll th. faults of the speaker. Hut what is tr.i- of the one being criticised Is also true of the critic. Faults beneath the sur face wo least suspect. This Is also true of the common sverydny fault finding. Persons In their fruitless efforts to belittle oth ers should stop t.) blnk thv what they see le nth?rs and what th.-v say about others, can he seen in, and 1 said concerning themselves.

You may lj able to recall some in cident of f this klod. It may bo one who has been prominent in your com munity; one who has boen very ac tive In the state, or occupied a jiosl tlon of trust In the nation. It may be one who has stood for the highest moral vml religious Ideals. For such a one to misplace the confidence of the, people or to lower the standard of Ideals seemed almost impossible. Yet It has happened. Why? Hecause of the temptations which appeared when' and where they least expected them. What does this mean-? It signifies' that temptations have no effect upon tis when we are strong, but work great Injury when we are weak. Where we think we arc strongest does not necessarily make It so. What we think to be our strongest place Is often our weakest, and what wc often think to be our weakest, proves to he our strongest. One must nlwas he on his guard, for It is the attacks uon the unsuspected places of our lives which prove most fatal. View tho life of the Apostle Peter. Little did he think when he said: "Lord. I will lay down my life for thy fcske." that lie would afterwards dmy him with hitler oaths. It hap pened. Peter repented for It after ward. Hut where Peter thought he whs strong he proved he was weak. I n-call an Incident which will Illus trate clearly this thought. In my first parish there wa a young man who wa very active not only In church elicit, but also In tho town. Ills uprightness made It possible for him to secure a position of trust. He had not been In this position v-ry long before he had been accused ot misappropriating funds. It was thought by his friends to lie absurd, but evidence proved him guilty. Some of the church members were grieved over him misfortitue, while others criticised. Men not Interested in spiritual things looked with scorn UHin his condition. They forgot that 11 weak spirit In that young man had been assailed when he least expected It. and he yielded. They forgot that beneath the surface of everyone are faults which only need the favorable opportunity to 1 uveal their presence. I think Christ recognized this when he said to those who brought to him the woman taken In sin. "He that Jst without sin among you, let him first ca.t a stotie at Iter." j Agnln. we know that beneath the( suifsoe of every man there are faults they do not suspect, because men do not know themselves. 1 The expression of the phllosophor. "Know thyself." might seem probable! but not iiosslble. Some of tho strong' and most useful characters of human history have been shattered by as- saults of sin, ovon after many years. There were weaknesses In them which had never been exposed until the eilsls, and they sinned It was very evident Hie nos'le Peter was not o Sn;; f ir Hia which .Rising Breast .. , , ... , , . w,....o, kmijiiiK mem through the critical ordeal with safety.

This Is dearly manifested In his afier Christian- life. It was a dear, but profitable lesson for Peter. This is true of all. Wo are liable to bo overtaken at any time in a fault. Paul realized this whon be said, "Brethren, If any man be over taken In- a fault, ye who are spiritual restore such an one in the spirit of meekness, considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted." Since we have these faults, are thete any ways to guard against the temptations? There are. In the first place-, we should give tho Inner life proper attention. How can this be done? Ily spending about one-tenth of th,. time on ourselves that we spend In looking for tho faults of others. When you look for faults you can always find them, and whi-n you look for good qualities you can find them also. It Is said of an ancient king, he sent two of his subjects on a quest through his kingdom. To tho one he said: "Find me ;i Mieclinen of everv wild flower In my kingdom." To the other he said: "do find me one of 1.' every kind of weed In my kingdom The king waited for the results the search. Presently the men of re- turned, one with an armful of noxious weeds, the- other with ueautlfuf flowers. Of the man with the weeds the king askeel: "Did you not see any flowers in all my kingdom?" ' So: said the man, without heltatlng. "there were no flowers where I went searching. There were nothing but weeds." "Did ' you tee no weeds." asked the king of the man who sought flowers? "No.' replied the man. "thro wer- nothing but flowers where I went." One man hunted for weeds, while the GJher ieiit his time for flowers. Kach found that for which ho looked. To guard against temptations we must bo careful of our environments. When Lot cast his tout he never in tended to enter a wicked city much less make friends of sodomite. lie fore he realized It all his Interests wore Involved with theirs. It Is a very e-nsy matter to bo Influ enced by our surroundings. It Is al ways to our advantage lo bo sur tounded by the best.
