THE Scripture tells us, that "if we confess our sins to our heavenly Father, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Nothing tends more to inspire us with an horror against sin, and with a spirit of humility, than an habitual examination of ourselves, and a sorrow for our sinful errors before God; but

we must make no intentional reserves in doing this: the heart is at all times known to God; we cannot possibly conceal any thing from his knowledge, and the intention of doing so is, therefore, as useless as it is sinful.ater into the presence Lay aside all your self
