Why, when I was a young man that would have shocked people out of their boots. But it's broad-minded, it's broad-minded," with a wave of the hand. "I like to see a man with ideas, and if lawn-tennis will help to keep our boys out of sin's pathway, why, then, lawn-tennis is a strong, worthy means of doing the Lord's work." "Yes," said Clara. "Did Mr. Copple say he would call for me?
It was Long Sin's mission to carry out this scheme, so he packed the money into a bag, drew his coat more closely about him and left the room. No sooner had he gone than the secretary hurried into the room, paused a moment to make sure that Long Sin was not coming back, then hurried over to a closet near-by. From a secret hiding-place he drew out a small bow and arrow.
"Burn it!" cried the woman, "burn the one-eyed horror!" But when, carrying a lighted lantern, Sin Sin Wa presently came into the inner room, he smiled as imperturbably as ever, and was unmoved so far as external evidence showed. Sin Sin Wa set the lantern upon a Moorish coffee-table which once had stood beside the divan in Mrs. Sin's sanctum at the House of a Hundred Raptures.
There was an oil-stove in the room, which, like that adjoining it, was evidently unprovided with any proper means of ventilation. A paper-shaded lamp hung from the low roof. The floor was covered with matting, and there were arm-chairs, a divan and other items of furniture, which had been removed from Mrs. Sin's sanctum in the dismantled House of a Hundred Raptures.

A man, young, strong, and good to look upon, had come and kissed her with passionate tenderness.
We are not to trust our own consciences, except as enlightened by God's Word. We are not to listen to sin's lies, but to fix it well in our minds that there is only one way which leads to life and peace, the narrow way of faith and obedience. The Revised Version's rendering of verse 26 gives the right idea. So hunger is a blessing. That is true in regard to the body.
The finals in the men's singles were between Mr. Copple and Elbert Dunklethorn, who was called "Ellie." He wore a very high collar, and as his shoes had heels, he ran about the court on his toes. Clara, watching him, recalled her father's words at dinner. "How will this save that boy from sin's pathway?" she thought. She regarded the clergyman; she recognized his zeal.
Jesus is the face of God, close up, looking tenderly, yearningly, into man's face, that his eye may be caught and held, and his heart be enchained. <u>Sin's Brood.</u> The second great result of that Eden break has been in the growth of sin.
Your day is done the last brief moments of your sin's enjoyment have come make the most of them! no one shall interfere! Drink the last drop of sweet wine MY hand shall not dash the cup from your lips on this, the final night of your amour!
