Show Small Teiuptatlons. Satan seldom comes to a Christian wkh great temptations, or with a temptation temp-tation to commit a gre&t sin. You bring & green log and a candle together to-gether and they are very safe neigh-bore; neigh-bore; but bring a few shaving an3 set them alight, and then bring a few small sticks and let them take firs, and the log be In the midst of them, and you will get rid of your log. And so It is -wiili the little sins. You will be etartled with the idea of committing commit-ting a great sin, and so the devil brings you a i!ttle temptation, and leaves you to indulge yourself. There la no great harm in this, no great peril in that, and so by these little chips we are Crst lighted up, and at last the green log is burned. "Watch and pray, that ye enter not Into temptation." John Newton. i |
