The child's book of Bible stories : with practical illustrations and remarks on the fall . chers have prohibited, or whichGod himself has prohibited you from having ordoing ? Ah ! while you wonder at poor, sinful Adam andEve, wonder at your own folly and wickedness ! See,how exactly you are like them. Feel sorry for hav-ing committed the same kind of sin which they not feel proud and boastful, and say that if youhad been in Eden, and been tempted by Satan asthey were, you would not have acted as they did. You have acted as they did. You are guilty as theywere. You are exposed to that awful punishmentwith which God threatened them, if they should dis-obey him. You are exposed to it, and must endureit all, both in this and the future world, unless yougo to God,—sorry, humble, broken-hearted on ac-count of your sins,—beseeching him, because Christdied for sinners, to forgive you,—trusting in this Sa-vior,—and praying that God would lead you, by hisHoly Spirit, to be like Christ. You have been like Adam ; will you not wish, andstrive, and pray to be like Christ ?. THE REMORSE. Suppose a boy were alone in a room in the housein which he lived, and knew that in a trunk near thewindow there was some money belonging to his fa-ther. The wicked thought comes into his mind, thata key which he has in his pocket will unlock thetrunk, and that he can take a dollar from it, withoutany ones knowing it. He thinks of all the prettythings that he can buy for a dollar, and how happythey will make him. He yields to the takes the, dollar, locks up the trunk, and goesdown stairs and tries to look as if nothing had hap-pened. / He is kept at home all the day and cannot spendthe dollar. When evening comes he goes to bed, asusual, in good season, and lest some one should findthe dollar in his pocket, he hides it in a closet, wherehe thinks it will be safe till the morning. 62 THE REMORSE. Do you think he would pray to God that evening,before lying down to sleep ?
