Pardon and Cure. July 29
After the forgiveness of sin must come the cure of sin. And that cure, like most cures, is a long and a painful process.
But there is our comfort, there is our hope—Christ the great Healer, the great Physician, can deliver us, and will deliver us, from the remains of our old sins, the consequences of our own follies. Not, indeed, at once, or by miracle, but by slow education in new and nobler motives, in purer and more unselfish habits.
