some wicked people from many evil things they would wish to do8 ,they are afraid of being punished4 ,what keeps good children1 the children of ,god1 from doing what they know is sinful8 ,they are afraid of sin4 ,there is a great difference1 my dear children1 between these two kinds of fear--the fear of punishment1 and the fear of sin4 ,the first will only keep a child from some sins1 at some times2 and if he often escapes being found out1 he will lose it almost altogether4 ,but the fear of sin itself1 because ,god forbids it1 will keep a child from any sin1 and will be felt more powerfully as he grows up in grace4 ,i will tell you a little story on this subject1 which happened a good many years ago1 and may help you to understand what ,i mean4 ,robert ,wright was the son of a rich gentleman4 ,he was a clever boy1 quick at his lessons1 had been well taught1 and knew well what was right and wrong2 but he had not learned to love and fear ,god4 ,one morning1 his mother said1 8,robert1 to-morrow will be the first ,sunday of the month4 ,here is a shilling for you to put into the missionary box40 ,robert put it into his pocket1 and often looked at it through the day and felt if it were safe4 ,on his way home to dinner1 he passed a ,illustration shop where a variety of tarts and cakes were in the window4 ,he stopped to look1 and then thought how he would like to have some4 ,he felt if he had a penny to buy one tart4 ,no2 but there was the shilling1 and the thought came into his mind1 how much that would buy6 8,but would it be right to use it8 ,no2 and if papa found it out1 ,i should be severely punished80 ,he was just going to turn away1 when he thought again1 8,why be afraid of being punished8 ,how can papa and mamma ever know80 ,he stayed and looked a little longer1 then ran into the shop1 filled his pockets with good things1 gave the shilling1 and went away4 ,i cannot say that he had much pleasure in eating them1 after all2 for his conscience told him that he had done a great sin2 and next day1 when he saw the missionary-box1 he felt unhappy4 ,the same evening1 when it was dark and cold1 another little boy left his home4 ,it was no nice cheerful home1 like ,robert's1 with warm fires1 and bright lights4 ,it was one small room1 and in the grate only a few cinders4 ,on a bed of straw in a corner his mother lay very ill4 ,as he went out1 he said1 8,mother1 try to sleep2 ,i will not be late coming back40 ,he worked in a factory not far off1 and it being ,saturday night1 he knew he would not be kept late4 ,as he was coming home1 weary and cold1 thinking of his poor mother1 and how he would like to take something that would do her good1 his eye rested on some beautiful fruit at a shop-door outside the shop4 ,he saw that no one was near2 he could touch them in passing4 ,the temptation was too great--the little fellow quickly put three lovely apples into his pocket1 and ran down the street4 ,when he got to the lamp-post at the corner1 he took out the apples and looked at them4 8,they will make my mother well1 perhaps2 but then1 are they mine to give her8 ,i could easily make her think a lady gave them to me2 but ,god would know40 ,then1 looking at them again1 he said aloud1 8,thou ,god seest me6 ,that is my ,sabbath-school ticket for to-morrow4 ,no1 mother must not have them4 ,i cannot sin against ,god40 ,he then ran back1 and had just returned the apples into the basket1 when the shopman seeing him1 thought he was stealing1 seized him by the arm1 and dragged him in4 ,the poor child1 with tears1 told the whole story1 and asked pardon for what he had done4 ,the man had a feeling heart1 and children of his own2 he was just at a loss to know whether to believe him or not1 when a kind old gentleman1 who had seen all that passed1 had followed the boy1 and heard what he said at the lamp-post1 came in1 and told him that the story was true4 ,he then bought the apples1 and many other nice things1 and gave them to ,harry1 to take home to his mother1 saying as he did so1 8,never forget what has happened this evening2 and let your ticket for to-morrow be your motto through life--#8,thou ,god seest me6' and you are sure to prosper40 ,these two boys both lived to become men4 ,harry ,brown grew up a decided and consistent ,christian4 ,he was trusted and respected by all who knew him2 he got into good employment1 married a pious wife1 and saw his poor mother end her days in his happy home4 ,robert ,wright became a prosperous man4 ,he had a fine house1 a carriage1 and servants1 and all that money could buy4 ,and yet often he did not look happy after all4 ,and at last1 one morning1 the town rang with the news of a dreadful event3 ,mr4 ,wright1 the rich merchant1 had been found dead in his bed1 with a bottle of poison beside him4 ,on looking at his papers1 it was discovered that his business was going wrong--that he had forged bills to a great amount2 and now1 seeing he must be found out1 the fear of punishment was more than he could stand1 and1 by his own hands1 he rushed into an eternal world4 ,try to remember the lessons taught by this story8 ,pray to the ,holy ,spirit to put the true fear of ,god and fear of sin into your hearts1 for ,jesus' sake8 ,and remember1 when temptation comes1 8,thou ,god seest me60 ,illustration
