"When the sun's rays arc let into a room, clouds of dust will be seen floating in the air which before were unseen, and various stains and spots will appear, which were before un- noticed. !So it is with the spiritual and moral light of the MISCELLANEOUS APOPHTHEGMS. 311 Gospel, by whicli, as the conscience becomes more tender, more vigilant, and better regulated, we shall be given in- creased insight into our own defects The distinct uses of Scripture, in all that relates to morals, and of nat...ural conscience, may be illustrated by the comparison of a sun-dial and a clock. The clock has the ad- vantage of being always at hand to be consulted at any hour of the day or night. But then the clock is liable to go wrong, and vary from the true time. And it has no power in itself of correcting its own errors, so that these may go on increasing to any extent, unless it be from time to time regulated by the dial, which is alone the unerring guide. Thus our consciences are liable to deceive us even to the greatest extent, or to give wrong judgment, if they are not continually corrected and regulated by a reference to the "Word of God, which alone — like his Sun in the natural "world — affords an infallible guide.
