Hidden Snares
Psalm 142:3
When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then you knew my path. In the way wherein I walked have they privately laid a snare for me.


Recently it was announced, as one of the latest discoveries, that a kind of telescope had been constructed which would enable any one looking through it to see far away down into quiet seas, and gaze on the wrecked and sunken ships that lie there. If only we had such an instrument in the spirit realm which we could put into the hands of men and women infatuated with sin, and so show them the moral wrecks of even last year! What a gift for a young man or woman as a permanent warning against the perils of life — the opening of their eyes to the devices of the destroyer!

(H. O. Mackey.)
