Homilist Psalm 119:36 Incline my heart to your testimonies, and not to covetousness. I. THE EVIL OF MAN AND ITS ANTIDOTE. 1. The evil of man is covetousness. This is the root of the moral Upas. 2. The antidote of this evil is Divine truth. The Word of God not only condemns covetousness, but inspires the soul with that love to God and man that expels it. II. THE HEART OF MAN AND ITS TENDENCY. 1. The heart of man is his moral self. According to it so he is, right or wrong. 2. According to its tendency will be his destiny.
