Appeals to Conscience

If men could but be convinced that all their actions, are, as it were, photographed in God's book of remembrance, and will sooner or later be produced as unerring evidence against them, how guarded would be their conduct. Try for a moment and depict what has occurred to you during the last month, and say, if you would like all the circumstances that have happened to you held up to the gaze of the world? No, you would shrink at the bare idea of the thing; then, my dear reader, pause, and become circumspect and watchful; think well before you act, and consider how if you yield to certain temptations, they would bear examination if minutely represented as a picture.
