within his reach? There is great power in the atonement. Your mind is
troubled, and the whole soul is in desperate need of a physician.
I cannot give you up. I must see you what God would have you to
be, filled with repentance and remorse, which will be followed by a
sweet sense of pardon and pure, holy joy. Jesus is sorry for you; He
pities you; He wants to save you. He is not willing that you should
perish but that you should have eternal life.
God’s Law the Only Standard of Righteousness—God has not
separated from you, but your sins and your iniquities have separated
your soul from God. You are sin-sick, and you need a physician.
Look into the mirror, God’s holy law, which is the only standard of
righteousness. It is the sin detector. Will you see your sins in the light
of the law? Will you have faith in Jesus as the sin-pardoning Saviour?
The royal law is before you, and you must meet its requirements.
It is the only standard of righteousness; it measures your life and
your character. I am sad to be compelled to tell you that you are a
transgressor of the law. Practical faith in Jesus Christ is the only thing
that will save you; the precious blood of Jesus alone will cleanse from
every spot and stain of sin.

was witnessing your evil work, seeing your actions and hearing your
words, and these are also registered in the books of heaven?
She was sitting on your lap; you were kissing her, and she was
kissing you. Other scenes of fondness, sensual looks and deportment,
were presented before me, which sent a thrill of horror through my
soul. Your arm encircled her waist, and the fondness expressed was
having a bewitching influence. Then a curtain was lifted, and I was
shown you in bed with Sister N. My guide said, “Iniquity, adultery.”...
Unimpressible as a Stone—When I tried to show you the aggra-
vated character of sin in the sight of God of a watchman upon the walls
of Zion, you did not seem to feel or to sense the sin, but you seemed as
unimpressible as a stone. I know you are seeking to cover your ways
