A Conscience Void of Offense

"To HAVE always a conscience void of offense toward God, and toward men." Most persons are content with a good conscience toward men only. They do not lie to them, nor steal from them. But as to God, who is to the whole race of men as a billion to one, they do not pretend to have aimed at right dealing. This is as if a clerk who had decamped with $30,000 of his employer's money, and spent some of it in "treating" his accomplices, should boast of being so fine a friend to his acquaintances.—Sel.
