LITTLE SINS.

By Gospel News

It is said that a man one day was strolling along in the country, and he noticed a magnificent golden eagle flying bravely upward. He watched it with delight and admiration, and as he did so, he noticed that something was wrong with it. It seemed unable to go any higher. Soon it began to fall, and then it lay at his feet a lifeless mass.
What could be the matter? No human hand had harmed it. No sportsman's shot had reached it. He went and examined the bird, and what did he find? It had carried up with it a little weasel in its talons, and as it drew these near to it for flight, the little creature had wormed itself out of them and drank the life-blood from the eagle's breast.
How like this is all sin! It may appear a little thing, but it fastens upon the soul and works death and destruction.—Gospel News.
