Grace is an attribute of God exercised toward undeserving human beings. We did not seek for it, but it was sent in search of us.

The lost coin, in the Savior's parable, though lying in the dirt and rubbish, was a piece of silver still. Its owner sought it because it was of value. So every soul, however degraded by sin, is in God's sight accounted precious. God desires to recover that soul and to retrace upon it His own image in righteousness and holiness.

It is always humiliating to have one's errors pointed out. None should make the experience more bitter by needless censure. When one at fault becomes conscious of his error, be careful not to destroy his self-respect. We need to put ourselves in the place of the tempted ones. Consider the *power of heredity, *the influence of evil associations and surroundings, *the power of wrong habits.

We need more of Christlike sympathy;
For though I made you sorry with my epistle, I do not regret it: though I did regret it, . . . I now rejoice, not that ye were made sorry, but that ye were made sorry unto repentance. .
2 Corinthians 7: 8-10
