WHEN PRESIDENT Grover Cleveland was a boy, something strange happened at his home. The neighbor’s hen came over and laid an egg under a bush in Grover’s yard every day. Each day Grover would take the egg over to the neighbor who owned the hen.
One day a friend who was visiting Grover said to him, “It’s the hen’s egg, and if she wants to leave it for you, it’s yours to keep!”
“No,” answered Grover, “the hen is the neighbor’s and so are its eggs.”
We all admire an honest boy, or an honest girl. To have a good conscience before God is a most precious possession of any soul. But of course this can only come first of all through the knowledge of sins forgiven and having the Lord Jesus as our Saviour.
Then we learn to walk in self-judgment and in communion with God.
