SIN leaves a trail behind it. It has a more slimy track than the snail. Give sin liberty, and it will soil your soul. And when you have judged yourself for the sin, and confessed it to God, none but He can cleanse you from its unrighteousness. There are children of God whose souls are and have been defiled for months together by the pollution of sin—of sin given way to, indulged in, and unconfessed.
