There was a man who committed a foul of murder in a Scottish castle upon a young bridegroom, at whose marriage festivities he hypocritically assisted. The assassin took horse in the dead night and fled for his life through wood and winding path. When the sun dawned, he slacked his pace, and behold! He was emerging from a thicket in front of the very castle whence he had fled, and to which tortuous paths, he had returned. Horror seized him: he was discovered and condemned death.
Like this wages of sin is waiting for you if you are not without Jesus

Few years ago two friends were visiting Niagara Falls While there one went out on the frail narrow bridge that connects Goat Island With tower rock, where the torrent precipitate itself into the fear full abyss at your feet. There he stood on the edge of life, gazing spell bound into the jaws of death ready to receive him. Deafened by the incessant roar, half behind by the spray, fragments of rainbow flashing out of the mist like spirit hands beckoning him to leap into the flood, his brain began to whirl, sense grew dim and his body slowly waved back and forth over the Yawing gulf. His friends from the shore saw his peril. He shouted to him in vain; his voice was swallowed up in the din and rush of that tremendous cataract .He sprang upon the bridge, and reaching the end of the platform, seized his friends by the arm and dazed man was saved.
This is how sin attract us but if Jesus is with us he will hold you from danger

An Arab once lost his way in the desert. His provisions were soon exhausted. For two days and nights he had not a morsel to eat .At last he came to a place where there was a little water in a well and around the well’s mouth the marks of encampment. Some people had lately pitched their tents there, and had gatherd them up and gone away again.

After searching a while, he came upon a bag tied at the mouth and full of something that felt hard and round. He opened the bag with great joy, thinking that it contain food.

When St. Francis Xavier preached in one of the cities of Japan some the multitude made sport of him. One man, more wanton than rest, went to him while he is addressed the people, pretend that he had something to communicate in private. Upon his approach, Xavier leaned his head to learn what he had to say. The scorner thus gained his object, which was to spit freely upon the face of the missionary and thus insult him in the most public manner. The missionary without speaking a word or making the least sign of anger, took out his handkerchief, wiped his face, and continued his discussion as if nothing had occurred. By such a heroic control of his passion, the scorn of the audience was turned into admiration. The most learned doctor of the city, who happened to present, said to himself that a law, which taught men such virtue, inspired men with such unshaken courage, and gave them so perfect a victory over themselves could not but be from god. So dear friends we must bear insult from others god will take care of them
