If this view be made the interpretation of sin it is simply not canal to the higher standards of conscience. Many sincerely make a regular confession in Church that they are "miserable sinners" on this theological ground. But they run the risk of allowing this confession to deceive them, to obscure the fact that.they are gravely at fault in another direction altogether. To identify sin with the echo of a doctrine is to make concdence a most misleading mirror, and is accountable for much spiritual blindness and moral mischief.
