And in dealing with the stain of sin it sometimes may do a very little to maim its power. But it is a poor, poor remedy. If it could only see the power and try to deal with that — try to get God's grace to act on that, the world might be redeemed from destruction after all. But it only sees the stain when it is too late — the stain which has dropped from the wound after the throat of virtue has been cut. Surely, when the deed is done, it is the least it could do to remove the traces of the crime.

But one need not go to society or history to see the stains of sin. We see it in one another's lives and in our own lives. Our conscience, for instance, is not so quick as it might have been — the stains of sin are there, between us and the light. We have ignored conscience many a time when it spoke, and its voice has grown husky and indistinct. Our intellectual life is not so true as it might have been — our intellectual sins have stained it and spoilt our memory, and taken the edge of our sympathy, and filled us with suspicion and one-sided truths, and destroyed the delicate power of faith.
