A LENTON BROOK DAY 57 



the feelings of a hunted fox, when he discovers 

 that efforts to out-pace the pack fail, because he 

 carries with him " something " which proves his own 

 destruction. This mysterious taint, a scent, the 

 preacher cleverly applied to the lusts and vanities 

 of the world, which sooner or later bring the hounds 

 of hell on the track. Vice is their huntsman 

 lashing on the hounds. Remorse and Despair being 

 compared to terriers that follow below ground to 

 bolt the impenitent. Penitence can stop the scent, 

 and put the hounds of darkness off the track, so 

 saving the poor, hunted soul. With penitence put 

 between them and their past sins they are safe, 

 for after ah it is only unforgiven sins that leave a 

 trail behind them. The moral of the sermon was, 

 " Repent, or else evil will surely hunt the wicked to 

 destroy him."
