And then when you seek it there; perchanc it may have lost all its sweetness to you. purity and purity of mind or heart, I think we would say, Give me the pure heart. Let us see why the pure in heart are blessed.

They are blessed because the pure in heart have less to hinder their growth in grace. A weedy field of corn does not grow as a weeded one. Depravity in the heart is like lead, and trammels the soul in its growth. Depravity is disease in the soul, and disease retards growth. Again, the pure in heart are blessed because purity gives them greater strength.

Purity in heart involves purity in life, in word, thought and deed.

It touches all outward conditions and surroundings, temporal as spiritual. The heart is not the seat of any one passion, but the seat of all passions. It is the center of being, the organ of life, the maker of principle, the foundation of character, the fountain of feeling, and the source of all susceptibilities, of sympathy, compassion and benevolence, by which men are moved to love, worship, and serve God, and put forth effort to save souls. In a word the heart is the exponent of the man. Out of the heart proceed the issues of life.

An honest man at heart will act honestly. A truthful man will speak the truth, A pure man does things which are pure in quality. And such a life cannot but 1C blessed. Some people question whether a pure heart is .1 possibility. It must be a possibility, or Christ would never have said, "Blessed are the pure in heart." Such a heart must exist or it could not be blessd.

John says, "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Provision has been make for our perfect cleansing.
