Aram murdered a man and buried his body in a river, but a strong wind uncovered the corpse. Overcome with guilt, Aram wept at the scene, realizing his secret could no longer be kept even if buried deep under land or sea. Secret sins tend to lead to more sins and can become habitual or addictive, potentially causing people to be lost. While secret sins should be confessed only to God, open confession is required for obvious sins. Secret sins can endanger spiritual growth if not controlled.

3. “The Dream of Eugene Aram” by hood.
Aram murdered a man and cast his body into the river –
“a sluggish water, black as ink, the depth was so extreme”
The next morning he visited the scene of his guilt :
“And sought the black accursed pool,
With a wild misgiving eye;
And he saw the dead in the river bed,
For the faithless stream was dry.”
Net he covered the corpse with heaps of leaves,
but a mighty wind swept through the wood
and left the secret bare before the sun:
“Then down I cast me on my face,
And first began to weep,
For I knew my secret then was one
The earth refused to keep;
On land or sea though it should be
Ten Thousand fathoms deep.”
