METHODIST PuLrlT,- Mr.. Bailey
preached. Text was 10 Luke 22:44
The subject was our Savior's agony in
the garden and its cause. He gave q
very general and extensive survey of the
sufferings Of Chr st, from the time he was
ordained to be lamb slain from before
the foundation Of the world. The de.
scription Of the garden agony was very
graphic, and Was presented in quite a
dramatic style. Especially when he rep
resented Christ as the Shepherd coming
out OF the wilderness, whittier he had been
to rescue the lost sheep, bearing them on
his shoulders, confronted all the way by
Satan unth> in the garden, he sinks in
his human weakness, while the most ter.
rible fear took possession Of him, lest he
should fail at last while Satan whispers
IN his cars, to cast off tho burden. or a
part OF it, which he carries, under the
threat dying there. 1t evidently made q
deep impression on the audience The
sermon closed by showing that in all this
Jesus was, to considerable extent, a pat
ern for Christians to initiate. Quite a
number of cases both biblical and Of mod.
ern date were cited in correlation of the
fact of Christian hearts being very deeply
burdened for others interests. amounting
to an agony for their salvation.
