MAKING ROOM FOR CHRIST.
VOC may ask the question, Well, where is He wanted
who wants him Where is there room for the Son of
God ; who viii make room for hmi" wonder il there
any that had that feeling FORTY minutes
think have had that feeling for day. There are
some who wonder how people can commit suicide. IT'S
no wonder to me- When f. el that there is no room
for them that wants them, when they feel that
tn y a burden 10 their friends and burden 70
themselves, why 10 drives then mad ! remember
wanted me felt as u there was no room for me For
about "a hours had that awful feeling that no one
wanted II to me rs II that must have been
Tie feeling OF Christ. His neighbOrs did MT want Him
those Nazarines did MT want Him they would have
Him TO the brow OF the hill and dashed HIM 70 the
bottom; the would have torn Him limb nom limb n
they could. He went down INTO Capernaum they dld MT
Him there. Jerusalem did 1T want Hun there was

was ssessed OF devils and 80 he was left alone You
could have Him under an owe tIe1 alone ana l
imanc that night yOn could have heard Him crying 10
God for His own. And perhaps II was on that meinor-

there was a place 1 have often thought OF that LITTLE
me at Bethany. IL that Martha received mn INTO

an do YOU think she regretted 1T Little did she
Know that her loved brother going 10 die when
