Cause OF ChriSt's Death.

Rev. Dr. Thomas Hoyt, a Pres
byterian clergyman in Philadelphia
has preached a remarkable sermon
OF the ''Cause of Christ's Death. 7"
The sermon was preached to class
Of medical students, and advanced
the theory that the actual cause OF
Christ's death was a broken heart.
He submitted to the conditions I'M
der which He died The answer
to the question, "Whst was the
physical cause of Christ's desth?'
is, "Eupture Of the heart, caused
by mental agony. Literally. He
died of a broken heart. The
speaker Eead extracts from many
letters from eminent physicians
giving their opinions on DR.,
Stroud's book and on his deduc-
ton as to the death of the SAVER.
They all endorsed his conclusion
that Christ had died of ruptured
heart
John says, continued the
speaker, THAT when the spear was
thrust into the Savior's side, forth
with came there out blood and
water Dr. Hoyt then proceeded
to explain from q medical point of
view. He said that when the
spear-head punctured the pericar-
dunn, the blood and serum from
ruptured heart escaped. He said
that all this was simply fulfil
meut of Scriptural prediction, as
was the parting of His raiment
and the casting lots among the sol
diers for His yesture.
"But what was this mental an
guish that broke our Saviors
hear;?' asked the speaker. 1T was
not the fear of death, for He looked
toward that with longing. If I be
lifted up, He said. 4 will draw all
men to me. He anticipated death
as the consumaticn Of His labors,
'Reproach hath broken my heart,
He said, and then died. He died
for US. The weight of human guilt
