AN OUTRAGEOUS ASSASSINATION
had just taken place. To appease re-
vspgeful woman, Herod had ordered the
death of thst noble, self,sacra6cing Chris
tian man, John the Baptist. The disciples
were in great trouble. There was no court
to which they could make appeal. But
grief must have utterSnce, and it there be
no sympathetic ear to hear it, then it must
oe cried aloud to tAs winds and the woods
and the waters. But there was an ear
ready to listen. What beauty of pathos
and what wonderful picture in the words
of my text: Tney went aud told Jesus!
He was ready to listen and He was ready
to assusge their grief, We zee Christ
standing, His own face shsdowed with bis
own sorrow, surrounded by group OF dis
ciples in violent gesticulation, with many
tears and with great outcry of woe. Ra-

wall Of palace picture Of Bible story,
wes not so skillful as the plain hand OF the
evangelist, as he puts upon canvas the
sketch of the text: They went and tod

The Goths and the Vsudsls came
down from the north of Europe and upset
the gardens, and broke down the altsrs,
and swept away everything that was good
and beautiful; and ever aud anon in the
lives of men there are rough.hsnded de-
spoilers, crusaders who come down TO de.
spoil and plunder, and to ranssck the soul.
No cavern is so deeply cleft in the noun

The foot Of the A5etest courser is not swift
enough to bear you beyond pursuit. The
arrows brought to the string fly with uuer'

pierced and stunned.
Now / am this morning to bring
A cATH0UCoE
for all your troubles. | am going 10 gather
all your grieis-I do not care what they
are / am going to gather all your grets

spark trom Gods altar. The prescription
of the text, which healed the sorrow OF the
disciples, is Just as successful prescrip-
lion to-day and will heal all your sorrows,
Now, in the frat place, l commend the
behavior of the disciples in the text to all
those who feel themselves sinful and un-
paSdoned. There comes time in every
mans life when he wakes up to an sppre.
cialion Of O sinful nature. The thought
may not have ensrgh left TO fell hint
may be only like the fash of cloud at
the close of q hot summer day; but the
man must somehow get rid Of that feeling.

1t is not wonderful when o man sees his
eternity poised on an uncertainty, that he
is determined to do something violent and
immediate. Now, can it be that there is
in ell this house this morning one man
who is unwilling to have the cancer OF sin
taken from his soul, when the divine sur
geon is ready 10 do the work aud do
It successfully cannot believe it.

you are oppressed, my brother, if you are
oppressed with sense of yolr situation, is

TELL JESUS,
Why my friends, that is the business of
Christ. He does other things, but think
the great business of Christ is to pardon
To relax tbs grip OF death from your soul
and to plant your unshackled foot on a gol-
den throne, Christ allowed the tortures Of
the bloody mount to trsnsfX him With tie
beam of his own cross he will this morning
crush in the door of your dungeon. Out
OF his own thorny crown he will pick
enough gems to make your brow blaze
with eternal victory. In every tear OF his
wet sheek, in every cash Of his wounded
aide, in every long and blackened mark Of
lscerstion from shoulder 20 shoulder, in
the grave-shstteripg, hesven,storming
death cry, l hear the words: Him that
cometh unto me will 10 no wise cast

gospel to preach What gospel to hear
Where sin abounded, grace did much
more abound"

propose to cure the wound of elm by max
ing another wound tie wound of convic
tion." Why, my brother. that is what
every physician does. of all schools. The
physicians, when they Gnd an old ranking
wound, they come with caustic and they
burn it out. and then health and restora
ton come. Here is the old sore of sin
and God comes by his convicting grace,
and be burns it out and the flesh comes
sgain as the flesh Of little child. Well
there is not man in the audience but il
ready to have that process go on in hi

right, that's Just what I would suppose
