That was the lament Of the world 5 come
dian and Joker.
All Unhappy.
The world did everything for Lord Byron
that it could do, and yet in his last moment
he asks friend TO come and sit down by
him and read as most appropriate to his
case the story of The Bleeding Heart.
Torrigiano the sculptor, executed, alter
months Of care and carving, The Madonna
ard the Child" The royal family came in
and admired it. Everybody that looked at
it was in ecstacy; but one day, after all
that toll and all that admiration, because
he did not get as much compensation for
his work as be had expected, he took NAL
let and dashed the exquisite sculpture into
stones. The world is poor compensation,
poor satisfaction, poor solace. Famine,
famine in all the earth; not for seven years,
but for 5000. But, blessed be God, there
is a great corn crib. The Lord built it. 1t
is in another land. 1t is lsrge place
An angel once measured i, and as far a. !
can calculate 1t in ~. phrase, that corn

and ,yvG high, and it is full. Food for all
/ nations. "Oh " say the people, I'VE will
etart right away ard get this supply for our
souls" But, stop moment, for from the
keeper Of that corn crib comes this word,
saying: "You shall not see my face ex.
cept your brother be with you" In other
words there is no such thing as getting from
heaven pardon and omrort and eternal life
unless We bring with Us
Our Divine Brother
tie Lord Jesus Christ. Coming without
Him we shall fall before we reach the corn
crib and our bodies shall De portion t0r the
iackals Of the wilderness; but coming with
the divine Jesus sll the granaries Of heaven
will swing open before Cur soul and abund

want to make three points Every

them pardoned you cay. How? Through

and knocking at the corn crib Of heavenly
supply, and voice from within says: Are
you alone?' Thesin replies: "All alone. ="
The voice from within says: "Icu shall not
see nv pardoniug face unless Jour divine
brother, the Lord Jesus be with yoa." Oh,
that is the point at which go many are dis.
comftted. There 10 no mercy from God
except through Jesus Christ. Coming with
him we are accepted. Coming without
him we are rejected. Peter put it right in
bis great serGon before the high priests
when he thuudered forth Neither is there
salvation in any other. There is no other
name given under hea7cn among men

Nv tex, also suggests the reason why so
many people do not get any real comfort
You meet ten people; nine OF them are in
need of some kind os coincidence. There IS
something in their health or in their state
or in their domestic condition that
Demands Sympathy.
And vet the most OF the worlds sympathy
amounts 10 absolutely nothing. People go
to the wrong crib or they 90 in the wrong
way. When the plague was in Rome Il
great many years ago, there were eighty
men vSo chaDted themselves TO death with
the lilanies Of Gregory the Great-literally
chanted themselves to death-und yet it did
not stop the plague. And all the music OF
this world cannot halt the plague OF the
humaa heart. come to some one whose
ailn, eats are chronic and say: "ln heaven
you vii never be sick" That does not
give you much comfort. What you want is
a soothing power for yOnF present distress.
Lost children, have your ! come TO you
and tel sou 4 At in tea years perhaps you
will meet those loved ones before the throne
of God. But tAere is but little condoIence
in tkat. One day is . year without them
ard ten wears is small eternity. What
YOU want is sympathy now-present help.
/ come 10 thase OF YOU who have lost dear
friends ard ,ay: FRY 10 forget them. Do
not keep the departed always in your mind.
How can you forget them when every figure
in the CARPET and every book and every pic.
tn7e and every room calls out their name.

coincidence: God q wise. oh, yor
