babe, spat on as man, and howled at af-
wounds of your soul.
Do not go around trying to crush this
falsehood and to crush that slander; you
will only come out of the contest irritated
and exasperated; but take the counsel Of
the text. Do as these disciples Of the text
did-go and tell Jesus. Go into his pres
ence and say: "Lord, l see thy wounds,
the wounds of thy head, the wounds of
thy feet, the wounds of thy hand, the
wounds Of thy side, and by thine own
wounds ask thee to pity mine" Try no
longer to carry that burden. Oh, abused
soul, go and tell Jesus!
Again commend the behavior of these
disciples to the bereaved. As stand here
Sabbath by Sabbath, and look of upon
this audience, how many signals of mourn
ing do behold! God has his own way of
breaking up the family. The emigration
from this world to the next is so vast an
enterprise that God only can conduct it.
That emigration from earth to eter-
nifty keeps three-fourths Of the fam
lilies of the world in desOlation. The child
that lay near the mothers heart is taken
to lie in the cold and in the darkness. The
laughter freezes to the girls lip and the
rose scatters. The boy comes in from
the harvest fields of Shunam saying:
"My head, my head" and dies on
the lap of his mother. WidowhoOd stands
with tragedy of woe struck into the pallor
OF the cheek, aud orphanage cries in vain
for father and for mother.
Sometimes when we have sorrow our
friends comes in, and they try to sympa-
thize with us to a certain extent, but they
can not understand it altogether. But,
blessed be God! Christ knows. He has
been oil through the trouble and all
round about it. He has counted the
tears, and counted the groans; and
before the tears started and before
the groans began he saw the

sothat when one candle was consumed eight
hours were gone; two wax candles, six
teen hours were gone; and when the third
wax candle had been consumed, then the
twenty-four hours, the whole day, was
gone. o, my friends, wish, instead Of
measuring our days and nights and years
on earth by timepiece, we would meas
ure time by mercies and opportunities,
which are burning down and burning out,
never to be relighted, lest we wake up with

cry: "Our lamps are gone out"
Isut, In the second place, I commend that
behavior Of these disciples in the text to
all the tempted. Ihave heard people say
they were never rtempted-people who have
come to mid life who have never been
tempted. Oh, my friends! It is because
they have never tried to do right. II q

because you are bound hand and foot of

Why, it is easy enough to go down
stream in boat. You can lie upon your
oars. You go just as the tide goes. But
suppose you turn around and head up
stream, then it is not so easy making
progress. AS long as you go down with
the tide of sin and iniquity, it is easy
enough to go that way; but when you
turn around and head toward God and
heaven, then it ID struggle, an awful
struggle.
