There is no abatement in the crowds
that, attend the revival meetings in
Central Park church conducted by Dr..
Munhal. Last night the spacious ed
lice was filled to it's capacity. People
were even sitting Ill windows and inches
i'm the wall. Dr.. Munhall was hoarse,
from previous efforts, but his efforts re-
suited in ten conversions. He took his
text from the twelfth chapter, twenty
fourth verse, OF Hebrews, land to
Jesus, the mediator of the new cove
nant, and to the blood of spfinkling
that speaketh better things than that of
Abel"
1T is generally believed" he said,
s'that the blood of sprinkling is that of
Christ, and such a belief is correct. 1t
is also believed that the blood of Abel
was that which coursed through Abel'S
veins, but such is incorrect. AbelS
blood was that of the lamb and brought
as peace offering and accepted. Gains
blood was given as a thank offering, and
rejected. This aroused his anger
against his brother, and he raised his
hand and slew him. Our blood is bet
ter than that offered by Abel, and
shows how much better the sprinkling
y.
Beecher once said that he WAS tired
and sick Of the Moody and Sankey
hymns, for they made a man wade
ankle deep in blood to be saved.
He said it was the love of
God, and not the blood that
saved sinners. No man ought ever to
talk that way. for he is shown an ego
fist, and unwilling to humble himself to
God For instance, here is a railroad
track and rushing train. A child is
playing on the track, unconscious of
ats peril. The mother sees its danger
but cannot reach it, and the
wheels pass over its little
body. The mothers love was
strong, and yet it did not save the
child. Take another illustration. The
mother sees the ehild's peril and
springs OH the track and throws it
attempt. Did she not save the child by
her blood? Brethren, Gods love will
not save anybody. God so loved the
world that He gave His only sen;
threw Him under the pom
derous wheels of Justice and
Christ gave bis blood that sinners might
be saved. Fhe life is in the blood and
the blood that maketh at0nemeDt for
the soul. God says we are redeemed by
the blood of Christ, and his own shed
blood was the price OF cur ransom. Re-
deemed means to buy back. You are
not your own, for you have been
BOUGHT WITH THE PRICE.
You don't belong to yourself. God
has bought you back, though you may
arbitrarily resist and go On living in
sin. You must either die eternally or
receive this gracious truth. Another

blood. God loved us and gave His
blood as the ransom. On that basis
alone can God be justified. The law
is ineXorable and knows no
mercy. The definition for justification
Is to pass oyer record as though it
never was. 1t is complete putting
away of all that was against us. The
sins of every man and woman in st.
Paul are weighty enough to
SINK THEM TO HE'LL.
Oh, the agony of that awful hour
when He bore the sins Of the world and
gave His blood that we might live! l
wish you could realize it. We are not
only justified in life, but saved, by
his blood, from wrath. remember an
incident that occurred during the war.
For some reason the Confederates had
put to death ten Yankee soldiers. This
mandant he ordered that 100 rebel pris-
Oners be detailed TO draw lots to see who
should compose the ten to die, in
retaliation. The ten men were
selected and taken to an open
field and stood in line. As they marched
past a young soldier named William
Leer noticed that very dear friend of
his was amongst the doomed men. He
asked permission to be substituted and
the commander consented. Leer ran
over TO the victims, whispered to the
friend and took his place in the ranks,
while the saved comfade joined the
crowd. The firing squad marched
In and came to halt. The
order was given: Ready aim-fre!
Ten men lay weltering in their blood,
and the young soldier knew that he had
been saved by Leers blood. l notice
another thing that is true of the blood
that speaketh better things than that of
Abel. That is, peace. God, through
