Lord Jesus, help that man. He sits far
back to-day He does not like to come
forward. He feels strange in religious
assembIage. He thinks perhaps we do
potwant him. o Jesus take that tremling
hand. Put thine ear to that agitated
heart and hear how it beats. 0, LIT the
iron gate Of that prison house and let that
man 90 free.
Lord Jesus, help this woman. She Is
a wanderer. No tears can she weep. See,
Lord Jesus, ,hat,-polluted soul, see-1hat
blistered foot No church for her. No
good cheer for her. No hope for her.
! Lord Jesus, 90 to that soul. Thou wilt
not stone her. Let the red hot chain,
that burns 20 the bone till the bloody ichor
Kisses in the heat, snap at Thy touch, U
have mercy on Mary Magdalene.
Lord Jesus, help that young man. He

Didst Thou see it? The clerks were all
gone The lights were down. The shut
ters were up Didst Thou see it; o, let
him not fall into the pit. RemembereSt
Thou not his mothers prayers? She can
/ pray for him no more. Lord Jesus, touch
him on the shoulder. Touch him on the
heart Lord, save that young man.
There are many young men here. got
letter from one Of them who is
probably here to-day, and shall have no
other opportunity Of answering that let

you believe in Jesus? can not save you,
my dear brother Christ can. He wants
and waits to save you, and he comes to-

do not know what our young men do
without Christ-how they get on amid all
the temptations and trials to which they
are subjected O., young men, come to
Christ to-day and put your soul and
your interest for this life and for
! the next into His keeping. In
olden times, you know, cup
bearer would bring wine or water to
the King who would drink it, first tasting
it himself, showing there was no poison
in it, then passing it to the King, who
would drink it. The highest honor that |
ask is that may be cup bearer to-day to
your soul, | bring you this water Of
| everlasting life have been drinking Of
it. There is no poison in it. 1t has never
! done me any harm. o, drink it, and live
! forever, And let that aged man put his
head down on the staff and let that poor
widowed soul bury her worried face in
her handkerchief, and these little children
fold their hands in prayer while we COM
mend you to Him who was wounded for
our transgressions and bruised for our
iniquities, for to you which believe he is
| precious.
