CHRIST, THE sYAiPATHIZER.
Again I remark, that we are TO look TO
Christ as q sympatbizer. Is there any BODY
in the house to-day who does not want
sympathy? do rot know how anybody
csn live without sympathy. There are
those, however, who have gone through
very rough paths IL life who hsd NO divine

There IS one passage OF Scripture, every
gcrd Of which ia a heart throb: Gone
unto me, all ye who ara weary and heavy
laden, srd / will give you res" Then
there is another passage Just as good:
CAST thy burden on the Lord and be vii
