what they have been doing. and I will toll
you what all means-itmeans that they
want to kill Godl And my only wonder
is that God has not killed them. Ihave,
III other days, tasted Of their confectiohs
and leone back and tell you to-day thgt
there is no nutriment or life or health
in any thing but the bread made out Of
the old corn Of the gospel What do !
mean by that2 Ifnesn that Christ Is the
bread OF life, and, taking him, you live
and live forever. ~ A1ss SA0
But, you say, corn 10 OF but little
practical use unless 1t is threshed and
ground and baked. answer, this gos-
pei corn has gone through this process
When on Calvary all the hoofs Of human
scorn came down on the heart Of Christ,
and all the fails Of Satanic fury beat
Him long and fast was not the corn
threshed? When the mills Of Gods In
dignatlon against sin caught Christ be-
tween the upper and neither rollers, was
not the corn grouud2 When Jesus do
scended into hell, and the fame Of the
lost world wrapped Him all about, was
not the corn baked? o, yesl Christ il
ready. His pardon all ready; His peace
all ready; every thing ready in Christ
Are you ready for Him? 4-sf tI'

There Is another characteristic about
bread, and that Is, you never get tired
OF IL There arc people here seventy
years OF age who ind 1t just as appro-
pirate for the appetite as they did when,
In boyhood, their mother cut slice OF
itclear around the loaf. You have not
got tired Of bread, and that Is 4 charao-

man, are you tired OF Jesus? II SO, let
US take His name out OF the Bible, and
let US with pen and ink erase that name
wherever we see it Let us cast IL out
OF our hymnology, and let There is
Fountain" and "Rock OF Ages" 90 into
forsetfulnoss- Let US tear down the
communicable where we celebrate
His love. Let US dash down the bap-
tismal bowl where we were consecrated
to Him. Let US hurl Jesus from our
heart, and ask some other hero TO como

want ano other companion, another friend,
than Thou art" Could you do it2
The years Of your past life, aged
man, would utter protest against II,
and the. graves Of your Christian
dead would charge you with being

children would say, Grandfather, don't
do that Jesus is the one to whom
