But what means all this crooked plow-
Ing. these crooked burrows. the repentance
that amounts to nothing, the repentance
that ends in nothing? Men groan over
their sins, but get 10 better. They weep.
but their tears are not counted. They get
convicted, but not converted. What is the
reason' l remember that on the farm
we set a standard with a red nag at the
other end OF the field. We kept our eye
on that. We aimed at that. We plowed
MP 70 that Losing sight Of that we
made n crooked furrow. Keeping our
eyes on that we made straight furrow.
Now il this matter OF conviction we must
have some standard to guide US. 1t is
red standard that God he's set at the
other end of the field. II is the cross.
Keeping your eye on that you will make a
straight furrow. Losing sight Of it you
viii make a crooked furroz. Plow up to
the cross. Aim not at either end of tbs
horizontal piece Of the cross but at the
upright piece, at the center OF it, the hear,
of the Son of God, who bore your sins and
made satisfaction. Crying and weeping
will not bring you through. Him hath
God exalted to be q Prince and Saviour
TO give repentance" Oh plow up TO the
crossi
Again 1 remark, in grace as. in the field
there must be a sowing. In the autumn
weather you find the farmer going scros:
The field at a stride Of about twenty-threC
inches, and st every stride he puts bis hand
into the sack Of grain and he sprinkles the
seed corn over the field. II looks silly to ,
man who does rot know what be is doing
lie is doing very important work. He Is
scattering tho winter grain, and though
the snow may come, the next year there
will be great crop. Now, that is wha:
we are doing when we are preaching the
gospel-Ve sre scattering the seed. 1t is
the foolishness Of preaching, but Il Is th'
winter grain; AID though the snow o.
worldljness may come down upon it. i
will yiald after a while glorious harvest
