The world did everything for Lord
Byron that it could do, and yet ia his

appropriate to his case, the story of

The royal family came in aud admired
it. Every body that looked at it was in &c
stacy; but one day, after all that toll and
all that admiration. because he did not
get as much compensation for his work
as he had expected, he took a mallet
and dashed the exquisite scul pture into
atoms. The world IS poor cCmPenss-
ton, poor satisfaction, poor solace.
Famine, famine in all the earth; not
for seven years, but for six thousand.
But. blessed be God, there IS a great
corn crib. The Lord built it 1t is In
another land. 1t is "a large place An
angel once measured It, and far rs
can calculate It in our phrase, that corn
crib is 1, 500 miles long and 1 800 broad
and 1, 500 high, and it is full Food for
all nations. cor" say the people, ''yve
will start right away and get this sup
ply for our soul. "
But stop moment; from the keeper
of that corn crib comes this word, say
ing: you shall uOt see my face ez-
cept your brother be with you" In
other words, there is no such thing as
getting from Heaven pardon, and com
fort, and eternal life unless we bring
with rs our Divine Brother, the Lord
Jesus Christ Coming without Him We
shall fall before we reach the corn
crib, and our bodies shall be a por-
ton for the jsclcals OF the wilder
ness; but coming with the Di-
vine Jesus. all the granaries of
Heaven will swing open before our
soul. and abundance shall be given us.
We shall be invited to sit in the palace

the Lord of Heaven is aPportioning
from his own table TO other tables he
will not forget Us; and then and there
it will be found that our Benjamin's

I want to make three points. Every
frank and common sense man will ac-
knowledge himself TO be a sinner.
What are you going to do with your
sins? Have them Pardoued, you say.
How? Through the mercy of God
What do you mean by the mercy of
God? Is il the letting down for the ad-
mission of all without respect to char
acter? BE not deceived. see a soul
coming up to the gate of mercy and
knocking at the corn crib of heavenly
supply, and voice from within says;
''Are you alone?" The sinner replies:
''All alone. 50 The voice from within
says: You shall not see my pardon
ing face unless your Divine Brother,
the Lord Jesus, be with you"
o, anxious sinner! o, dying sinnerl
o, lost sinner! ali you have got TO do is
to have this Divine benjamin along
with you. Side by side, coming TO the
gate, all the store houses of Heaven
will swing open before yOur anxious
soul. Am I right in calling Jesus Ben
jamin? o, yes, Rachel lived only long
enough to give a name to that child
and with dying kiss she called him
BeuOni Afterward Jacob changed his
name, and called him benjamin The
meaning of the name she gave was
'sson of my pain" " The meaning Of the
name the father gave was ''son of my
right hand" And was not Christ the
son of pain? All the sorrOws of Rachel
in that hour. when she gave her child
nothing compared with the struggle of
God when He gave up His only Son
The omnipoteut God in a birth throel
And was not Christ appropriately called
''Son of the Right Hand?"
