the keeper Of that corncci5 there comes
this word, saying. you shall not see

YOU" In other words, there IS no such
thing as getting from heaven pardon and
comfort and eternal life unless We bring
with US our Divine Brother, the Lord
Jesus Christ. Coming without him we
shall fall before we reach the corncrib,
and our booies shall be a portion for the
jackals of the wilderness; but coming
with the Divine Jesus, all the granarics
Of heaven will swing open before our
soul and abundance shall be given Us.
We shall be invited to sit in the palace
OF the king and at the table; and while
the Lord OF heaven is opportloning from
his own table 10 ether tables, he will
not forget US; and then and there it will
be found that our Benjamin's mess is
larger than all the others, for so it ought
to be. Worthy is the Lamb that was
slain TO receive blessing and riches and

NO ADMISSION WITHOUT CHRIST.
l want to make three points. Every
frank and common sense man will ac-
knowledge himself to be sinner.
What are you going TO do with your
sins? Have them pardoned, you say.
How? Through the mercy of God. What
do you mean by the mercy Of God? Is
It the letting down of bar for the ad-
mission ot all, without respect TO char
acter: Be hot deceived. l see soul
coming up to the gate of mercy and
knocking at The corncrib Of heavenly
supply, and voice from within says,
Are you alone:" The sinner replies,
"All alone.' The voice from within
says, "You shall not see my pardonlng
face unless your Divine Brother, the
Lord Jesus, be with YOU" Oh, that is
the point at which so many are discom.
forted. There is no mercy from God
except through Jesus Christ. Coming
with him we are accepted. Coming
without him, We are rejected.
Peter put it right in his great sermon
before the high priests when ne thun-
dered forth: ''Neither is there saliva
Slon in any other. There is no other
name given under heaven among men
we may be saved" 0 aux.

Racnel lived only long enough TO give a
name to that child, and with a dying
kiss she called him Benoni. Aflerward
Jacob changed his name, and he called
him Benjamin. The meaning OF tie
name she gave was ''Son Of my Pain. "
The meaning Of the name the father
gave was ''Son Of My Righr Hand. "
Aud was not Christ the Son of Pain?
All the sorrows Of Rachel in that hour,
when she gave her child over into the
hands OF strangers was nothing COM
pared with the struggle Of God when he
gave up his only Son. The omnipotent
God in a birth throe. And was not
