his case, the story of The bleeding

"Madol.na and the Child" The loyal
family came in and admired it. Every
body that looked at it was in ccstacy.

that admiration, because he did not get

he had expected: he took Il mallct and

blessed be God. there is a great corn
crib. The Lord built j.. 1t is in anolh-

once measured It, and as far as | can

"Oh!' say the people, I'VE will start
right away and get this supply lor our
soul.' But stop a moment, tor from

| This word, saying. "You shall not see
my lace except your brother he with
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. Comng without him we
shall fall before we reach the corncrib,
and our bouies shall BE Il portion for the

What are you going TO do with your

supply, and voice from within says,
Are you alonc?" The sirncr replies,
"All alOnc.' The voice from within
says, "Iou shall not see my pardonlng
