the world Many are the dying
hearts Wnlcn tDey naY0 cneeEeu.
Heart trouble is the commOnest thing
in the world. No rank, or class, or
condition is exempt from.it. No bars
or bolts, or locks can keep it out.
The journey of life is full of trouble
even the best of christians have many
bitter cups to drink between grace
and glory. But what is the remedy
applied by the Great Teacher? 1t is
simple faith in God. aye believe in
God'' &c. Faith is the only antidote
10 heart trouble. But what would he

my fathers house are many man
sions." ~ 81 go to prepare a place
for YOU" (3) 81 will come again and
receive you to myself" (4) The GER

it were not so, 1 would have told
YOU" These tender and Inimitablt
beautiful truths of the gospel, when
received by faith, are fitted to allay
every fear, silence every murmer, and
give consolation to- the soul. The
entire sermon was one full of consOla'
lion to the true christian.
