THIS WORLD UNDER a CURSE.
We'll, my friends, this world is. fam.

single crop of solid satisfaction. 1t is
dying. 1t is hunger bitten The fact
that il does not. cannot. feed mans

the English comedian. All the world

that the world could do. He WAS ap.

The world did everything for Lord
Byron that it could do, and yet i'll his
last moment he asks friend TO come
and sit down by lin and read, as most
appropriate to his case, the story OF
1.-THE Bleeding Heart Torrigiano,
the sculptor. executed, after months OF
care and csrving, "Matlonna and the
Child" The royal family came In and
admired it, Everybody That looked at
it was In ecstacy. but one day, after all
that toll, and all that admiration, be-
cause lie did not get as much compen-
Sation for his work us he had expected,
he took Il luallet and dashed the eX-
quisite sculpture into atoms. The world
is poor compensation. poor satisfaction,
poor solace. Famine, famine, in all
the earth; not for seven years, but for
six thousand.
But. blessed be God there is q great
corncrib. The Lord built it. 1t is in
another land 1t is large place. An
angel once measured it. and us far as |
can calculate it in our phrase. that corn
crib is fifteen hundred miles long and

for from tile keeper of that corncrib
there comes this word. saying, You
shall not see my face except your broth
er be 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 Coming without
him we shall fall before we reach the
corncrib. and our bodies shall be por-
ton for the jackals OF the wilderness,
but coming with the Divine Jesus, all
the g1anaries 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 tile Lord of heaven is
apportioning from his own table to
other tables he will not forget us, and
therLa,ld there it will be found that our
Benjamin's mess is larger than all tire
others, for SO it ought TO be. Worthy

blessing and riches and honor and
