Lord Byron that it could do, and yet in his
last moment he asks friend to come and
sit down by him and read, as most appro-
pirate to his case, the story Of 1.-THE Bleed
ing Heart" Torrigiano, the sculptor, exc
cuted, after months of care and carving,
Madonna and the Child" The royal
family came in and admired it, Every
body that looked at it was in ecstacy But
one day, after 10 that toll and all that adj
miration, because he did not get as much
compensation for his work as he had ex-
pected, he took mallet and dashed the
exquisite 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 a great corncrib. The Lord built
it. 1t is in another land. It is a
large place An angel once measured
1t, and as far az | can calculate it in our
phrase that corncrib is fifteen hundred
miles long and fifteen hundred broad and
fifteen hundred high, and it is full. Food
for allinations. "Ohl" say the people, 1--WE
will start right away and get this supply
for our soul" But stopa moment, for from
the keeper Of that corncrib there comes this
word, saying, "You shall not see my face
except your brother be with you" In other
words, there's 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 a
portion for the jackals of the wilderness;
but coming with the Divine Jesus, all the
Rranaries 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 apportioning from his
own table to other tables, he will not forget
us; and then and there 1t 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 re-
ceive blessing and riches and honor and
glory and power"
NO ADMISSION WITHOUT CHRIST.
i want to make three points. Every
frank and common sense man will acknowl-
edge himself to be a sinner. What are you
going to do with your sinsS Have them
you say. HowP Through the
mercy of God. What do you mean by the
mercy of GodP Is it the letting down of a
bar for the admission of all, without re-
spect to characterp Be not deceived. see
a soul coming up to the gate of mercy and
knocking at the corncrib of heavenly sup
ply, and a voice from within says, "Are
you alone~ The sinner replies, "All
alone" The voice from within says, "You
shall not see my pardoning face unless
your Divine Brother, the Lord Jesus, be
with you" Oh, that is the point at which
30 many are disconnected There is no |
mercy from God except through Jesus |
Christ. Coming with him we are accept
ed. Coming without him, we are rejected. |
Peter put it right in his great sermon
before the high priests when he Numbered |

other. There is no other name given un-
