tell Christ you are sorry. You cannon

whom everything depends.
/ do not know how you Will get away
from this subject. You see that you
are sold out and that Christ wants TO
buy YOU back. There are three persons
who come after YOU to-day: God the
father, God the Son, and God the Holy
Ghost. They unite their three omnipo'
fences in one movement for your saliva

combat? BY the highest throne in

will carry you away.
Would you not like to be free? Here
is the price OF your liberation-not
money. but blood. ! tremble from head
TO fool. not because ! lear your presence
but because fear you will miss yoar
chance for immortal rescue. This is
the alternative divinely put: HE that

lasting life. and he that believeth not
on the Son shall not see lie, but the
wrath OF God abideth on him." In the
last day. II you now reject Christ, every
drop OF that sacriicial blood, instead OF
pleading for your release, as 1t would
have pleaded II you had repented, will
plead against you.
o Lord God OF the judgement day!
avert that calamity! Let us see the
quick fash OF the cimeter that Stays
the sin but saves the sinner. Strike,
omnipotent God, for the souls deliver
ance. Beat, o eternal sea! with all thy
waves against the barren beach OF that
rocky soul and make 1t tremble. o. the

minute, that SECOND.
Same years ago there came down
fierce storm on the sea coast, and YES
sci got in the breakers and was going to
pieces. They threw up some signal oil
distress, and the people on shore saw
them. They put out in life boat.
They came on and saw the poor sailors,
almost exhausted. clinging to raft; and
so afraid were the boatmen that the
men would give up before they got to
them, they cave them three rounds OF
cheers, and cried: Hold on there!
hold on! Well save you!" After
awhile the boat came up. One man
was saved by having the boat-hook put
in the collar OF his coat; and some in
one way and some in another; but they
all got into the boat. Now" says the
captain, "for the shore. Pull away
now, pull!" The people on the land
were afraid the life boat had gone
down. They said: ''How long the
boat stays. Why, it must have been
swamped and they have all persisted to-
gether" And there were men and wo'
men on the pier heads and on the
bench wringing their hands; and
while they waited and watched they saw
something looming up through the
mist and it turned out to be the life
boat. AS soon as it came within speak
ing distance the people on the shore
cried out: ibid you save any OF them:
Did you save any of them?" And a:
the boat swept through the boiling
surf and came to the pier head the cap
tain waived his hand over the exhausted
sailors that lay flat on the bottom OF the
boat, and cried: "All saved Thank
God! All savedw So may it be to-day
The waves OF your sin run high, The
storm is on you, but cheer you with
this gospel hope. God grant that with
in the next ten minutes we may row
with you into the harbor of Gods mer
cy. And when these Christian mer
gather around to see the result Of this
service. and the glorified gathering OF
the pier heads OF heaven to watch ant
to listen, we may be able to report al
saved! Young and old, good and bad
All saved! Saved for time. Saved fol
eternity. "And so 1t came to pass tina
they all escaped safe to land"
