CHRIST CONES TO THE FALLEN

his own burden and pay his own debts. Z"
That sounds reasonable. II | have an OBJ
legation and have the means 10 meet IL,
and come 90 you and ask you 60 settle
that obligation, you rightly say, PAY your

the street, both hale, hearty and we'll. ask
you 20 carry me, you say, and say rightly.
Walk on your own feetF' But suppose
you and were in a regiment and | WAS
wounded in the battle and l fell uncon-
scious az your feet with gunshot fractures
and disIocations. what would you dor You
would call 10 your comrades saying,
Come and help, this man is helpless;
bring the ambulance, let Us take him TO
the hospital" and | would he a dead lift
In your arms, and you would lift me from
the ground where had fallen and put me

Would there be anything mean in your do

meaning in my accepting that kindness,
Oh. no. You would be mean not 10 do it.

the fact is we have fallen in the battle, we
have gone down under the hot fire of our
transgressions, we have been wounded by
the sabers of sin, we are helpless, we are
undone- Chist comes. The loud ciang

Christ comes down to see us, and we are

sins' You cannot carry successfully the
smallest sin you ever committed You
might rs well put the Apcnnines on one

| Of your nights. There are men who have
been riddlesl of sin. The world gives them
no solace. Gossamer and volatile the world,
while eternity, as they look forward to it.,
| is black as midnight. They writhe under
| the stings Of a conscience which proposes
| TO give no rest here and no rest hereafter;
| and yet they do not repent, they do not
pray, they do not weep. They do not real
