butchers and poulterers and caterers of the prime minister prepare the repast. The guests are seated in small groups. two or three at table, the food on a tray; all the luxuries from imperial gardens and orchards and aquariums and aviaries are brought there and are filling chalice and platter
 Now is the time for this prime min fster, if he has grudge against Benja- min, to show it. Will he kill him, now that he has him in his hands2 Oh, mol This lord of the corncrib is seated at his own table. and he looks over to the table of his guests. and tE sends DOT ton to each of them. but sends larger portion to Benjamin, or, as the Bible quaintly puts it, "Renjalnin's mess was five times so much as any of theirs" Be quick and send word back with the swiftest camel to Canaan to old Jacob that Benjamin is well; all is well; he is faring surnptuously; the Egyptian lord did not mean murder and death, but he meant deliverance and life when he announced to us on that day, 'Ye shall not see my face unless your brother be with you '5
 THIS WORLD UNDER A CURSE.
 We'll, my friends this world is fam inc struck of sin. It does not yield single crop of solid satisfaction. It is dying It is hunger bitten The fact that it does not, cannot, feed mans heart was we'll illustrated in the life of the English comedian. All the world honored hiln--did everything for him that the world could do. He was ap plauded in England and applauded in the United States. He reused up na- tions into laughter. He had no equal. And yet, although many people sup posed him entirely happy, and that this world was completely satiating his soul, he sits down and writes: II never in my life put on new hat that it did not rain and ruin it. Inever went out in a shabby coat because it was rain ing and thought all who had the choice would keep indoors that the sun did not burst forth in it's strength and bring out with it all the butterflies of fashion whom ] knew and who knew me. l never consented to accept a part l hated, out of kindness to another, that I did not get hissed by the public and cut by the writer could not take a drive for a few minutes with Terry with out being overturned and having my el bow bone broken, though my friend got of unharmed. could not make a GOV. enant with Arnold. which thought was to make my fortune without making his instead, than in an incredible space of time-I think thirteen months-l earned for him twenty thousand pounds and for myself one. an per suaded that if were to set up as beggar every one in my neighborhood would leave off eating bread" That was the lament of the worlds comedian and joker. All unhappy.
 The world did everything for 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 appropriate to his case, the story of ''The Bleeding Heart" Torrigiano, the sculptor. executed, after months of care and carving, Madonna 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 he did not get as much compen sation for his work as he had expected, he took a mallct and dashed the ex quisite scul pture into atoms. The world is poor compensation. poor satisfaction, poor sOl;lce Famine. famine, in all the earth; not for seven years, but for six thousand.
 But. blessed be God there is great corncrib The Lord built it. It is in another land. It i> a large place. An angel once measured it, and as far as l can calculate it in our phrase. that corn crib is fifteen hundred miles long and fifteen hundred broad and fifteen hun dred high and it is full Food for all nations. "Oh!" say the people, i've will start right away and get this sup ply for our soul" But stop moment; for from the keeper of that corncrib there comes this word. saying, You shall not see my face except your broth CT be with you" .... ,s.
 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 corncrl,. and our bodies shall be DOT tion for the jackals of the wilderness. but coming with the Divine Jesus. all the granaries 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 tc other tables he will not forget us and then and there it will be found that our Benjalnin's mess is larger than all the others. for 30 it ought to be Worthy is the lalub that was slain. to receive blessing and riches and honor and glory and power. t.-
