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 49, that toll and all that ad-
miration, because he did not get as much
compensation for his work as he had ex
pected, he took a mallet and dashed the
exquisite sculpture into atoms. The world
is poor compensation, poor satisfaction,
poor solsce. 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, and as far as | 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

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, thereis no such thing as getting from
heaven pardon and comfort and eternal
life unless we bring with US our Divine
t Brother, the Lord Jesus Christ. Coming
q without him we shall fall before we reach
the corncrib, and our bodies shall be a
portion for the jackals of the wilderness;
d but coming with the Divine Jesus, all the
:. granaries of heaven will swing open before
q our soul and abundance shall be given US.
