must make application of this subject
also to those who are prospered Have
you, my friends, found that dollars and
cents are no permanent consolation to the
soul? You have large worldly resources,
but have you no tr assures, no heayen2 Is

put your dying he1 d on? You have heard
people all last waek talk about earthly
values. Hear a pl lin man talk about the
heavenly. DO YOU not know it will be
worse for you, O prospered man, if you

must make my application 10 another
class Of persons the poor When you can
not pay your rem when it is due, have you
nobody but the udlOrd TO talk to? When
the flour has gone out Of the barrel, and
you have not ton cents with which To
go to the bakery, and your children are
Juggling at yOu' dress for something to
eat, have you nothing but the worlds char
tiles to appeal to? When winter comes,
and there are no Goals, and the ash
barrels have nc more cinders, who takes
care Of your Have you nobody but the
oyerseer Of the poor? But preach to you
poor mans Christ. If you do not have
i'm the winter blankets enough to cover

who had not where to lay his head, If you
leon the bare loUr, want to tell you OF
aim who had for pillow hard cross, and
whose foot bath was the streaming blood
Of his own heart.
Oh, you poo mani Oh, you poor wom-
ami Jesus understands your case alto
gether. Talk i right out to him tonight
Get down on your floor and say; Lord
Jesus Christ, thou vast poor and | am
poor Help me Thou art rich now, and
bring me up ~ thy richest" Do you think
God would cast You Off Will he? You
might as well think that a mother would
take the child that feeds on her breast ard
dash its life out, rs 10 think that God
would put ASIDE roughly those who have
fed 20 him for pity and compassion. Yea,
the prophet says, "a woman may forget
ersucking child, that she should not have
compassion on the son Of her womb, but |
will not forge thee
