Denevolencs and sympathy AMI bountsous-
ness and fatherllness and motherliness aud
patience ani pardon OF our Col.
There are certain names 50 magnetic that
tbeir pronunciation thrills all who hear IL.
such is the name OF the Italian solder an
iberat0r. Garihaldi. Marching with his
troops, he met Il shepherd VINO was in great
distress tecIuse he had lost a lamb. Carl
bald said 70 his troops: LIST us help this
poor shepherd find his lamb" And so, with
lanterns and torches they explored the
mountains but did not find the lamb and
after an unsuccessful search late at night
they went TO their encampment.
The next morning Garibaldi was found
asleep far ON into the day, and they
Weakened him for some purpose AMI founi
that he had not given up the search when
the soldiers did, but had kept on still farther
into the night and had found IT, aud he pulled
down the blankets from his couch and there
lay the lamb, which Garibaldi ordered i'm
| mediately taken TO its owner. SO the Com
! mander OF all the hosts OF heaven turned
aside from His glorious and victorious
march through the centuries Of heaven and
sand: Il will go and recover that lost world,
and that race OF whom Adam was the pro-
genitor, and let all who will accompany
Me-"
And through ths night they came, but
w ~ ~ NhhN bllt gent tSNDIl came my
farther than the clouds but their most illus =
| trious Leader came all the way down, and by
| the time His errand Is done our little world,
/ our wandering aud lost world, our world
ilcrcy with the light, will be found in the
! bosom Of the Great Shepherd, and then all
heaven will take up the cantata AM sing:
'Ihe lost sheep is found" So | set open the
wide gate OF my text, inviting you all 10
/ come into the mercy and pardon of God; yea,
I still flrthnF infn fba ~ tha placa
where onco was kept the knowledge Of your
lniqulties.
The place has been torn down and the
records destroyed. and you will tinl the
ruins more dilapidatel and broken and
PROSTATE than the ruins Of Melroso or Kenii-
worth, for from these last ruins you can pick
up some fragment OF a sculpturei stone or
you can see the curve Of some broken arch,
but after your repentance and your forgive
ness you cannot find in all tho memory OF
God fragment OF oil your pardonei sins 50
large as a needles point. Their sins and
their iniquities viii remember no more"
And none Of that will surprise you IL you
will climb to the top OF bluff back of Jeru-
salem lit took us only five or ten minutes to
climb it,, and sec what went on when the
plateau OF limestone was shaken by II par
oxysm that set The rocks which had been
upright aslant and on the trembling cross
pieces Of the split lumber hung the quiverlng
form OF Him whose life was thrust out by
metallic points Of cruelty that sickened the
monday sun till it tainted AMI fell back on
the black lounge OF the Juiean midnight.
Six different kinds OF sounds were heard
on that night which was interj ecte1 into the
daylight Of Christ's assassination. Tho
neighing OF tho war horses-for some of tho
soldiers were in the saddlc-was one sound;
the bang OF the hammers was a second
sound; tho jeer of nalignants was a THRU
sound; tue weeping OF friends ana coIdiu-
tors was fourth sound; the plash OF blood
on the rocks was a fifth sound: the groan OF
the expiring Lord was sixth sound. Anc
they all comminglei into one sadness.
over place III Russia where wolves were
pursuing load OF Travellers and to save
th"m "A servant sprang from the sled into
the mouths Of the wild beasts and was do
voureI, and thereby tao other lives were
Savei are inscribed the words: "Greater
love hath no man than this that a man lay
down his life for his friend P"
Many a surgeon in our own tim1 has in
tracheotomy with his own lips drawn from
the wlnipIpe Of a diptherlc pltieut that
which cured the patient aud slew the sur
geon, and all have honorsd the self 81 rites.
But all other scenes OF sacrifice pale before
this most illustrlous Martyr OF all time and
all eternity. After that agoniZing spectacle
in behalf OF our fallen race nothing about
the n-forSettiny Go is too stupendous for
my faith, and | accept tho promise, and will
you not all acc pt 1t? "rheir sins aud their
IniquitieS will | remember no more"
