wolf howled with pain, and the CRY
woke up a pack of wolves and thew
came ravening out of the forest from
all sides and horribly devoured him
Thou art the man Some one sin ot
your life summoning on all the rest
they surround thy soul and make the
night of thy sin terrible with the
assault of their bloody muzzles Oh
the unpardoned, clamoring, ravening
all devouring sins of thy lifetimel
A maniac was found pacing along
the road with a torch in one hand
and pail of water in the other, and
some one asked him what he meant
to do with them. He answered
With this torch | mean to burn
down heaven, and with this water |
mean to put out the fires of hell. "
He was maniac. He could do the
one thing just as well as he could do
the other. No time to lose if Won
want to escape your sins, for This
year thou shalt die"
Let me announce that Christ the
Lord, stands ready to save any man
who wants to be saved He waited
for you all last year, and all the wear
before, and all your life. He has
waited for you with blood on his
brow, and tears in his eye, and two
Outstretched, mangled hands of love.
You come home some night and
find the mark of muddy feet on YOUR
front steps You hasten in, and find
an excited group around your child.
He fell into pond and had it not
been for a brave lad, who plunged in
and brought him out and carried him
home to be resuscitated, you would
have been childless. You feel that
you cannot do enough for the rescuer.
You throw your arms around him.
You offer him any compensation.
You say to him Anything that you

cease to be grateful, " But my dear
Lord Jesus sees your soul sinking and
attempts to bring it ashore AM you

on the beach and say Drop that
soul! If | want it saved | will save
it myself"
| wish you might know what a job
Jesus undertook when he carried
your case to Calvary They crowded
him to the wall They struck him.
They spat on him. They kicked him.
They cuffed him. They scoffed at
him. They scourged him. They
murdered him Blood Blood AS
he stoops down to lift you up the
crimson drops upon you from his
brow, from his side, from his hands. !
Do you not feel the warm current on
your face3 Oh, for thee the hunger,
the thirst, the thorn sting, the suffo-
cation, the darkness, the groan, the
sweat, the struggle, the DEATH
A great plague came in Marseilles.
The doctors held consultation, and |
decided that a corpse must be dissect-

stop the plague. A Dr. Guyon said.

to a dissection" He made his will
for death, went into the
hospital, dissected body, wrote out
the results of the dissection and died
