has Himself gone through all the expos

courageous. He has been through u
all and now offers His sympathy In SIM
iIar struggle. One OF the Kings OF Eng
land one night in disguise walking the
streets of London, and not giving &C
count of himself, was arrested ana put
in q miserable prison. When released
and getting back to the palace, he or
dered thirty tons of coal, and large
supply Of food for the night prisoners
of London. Out of MS own experiences
that night he did this. And our Lord
the king aforetime endungeoned, and
sick, and hungry, ami prosecuted ana
slain, out Of His own experiences IS
ready to help all, and pardon all, ana
comfort all, and rescue all.
OH! JOIN HIM IN TIE PLAIN.
As long as you stay up in the noun
tain of your pride you will get no help.
That Is the reason so many never una
the salvation OF the Gospel. They SIT
high I'D in the Mont Blanc of their opin-
ionatIyeness, and they have their opin-
ion about God, and their opinion about
the soul, and their opinion about etern-
ity. Have you any idea that your opin-
ion will have any effect upon the two
tremendous facts, that you are sinner,
and that Christ is ready at your earnest
PRAYER to save you? In the final day OF
accounts how much will your opinion
be worth? Your opinion will not be OF
much importance before the blast OF the
ArchangePs trumpet. When the life OF
this planet shall be threshed out with
the fail of thunderbolts nobody will ask
about your opinions. Come down out OF
the mountain of opinionativeness, and
meet Christ on the plain, where you must
meet him or never meet him at all, ex-
cept as you meet him on the Judgment
ment Throne.
A Christ easy to get at! No armed
sentinel to challenge you. No ruthless
officer to scrutinize the paper you pre-
sert. Immediateresponse. Immediate
forgiveness. Immediate solace. Through
what struggle people must go to get a
pardon from worldly authority! BY
what petition, by what hindrance, by
what nervous strain OF anxiety, by what
adroitness. A Count Of Italy was con-
demned TO be put to death at Milan.
The Countess. hearing Of the sentence,
fastened to Vienna to seek his pardon.
THE DEATH WARRANT
was already on its way. The Countess,
arriving in Vienna in the night,
fastened to the palace gates. The at
tendants forbade her entrance at all,
and especially at night, but she over
come them with her entreaties, and the
Empress was Weakened and the Countess
pleaded before her for the life Of her
husband, and then the Emperor was
Weakened to hear the same plea.
Communication of sentence was granted,
but how could she overtake the officer
who had started with the death-war-
rant, and would she be too late TO save
the life of her husband? By four relays
of horses, and stopping not a moment
for food she reached the city of Milan
as her husband was on the way to the
scaifold. just in time to save him, and
not minute to spare, she came up.
You see there were two difficulties in
the way. The one was to get the par
don signed, aud the other to bring it to
the right place in time. Glory be to
God, we need go through no such ext
gency. No long road to travel. No
pitiless beating at palace gate. Par
don here. Pardon now. Pardon for
the asking. Pardon forever. A Savior
easy to get at. A Christ on the plain!
