very darh day when the sun was eciip,ed.

AMI We teit Il COON as We looked at the as
tronpntical wonder. 1t was q dark day i'll

and the dead with uncovered faces were
taken III open carts and dumped III the
trenches- 1t was a dark day when the earth

when the carnage of Calvary was enacted.
Ii was about noon when the curtain be-
gan 10 be drawn. IL was not the coming on
Of a night that soothes and refreshes; it was
the swinging OF a great gloom all around
the heavens. God hung it. AS when there
Is a deai one in the house you bow the shut
tiers on turn thu lattice, SO God in the after
noon shut the windows OF the world. AS it
Is appropriate to throw a black pail upon
the coffin as 1t passes along. So it was appro-
pirate that everything should be somber
that day as the great hearse OF the earth
rolled on. bearing the corpe of the Kins.
The waves of q mans hatred and OF heIl's
vengeance dash up against the maugledf feet,
ami the hands OF sin aud pain and torture
Clutch Tor His holy heart. Had He not been
thoroughly fastened to the cross they woujl
hkNe torn Him Gown and tramDled Him with
both feet. How the cavalry horses arched
tlelr necks and chanped their bits, ana
reared and snuffed at the blood! Had a
Roman officer called out for Il light his
voice woul not have been heard in the tn
mutt; but louder than the clash Of spears,
ard the waiilng % ~womanhood. and the
neighing of the chargers, and the believing
OF the cruciiIers there came a voice crashing
