ABSOLUTELY PURE

search when the soldiers did, but had
kent on still further into the night and
had found it, and ne pulled down the
blankets from his couch and there
Law the lamb, which Garloaldl
ordered Immediately taken to It's own
err. So the Commander OF all the HOSTS
OF Heaven turned aside from his elori-
Gus and victorious march through the
centuries of heaven, and said: 81 will
90 and recover that lost world, and that
race of whom Adam was the progenl-
tor, and let all who will accompany
me-" And through the night they
came, but I do not see that the angelic
escort came any further than the clouds,
but their most illustrlous leader came
all the way down, and by the time his
errand is done our little world, our wan
dering and lost world, our world tieecy
with the light, will be found in the
bosom OF the Great Shepherd, and, then,
all heaven will take up the cantata and
sing, THE lost sheep found"
so SET OPEN
the wide gate of my text, inviting you
all to come into the mercy and pardon
of God; yea, still further, into the ruins
of the place where once was kept the
knowledge of your iniQuities. The
place has been torn down and the rec
ords destroyed, and you will ind the
ruins more dilapidated and broken and
PROSTATE than the ruins Of Melrose or
Kenilworth, for from these last ruins
you can pick up some fragment OF
sculptured stone, or you can see the
curve of some broken arch, but after
your repentance and your forgiveness,
you cannot find in all the memory
of God a fragment OF all your par
doned sins so large as a needless
point. Their sins and their iniQuities
will remember no more" And none
Of that will surprise you II you will
climb to the top of bluff back Of Jeru-
salem Qt took us only five or ten min
utes TO climb it,, and see what went on
when the plateau Of limestone was
shaken by paroxysm that set the rocks,
which had been upright, aslant, and on
the trembling crosspeces OF the split
lumo hung the quivering form OF him
whose life was thrust out by metallic
points Of cruelty that sickened the
MONDAY sun till it tainted and fell back
on the black lounge Of the Judean mid
night.
SIX DIFFERENT KINDS
OF sounds were heard on that night
which was interjected into the daylight
Of Christ's assassination; the neighing
of the warehouses, for some OF the
soldiers were in the saddle, was one
sound; the bang Of the hammers was
a second sound; the ieer OF malignantS
was the third sound; the weeping OF
friends and coadjutors was fourth
sound; the plash of blood on the rocks
was fifth sound; the grosn Of the ex-
pirng Lord was sixth sound. And
they all commingled into one sadness.
Over a place in Russia where wolves
were pursuing load Of travellers, and
TO save them q servant sprang from the
sled into the mouths OF the wild beasts,
and was deVoured, and thereby
the other lives were saved, are inscribed
the words, Greater love hath no man
than this. that man lay down his life
for his friend" Many a surgeon in our
own time has in trachetomy with his
own lips drawn from the windpipe OF a
diptheric patient that which cured the
patient and slew the surgeon, and all
have honored the self-sacrtice. But all
other scenes of sacrifice pale before
this most illustrious martyr of all time
and all eternity. After that agonizing
spectacle in behalf OF our fallen race
nothing about the sn.forgetting God
is too stupendous for my faith, and l ac-
cept the promise, and will you not ac-
cept it? Their sins and their iniQui-
ties will l remember no more"
