Love wrapped 1, the grave Yo, car
not mistake IL The blindest eve must
see It. The hardest heart must feel IL
The deafcst ear must hear IT. Parable
ana miracle, wayside talk and seaside
interview, all the scenes of his life. all
the sufferings of his death, proving be-
yound controversy that for our ingrato
earth God has yearncd with stupendous
and inextinguishable love.
But l remark again: lit behooved
Christ To suffer" that the nature of
human guilt might be demonstrated
There Is not "A common-scnse man i'm
the house to-day that will not admit
that the machinery of society is out OF
gear, that the human mind and the
human heart are disorganized, that
something ought to be done and done
rlght away for its repair and adjust
ment. But tho height, and depth, and
length, and breadth, and hate, and
rccklessness, and internal energy OF the
human heart for sin would not have
been demonstrated IL against the holy
and Innocent One of tho Cross il
had not been hurled in one bolt OF fro.
Christ was not the first man that had
been put To death. There had been
many before him put to death: but they
had their whims, their follics, their
sins, their Inconsistencies. But when
the mob outside of Jerusalem howled
ut tho Son of God, Il was
hate against goodness, it was
blaspemy against virtue. it was
/ L. a.
that inn ocent and loving face OF Christ
that excited the vituperation and the
contumcly and scorn OF men? IL Ho
had bantercd them TO come on, IL He
had laughed them into derision, IL He
had denounced them rs the vagabonds
that they were, we could understand
their fcrocity; but 1t was against inoi-
fensivcncSS that they brandishcd their
spears, and SHOOK their fists, aud ground
their teeth, and, howlcd, and scofred,
and jeerrd, and Knocked. What OWL had
He done" Whose cyesight had lie put
out? None; but lie had given vision To
the blind. Whose child had lie slain?
None; but He restored the dead damsel
to her mother. What law had HE
broken: None; but He had inculcated
obedience To government What foul
plot had He enacted against the happi-
ness Of the race? None; lie had come
to save world. The only cruelty He
ever enacted was TO heal the sick. The
only oatcntation He ever displayed was
10 sit with puhlicans and sinners, and
wash the disciples feet
The only sclfishness He ever exhibit
ed was TO give His life for his enemies
And yet, all the wrath OF the world
surgcd against His holy heart Hear
the red-hot scorn OF the world kissing
in the pools of Saviour's blood And
standing there to-day, let ms sea what
an unreasonable, loathsome, hateful.
blasting, damning thing is the iniquity
of the human hoart
UnlOosed, what will not sin do? 1t
will scale any height it will fathon tho
very depths Of holl, it will revcl lin an
lasciviousncss. There is no blasphomy
il will not utter, there Is no oruolties
on which it will not gorge itself II
will wallow in filth, IL will breathe the
air OF charnel-houses OF corruption and
call them aroma; it will quaif the blood
of immortal souls and call il nectar.
