y
lerer has come. and while he was washing
the blood OF his victim from his hands,
looked into tho face OF God aud cried Tor
mercy, and his soul has been wlite In Gods
pardouing love. And the soul that has
wandered Off In the streets aud down 10 the
very gates OF hell has come back to her
Fathers house. throwing her arms around
his meek, and been saved by the mercy that
saved Mary Magialen.
But, SAYS some on~. yuH arcthrOwing open
that door Of mercy too vile. No. will
throw 1t open wider. | will take the re-
sponsibility of saving that II all this audi
ence, instead OF being gathered in u srmi-
circle, were placed side by side, in one long
line. they could all march right through that
wide open gate Of mercy. "Whoscover.'
''whuscoytr.' Oh. - ,- mercy ofGOd-there
Is 40 line long enoug, 10 fathpm it there is
NJ ladder long enough to scale IL there Is
no arithmetic fucile enough 10 calculate 1t
no angels wing can fly across II.
Heavenly harpors aided 10y choirs with
feet like the sun, cannot compass that
harmony Of mercy, mercy. II sounds IN the
rumhlinS Of the celestial gate. hear 1t in
the Ginning Of the celestial towers. see II
flashing IN tn" upliited and downcast
roronctS OF the saved. | hear It in tho
laundering tread OF the hammered hosts
around nhuut the throne. aud then 1t comes
from the harps and crowns and thrones and
proncssiors to -it down, un"Npr"-sed, on
thron" overtopplng all heayen-the throne
OF mercy.
How was affected when some ono told me
IN regard to that urrtd,nt on Long Island
sound, when on poor woman came and got
her hand Uu a raft ~ she tried to save her
s-li, but those who were on the raft thought
there Was no room iOr her, and one man
came and most cruelty beat and bruised her
hands until she fell Of. Oh, | bless God that
this liicnoat Of the gospel has room enough
for the sixteen hundred millions Of the race
room for one, room for all and yet there
is room!
push this analysis OF the publican's
.rayora step further and find that he did
not expect any mercy except by pleading for
It. He did not told his hands together as
-uN,e do. ~Iyinr III I'm to he saved, III
nr saved II I'm to be lost. I'll be lost, and
IN r. j. nothing for me To do He knew
what was worth having was worth asking
ior; hence this earnest rty OF the text, 'Got
Nc meloliul ~ ne, u siuner.'
II wns an earnest prayer. and il Is charaA
teristic OF all Hhl" prayers that they we're
answer"d-the blind man. "Lord. that NAV
