We hear a great deal of talk now about
faith cure, and some people say II cannot
be done and it is a failure. ] do not know
/ but that the chief advance of the church
/ is to be in that direction Marvellous
/ things come TO me day by day which
make me think that if the age Of miracles
is past, it is because the faith of miracles
is past
A prominent merchant of New York
said TO a member of my family: My
mother wants her case mentioned to Mr.
! Talmdge'
! This was the case, he said "My
mother had a dreadful abscess, from
which she had suffered untold agonies,
and all surgery had been exhausted upon
her, and wOr- and worse she grew until
we called III a few Christian friends and
proceeded to pray about it. We COM
mended her case TO God, and the abscess
began Immediately to be cured. She is
entirely well now, and without knife and
without any surgery" So that case has
come 10 ME, and there are a score ofother
cases coming TO our ears from all parts of
the earth Oh We, who are sick, go TO
Christ! Oh, We who are worn out with
agonies of body, Cast thy burden upon
the Lord and he shall sustain thee!'
Another burden some have to carry is
the burden of bereavement. An! these
are the troubles that wear US out. If we
lose our property, by additional industry
perhaps we may bring back the estranged
fortune; if we lose our good name, per-
haps by reformation of morals we may
achieve again reputation of integrity;
but who will bring back the dear de-
parted!
Alas, me for these empty cradles and
these trunks of childish toys that will
never be used again Alas, me! for the
empty chair and the silence in the halls
that will never echo again 10 those famil-
lar footsteps. Alas! for the cry of wild
owhOod and orpnanage. What bitter
Marahs in the wilderness, what cities of
the dead, what long black shadow from
the wing of death, what eyes sunken with
grief what hands trembling with be-
reavement, what instruments of music
shut now because there are no fingers to
play on them, Is there no relief Tor such
soulsl Ay, let that soul ride into the
harbor of my text.
The soul that on Jesus hath leaned for repose,
VIII not, Will not desert TO its foes
That soul. though all he'll shall endeavor to
shake,
III never. no never, no never forsake.
Now, the grave is brighter than the an
cient tomb where the lights were perpet-
uallY kept burning. The SCARED feet of
him who was 1.-THE resurrection and the
life are on the broken grave hillock,
while the voices of angels ring down the
sky at the coronation of another soul
come home 10 glory.
Then there are many who carry the
rpf1g Of in A h al .
in the appointed way that burden is
lifted. " need no Bible to prove that
the whole race is ruined. What a spec
taCle 1t would be If we could tear OFF the
mask of human deflemeut, or beat a
drum that would bring up the whole
army of the worlds transgressions-th
deception. the fraud and the rapine and
the murder and the crime of all centuries!
Ay, il | could sound the trumpet of re-
surrection in the soul of the best men in
this audience, and all the dead sins of
the past should come up, we could not
endure the sight Sin, grim and dire,
has put its clutch upon the immortal
soul. and that clutch will never relax I'M
less it be under the heel of him who
came to destroy the works of the
devil b..
Oh, to have mountain of sin on the
SOUL Is there no way to have the bur
den movedl Oh, yes. Cast thy burden
upon the Lord. - The sinless one came to
take the consequences of our sin! And
know he is in earnest. How do | know
it, BY the streaming temples and the
streaming hands as he says, Come unto
to me all We who are weary and heavy
laden and ! will give you rest"
Why will proIigals live on swines'
husks when the robe and the ring and
the fathers welcome are ready? Why
go wandering over the great Sahara de-
sert Of your sin when you are invited to
