for our present and everlasting safety is
TO make surrender to Christ, the king and
conqueror-surrender of our hearts sur
render of our lives, surrender OF every
thing. And He keeps a great light burn

The Judgment Hall.
In the time Of Edward VI, at the bat
tie of Musselburiy, a private soldier, see
ing that the earl of Huntley had lost his
helmet. took off his own helmet and put
it upon the head of the earl, and the
head of the private soldier uncovered. he
was soon slain, while his commander
rode safely out of the battle. But in our
case, instead of a private soldier offer
ing helmet to an earl, it is a king put
ting a crown upon an unworthy subject,
the king dying that we might live. Tell
it TO ali points of the compass. Tell it
to nigh, and day. Tell it TO all earth
and heaven. Tell it to all centuries, all
ages, all millenniums, that we have such
a magnificent chance in this world that
we reed no other chance in the next.

earth had feeblest intellect to one who
had great brain, and silvery tongue, and

! lows. 1 mastered libraries and had
! learned titles from colleges, and my
name was a synonym for eloquence and
power. And yet l neglected my soul,
| and l am here waiting for a new trial"
/ Strange" says the one of the feeble
/ earthly capacity. 81 knew but little of
worldly knowledge, but 1 knew Christ

/ no need of another chance"
Closing the hook.
Now the ground trembles with the APP
preaching chariot. The great folding
