You say EFF this young man was twenty

put Christ forth and make Him come out

succeeded IN IT, With one stroke lie would
have toppled over angelic and arohangello
dominion.
But there was one thing that the omnl-
potent Christ could not stand. Our sorrows
mastered Him. Ho could not bear 10 see the
world die without an offer Of pardon and
help, and II all heaven had armed itself 10
keep Him back N the gates Of life had been
bolted and double barred, Christ would have
flung the everlasting doors from their
hinges, and would have sprung FORTH scat
lering the hindenng hosts of heaven like
chan before the whlrlwlnd as He cried.
'Lol I come to suffer To! / come 20 die"
Christ--a willing sacrifice. willing TO take
Bethlehem humiliation, and Sanhedrn out
rage, and whipping post maltreament, and
goleotha butesery. willing 10 be bound.
Willing 10 suffer Willing TO die. Willing TO
save.
How does this affect you? Do not your

have been told that the cathedral OF st.
Mark stands in q quarter in the center OF the
| city Of Venice. and that when the clock
strikes - at noon all the birds from the city
/ and the regions round about the city fly to

| wise: Alarge hearted woman, passing one
/ MONDAY across the square, saw some birds
/ shiyering in the cold, and she scattered some
/ crumbs OF bread among them. Thenext day,
1 ut the same hour, she scattered more crumbs
| OF bread among them, and so on from year
| to year until the day OF her death. In her
! will she bequeathed a certain amount OF
money to keep up the same practice, and
now, at the first stroke OF the bell at noon
/ the birds begin to come there, and when the
/ clock has struck - the square is covered
with them. How beautifully suggestive
Christ comes out to feed thy soul to-day
Tho more hungry you feel yourselves 10 be
the better 1t is. II is noon, and the gospel
clock strikes -. Come in fiocks! Com,
as doves to the window! All the air is filled

/ Come!
