'T Came From Calvary"
Some one comes here today and
stand aside. He comes up three steps.
He comes to this place. must stand
aside. Taking that place he spreads
abroad his hands, and they were nailed.
You see his feet; they were bruised. He

the worlds VICE." I say, Whence
CONTEST thou?" He says, 81 came from
Calvary" I say, "Who comes with
thee?" He says. "No one; have trod
den the winepress alone. say, "Why
CONTEST thou here?" "Oh," he says,
II came here to carry all the sins and
sorrows of the peoplel" And he kneels.
He says, Put on my shoulders all the
sorrows and all the SINS" And, con-
scious of my own sins first, take them
and put them on the shoulders of the
Son of God. I say, "Canst thou bear
any more, o Christi" He says, eyes,
more" And gather up the sins Of all
those who serve at these affairs, the Off
GERS of the church of Jesus Christi

ON Christ's shoulders, and say, "Canst
thou bear any more?" He says, Eyes,
more" Then I gather up all the sins Of
hundred people in this house and
put them ON the shoulders of Christ, and
say. "Canst thou bear more?" He
says, "Yea, more" And gather up
all the sins of this assembly and put
them on the shoulders of the Son of
God, and I say, "Canst thou bear
them?" YEA" he says, "more." But
he is departing. Clear the way for him,
the Son of God. Open the door and let
him pass out. He is carrying our sins
and bearing them away. We shall never
see them again. He throws them down
into the abysm, and you hear the long
reverberating echo of their fall. son

charge Of them myself, will fight my
