iniquity of usall."
Why, then, will a man carry his sins?
You can not carry successfully the
smallest sin you ever committed. You
might as well put the Apennines on one
shoulder and the Alps on the other.
How much less can you carry all the
sins of your lifetime? Christ comes
and looks down in your face and says:
II have come through all the lacera-
tions of these days, and through all the
tempcsts of these nights; have come
to bear your burdens, and to pardon
your sins, and to pay your debts; put
them on my shoulder, put them
on my heart" son him the Lord
has laid the iniquity of us all"
Sin has almost pestered the life
out of some of you. At times it has
made you cross and unreasonable, and
it has spoiled the brightness of your
days and the peace of your nights.
There are men who have been riddled
of sin. The world gives them no So
lace. Gossamery and volatile the world,
while eternity, as they look forward to
it, is black as midnight. They writhe
under the stings of n conscience which
proposes to give no rest here and no
rest hereafter, and yet they do not re-
pent, they do not pray, they do not
weep. They do not realize that just
the position they occupy is the position
occupied by scores, hundreds and thou
sands of men who never found any
hope.
Ii this meeting should be thrown
open and the people who are here cculd
give their testimony, what thrilling ex-
perienccs we should hear ON all sides!
There is man who would say: IL had
brilliant surroundings; l had the best
education that one of the best collcgi-
ate institutions could give, and OBJ
served all the moralitics of life, and /
was self-righteous, and thought was
all right before God as am all right
before man, but the Holy Spirit came
to me one day and said: You are
sinner the Holy Spirit persuaded me
of the fact. While | had escaped the
sins against the law of the
land, l had really committed the
worst sin man ever commits,
the driving back of the Son of
God from my hearts affections, and l
saw that my hands We're red with the
blood of the Son of God, and tegan to
pray, and peace came to my heart, and

child, give you n;iOIc Comfort -tnar. -
worldly associates? Did all the con-
vivial songs you ever heard comfort
you in that day of bereavement as
much as the song they sang to YOU
perhaps the very song that was sung
10y your little child the last Sabbath>
afternoon of her life.
There is a happy land,
Far. far away,
Where saints immortal reign,
Bright, bright as day.
Did your business associates in that
day of darkness and trouble give you
any especial coincidence? business ex-
asperatcd you, business Wore you out,
business left you limp as a rag, bust
ness made you mad. You got dollars,
but you got no peace. God have mercy
on the man who has nothing but bust
ness to comfort him! The world afford
ed you no luxuriant pasturage. A ia
nous English actor stood on the stage
impersonating, and thunders of APP
plause came down from the galleries,
and many thought it was the proudest
moment of all his life; but there
was man asleep just in front of
him, and the fact that the man was
Indifferent and somnolent spoiled all
occasion for him, and he cried: "Walxe
mp, wake up" So one little annoyance
in life has been more pervading to your
mind than all the brilliant congratula-
tions and success. Poor pasturage for
your soul You find in this world. The
world has cheated you, the world has
belied you, the world has misinterpretcd
you, the world has prosecuted you. Oh!
this world is a good rack from which
horse may pick his food; it is good
trough from which the swine may
crunch their mess; but it gives but
little food to soul blood-bOught and
immortal. What is a soul? 1t is hope
high as the throne of God? What is q
man? You say, at is only a man."
1t is only a man gone overheard in
sin. 1t is only a man gone overheard
in business life. What is a man? The
battle-ground of three worlds, with his
hands taking hold of the destinies of
light or darkness. A man! No line can
measure him; no limit can bound him.
The archangel before the throne can
not outlive him. The stars shall die,
but he will watch their extinguish-
ment. The world will burn, but he
will gaze at the confiagration. Endless
ages will march on; he will watch the
procession. A man! The masterpiece
of God Almighty. Yet you say, 1T
is only a man." Can a nature like that
be fed on husks of the wilderness?

said in low voice:
There is some mistake, it is not
usual that Indian dogs should sit ut the
same table with gentlemen"
The captain shrugged his shoulders
and answered mildly:
Perhaps the senior will settle the
question with the English senior on my
left. To me it does not matter; am
only poor sailor and accustomed to
every sort of company.
'Senor Strickland" said Don Jose,
''be SO good as to order your servant to
leave the cabin"
"Senoi she answered, for his temper
was quick, II will see you in hell be-
fore I do So"
"Caramba," said the Mexican. laying
hand upon the knife in his belt, 'you
shall pay for that, Englishman."
"Whea and how You will, senior. l
always pay my debts"
Then the captain broke in in strange

the pistol.
Now the Mexican scowlcd and
Senior Strickland laughed outright, for
it was a curious thing to hear man with

,ss1isng.
Very well, senor, since you have
now sworn secrecy to me by the most
solemn oath that can pass the lips of
man. will speak 10 you openly.
You have heard the story of that
white man, or god, sometimes called
Quetzal by the Indians, and sometimes
Cucumatz, who came to these lands in
the far past and civilized their peoples?
when Quetzal sailed away from his
people he left the stone, that once he
had worn upon his brow, of which this
! is the half, to be a treasure to the
kings who came after him. Also he set
this fate upon it: that while the heart
remained unbroken, for SO long should
the people be one and whole; but if il
came about that 1t was cut or shat
tered, they should be divided with il.
to be no more one people until again
the fragments were one stone.
Now, when these king brethren
quarrelled and parted, they sawed the
token asunder, as you see.
"At length it came into the hands Of
the great Guatemoc, last of the Aztec
/
hung him, found means to send 1t to
his son, from whom it has come down
to me.
Now of this stone, through all the
ages it has never been lost, and it Is
known in the land from end to end; he
who wears it for his life being called
Keeper of the Heart and also Hope of
those who watt since it may happen
| in his day that the two halves may
come together again."
"And what If they do?'
"Then, SO says the legend, the In
dians will once more be a mighty nation,
and drive those who oppose them into
the sea as the wind drives dust"
Now the senior rose from his chair
and walked up and down the room.
do you believe all this?" he asked
suddenly.
YES" l answered, ''or the greater
part of it. Indeed, IL what hear is
true, the lost half of the talisman that

"Where has this man come from?"
he asked eagerly.

swered, but think that he has come
from the sacred city of the Indians, the
hidden golden city which the Spaniards
sought for but could not find, though
it still exists among the mountains and
deserts of the far interior"
