sympathy! Christian sympathy, How many F..
such men a. that would Il take Ia warm the /
cold world upi Famine in Zarepthath.
Everything dried NJ. There is a widow with I
a son and no food except a handful Of meal. |
She is gathering sticks to kindle fire to
cook the handful Of meal Then she
is going 10 wrap her arms around
her boy and die. Here comes
Elijah. Ills two black seNau.s. the IA
vens, have got tired waiting on him. lie
asks that woman for food. Now that hand
! ful Of meal is to be divided into three parts.
Before il was to be divided into two parts.
/ Now she saws 10 Elijah, "COme In and sit
| down at this solemn table and take a third
OF the last morsel." How many women
| like that would it take 70 warm the cold
/ world upt
! II was his strong sympathy that brought
. Christ from a warm htaNpn a cold world.
/ The land where he dwelt had serene sky,
7 halsamie atmosphere, tropical luXuriauce
. no storm blasts in heaven; no chill foun-
7 tains. On a cold December night Christ
/ stepped out OF heaven into the worlds lrig
/ idity. The thermometer in Palestine never
. drops below zero, but December is a cheer
/ less month, and the pasturage is very poor
on the hilltops. Christ stepped out of
/ Il warm heaven into the cold world
/ that cold December night. The worlds
reception was cold. The surf ot
4 bestOrmed Galilee was cold, Joseph
/ scpulcher was cold. Christ came, the great
warmer, TO warm the earth and all Chrstrn-
dom today feels the glow. He will keep on
warming the earth until the trJpic will drive
away the arctic ana the antartic. He gave
an imitation Of what he was going to do
when he broke up the funeral NJ the gate Of
Main and turned it into a reunion festival,
. and when, with his warm lips, he melted the
Galilean hurricane and stood on the deck
. and stamped his foot, crying, "Silence!"
and the waves crouchcd, aud the tcmpcsts
folded their wings.
Oh, IL was this Christ who warmed the
chilled disciples when they had no food hy
giving them plenty 10 eat and who IN the
tomb of Lazarus shattered the shackles IN
til the broken links OF the chain OF death
ratified into the darkest crypt Of the muuso-
lcum. In his genial prasen'" the girl who
had fallen into the fire the water IS
healed OF the catalepsy, Il. The withered
arm takes muscular, healthy action,
and the ear that could not hear an ava
lanche catches a leafs rustic. aud the
tongue that could not articulate triil- a
Iuatrain, and the blind eye was reiluuinrd,
and Christ, instead OF staying three days
and three nights IN tn sepulrhrc, as was sup
posed. rs soon rs the worldly curtain Of bl,-
seryatun was dropped began the eNplura-
ton of all the underground passages of
aarth and sea, wherever Christian gray"
may after awhile be, and started a light ct
Christian hope, resurrection hope, which
shall not 20 out until the last ccrrment is
aiken of and the last mausJleum breaks
open.
