The Meaning of the Message.
That was the lament Of the world s COM
ed;n ana joker All unhappy. The world
did cyery thing for Lord Byron tlHt it
could do, and yet in his last moment ho
asked a friend to come and sit down by
him ard ics.d, as most appropriate to his
case, tie story Of "The Bleeding Heart. :"
Iorrigiano, the sculptor, executed, after
months Of care and carving, Madonna
and the Child" The royal family came
in and admired it. 4, ely body that looked
Mt it IVES IN ecstasy, but one day, after all
that toll and all that admiration, because
he did not get as much compensation for
his work as he had expected, be took u
niallet and dashed the exquisite sculpture
into atoms. The world is poor compensa-
ton poor satisfaction, poor solace. Fam
inc, famine in all the earth; not for
years but for 5000.
But, blessed be God, there is a great
corncrib The Lord built it. 1t is in an
other land. 1t is large place. An angel
once measured it, and as far as can cal
culate it in one phrase, that cornclib is
1900 miles long and 1900 miles broad
and / 800 high, and it is full Food for
all nations "Oh," say tho people, 1--WE
will start right away and get this supply
for our soul But stop Il moment, for
from the Keeper of that corncrib there
comes this word, saying you shall not
see my face except your brother be with
you" In other words, there is no such
thing as getting from heaven pardon and
comfort and eternal life unless We bring
with us our divine Brother, the Lord Je'
sus Christ Coming without him we shall
fall before we reach the corncrib and our
bodies shall be portion for the jaclSals Of
the wilderness but coming with the d.
vine Jesus, all the granaries Of heaven
will swing open before our soul and dbun-
dance shall be given us. We shall be in
vited to sit in the palace Of the King and
at the table, and while the Lord of heaven
is appOrtioning from his own table to 9TH
CT tables, lie will not forget us, ard then
and there it will be found that our Benja-
minis mess is larger thnn all the others
for so it ought TO te WORTHY is the Lamb
that was slain to receive blessing and
riches and Lonor and glory ard power.
| want to make three points Every
frank and common sense man will nc
knowledge himself to be sinner. What
are you going to do with your sins9 Have
them pardoned you say. Howl Through
the mercy of God What do you mean by
the mercy Of Gody Is it the letting down
OF a lar for the admission Of ALL without
respect to character? Be not deceived.
see "a soul coming up to the gate of mercy
and knocking 1T tic eorncIib of heavenly
supply, ard IL aice from within says, Are
you alone" The sinner replies, "All
alone The voice from within says 80 OH
shall not see my hardening face unless
your divine Brother, the Lord Jesus, be
with you
Oh, that is the point at which so many
are discounted There is 10 mercy from
God except through Jesus Christ Coming
with Kim, we aIe accepted Coming With
out him, We are rejected. Peter put 1t
right in his great sermon before the high
priests when lie murdered forth: "Nei
Their is there s.ltation in any other There
is no OtLer name given under heaven
among men thereby We may lie saved.
Oh, anxious sinlcrl On, dying sinneFl
Oh, lost sihnorl All you have got to do Is
to have this divine Benjamin along with
you. Side by side, coming to the gate, all
the storehouses Of heaven will swing open
before your anxious soul.
Am l right in calling Jesus Benjamin?
Oh, yes Rae hel lived only long enough
to give name to that child and with
dying kiss slo called him Lenoni After
ward Jacob changed lis name, and he call
Cd him benjamin. The meaning Of the
name she gave was son of lny Pain. y
The meaning of the name tho futher gave
was, son OF ny Right Hand, " And was
not Christ the Son of Pain?" All the sor- F..
row of Rachel in that hour when she gave
her child over into the hands of strangers
was as nothing compared with the struggle
Of God when he gave up his only Son. And
was not Christ appropriately called "SOn
Of the Right Hand?" Did not stephen
look into heaven and see him standing at
The right hand of God? And docs not Paul
speak of him as standing Mt the right hand
Of Gcd making intercession for US? Oh,
Beniamin-,Jesusl Son Of Pangl Son pI
Victory The deepest emotions Of our souls
ought to be stirred at the sound of that
nomenclature. In your prayers plead his
tears, his sufferings, his sorrows, and his
death. If you refuse to do it, all the corn /
cribs and the palaces Of heaven will be
bolted and barred against your soul and
Il voice from the throne shall stun you
with the announcements "YOu shall not
sec my face except your brother be with
you.
