Oh, how many cups of life have I

Important Testimony.
The third witness | call in the case is
an angel of God. Bright and shining
one, what doest thou here? What hast
thou to say against this man on trial?
"Oh," says the angel, 81 have been a
messenger to him. 1 have guarded him.
l have watched him. With this wing I
have defended him, and oftentimes,
when he knew it not, I led him into
green pastures and beside the still wa

with this voice I wooed him, I have to
announce his multiplied imperfections.

then L should not dare to appear again
amongst the sinless ones before the

There is only one more witness to be
called on behalf of the prosecution, and
that is the great, the holy, the august,
the omnipotent Spirit of God. We bow

sometimes he did seem to repent, he fell
back again as often from his first estate.
Ten thousand times 10, 600 has he
grieved me, although the Bible warned
him, saying: 'Grieve not the Holy
Ghost. Quench not the Spirit. Yes, he
has driven me back. Though 1 am the
third person of the Trinity he has tram
pied on my mission, and the blood of
the atonement that l brought with
which to cleanse his soul he sometimes
despised. I came from the throne of
God to convert and comfort and sancti-
fly, and yet look at that man and see
what he is compared with what, unre-
sisted, 1 would have made him."
The evidence on the part of the prose-
cution has closed. Now let the defense
bring on the rebuttal testimony. What
have you, o Christian soul, to bring in
reply to this evidence of the world, of
the conscience, of the angel and of the
Holy Ghost? No evidence? Are all these
things true? "Yes. Unclean, unclean,"
says every Christian soul. What? Do
you not begin to tremble at the thought
of condemnation?
