and Mary and Lazarus. and drew the
practical lessons Of his sermon from with
I'm the doors of that home. That was a
happy household, said he, because the
love of Jesus was there. He spoke OF
the gladness with which the Man, nay
more than a man and even a God, VINO
had not where to lay His head, was WEI
coined there. The speaker dwelt parucu-
larIy upon the love which Mary bore her
Saviour and defended Martha from the
unjust criticism which says she was OF a
complaining nature. He declared that the
