and the old sexton said. "Sir, you
know that of such iB the kingdom of
heaven, and I think the Saviour is
pleased when he sees so much white
clover growing around these little
graves"
But when the minister pressed the
old sexton for more satisfactory an.
swer the old sexton said, Sir, about
these larger graves, don't know who
are the Lords saints and who are not,
but you know sir, it is clean different
with the bairns." Oh, it you have
had that keen, tender, indescribable
sorrow that comes from the loss OF .
child, do not give up. The old sexton
was right. 1t is all well with the
BARNS. Or. if you have sinned, if
you have sinned greviously-slnned
until you have been cast out by the
churc1, sinned until you have been
cast ou. by society-do not give up.
Perhaps there may be in this house
one tnat could truthfully utter the
lamentation of another:
Once was pure as the snow, but fell
Fell like snowflake, from heaven to hell
Fell to be trampled as filth in the street
Fell to be scoffed at, spit on and beat,
Praying cursing, wishing to die,
Selling my soul to whoever would buy,
Dealing in shame for morsel of bread.
Hating the living and fearing the dead.
Do not give up. One like unto the
Son of God comes to you today, say
ing, $50 and sin no mote," while he
cries out to your assailaats, Let him
that is without sin case the first stone
at her." Oh, there is no reason why
any one in this house by reason CT
any trouble or sin should give up.
Are you foreigner and in strange
land? Nehemiah was an exile. Are
you penniless9 Nehemiah was poor.
Are you homesicki Nehemiah was
homesick. Are you broken hearted
Nehemiah was broken hearted. But
Just sea him in the text, riding along
the sacrileged grave Of his father and
by the dragon we'll and through the
fish gate and by the kings pool, in
and out, in and out, the moonlight
falling on the broken masonry, which
throws a long shadow, at which the
horse SHES, and at the same time that
moonlight kindling up the features
of this man till you sse not only the
mark of sad Renaissance, but the
courage and hope, the enthusiasm OF
a man who knows that Jerusalem will
be rebuilded. pick you up today,
out Of your sins and out of your sor,
row. and I put you against the warm
heart of Christ. 'The eternal Goo is
thy refuge, and underneath gre the
