quakes and recoils and groans at the
horror
| All good men have for centuries been
trying to tell whom this Substitute was
like, and every comparison, inspired
and unihspired, evangelistic, prophet
! IL. apostolic and human, falls short,
for Christ was the Great Unlike. Adam
n type of Christ, because he came di-
rectly from God; Noah a type of Christ,
/ because he delivered his own family
/ from the deluge; Melchisedec a type
OF Christ, because he had no predec s.
sor or successor; Joseph a type of
Christ. because he was cast out by his
brethren; Moses "A type of Christ, be-
cause he was deliverer from bond
age; Samson n type Of Christ, be-
cause of his strength To slay the lions
and carry off the iron gates of impos-
! sibility; solomon n type of Christ, in
| the ai1lucncc of his dominion: Jonah a
| type of Christ, because of the stormy
sea in which he threw himself for the
rescue of others; but put together Ad-
am and Noah and Melchisedec
and Joseph and Moses and Josh
va and Samson and solomon
and Jonah, and they would not
make fragment of Christ, a quar-
/ ter of Christ, the half of Christ, or
! the millioneth part of a Christ lie
| forsook throne and sat down on his
own footstool. He came from the top
of glory To the bottom of humiliation,
and changed n circum 'erence seraphic
| for n circum ference diabolic. Once
waited on by angels, now Kissed at by
brigands From afar and high up
| He came down; past metcors
swifter than they; by starry
| thrones. Himself more lustrous;
past larger worlds to smaller
worlds; downstairs of armament IS
and through tree tops and into the
camels stall, To thrust his shoulder I'M
der our burdens and take the lances OF
pain through His vitals, and wrapped
! Himself in all the agonies which we
deserve for our misdoings and stood
on the splitting decks of laundering
vessel, amid the drcnching surf of the
sea, and passed midnights on the
mountains amid wild beasts of prey,
and stood at the point where all earth
lv and Internal hostilities charged on
| Him at once with their keen sabers-
our Substitute.
When did attorney ever endure so
much for pauper client, or physician
| for the patien- in the lazarctto, or
mother for the child in membranous
Group, as Christ for US, as Christ for
| you, as Christ for me? Shall any man
or woman or child in this audien &c
who has ever suffered for another find
| it hard understand this Christly suf-
| fcriug for us? Shall those whose sympa-
thies have been wrung in behalf of the
unfortunate have no appreciation OF
| that one moment which was lifted out
of all the ages of eternity as most
conspicuous, when Christ gathered up
| all the sins of those to be redeemed
under his one arm, and all his sorrows
under his other arm. and said: Il will
atone for these under my right arm,
and will heal all thos, under my left
arm. Strike me with all thy glittering
shafts, q Eternal Justice, Roll
over me with all Thy surgeS
We oceans of sorrow?' AID
the thuuderbolts struc< him from
above, and the seas OF trouble rolled
up from beneath, hurricane after hur-
ricane, and cyclone after cyclone, and
then and there in the presence of IIeav-
en- and earth and he'll, yea, all worlds
witnessing, the price, the bitter price,
the transcendent price, the awful
price, the glorious price, the infinite
price, the eternal price, was paid that
sets us free.
