kill a tree, but Jesus smites one dead
with a word
Chemistry can do many wonderful
things, but what chemist, at a yedding
when the refreshment gave ont. could
change pail of water into a cnslx of
wine?
What human voice could command n
school of FISH? Yet here is voice tina,
marshals the scaly tribes, until i'm the
place where they had let down the net
and pulled IL up with no fish in il.
they let II down again. and the disciples
lay hold and begin TO pull. when. by
reason OF the multitude of fish. the net
broke.
Nature is His servant. The flowers
He twisted them into His sermons; the
winds-they were His lullaby when He
slept in the boat; the rain-it hung
glittering on the thick foliage of the
parallels; the star of Bethlehem-it
sang Christmas carol over His birth;
the rocks-they beat dirge at His
death
Behold His victory over the grave!
The hinges of the family vault become
very rusty because they are never
opened except TO take another in.
There is n knob on the outside OF the
Sepulcher, but none on the inside.
Here comes the Conqueror of Death.
He enters the realm and SAYS, "Daurh-
ter OF Jarius, sit up;" and she sat up.
To Lazarus, Come forth" and ne came
forth To the widows son He said.
Get up from that bier" and he goes
home with his mother. Then Jesus
snatched up the keys OF death and hung
them To his girdlc, and cried until all
the graveyards OF the earth heard Him.
"oh, Death l will be thy plague! oh,
Grave, | will be thy Instruction.
But Christ's victories have only lust
begun. This world is his. and He must
have IL. What is the matter in this
country? Why all these financial
troubles? There never will bc per.
manent prosperity in this land until
Christ rules II. This land was diScoy-
cred for Christ, and until our cities
shall he evangelical, and north, south.
east and west shall acknowledge Christ
as King and Redccmcr, we can
not have permanent prosperity.
What is the matter with Spain. with
the congresses of the nations can not
bring quiet. When governments. not
only theoretically, but practically.
acknowledge the Saviour of the
world, there will be pence every
where. In that day the sea will
have more ships than now. but
there will not Ice one man OF war A"
The foundrics of the world will Jar with
mightier industries, but there will be
no molding of bullets Printing presses
will fly their cylinders with greater
speed but there shall go forth no in
iquitous trash. In laws, in constitu-
tions. on exchange, in scientific labor
atory, on earth as in Heaven. Christ
shall be called wonderful Let that
work of the worlds regeneration begin
in your heart Oh nearer, 4 Jesus so
KIND Jesus so good, IA Jesus so loving
how can you help but love Him?
IL Is "a beautiful moment whcr. two
persons who have pledged each other.
| stand in church and have the banns OF
marriage proclaimed, father and moth
err, brothers and sisters stand
| around the altar. The min
lister 81 Jesus gives the coun-
witness il; the organ sounds. and amid
many congratulations they start out ON
the path of life together. Oh that this
might bc you marriage day, Stand up,
immortal soul. Thy beloved comes To
get his betrothed. Jesus stretches
forth his hand and says, II will love
thee with an everlasting love" and You
respond. My beloved is mine, md
am His | put your hand in His.
lienceforth be one. No trouble shall
part you-no time cool your love. Side
by side on earth-Side by side in
Heaven. Now let the blossoms Of
heavenly gardens fill the house with
their redolence, and all the organs OF
God peal forth the wedding march OF
eternity. Hank! The voice OF my be.
loved! Behold, He cometh lcaping up
on the mountains, skipping upon the
hills"
