Oh. my brother Christian workers,
what Is the use of our going awav OFF
in some obscure part of his ory, or on
the other sid of the earth to get an
illustration. when the earth and tbs
heavens are full of illustrations.
Why should we go away off To get an
of Jesus Christ. when aS near us a.
bloomfield, y. j., two little children
were walking on the railroad track
and train was coming; but they were
on bridge of trcstle work, and the
little girl took her brother and let
him down through the trc>tle work IA
gently a. she could toward the water,
very carefully and lovingly and eau
tious,y, 50 that he might not be hurt
in the fall. and might be picked up by
those who wcrs standing near by
While doing that the train struck her,
and hardly enough of her body was
LETT to gather into a funeral caslxet
What was that? Vicarious suffering.
Like Christ. Fang for others. Woe
for other, Suffering for Others. D.ath
for Others.
What is the use of our going away
off to find an illustration in past age,
when during the great forest fires in
Michigan mail carrier on horseback
riding ON, pursued by those flames
which hal swept over hundred
miles. saw an old man by the roadside,
dismountcd, helped the oil man on
the horse, saving, Now whip
up aud get away" The old man got
away, but the mail carrier persisted.
just like Christ dismounting from the
glorics of Heaven put us on the way
of dclivcrance, then falling back into
the flames of sacrifice for others. Pang
for others. Wee for 9th r. Death
for others. Vicarious suff ring.

are mrny people spending their

What will your prayer do for them
in the way of giving them strength
to resist? Will You be chiefly
anxious about the fit of the glove that
You put to your forehead while yor
