ono 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 their sorrows under his other arm
and said: II will atone for these under
my right arm and will heal all those under
my left arm. Strike me with all thy gilt.
tering shafts, oh, eternal justicel Roll
over me with all thy surges, ye oceans Of
sorrow.' And the tbunderbolts struck
him from above, and the seas of trouble
rolled up from beneath, hurricane after
hurricane and cyclone after cyclone, and
then and there In presence of heaven and
earth and hell, yea, all worlds witnessing,

The Religion Of Blood.
That Is what Paul means, that Is what
! mean, that Is what all those who have
ever had their heart changed mean by
blood" Iglory in this religion OF blood
] am thrilled as l see the suggestive color
In sacramental cup, whether it be Of bur-
nished silver set on cloth Immediately
white or rough hewn from wood set on
table in log hut meeting house of the will
derness. Now am thrilled as sec the
affairs Of ancient sacrifice crimson with
the blood of the slain lamb, and Leviticus
is to me not SO much the Old Testament
as the New. Now I see why the destroy
ing angel passing over Egypt in the night
spared all those houses that had blood
sprinkled on their doorposts Now I
know what Isaiah means when he speaks
of lone in red apparel coming with dyed
garments from Bozrah," and whom the
Apocalypse means when 1t describes
heavenly chieftain whose "vesture was
dipped In blood" and what John the
apostle means when be speaks of the
"precious blood that cleanseth from all
sin, " and what the old, wornout, deorepit
missionary Paul means when, In my text,
he cries, Without shedding of blood Is NO
remission" By that blood you and will
be saved-or never saved at all. In all the
ages of the world God has not once par
doned single sin except through the SAY. |
tours expiation, and he never will. Glory |

1t was most exciting day spent on /
the battlefield of Waterloo. Starting out
with the morning train from Brussels,
we arrived in about an hour on
that famous spot. A son of one who was
in the battle, and who had heard from his
father thousand times the whole scene

There stood the old Hougomont chateau,
the walls dented and scratched and broken
and shattered by grapeshot and cannon
ball. There is the we'll in which 300 dying
and dead were pitched. There is the chapel
With the head of the infant Christ shot of.
There are the gates at which for many
hours English and French armies wrestled.
Ionder were the 100 guns of the English
md the $50 guns Of the French. Yonder

The Fate of Centuries.
Yonder was the rayine of Ohain, where

nto ono awful mass Of suffering, hoof of
