at the very moment we are congra;u-
lating you on your fine house and upon
your prineely income God and the
angels are writing in regard to your
soul; Weighed and found wantingl'"
Suddenly the judgment will be here
The angel with one foot on the sea and
the other foot on the land. will swear
by Him that liveth forever and ever
that time shall be no longer; Behold.
He cometh with clouds. and every eye
shall see Him." nark TO the Earring Of
the mountains. Why, that IL the set
ting down Of. the scales. the balances.
And then there is a fash as II from a
cloud. but IL is the glitter Of the shin
ing balances, and they are hoisted. and
all nations are 10 be weighed. The I'M
forgiven get out on this side the bal
anees. They must have weighed them
selves and pronounced q fattering de-
cision. The world may have weighed
them and pronounced them moral.
Now they are being weighed in Gods
balances-the balances that can make
nc mistake. All the property gone. all
the titles and distinction gone, all the
worldly successes gone. there is a soul,
absolutely nothing but a soul. an i'm
mortal soul, a dying soul. q soul
stripped Of all worldly adyantages-a
soul on one side of the scales. On the
other side the balances are wasted Sab
baths. disregarded sermons, 10000 op-
Portunities of mercy and pardon that
were cast aside. They are on the other
side Of the scales, and there God stands,
and, in the presence Of men and devils,
eherubim and krehangel, he announces,
while groaning earthquake and crack
ling eonhagration and judgment trum-
pet and everlasting storm repeat ft:
Weighed and found wanting"
But say some who are Christians;
Certainly you don't mean to say that
We will have to go into the balances?
Our sins are all pardoned; our title to
Heaven Is secure. Certainly you are
not going to put US in the balances2"
Yes, my brother, we must all appear
before the Judgment seat of Christ, and
on that day you are going to be
weighed. Oh, follower Of Christ, you
get into the balances, The bell of the
judgment is ringing. You must get in
70 the balances. You get in ON this side.
On the other side the balances we will
place all the opportunities of good
which you did not improve. all the AZ.
tainments in piety which YOU might
have had, but which YOU refused n
take. We place them all on the other
side. They 20 down, and YOUR soul
rises In the scale. You cannot WEIGH
against all those i-mperfections. We'll.
then, we must give YOU the ADVANTAGE,
and ON your side the scale we win nlsca
al the good deeds you have ever done
and all the lind words YOU have ev,r
uttered. Too light yeti Wen. wa must
