''Ard the ransomrd Of the Lord shall re.
turn and coma to Zion with songs aud
everlasting joy upon Their heads; they
shall obtain Joy and gladaass and sorrow
and siShing shnl, fac away" Isaiah B5:
10 This was the subject OF Rev. &. A.
Crises morning sermon ut Union Church
yesterday. He said the text was a pro-
pheis one which some Bible Comnenta-
toes nave Interpreted as being strictly ap-
plicable to the Jew. Hc held however.
That scrptural prophecy must be Inter-
prateu on broader grounds and that the
promises were for all who believed In the
Lord Jesus Christ. The ''ransomed of the
Lord are therefore those of the Jew or
GENTLE who are saved through The blood
of IL Christ who loved and died for all
peoples of all classs5 uni in all lands.

analogy between The raising of Lazarus
from tho grave and the revival of religion
in Il congregation. When we want jesus
TO como and bless US, we do not 20 for
him but send some ous to do tho work for
us. The entire family do not 90 out to
meet tho Savior. Tho husband or wife
has to go alone or leave some OF the sons
and daugh ers behind. Martha was not
fit 10 walk with her sister until she had
talked with the Master. We wonder why
sinners are not converted but il we would
look into our own heart, we might find
that 1t was because our own heart was too
cold to give the warm invitation of love
that will win the soul OF tho lost. When
ever We get right hearted, our sisters and
brothers will come with us to moot Jesus
and he will Givo the blessing. We need to
remove all the stones, End make full con-
fos.ions and then the Saviour will give us
joy in seeing the salvatlon Of prccou.
