vi, 20, ..Ye are bought with price,
Your friend takes you through his
valuable house. You examine the
arches, the frescoes, the grass plots,
the fish ponds, the Conservatives, the
parks of deer, and you say within
yourself or you say aloud, What did
all this COST" You see costly dia-
mond flashing in an earring, or you
hear a costly dress rustling across the
drawing room, or you see a high met
tied span of horses harnessed with sill
yer and gold and you begin to make
an estimate of the value.
The man who owns a large estate
cannot instantly tell you all it is
worth. He says, 4 will estimate so
much for the house. much for the
furniture, so much for laying out the
grounds, so much for the stock, so
much for the barn. so much for the
equipage, adding up in all making this
aggregate.
Well, my friends, / hear SO much
about our mansion in heaven, about
its furniture and the grand surround
ings, that | want to know how much
it is all worth and what has actually
been paid for it. l cannot complete in
a month nor year the magnificent
\ a,
today l hope to give you the figures.

Bringing Glad TidIngs.
Let us open the door of the caravan
sary in Bethlehem and drive away the
camels. Pass on through the group of
tdlers and loungers. What, o Mary, no
light? mo light" she says. save that
which comes through the door, What
Mary, no food? None she says,
+.only that which was brought in the
sack on the journey" Let the Bethle-
hem woman who has come in here
with kindly attentions put back the
covering from the babe that we may
look upon it. Look! Look. Uncover
your head. Let us kneeI. Let all
voices be hushed. Son of Mary! Son of
God, Child of a day, Monarch of eter-
Omnipotence sheathed in that Babes
arm. That voice to be changed from
the feeble pIaint to the tone that
shall wake the dead Hosanna! Ho-
sannai Glory to God that Jesus came
from throne to manger that we might
rise from manger to throne, and that
all the gates are open, and that the
door of heaven that once swung this
way to let Jesus out now swings the
other way to let us in. Let all the
bellmen of heaven lay hold the rope
and ring out the news, Behold, L
bring you glad tidings of great joy,
which shall be to all people, for today
is born in the city of David a Savior,
which is Christ the Lordr'
The second instaIlment paid for our
souls clearance was the scene in
Quarantania, mountainous region,
full of caverns, where are today pan
theirs and wild beasts of all sorts, so
that you must now go there armed
with knife or gun or pistol. 1t was
there that Jesus went to think and
pray, and it was there that this mon
Ster of heIl-more sly, more terrible,
than anything that prowied in that
country-satan himself, met Christ.
Jesus Roman Senate.
The rose in the cheek of Christ-that
PubIius LentuIIus, in his letter to the
Roman senate, ascribed to Jesus-that
rose had scattered its petals. Absti-
nence from food had thrown him into
emaciation. A long abstinence from
food recorded in profane history is
that of the crew of the ship Juno. For
twenty-three days they had nothing to
eat. But this sufferer had tasted a
month and ten days before he broke
fast. Hunger must have agonized
every fibre of the body and gnawed on
the stomach with teeth of death. The
thought of a morseI of bread or meat
must have thrilled the body with
something like ferocity. Turn out a
pack OF men hungry as Christ was
a-hungered, and if they had strength
with one yell they would devour you
as a kid 1t was in that pang OF hun
ger that Jesus was accosted, and satan
said, Now, change these stones, which
look like bread, into an actual supply
of bread Had the temptation come
to you and me under those circum-
stances We would have cried, Bread i,
shall bel" and been almost impatien,
Christ with one hand beat back the
hunger and with the other hand beat
back the monarch of darkness. W
