Come unto me, all ye who are heavy
ladened and | will give you rest. 4"
The preacher said this was one of the

an earnest invitation full of religion.
1t brought man in personal contact
with personal Christ The invita-
ton, it would be noticed, extended to
all classes of people. Come unto me-
all We heavy ladened. - 1t was for all
who are beaten beneath heavy burdens,
for the toiling masses who go through
life's drudgery from day to day. 1t
extended to men who have INDUCED in
the frivolites of life until their. physi
cal and moral strength has all been
sapped to the aged the weak and in
firm, who are lettering on the brink
of the grave. Christ can make the
heaviest burden light and the hardest
toll easy. The greatest burden i'll the
world is sin. 1t is the cause of all
misery. 1t is the greatest disturbance
to human minds and human souls.
Christs invitation promised deliver
ance from sin, and pardon from it.

heights of joy unspeakable and glory
unending. The invitation also

said that the greatest thing in this
life is the hope of heaven. You may
have your homes lands and great
wealth, but the hope Of heaven would
weight down ten thousand worlds,
It's the good hope of heaven that
gives us peace and rest. Amid the
roar and rustic of life we need shelter
for the soul. We can only find it at
the foot of the mountain of God s love,
manifested through Jesus Christ, his
Son.
