 But, my sinful friend, even with all your sinful past, is that right? Is that what Christ would have you do ? If you had a wayward boy, and he had run away from home and trampled upon your bleeding heart for many years, would you want him to stay away and die hardened against you and bitter merely because he had been sinful and wayward? No! If you knew where he was dying today. you would take the very first train to him. You would go, if necessary, without even a change of garments. You would walk up and down the train while 1t was in motion. because your anxiety would not let you sit still, and you would rush into the hospital and rush to the ward and throw yourself by his bed just to give him kiss of love and pardon. So Jesus today begs you to live for him and come to him. My brother, will you let the cross be the

host and father. outraged by the evil

to carry the punishment into effect the
dog interfered, pushing himself be-
