either in bliss or in misery, does not the
offer that Christ makes you stir your de-
sire for salvation? Accept his proffered
gin, and then. be your end what 1t may.
your being rooted up from this world.
with its bitter fruits of sorrow and pain
and misery, will mean nothing more
than your being transplanted into that
supernal garden I'm which you will grow
and flourish and bear fruit to the honor
and glory of God. There is an old legend
that when King solomon was boy one
day he begged his teacher to show him
miracle. Nathan thrust his finger into
the soil and dropped therein a little
seed Immediately that seed began to
sprout. While the lad looked on the two
little green leaves grew into round
stem. Then the stem sweled out with
the trunk of a large tree. Then the tree,
like 'the seven branches, became like
the seven candlesticks Of the affairs
and the birds Of the air flew into those
branches and builded there their nests
and reared their young. While he looked
the blossoms grew upon that tree, and
then those blossoms were changed into
the deep rich red fruit which blushed like
the glow of the setting sun. That Is mere
ly legend, but there is real miracle
which can be worked in your lives infiin-
itely greater than young Solomon Is sup
pose to have seen.
The seed of eternal life planted by the
Holy Spirit in your heart can change
your whole nature Instead of those
qualities which degrade you to the level
of the brutes, Instead OF the sinful pro-
pensities which distort and deform your
being, there shall grow from that divine
seed a plant Of beauty, graceful and
glorious with heavenly loveliness and
eternal in ever developing life. "Ye shall
be like tree planted by the rivers of
water, that bringeth forth It's fruit in
its season, and whatsoever We doeth shall
prosper What Is your choice? VIII you
live a life Of beauty and usefulness
life patterned on that divine life which
Christ lived on earth, ending In tri-
umphant resurrection. or will you choose
the wickedness, the wee, the corruption,
of the world, feeding like the eastern dog
on the carrion Of life and becoming In
nature like him? Remember. II ye live
after the flesh We shall die, and from that
abode of bliss, where there are Joys for
ever more, you will be excluded with all
whose natures have grown fierce and
cruel and debased. without are dogs"
