through the ages when we have turn
ed to dust.
There will be other Christopher
Wrens; and st. Peters and ST. Pauls

because of the sacrifice that he made
for us. You ought to have to do with
Him because of the sacrifice.
John found himself bathed in tears.
He had book that was sealed and
the angles were looking for some one
to break the seal. Were David and
Daniel or Joseph or Paul able to
break it?
Down from the shining courts above
with joyful haste He fed,
Entered the tomb in mortal fear,
And triumphed DER the dead"
Up from the grave he rose in tri-
umph DER His foes and he lives to
reign.
Hallelujah, He arose. He opened
His veins with the instrument of the
cross and bathed the world with
blood and tears, and opened up
plan to keep you and me out of hell.

west, up will come tramping a null
titude that no man can number. and
the grave will open and tired, sleepy,
imnortals will crawl out like the SOL
diers bivouacking for the night They
climb up the coral reefs and come
from the caves of the sea where the
dark waves sang their sad requiem
when they left life.
Then there tho ri OIL hand
of God, the Father will be Jesus
Christ, whom l present to you to-
night, and / can see the devil, the
arch-enemy of your soul and mine.
He will be there to accuse us before
the Father. l can see him as he be-

Of believer, and l can see God rise
and say:
Hey! Demon of the pit. Don't
you know that you are hand cutting
Jesus Christ? Let that man go-he
has an advocate with the Father, even
Jesus Christ. A son of God. Loose
him and let him go"
And the Angel choir, tier on tier, will
chorus in one grand hallelujah:
Loose him and let him GO He has
an advocate with the Father
Up From He'll.
Then the devil will turn his back on
that scene and plunge into the inner
most depths of the Internal regions and
up will belch sulphur fumes, and with

Lost lost-we have no advocate
with the Father in hell. Lost! Lost!'

The vilest sinner here tonight if YOU
will accept Jesus. God will instantly
accept you. The best man and woman
in town If they reject Jesus, God will
reject them.

OF marvellous mechanism-used for
Weighing gold sovereigns. They don't

What Does he Lack?
Dose Jesus lack anything in your
estimation?
A famous infidel once said
IF you will find me an absolutely
flawless character l will worship
him.
I will challege all the infidels on
earth to show me a flaw in Jesus
Christ-cne flaw. For nineteen CEN
turtles the infidels have racked their
brains to find some flaw. He stands out
tonight more magnificent and beauti-
full than any one the world has ever
known.
You ought to have to do with Him,
because Of the love that all the pure
and holy bear him. The anarchist has
no use for him, the thief that holds up
man and the riff raft.
