IF ever you need the friendship Of
the crown, II you will send that ring
back as evidence of your appeal, 1
will grant you any request that you
may make, even to pardoning the crime
Of treason"
He Remembers.
Years rolled by and they became
estranged and the earl was arrested
on a trumped-up charge Of treason
He Remembered the queens request
and sent back the ring. One Of the
maids in waiting who had been 1eal-
Gus Of the love Of the queen for the
earl. and had tried to win his love
herself, received the ring from the
messenger and withheld IL from her
majesty.
When the queen heard that her
lover had been arrested, sleep forsook
her couch and she walked the palace
floors and refused food. She was too
proud to take the initiative that he
might receive pardon.
Still No Sign.
The night before the day of the
execution she sat all night at the
window, watching. And with her
tace framed in the window pane, she
glared out In the darkness waiting
Tor the coming Of the messenger with
the ring. The day dawned and no
ring came. and the ak Of the heads
man cleaned in the sunlight, and
the head Of her lover rolled in the
dust.
When the queen heard that her
maid had withheld the ring, she flew
at her like a tigress, and would have
torn her heart from her breast and
her throat assunder, If she had not
been stopped. From that day until
the hour Of her death, she cried:
All my possessions for moment Of
time!"
Poor, broken hearted Queen Bess.
she never knew surcease from sor-
row.
Just Your Will.
There Is just one thing that with
holds you from the blessing Of God,
ana that is your miserable, stubborn
will. You have to put that beneath
your feet. There is no compromise.
What shall do with Jesus? What
shall do?"
You put 1t up to yourself.
What shall do then with Jesus ."
Some questions are international.
some concern states and congression-
al districts, some concern families. but
this Is a personal question.
What shall do7" not with money!.
with the Old Testament, not with pol
itics.
What shall do?" not with money!.
not with society, not with the church"
But what shall do with Jesus ?
That is what you are up against
What shall I do with Jesus?"
On, but, says a man to me. ..Mr.
sunday, don't believe that Jesus is
the Christ"
He Is Anyway.
he IS the Christ whether you believe
1T or not. Simply because YOU saw
you don't believe, that don't change the
fact. You say:
= don't believe that there is a hell"
But there Is whether you believe It
or not. The bible is the word of Cod.
and your disbelief don't change it one
iota. or jot or title.
You can't change 1t.
Oh" but said man, '.Mr. Sun.
DAY, don't you know that in these
days OF philosophical research the con-
sensus OF latest STANDARDIZATION the
consensus of the latest scholarship
says the Word Of God is any other
tnlng, the consensus can go straight
TO hell-I am not pinning nv faith to
any old professor. I cling to the word
Of God. "oAo
Tho Woman and Carlyle.
What shall I do?"
Years ago in the house of a famous
Womt-a in London there was III.
erary gathering and among the guests
was Thomas Carlyle and a, woman
noted for her culture and wealth was
bemoaning the fact that the Jews had
repudiated Jesus, and that their en-
nifty eliminated at the crucifxion
and ended the TRADE by making this
plea:
Mr.. Carlyle, If Jesus had lived in
our day as In the days when he was
on earth. how gladly we would have
sat at His feet, and listened to His
precepts and advice, with alacrity
obeyed his slightest command and
request and anticipated what He
might not have uttered, would we
not?"
NO." snapped the old cynic mo.
If he had lived in our day as in the
days when on earth, had he come
dressed in the height of fashion.
preaching doctrines acceptable to the
higher social orders, no doubt would
have been privileged to receive an in
vitation to your home like this. To
meet our Savior in our home Thurs
day evening. Tea at O'clock. But If
Jesus had lived as he did on this earth.
and had he come and driven Cod
scalpel Of truth to the very hilt and
rebuked your hypocrisy, no doubt you
would have been one Of the first to
rail against him and say. away with
hin-take him to Newgate and hang
him."
Tho Same in Marshailtown,
Don't you think that you have to
go back to the days Of Jesus to find
fools to treat Jesus like that. There
are people in Marshalltown that will
do 1t. The same old devil that inspired
them to reject Him Is what inspired
you to keep Him out Of your hearts.
What shall we do?''
Take Your Choice.
Having made your choice Of one of
two things. OF course. We must reject
the other. All right, you can not have
sin and salvation. Take your choice.
("What shall do, then. with Jesus
that is called the Christ"
We have got to do something. There
is no middle ground. What you do
with Him here will decide what He
will do with you up yonder. II you
treat Jesus with contempt you have
no kick coming II he treats ,,o,, NTH,
