this one whom they called a dreamer
and a visioner.
Now there came this declaration,
"The doom Of your house is left unto
YOU desolate." This sentence was not
pronounced in the spirit Of anger, but
in the tenderness of sorrow. IL was
the inevitable consequence Of reiec-
tion. Jesus uttered it with break
ing heart
The story is told of a man who
rushed out on the street and seized
the bride Of a runaway horse at the
risk Of his own life. and brought II
10 a halt and saved the occupant OF
the carriage. a young man, from
what would have been almost certain
death. This same young man dritted
into a life of sin. He was convicted
of crime and after the jury had
brought i'm the verdict OF guilty, the
Judge directed him to stand and re-
ceiye the sentence asking If there
was any reason why this sentence
should not be pronounced upon him.
The man exclaimed why, judge, you
surely will not sentence me. DO you
not remember that you are the one
who some years ago stopped a runa-
way horse and saved my lifeY' Yes,
the Judge answered, 'at that time |
stood before you as your saviour, but
now I have to stand before you as
your Judge" So with Jesus as He
stands upon the mountain overlook

He was To bring it's people to a rea-
