HltN hkflnNi you no more forever
Years ago IN Philadelphia boy
was working for his father. and one
night he tapped the till and stole
sos. and he fled. The father hired
detectives and then sent photo.
graphs of tho boy 10 tho chiefs OF
police oil around, and the mothers
heart was breaking. and they looked
everywhere.
And finally ono day my old friend
Sam H.dlry. who used TO be super
intcpdcut Of the old Water street
mission IN New York, he sat tcctered
back In chair In front Of his place,
and a boy como down the street and
stopped lie said
Us this Mr. ilndlcy7"
lie said, YES"
IIc said. "Wlll you kindly get mo
o nocdlo?'
Iro said, Il want TO mend my
| trOuRorH"
IIn looked at the boys trousers
ana saw they were In rags and he
said.
"You haven't got trousers enough
10 bother about mrnding You go
upstairs ana IN gct you another
| pair"
when they got upstairs he told
/ him how hc had stolen the money
|
/ HBdlcy sent n telegram 10 Philadcl-
phla TO the same address the boy
gave him and back came the an
ever:
"Mr ". NJ Hadlcy. 3lG South Wa
. ter street, New York city. Tell the
/ dear boy 20 come home. put him On
la Pennsylvania train and we Will
moct him ~ tho Broad street sta
. tlOn"
God said TO Jcnus Christ: 81 com
mission you to go down and teH
them 10 never mind what they have
done, forget the past and remember
that have a full pardon for them
FREQ and eternal"
II never enters into consideration
what you have been and what you
have done. II you are only ready and
/ willing TO forsako your stain. God
stands ready and willing TO forgive
them, no matter what you have done
that rs not the question with the
Lord And then because OF the life
md death resurrection Of Jesus
ChruHt II II made possible to DO Ills
viii and keep His commandments.
During the Indian mutiny some OF
the English were defeated and
number of them were captured
and they were taken prisoners TO
what was then the headquarters OF
the Sepoys, and among them was u
man who was wounded and bleeding
from a half dozen wounds lilo was
lying ON the floor when In camo an
Indian officer and he started TO
wrap long chain about each Of the
English officers.
when he approached the man ly-
Ing on the floor, so weak from loss
of blood and his wounds that he
couldn't move. he started to wrap
and lock the chain about him, a
brother EnRllshmAn named Baird
leapcd TO his feet and showed the
Indian bnck until ne went staggering
against the wall and he said
Great God man, have you neither
heart nor sympathy Don't you see
the man ls suffering from the wounds
and Il so weak now that he cant
stand2 lie could make no attempt
TO escape. and couldn't IL he wanted
to, and you are not going 10 add TO
his burdens by compelling him to lie
there with u chain wrapped about
him. ?"
said the indian officer: There
are as many chains az there are
, prisoners. and every chain must bo
worn"
Then said Baird. You may put
two chains on mo; I will wear mine
and his Put two around me instead
of one
And they locked two chains
around him and they carried him
out and dumped him Into the infa-
mons well at Calcutta. This other
man was exchanged and he went
back 90 England and until the day
ne died he never tired in private or
public sounding forth the praises OF
the man who, by wearing his chain,
had made II possible for him 10
creep hack again into the arms OF
his wife and of his children,
oh. II that man had worn all the
chains that would not have been
analogous to what Jesus Christ did
when he made Il possible for every
one of us to Keep out OF hell. |
don't see why you want me Ia kill
myself trying to get you to do what
IL right think that with one mes
sage anybody who claims to be de-
cent would rush TO Jesus Christ.
