In the former way some'Of us get astray. We thought the religion of Jesus Christ gut us on short commons. We thought there was bet ter pasturage somewhere else. We thought If we could only lie down on the banks of a distant afcrrain. or under great oaks on the other side of some bill, we might be better fed. We want ed other pasturage than that which God, through Jesus Christ, gave our soul, and we wandered on, and we wan dered on, and we were lost. We wanted bread, and we found garbage.

But 1 do not know by what process you got astray; aome In one way and aome In another, and If you could really see the position some of you occupy before Ood your soul would hurst Into an agony of tcara and you would pelt the heavens with the cry, 'tOoll have mercy!” Hlnal’a batteries have been unllnibered above your soul, and at times you have heard It thunder "Tha wages of sin Is deHth." "All have sinned and come short of the glory Of Ood.’’ "By one man sin entered dflto the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all inen, fot that all have sinned.” "The soul that wlrmefb, dt shall die."

With all tho melody possible let the heavens sound It to the earth and lot the earth tell It to the heavens. "The Laird hath laid on him the Iniquity of u* all," I am glad that the prophet did not stop to explain whom he meunt by "him." Him of the manger, him of tho bloody sweat, him of the resurrection throne, him of the crucifixion agony. “On him the Lord hath laid the Iniquity of mi all." “Oh!" hjij'h some man, "that Isn't generous, that Isn't fair; let every man carry his own burden anil pay his own debts." That sounds reasonable. If 1 have an obligation and I have the rut uns to meet It and 1 come to you and ark you to settle that obligation, you rightly say, "Fay your own debts." If you and I, walking down tint street— both hale, hearty and well I usk you to carry me, you say rightly, "Walk on your own feet!” Hut suppose you and I were In u regiment, and I was wounded in the battle and I fell uncon cJous at yottr feet with gunshot frac tures and dislocations, what would you do? Jfou would call to your com rades, saying, "Come and help, this man is helpless; bring the ambulance: let us tube him to tbe hospital," and I would bo a dead lift In your arms, and you would lift me from the ground wuere j imu luut-u, <11111 pui me in uie ambulance ant] take me to tbe hospital and have all kindness shown me. Would there he anything bemoaning in my accepting that kindness? Oh! no. You would be mean not to do It. That Is what Christ does. If we could pay our debts, tlrm It would be better to go up and pay them, saying, "Here, Lord, here Is my obligation; here are the means with which I mean to settle that obligation; .now give me a ,reoe|pt, cross It all out.” The debt Is paid. But the fact Is we itave fallen in the battle, wc have gone down under the hot Are of our transgressions, w« have been wounded by the sabres of sin, we are helpless, we ane undone. Christ domes.

He cornea down upon hte knee, and thru with a dead lift ho ratves us to honor and glory and Im mortality. "Tbe Lord hath laid on him the Iniquity of ns all.” Why, then, will a man carry bis olna? You cannot carry successfully the omsllest sin you ever committed. You might as well put the Appeunlnee on one shoulder and ths Alps mi the other How much less can , you carry all the sins of your lifetime* Christ cornea and looks down In your taco and says "I have come through all lhe lacerations of three days, and through all ths tempests of these nights, I have come to hear vour bur dens. aad to pardon your tins, and ta pay your debts, put them oa mv shoul der. pul them on my heart " "On him the Lord hath laid the latqulty of us all.” Min has almost pestered the life out of some of you At Hmeo It has made you cross aad us reasonable, aad It has spoiled the brightaeaa of your davs and the pea -s of yaur nights There mo men who have been riddled •»f sts.

I eay: "Art thou weary?” "Yes," be says, "weary with the world's woe.” I say: “Whence romest thou?” He says: "I came from Calvary.'* I say: “Who comes with thee?’ He says: "No one; I have trod den the wine-press alone." I say: "Why earnest thou hers?” "Oh!" he says, “I came hers to carry all the sins and sor rows of the people." And he kneels. He says: "Put on my shoulders all the sorrows and all the sins." And. con scious of my own sins first, I lake them and put them on the shoulders of the Bon of Ood. I say: "Canst thou bear any more, O Christ?” He says: "Yes, more." And I gather up the sins of all those who serve at these altars, the offi cers of the church of Jesus Christ I gather tip all their sins and 1 put them on Christ's shoulders, and I say . "Canst thou hear any more?” He Bays: "Yes, j more.” Then I gather up all the slna * of a hnndred people In this house and 1 put them on the shoulders of Christ, and 1 say: "Canst thou hear more?" He says: "Yea. more.” And 1 gather up all the sins of this assembly, and put them on the shoulders of the Hon of Ood, and I say: "Canst than bear more?” ‘ Yea," he says, "more." Blit he Is departing. Clear the way for him, the Bon of Ood. Open the door and let him pass out. He Is carrying out sins and bearing them away. We shall never see I hem again. He throws 1hern down Into the abysm, and you hear the long reverberating echo of their full. "On him the Lord hHth laid the Iniquity of us all." Will you let him take your sins to-day? or, do you say, "l will take charge of them myself, I will fight my own battles. I will riKK eiernny mu my own account”? 1 know not how near some of you have come to croaking the line, A clergyman wild In his pulpit one Sabbath: "Before next Saturday night one of his audience wiy have passed out of life," A gentleman sold to another seated next to him: "I don't, believe It: l moan to watch, and If it doesn't come true by next Saturday night, I ahull tell that clergyman his falsehood," The man seated next to him said: "I'erhapa it will he your self." "Oh! no,” the other replied: “l shall live to he an old man," That night he breathed his last. To-day the Savior calls. All may come. (iod never pushes a man off. Ood never destroy* any body.
