great oaks on the other side of some

God, through Jesus Christ, gave our
soul, and we wandered on, and we wan

But the lust part Of my text opens a
door'Wide enough to let us all out and
to Jet till heaven In. Hound It on the
ongHnwIth all tho stops out. Thrum It
on lilie harps with all the strings atone.
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.
The loud clang heard in the sky on that
Christmas night was only til# bell, tbe
resounding bell of the ambulance.
Clear the way fur the Bon of Led. He
comes down to bind up the wounds, and
to scatter tbe darkness, and to save tbe
lost. Clear the way for the Bon ©f Ood.
Christ comes down to us, and wo ars
a dead lift, lie does not lift us with
tbe tips of bis Augera He doss not lift
m with ons arm. 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

the Lord hath laid the latqulty of us

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

some of you have come to croaking the
line, A clergyman wild In his pulpit
one Sabbath: "Before next Saturday

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

night he breathed his last. To-day the

It was Impossible for the minister of
war to find, throughout the extent
of the empire, the number ot horses
necessary to remount tha caval

had to Hungary and Russia. Owing
to these circumstances efforts are now
being made to once more raise borse
breeding to Its former level. The sul

formed, the largest being in I.iban,
whence 150 fouls are expected yearly,
it has also been resolved to create or
reorganise horse races on th-t model of
those given of late years ar Heyrout, In

Europe. In addition, the minister of

to those breeders who prevent the finest

of the stallions approved by the gov

Feeders are realizing more and more
the waste of material In old steers, the
older they grow the more feed being
required to produce the additional
pound of meat. Good breeding and
good feeding is certain to produce a

years. A 1,COO-pounder may bring more
in money to breeder, dealer and butcher
