suspended from the ministry by his brethren for practicing law must begin to realize the rapidly growing conviction that there is a vast and widening gulf between law ard the prophets MUCH has ben prdicted as to what officers Admiral Simpson will give credit for the Cervera victory It does not amount to a hill of bran what Sampson thinks about that fight the people know Schley did it and to him will be awarded the peoples praise THE attitude of the United States the Cuban insurgents remains the policy of them with arms and supplies will be continued except as to Garcia and his troops The latter have the line under their tail and will be to kick til get it out WHEN the surrendered Spanish troops are landed on their own soil its a sac wager that never leave their native heath again to fight Americans or Cubans The poor devils were into coming across the waters and their officers have lied to them persistently ever since they landed Every mothers son of them would willingly stand up

to prohibit the appearance on the streets of any woman in golf or bicycling costume with the skirts higher than the shoe top This was evidently put on foot by the girls with peastick limbs To be in the style they must wear the short dresses and to appear thus would blast their matrimonial prospect We will venture that no kick on the short skirt is coming from the girl with a wellrounded limb WE are not competent to judge the abilities of Sampson as a sailor but it is perfectly clear that the authority recently given him has swelled his head away out of shape and that a calling down is badly needed A great many people get the big head when giyen a little authority and Sampson has proyen no exception to the rule Schley is entitled to all the glory of the Cervera fight and because he won the honors old Sampson is doing his utmost to hound Schley down and keep him back In his mad attempt to out shine Schley Sampson is too much of the seat of his LEWIS WAnXER a Massachusetts banker who stole 040000 has been arrested in Louisville papers tell of the comortable quarters the thief was placed in and the elegant furnished him Had some poor hungry wretch stolen a loaf of bread or half dozen chickens he would be made to wear the convicts garb for years but when a banker steals thous ands of dollars he is fed on the fat of the land and lorded around like a king These bank thieves should be punished just like poor people are made to suffer for wrong doings and an occasional hanging among them would not be at all out of place DESPITE the feeling of apprehension that there will be trouble between the American troops and the natives in Manila Admiral Dewey seems still to s control the situation with a master hand and to be on good terms with Gen Aguinaldo He has officially ex

Cubans of Cienfugos have sent an appeal to Admiral Sampson to hasten his operations take possession of the town and rescue from starvation about 5000 old men women and Their situation is described as

Morgan says that this Govern ment must keep everything in sight and must also demand war indemnity Senator Foraker is very anxious to see the issue carried to a successful point The latest official advcies from Santi regard to the health of the army that the medical officers in charge will have hard work to prevent a serious spread of disease among the troops It does not appear however that yellow fever has made much head way and the administration hopes the no more virulent from of the dreaded diseasd will develop Up to the pre time there has been no very severe case of the yellow fever reported the medical department of the army has found that the insolation of cases has worked very successfully What to do with the Philippines is a matter concerning which the has not yet decided upon a policy beyond a purpose to restrain at least a coaling station there A diplo mat at Washington thinks there will ba a general grab from the Powers i the island is returned to Spain unless the United States joins with Spain in protecting it The alliance with Agui naldo is considered by this diplomat an unwise move The preparations for docking the ar mor clads indicate that the Adminis tration is in no hurry about sending Commodore Watson to The battleship Texas has been ojdjrec to Brooklyn to be docked Following her the Iowa Indiana and Massachu setts will be sent North in turn for

those of us who are serving the Master that we may ever have the strength and courage to live near to Christ Pray also for those who do not profess to be followers of Christ that they map be won over to Him An examination of the wrecks of the vessels of Admiral Cerveras fleet shows that the twelveinch and thirteeninch guns played relatively a small part in the work of destruction Most of the work was done by eightinch sixinc and fiveinch shells and sixpounder projectiles the fiveinch shells strik ing oftener than shells of any other caliber As only the Brooklyn fired fiveinch shells this showing is a of the great part played by the cruis er in the battle All the President and majority of his Cabinet would like to hold would be coaling stations in Guam Island in the Ladrones With the natives quite as capable of self government as the Cubans it may be that he Administration will determine- to maintain a force in the islands the Far East until a stable govern ment is in operation in the Phillippi Wes and then as it proposed to do in Cuba This is one of many suggestions but it is purely a matter of speculation to say whether or not the president will adopt in is appreciated by the authorities that the abandonment of the Philippines will mean the seizure of the different islands by European Powers and it is questionable whether the authorities would be willing to abandon them M Cambon the French Ambassador to the United States Tuesday present ed to President McKinley the formal and direct request of Spain for a state ment of the terms upon which peace would be granted The communica ton from the Spanish government was a brief one It frankly acknowledged that the fortune of war had gone against Spain No suggestions was made or could be made at that stage as to the concessions which Spain would be willing to m ke and there was no request for an armistice The President informed M Cambon that he would consult his Cabinet before and that the Ambassador would be notified when to return to receive the reply of this Government- It will probably be several days before the President replies It is believed that at present he favors these terms Independence for Cuba the cession of Porto RicD and the Ladrones and a coaling station in the Philippines Concerning the demand to be made as to the for the cession of the Islands or for only a coaling on the subject of a money indemnity the President doubtless receive many suggestions he replies to the Queen Regent It is believed that an agreement will be quickly reachai with Spain as to Cuba and Porto Rico but that the Philippine question is likely to prove a stumblingblock It is not the of the United States to in any change the plans in regard to Porto Rico on account of the overtures for peace which have been made by the Spanish gjyernmen4 through the of the French Ambassador The preparations for sending off to Porto the rest of the army designated for that place will be continued as as possible for

Legion and it seems that during his absence some one gave out clothing to the amount of several thousand dollars When he asked for receipts from those getting the stuff he was refused Of course he will get into no serious trouble over the mat ter as the men have the clothes and do not deny getting them general impression hero is that the whole is a scheme worked up to worry Sal ter The Legion has a lot of pets and one of their particular ones was Roy McDonald who was quartermaster and who failed to pass the physical examination This riled the feather bed aggregation and as Salter was given the place it is quite natural that the curled darlings should take out their spite on him If they think they they can bulldoze or run over Mike they are sadly mistaken He is an honest straightforward gentleman and if nagged at much longer will spank every darling in Castlemans nursery Excursions via Ches apeake anti Ohio The Chesapeake and Ohio Ry will run the following excursions to the Seashore

Cure the Leper arf Re corded the Cld Testament Symbolic of tho SOILS Flight to Its Home Al v Clt Iud lr irt l the Soul Jlay Soar Upward us 1 IU the Turtle how From a scene of old Dr Talmage in this sermon presents the old under another phase Text Leviticus xiv 57 And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earth en vessel over running water As for the living bird he shall take it and the cedar wood and the scarlet and the hyssop and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water and he shall sprinkle upon him that is be cleased from the leprosy seven times and pronounce him clean and shall let the living bird loose into the open field The Old Testament to very many people is a great slaughter house strewn with the blood and Lones and and hoofs of butchered ani mals It offends their tight it dis gusts their taste it actually nauseates the stomach Jut to the intelligent Christian the Old Testament is a corridor through which Josus advances As He appears at the other end of the corridor we can only see the outlines of Ills character coming we can de cry His features But torches of evangelists and apostles the orch stras of Heaven announce Him with a blast of minstrelsy that wakes up Bethlehem at midnight There were a great many cages of birds brought down to Jesusalem for sacrifice st arrows and pigeons and turtle doves I can luar theta now whistling caroling and singing all around about the temple When a leper was to be cured of his leprosy in order to his cleansing two of these birds were taken one of them was slain over an earthen vessil of run ning water that is clear fresh water and then the bird was killed Another bird was then taken tied to a hyssop branch and plunged by the priest into the blood of the first bird and then with this hyssop branch birdtipped the priest would sprinkle the leper seven times thi untie the bird from the hyssop branch and it would go soaring into the heavens Now open your eyes wide my dear brethren and sisters and see that the first bird meant Jesus and that the second bird means your own soul There is nothing more suggestive than a caged bird In the down of its breast you can sue the glow of south ern climes in the sparkle of its eye you can see the Hash of distant seas in its voice you can hear the song it learned in the wildwood It is a child of the shy in captivity Now the dear bird of my text captured from the air suggests the Lord Jesus who came down from the realms of light and glory lIe once stood in the sunlight of Heaven He was the favorite of the land lie was the kings son Whenever a victory was gained or a throne set up he was the first to hear it He could not walk incognito along the streets for all Heaven knew him For eternal ages he had dwelt amid the mighty tions of Heaven No holiday had ever dawned on the city when he was lIe was not like an earthly prince occasionally issuing from a r heralded by a troop of clanking horseguards No he was greeted everywhere as a brother and all was perfectly at home with him one lay there came word to the palace that an insignificant island was in rebellion and was cutting itself to pieces with anarchy I hear an angel say Let it perish The Kings realm is vast enough without the island The tributes to the King are large enough without that We can spare Not so said the Prince the Kings son and I see Him push out one day under the protest of great company He starts straight for the rebellious island He lands amid the execrations of its inhabitants that grow in violence until the malice of earth had smitten Him and the spirits of the lost world put their black wings over His dying head and shut the sun out The hawks and vul tures swooped upon this dove of my text until head and breat and feet ran under the flocks and beaks of darkness the poor thing per ished No wonder it was a bird that was taken and slain over an earthen vessel of running water It was a child of the skies It typified Him who came down from Heaven in and blood to save our souls Blessed be His glorious name forever I notice also in my text that the bird that was slain was a clean bird The text demanded that it should be The raven was never sacrificed nor the cormorant nor the vulture It must be a clean bird says the text and it suggests the pure Jesus the holy Jesus Although He spent His boyhood in the worst village on earth although blasphemies were poured His ear enough to have poisoned else He stands before the world a perfect Christ Herod was cruel Henry VIII was but point out a fault of our King Answer me ye boys who knew Him on the streets of Nazareth me ye miscreants who saw Him die The skeptical tailors have tried for 1800 years to find out one hole in this seamless garment but they have not found it The most ingenious and eloquent infidel of this day in the last line of his book all of which denounces says All ages must proclaim that among the sons of men there is none greater than Jesus So let this bird of the text be feet fragrant with the dew that it pressed its beak carrying sprig of thyme and frankincense its feathers washed in showers 0 thou spotless Son of God impress with Thy innocence Thou lovely source of true delight Whom I unseen adore Unjrftt Thy beauties to my sight That I may love Thee more I remark alsp in regard to this first mentioned in the text that it was a defenseless bird When the eagle is assaulted with its iron beak it strikes like a bolt against its adver sarv This a dove do not know just which Take dove or pigeon in your hand and the pecking of its beak on your hand makes you the feebleness of its assault The you with its antlers The ox after you think it is dead may break your leg in its death struggle The

perfectly defenseless type of Him who said I have trod the wine press alone and there was none to help None to help The murderers have it all their own way Where was the in the Roman regiment who swung his sword in the defense of the Divine Martyr Did they put one drop oil on His gashed feet Was there one in all that crowd manly and gener ous enough to stand up for him Were the miscreants at the cross any more interfered with in their work of spik ing Him fast than the carpenter in his shop driving a nail through a pine board The women cried but there was no balm in their tears None to help None to help 0 my Lord Jesus none to help The wave of anguish came up to the arch His feet came up to His knee floated to His to His swept to his none help Ten tlfbusand times ten thou sand angels in the ready at mand to plunge into the fray and strike back the hosts of ness yet none to help none to help Oh this dove of the text in this last moment clutched not with angry tal ons It plunged not a savage beak It was a dove helpless defenseless None to help none to help As after a severe storm in the morn lag you go out and find birds dead on the ground so this dead bird of tIle tex makes me think of that awful storm that swept the earth on cruci fixion day when the wrath of God and the malice of man and this fury of devils wrestled beneath the three crosses As we sang just now Well might the sun in d rknesj hide And shut his glories in When Christ the mighty Maker died For man the creatures slit But I come now to speak of this sec ond bird of the text We must not let that fly away until we have examined it The priest the second bird tied it to the hyssop branch and then plunged it in the blood of the first bird Ah that is soul plunged for cleansing in Savior s blood There is not enough ter the Atlantic and Pacific to away our smallest sin Sin is such an outrage on Gods universe that nothing but blood can atone for it You know that life is in the blood and as the life had been forfeited nothing could buy it back but blood What was it that was sprinkled on the doorposts when the destroying angel went through the land Blood What was it that went streaming from the altar of ancient sacrifice Blood What was it that the priest carried into the holy of holies making intercession for Blood What was it that Jesus sweat in the Garden of Geth semane Great drops of blood What docs the wine in the sacramental cup signify Blood What makes the robes of the righteous iti Heaven so fair They arc washed in the blood of the Lamb What is it that cleanses all our pollution The blood of Jesus Christ that cleanseth from all sin I hear somebody saying I do not like such a sanguinary religion as that Do you think it is very wise for the patient to tell the doctor I do not like the medicine you have given me If he wants to be cured he had better take the medicine Lord God hums offered us a balm it is very foolish for us to say 1 dont like that balm We had bet ter take it and be saved But you do not oppose the shedding of blood in other directions and for other ends If a hundred thousand men go out to battle for their country and have to lay down their lives for free institutions is there anything ignoble about that No you say glorious sacrifice rather And is there ignoble in the idea that the Lord Jesus Christ by the shedding of His blood delivered not only one land but all lands and all ages from bondages introducing men by millions and into the liberty of the sons of God Is there anything ignoble about that As this second bird of the text was plunged in the blood of the first bird so we must be washed in the blood of Christ or go polluted forever Let the water and the blood From thy side a healing flood Be or sin the double cure Save from wrath and make me pure I notice now that as soon as this sec pnd bird was dipped in the blood of the first bird the priest unloosened it and it was free froe of wing and free of foot It could whet its beak on any tree branch it chose It could peck the grapes of any vineyard it chos It was free a type of our souls after we have washed in the blood of the Lamb We can go where we will aud do what we will You say Had you not qualify that No for I that in conversation the will is changed and the man will not will that which is wrong There is in our religion A sin is a state of slavery A state of pardon is a state of emancipation The hammer of Gods grace knocks the hopples from the wrist opens the door into a landscape all ashimmer with fountains and abloom with gardens is freedom If a man has become a Christian he no more afraid of Sinai The of Sinai do not frighten him You have on some August day seen two thunder showers meet One cloud from this mountain and another from that mountain coming nearer and nearer together and responding to each other crash to crash thunder to thunder boom boom And then the clouds break and the pour and they are emptied perhaps into the very same stream that comes down so red at your feet that it seems as Jf all the carnage of the storm battle has been emptied into it So in this Bible I see two storms gather one above Sinai the other above Calvary and they respond one the to flash thunder to thunder boom boom Sinai thunders soul that sinneth it shall die Calvary responds save them from going down to the pit for I have found ransom Sinai says Woe Calvary Mercy Mercy and then the clouds burst and empty their into one torrent and it comes flowing to our feet red with the of our which if thy soul be plunged lilac the bird in the text Jt shall go forth free freel Oh I wish all people to understand this that when a man becomes a Christian he does not become a slave but that he lecomes a free man that he has larger liberty afterhe be comes a child of God than before he became a child of God Gen Fisk said that lie once stood at a slave where an old Christiau minister was I rop soldier waistrose templesyet sky took mv the

ulcered all over He has rheum in his eyes lIe is sick and wasted He is in rags Every time he puts down his swollen feet he cries Oh the pain He sees a fountain by tbo roadside under a tree and he crawls up to that fountain and says I must wash Here I may cool my ul Here I may get rested Ho stoops down and scoops up in the palm of his hands enough water to slake his thirst and that is all gone Then he stoops down and begins to wash his eyes and the rheum is all gone Then he puts in his swollen feet and the swelling is gone Then willing no longer to be only half cured he plunges in and his whole body is laved in the stream and he gets upon the bank well Mantime the owner of the mansion up yonder comes down walking through time ravine with his only son and he sacs the bundle of rags and asks Whose rags are these A voice from the fountain says Those are my rags Then says the master to his son Go up to the house and get the best new suit you can find and bring it down And he brings down the clothes and the beggar is clothed in them and he looks around and says I was filthy but now I am clean Iwas ragged but now I am robed I blind but now I see Glory ba to the owner of that mansion and glory be to that son who brought me that suit of clothes and glory be to this fountain where I have washed and where all who will and be clean Where sin grace doth much more abound The bird has awayThe this bird when it was loosened and this is bird loose from your grasp which way does it fly Up What are wings for To fly with Is there anything in the suggestion of the direction taken by that bird to indicate which way wo ought to go Rise my soul and stretch thy wings Thy better portion trace Rise from transitory things To Heaven thy native place Wo should be going Heavenward That is the suggestion nut I know that we have a great many drawbacks before and although you want to be going Heavenward you are constantly discouraged But I supposo when that bird went out of the priests hands ifc went by inflections sometime stoop ing A bird does not shoot directly up but this is the motion of a bird So the soul soars toward God rising up in love and sometimes depressed by

May Soar Upward Dm tin Turtle hove From a scene of old Dr Talmage in this sermon presents the old Gospel under another phase Text Leviticus xiv 57 And the priest shall command that one of the birds be killed in an earth en vessel over running water As for the living bird he shall take it and the cedar wood and the scarlet and the hyssop and shall dip them and the living bird in the blood of the bird that was killed over the running water and he shall sprinkle upon him that is to be cleased from the times and shall pronounce him clean and shall let the living bird loose into the open field The Old Testament to very many people is a great slaughter house strewn with the blood and Lones and horns and hoofs of butchered ani mals It offends their sight it dis gusts their taste it actually nauseates the stomach But to the intelligent Christian the Old Testament is a mag nificent corrdor through which Josus advances As lie appears at the other end of the corridor we can only see the outlines of His character coming near er we can de cry His features list when at last He steps upon the plat form of the New Testament amid the torches of and apostles the orchstras of Heaven announce Him with a blast of minstrelsy that wakes up Bethlehem at midnight There were a great many cages of birds brought downs to Jususalum for sacrifice sparrows and pigeons and turtle doves I can luar them now whistling caroling and singing all around about the temple When a leper was to be cured of his leprosy in order to his cleansing two of these birds were taken one of theta was slain over an earthen vassal of run fling water that is clear fresh water and then the bird was killed Another bird was then taken tied to a hyssop branch and plunged by the priest into the blood of the first bird and then with this hyssop branch birdtipped the priest would sprinkle the leper seven times untie tins bird from the hyssop branch and it would go soaring into the heavens Now open your eyes wide my dear brethren and sisters and see that the first bird meant Jesus and that the second bird means your own souL There is nothing more suggestive than a caged bird In the down of its breast you can see the glow of climes in the sparkle of its eye you can see the flash of distant seas in its voice you can hear the song it learned in the wildwood It is a child of the sky in captivity Now the dear bird of my text captured from the air suggests the Lord Jesus who came down from the realms of light and glory lIe once stool in the sunlight of Heaven He was the favorite of the land He was the kings son Whenever a victory was gained throne set up he was the first to hear it He could not walk incognito along the streets for all Heaven knew him For eternal ages he had dwelt amid the mighty popula tions of Heaven No holiday had ever dawned on the city when lie was ab sent lIe was not like an earthly prince occasionally issuing from a ralace heralded by a troop of clanking horseguards No he was greeted everywhere as a brother and all was perfectly at home with him But one day there came word to the palace that an insignificant island was in rebellion and was cutting itself to pieces with anarchy I hear an angel say Let it perish The Kings realm is vast enough without the island The tributes to the King are large enough We can spare Not so said the Prince the Kings son and I see Him push out one day under the protest of great company He starts straight for the rebellious island lIe lands amid the execrations of its inhabitants that grow in violence until the malice of earth had smitten Him and the spirits of the lost world put their black wings over His dying head and shut the sun out The hawks and vul tures swooped upon this dove text until head and breast and feet ran under the flocks and beaks of darkness the poor thing per ished No wonder it was a bird that was taken and slain over an earthen vessel of running water It was a child of the skies It typified Him who came down from Heaven in ag ony and blood to save our souls Blessed be His glorious name forever- I notice also in my text that the bird that was slain was a clean bird The text demanded that it should be The raven was never sacrificed nor the cormorant nor the vulture It must be a clean bird says the text and it suggests the pure holy Jesus Although He spent His boyhood in the worst village on earth although blasphemies were poured in to His ear enough to have poisoned any one else He stands before the world a perfect Christ Herod was cruel Henry VIII was un clean but point out a fault of our King Answer me ye boys who knew Him on the streets of Nazareth An swer me ye miscreants who saw Him die The skeptical tailors have tried for 1800 years to find out one hole in this seamless garment but they have not found it The most ingenious and eloquent infidel of this day in the last line of his book all of which denounces Christ says All ages must proclaim that among the sons of men there is none greater than Jesus So let this bird of the text be feet fragrant with the dew that it pressed its beak carrying sprig of thyme and frankincense its feathers washed in showers 0 thou spotless Son of God impress with Thy innocence Thou lovely source of true delight Whom I unseen adore Unveil Thy beauties to my sight That I may love Thee more I remark alsp in regard to this first bird mentioned in tine text that it was a defenseless bird When the eagle is assaulted with its iron beak it strikes like a bolt against its adver sary This was a dove or a sparrow we do not know just which Take the dove or pigeon in your hand and the pecking of its beak on your hand makes you laugh at the feebleness of its assault The reindeer after it is down may fell you with its antlers The ox after you think it is dead may break your leg in its death struggle The harpooned whale inf last agony may crush a as leprosyseven evangelists thAt southern ora Heaven withoutthat ofmy blooduntil Jesusthe cleanits i fr ll fJ I 1 you in the coil of the unwinding rop But this was a dove or a Kpairow per fcctly harmless perfectly defenseless type of Him who said I have trod the wine press alone and there was none to help None to help murderers have it all their own way Where was the sol in the Roman regiment who swung his sword in the defense of the Divine Martyr Did they put one drop of oil tin His gashed feet Was there one in all that crowd manly and enougli to stand up for him Were the miscreants at the cross any more interfered with in their work of spik ing Him fast than the carpenter in his shop driving a nail through a pine board The women cried but there was no balm in their tears None to help None to help O my Lord Jesus none to help The wave of up to the arch of His up to His to His to His to his none to help Ten tlfbusand times ten thou sand angels in the sky ready at to plunge into the bloody and strike back the hosts of dark ness yet none to help none to help Oh this dove of the text in this last moment clutched not with angry tal ons It plunged not a savage beak It was a defenseless None to help none to help As after a severe storm in the you go out and find birds dead on the ground so this dead bird of the tex makes me think of that awful storm that swept the earth on cruci fixion day when the wrath of God and the malice of man and the fury of devils wrestled beneath the three crosses As we sang just now Well might the sun in d rknes3 hide And shut his glories in When Christ the mighty Maker died For man the sin But I come now to speak of this bird of the text We must not let that fly away until we have The priest the second bird tied it to the hyssop branch and then plunged it in the blood of the first bird Ah that is my soul plunged for cleansing in the Saviors blood There is not enough wa ter in the Atlantic and Pacific oceans to wash away our smallest sin Sin is such an outrage on Gods universe that nothing but blood can atone for it You know that life is in the blood and as the life had been forfeited nothing could buy it back but blood What was it that was sprinkled on the doorposts when the destroying angel went through the land Blood What was it that went streaming from the altar of ancient sacrifice Blood What was it that the priest carried into the holy of holies making intercession for the people Blood What was it that Jesus sweat in the Garden of Geth semane Great drops of blood What does the wine in the sacramental cup signify Blood What makes the robes of the righteous in Heaven so fair They are washed in the blood of the Lamb What is it that cleanses all our pollution The blood of Jesus Christ that cleanse th from all sin I hear somebody saying I do not like such a sanguinary religion as that Do you think it is very wise for the patient to tell the doctor I do not like the medicine you have given me If he wants to be cured he had better take the medicine My Lord God has offered us a balm and it is very foolish for us to say I dont like that balm We had take it and be saved But you do not oppose the shedding of blood in other directions and for other ends If a hundred thousand men go out to battle for their country and have to lay down their lives for free institutions is there anything ignoble about that No you say glorious sacrifice rather And is there any thing ignoble in the idea that the Lord Jesus Christ by the shedding of His blood delivered not only one land but all lands and all ages from bondages introducing men by millions and into the liberty of the sons of God Is there anything ignoble about thatAs this second bird of the plunged in the blood of the first bird so we must be washed in the blood of Christ or go polluted forever Let the water and the blood From thy side a healing flood Be of sin the double cure Save from wrath and make me pure I notice now that as soon as this sec ond bird was dipped in the blood of the first bird the priest unloosened it and it was free free of wing and free of foot It could whet its beak on any tree branch it chose It could peck the grapes of any vineyard it chose It was free a type of our souls after we have washed in the blood of the Lamb We can go where we will and do what we wilL You say Had you not bet ter qualify that No for I remem ber that in conversation the will is changed and the man will not will that which is wrong There is no in our religion A state of sin is a state of slavery A state of pardon is a state of emancipation The hammer of Gods grace knocks the hopples from the wrist opens the door into a landscape all ashimmer with fountains and abloom with gardens It is freedom If a man has become a Christian he is no more afraid of Sinai The of Sinai do not frighten him You have on some August day seen two thunder showers meet One cloud from this mountain and another from that mountain coming nearer and nearer together and responding to each other crash to crash thunder to thunder boom boom And then the clouds break and the pour and they arc emptied perhaps into the very same stream that comes down go red at your feet that it seems as if all the carnage of the storm battle has been emptied into it So in this Bible I see two storms gather one above Sinai the other above Calvary and they respond one to the to flash thunder to thunder boom I boom Sinai thunders The soul that sinneth it shall die Calvary responds save them from going down to for I have found a ransomSinai Wool Woe Calvary an swers Mercy Mercy and then the clouds burst and empty their into one torrent and it comes flowing to our feet red with the of our Lord in which if thy soul be plunged like the bird in the text it shall go forth free free Oh I wish all people to understand this that when a man becomes a Christian he does not become a slave but that he lecomes a free man that he has larger liberty afterhe a child of God than before he became a child pf God Gen Tisksaid that Tie once stood at

and says I will buy that man I bid for him my Beth lehem manger I bid for him my hun ger on the mountain I bid for him my aching head I bid for him my fainting heart 1 bid tar him all my wounds A voice from the throne of God says It is enough Jesus has bought him Bought with a price The purchases complete It is done Why is not a man free when he gets rid of his sins The sins of the tongue gone the sins of action gone the sins of the mind gone All the of 30 40 50 70 years more in the soul than the malaria that floated in the atmosphere a thousand years ago for when my Lord Jesus pardons a man He purdons him and there is no halfway work about it Here see a beggar going along the turnpike road He is worn out with disease He stiff in his joints He is ulcered all over lIe has rheum in his eyes He is sick and wasted He is in rags Every time he puts down his swollen feet he cries Oh the pain He sees a fountain by the roadside under a tree and he crawls up to that fountain and says I must wash Here I may cool my ul cars Here I may get rested He stoors down and scoops up in tine palm of his hands enough water to slake his thirst and that is all gone Then he stoops down and begins to wash his eyes and the rheum is all gone Then he puts in his swollen feet and the swelling is gone Then willing no longer to be only half cured he plunges in and his whole body is laved in the stream and he gets upon the bank well Meantime the owner of the mansion up yonder comes down walking through the ravine with his only son and he sees tho bundle of rags and asks Whose rags are these A voice from the fountain says Those are my rags Then says the master to his son Go up to the house and get the best new suit you can find and bring it down And he brings down the clothes and the beggar is clothed in them and he looks around and says I was filthy but now I am clean Iwas ragged but now I am robed I blind but now I see Glory ba to the owner of that mansion and glory be to that son who brought me that suit of clothes and glory be to this fountain where I have washed and where all who will may wash and be clean Where sin abounded grace doth much more abound The bird has been dipped now let it fly away The next thing I noticed about this bird when it was loosened and this is To fly with Is there anything in the suggestion of the direction taken by that bird to indicate which way wo ought to go Rise my soul and stretch thy wings Thy better portion trace Rise from transitory things To Heaven thy native place We should be going Heavenward That is the suggestion But I know that we have a great many drawbacks You had them this morning perhaps going Heavenward you are constantly discouraged But I suppose when that bird went out of the priests hands it up but this is the motion of a bird So the soul soars toward God rising up in love and sometimes depressed by trial It doos not always go in the direction it would like to But the main course is right There is one passage in
