Further I remark: The last great intullment paid for our .redemption ns the demise of Christ. The world as seen many dark days. Many sumcrs ago there was a eery dark day rLen the sun was eclipsed. The fowl t noonday went to their pcrcli, and re felt a gloom hb we looked at the stronomlcul wonder. It was a dark ay in London when the plague was t its height, and the dead with uncovrcd faces tvere taken in open curts nd dumped in the trenches. It was dark day when tho earth opened and isbon sank, hut the darkest day since ho creation of the world was when the arnago of Calvary was enacted. It was about noon when the curtain egan to be drawn. It was the swiugig of a great gloom all around the eavens. Goil hung it. A? when there i a dead one in the house jou bow he shutters or turn the lattice, so lod in the afternoon shut the windows t the world. As it Is appropriate to hrow a blaclt pall upon the coffin as t pnsscs along, so it was appropriate hat everyt hing should be somber that ay as the great hearse of the earth oiled on, bearing the corpse of the ling. A man's last hours are ordilarilv lcept sacred,. Ilowever you may iave hated or caricatured a man,when on hear he is dying silence puts Its anils on your lips, and you would iave a loathing for the man who could tend by a deathbed making faces and cofllng. But Christ in His lust hour annot be left alone. What, pursuing liin yet after so long a pursuit? You iave been drinking His tears. Do you rant to drink His blood? They come p closely, so that notwithstanding the Inrknoss they can glut their revenge ritli the contortions of IT is countelance. They examine His feet. They rant to feel for themselves whether hose feet are really spiked. They put ut their hands and touch the spikes nil bring them back wet with blood nd wipe tliem on their garments. Von.cn stand there and weep, but can o no good. It is no place for the toner-hearted women.

It is the groanig of the dying Son of God' Look, rhat a scene! Look, world, at what du have done'! I lift the covering from the malreateil Christ to let you count the ounds and estimate the cost. Oh, 'hen tho nails went through Christ's Lgut nana raai Dotight your hands, 'ith all their power to work and lift ud write! Whan the nails went hrough Christ's right foot and hrist's left foot, that bought your cet, with all their power to walfc or un or climb.

When the Atlantic cable was lost in S6.1, do you remember that the Great Eastern and tho Mbdway and the Alany went out to find it? Thirty times hey sank the grapnel 2*/, miles deep a water. After awhile they found the able and brought it to the surface. Jo sooner had it been brought to tho urface thun they lifted a shout of exltation, but the cable slipped back gain Into the water and was lost, 'hen for two weeks more they swept he sea with the grappling hooks, and t last they found the cable, and they rought it up in silence. They fastened t this time. Then with great excitelont they took one end of the cable o the electrician's room to see if there rora rually any life In it, and when bey saw a spark and knew that a mesuge could be sent then every hat was fted, and the rockets flew and tho una sounded, until all the vessels on be expedition knew, and the eontionts were lashed together. Well, my rlends, Sabbath after Sabbath Gospel lessengers hare come searching down or your souls. We have swept the sea ,'lth the grappling hook of Christ's lospel. Again and again wo have bought that yeu were at the surface, nd we began to rejoice over your reeuiption, but at the moment of our ladness you sank back again into the rorld and back again into sin. To-day a oorne with the Gospel searching for our soul. Wo apply tho cross of hrist first to see whether there Is any fe left in you, while all around the eople stand, looking- to see whether he work will be done, and the angels f God bend down and witness, and, h, if now we could see only ons spark f love and hope and faith we would end up a shout that would bs heard n the battlements of Heaven, and two rorlds would keep jubilee because L?mmunicatlon Is open between Christ nd the soul, and your nature that has een sunken In sin has been lifted Into ic light and joy of the Gospel.
