The speaker is Mary Magdalene, one of the inhabitants of 3Magdala, -'he who was possessed of seven devils. She was the sinner in the house of Simon. the Phari see, who washed the Saviour's feet with her tears, anointed them with precious ointment and covered them with kisses. When Simon objects the Master rebukes him with the story of the two delltorc, one forgiven much. of the other little. She became one of the attendants of the Mas ter. She followed Him from Calvary to Jerusalem to the scene of the crucifixion. Early the third after the crucifixion, iwith the ivife of Cleophas. she goes to the sep ulcher to see His body. She finds the tomb empty. and then cries out in agon- "They have taken away my Lord." What a change there is wrought in Mary Magda lene. She has been a sinner of the worst sort. Tradition makes her a servant n the house of sin in the place where she lived, but she has become a saint, and wherever the gospel has been preached her story has been told.

L Kindred texts. I have been looking up the Bible these past days and have been greatly integcsted to see how many kin r -1;-7 t. hiare to be found in First, Adam and Eve. They are in para dise; everything, about them is beautiful. Even God Himself saw that it was very) good. The music of the birds is the sweet-: est, the fragrance of the flower is the best; there is no curse upon Eden, when sudden ly the cloud appears, the moving of the serpent is heard and there is a great change. Adam and Eve are driven thither from the garden. Genesis 3: 23-24, "Thei-e fore the Lord God sent him forth from the Garden of Eden to till the ground from whence he was taken. So He drove out the man, and He placed at the gate of the Garden of Eden cherubim and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep. the way of the tree of life." Seconid, the Ark of th'e Covenant. This was a small chest overlaid with gold. fou and a half feet long, two feet nine inches] wide and the same measure in heighth. Within it wxere the tables of the law. It was carried by the priests as occasion re qiiredl from place to place. So sacred was it that it was death for any one to loo upon it but the priests, and so it kas carc fullv covered. It represented to them the visl>c precence of Jehovah. It was car red about by the children of Israieh on their traxeis through the desert as the' ctered the channel of the Jordan, and was taken thirteen times around .Jericho' in si:: days, but now the Philistines have ome up against the children of Israel and the ark is taken. Old Eli is waiting for idings of the conflict. His scat is by the road side that lhe may hear the meore speedily. At last there is a great shout of orror, and ax man of benjamin is seen run ing, with his clothes rent and earth upon[ his head. There is irguble, but who can magine the extent of it. ILsteni to him as e cries out, 'Israel has fled before the Phii'stines," and the fac~e of old Eli nales. Iorxi and Phinehras lie sIaiii, ana the ' old main 'egisis to shake in an ig~ny, but or6r of horrors, the ark of God is taken!I . Samuel 4: 18, "And it came to pass when he madle mention of the ark of God that he fell from off the seat backward to the side of the gate, and his neck braket nd he died; for lie was an old man and I bea' y. And he had judged Israel forty -ers." Tell us that the sun will not shine r gain, that the rain will not fall, that the I stars are dealf, that the moon will refuse o shine, but you will bring to us no such tidings as camxe to Israel when the news I was carried that the ark was taken. . It is 1 xs if God had departed from our own land. t is an awful thing to be without hope I nd without God in the world. C Third, the Lost'Bible. During the reign f Josiah, who began to reign when he was ~ eight years old, the repairs to the temple ~ ere begun, and in the midst of this work ' the book of the law was found. 2 Kings 22: 8, "And Hilkiah, the high priest, said ' mto Shaphan. the scribe, I have found the I book of the laiw in the house of the Lord." r And Hilkiah gave the book to Shaphan E nd he readl it. This was dou'otless the I er book which MIoses had commanded to C e placed in this sacred spot. Deutero- 8 omy 31: 26.

"H-eaven and e ath shall pa-'s away, but 31y~ word shall never pass away." 'However, sonic of us a hve lost our Bible.

It would be an twful thing for us to have to say, "They iave taken away my Lord." IL The text again. Let us now think to ;ether especially of Christ's care. There ire some texts very like it in the Bible. as For example, "Take not Thy holy spirit rom me,' "Restore unto ne the 3o of ray salvation," "Without God. wit iont ope in the world," for only those can ap preciate Mary's position ivho have been in he same place with her, and the niost of us have been there, and there have been imes without number wher we felt that ill was lost, that our position was hope ess. Notice first of all the weakness of Mlary's faith. If she had but stoppcd to onsider she would have remembered His vord that He must rise again. If in the lark hour of trial we would pause for a rio nent to think of His messages ve shall be Ielivered from this awful lear. Oh. that ed would strengthen our faith in the our'of trial. Notice also the strength of ier lo,'e. Nothing could keep her .way rom Christ; the Jevish soldiers had no error f& her; she would see His body. for he loved that. There are certain things :hat cause as to lose conscious fellowmhip ith Christ. First, physical weakness. Whenever the body is weak be sure to watch and pray, For the de-:il will easily overthrow us at this time. 4cond. wcakness of faith, but since faith Sthe gt of God it becomes wea on'y because of lack of exercise, and it is not iecessary that any of us should fail be :ause of this.
