A capital lessou Ihis old minister gives up. Out yonder in this house is an atfod woman, the light of heaven in her face. Hhe iYhail way through the door. She hae hei tiii^d on the pearl of the gate.

'My son, Ood will provldo Himself a lamb.' " Thank you. mother, for that short sermon. I could preach baok to you for a miuute or two and say. n?Vor do you fear! I wish I had half as good a htpe of heaven as you have. Do not fear, inotyior. Whatever happens, no harm will ever happen to you. I was going u nA long flight of stairs and I saw an ngod wtymau. very decrepit uud with a rauo, pooping on up. She mad" but very llttl" progress, and I felt very oxuhorant, ar.d I ssldto her, "Why, mother, that Is no way to go upstairs," and I threw my arms around nor aud I carried her up and nut hor down on the iandlng at the ton of the stairs.

The two arms that were stretchod on tho x^oss will l>e flung around you, and you will be hoisted with a glorious lift beyond all weari ness and all struggle. May tho Ood of Abra ham and IartHobe with you until you seo tho Lamb on the hilltops. Now, that ag?d mlnistor has rnndo a sug gestion, and this nged woman has ma do a suggestion. 1 will make a suggestion: Isaac going up tho hill makes me think of tho great safrlfleo. Isaac, tho only son of Abra ham. Jesus, the only son of Ood. On llios^ two "onlys" I build a tearful emphasis. M Isaac! O Jesus! But this last sacrifice wJW a more tremendous one. Wheu tho knife was lifted ovor Calvary there was no voioe that crlod "Stop!" and 110 hand arrested It. Sharp, koon und tromendous it out down through nerve and artery until tho blood sprayed tho facos of tho executioners, aud tho njldday sun dropped a veil of cloud over its face bocause it could not onduro tho spectacle. O Isaac of Mount Moriah! 0 Jesu\i)f Mount Calvary! Belter could God havo thrown away into annihilation a thou sand worlds than to have saorlflod ills only'1 Sou.
