You know, my brother, that a hundred times you have boon kopt out of sin by tho memory of sucft a scone as 1 havo been dosorlbing. You have often had raging temptations, but you know what has hold you with su pernatural grasp. 1 tell you, a man who has had such a good homo as that never getsovor it, nnd a man who has had a- bad early homo never gets over It. Again, I remark, that homo is a typo of honvon. To bring in to that home Christ left His home. Far up and far back In tho history of heaven there on mo a period when its most illustrious citizen was about to absent Himself. IIo was not RoiiiK to sail from boach to bofich; wo have often domf that. IIo was not going to put out from ono hemisphere to ahothor hemis phere; many of us havo done thai, But Ho was to sail from world to world, llio spaces unexplorod/liud the Immensities tui travolod. No worla had over hailed heaven, and so far as wo'^know heaven had never hailed any other world. I think that tho windows and tho balconies wero throngod; andcthat thov.pearly boaoli was crowded with thoso who had oomo to see Him sail out tho harbor of IJght into tho ocoau be yond. - - Out, nnd out, nnd out, nnd on, and on, nnd on, nnd down, and down, aud down' Ho sped, until ono night, with only ono to greet Him, ho arrived.

Bond all imagination and calculation, and ', as some think, that great conter in tho distance is heaven, Christ came far from homo whon Ho came hero. Havo you over thought of tho homesickness of Christ?, Somo of yon know what homesickness is, when you have .been only, a fow weeks ab? sent from tho domestic clrclo.
