“Surely he bath borne oar griefW and

“Behold, we go up to Jerusalem,

delivered unto the Gentiles, and
shall be mocked and spitefully en

At this holy season the church sings,
“O Sacral Head now wounded,” “A
Lamb goes forth aud bears the
guilt,” “O spotless Lamb of Oval,”
etc. But ou>he third day the Lord
rides from the dead. He gathers
his disciples together. He eats and
drinks with them after hto reaurreo-
Hon. Finally, on Ascension Day,
he ascends to that glory which he
had with the Father when the fonn
duttons of the world were laid.
Fellow Christians, the church year
is established thereto that yon may
be transformed into the image of
Christ, tf yon are born again in the
washing of regeneration, and have
been awakened out of the old death
and carnal security, then, for the
first time, do yon enter truly upon
} your Passion season. How much of
the old A<lam remains iu us! It
most be placed under the croaa aud
no the cross, must wear the crown
of thorns, must die anti be buried.
Tliis is tbc bitter Passion labor.
We are so mnch In love with self.
Even yon who have been aroused

the flret love of the Lord, have
much love of aelf io yon. Many

' Anttimn is the season of frnit and
harvest iu the natoral year. The
Messing of God is on the fields.
That which was sown and grew, now
ripens. On Trinity Sunday it Is
proclaimed to all the world : “Except
a man be born again, he cap not
enter the kingdom of God.” Now
follow the fruits of the new birth.
In all tribulation our conversation
mast be in heaven. Lazarus in bis
poverty preaches Ibis to an. We
must be an our guard against that
hypocrisy which draws nigh to the
Lord with the mouth, whilst the
heart and walk are far from him.
Thin we perceive in the parable of
the Great 8upper. The leve and
fidelity of the Lord in seeking sin

parables of the lost sheep and the
