Your first curiosity is to know why the robes of Christ are odorous with myrrh. This was a bright leafed Abyssinian plant It was trif oliated. The Greeks, Egpytians, Homans and Jews bought and sold it at a high price. The first present that was ever given to Christ was a sprig of myrrh, thrown on his infantile bed in Beth lehem, and the last gift that Christ ever had was myrrh pressed into the cup of his crucifixion. The natives. would taice a stove endftrutM ct and then it woull exufe a msbs would saturate all the ground be neath. This gum was used for purposes of merchandise. One piece of it. no larger than a chestnut, would whelm a whole room wih dors. It was put in closets, in chests, in draw ers, in rooms, and its perfume adhered almost interminably to anything that Was anywhere near it. So when in my text I read that Christ s garments smell of myrrh, I immediately con clude the exquisite sweetness of Jesus. I know that to many he is only like ny historical person; another jonn toward, another philanthropic Ober- another Uonfucius, a grand sud- stead. and to purchase your disenr thrallmenfc, took the aloes, the un savory aloes, the bitter aloes? THE PECtTUAB QUALITIES OF CASSIA. Your third curiosity is to know why these garments of Christ are odorous with cassia. This was a plant that grew in India and the adjoining islands. You do not care to hear what kind of a flower it had or what kind of a stalk. It is enough for me to tell you that it was used medicinally. In that land and in that age, where they knew but little about pharmacy, cassia was used to arrest many forms of dis ease. So when in my text we And Quist eeming with garments tfeot smell of cassia, it suggests to me Ihe healing and curative power of the Son of God. "Oh," you say, "now you have a superfluous idea. W" are Why ivory palaces 1 And your dear little children that went out from you Christ did not let one of them drop as he lifted them. He did not wrench one of them from you. No. They went as from one they loved well to one whom they loved better. VL I should take your little child and press its soft face against my rough cheek, I might keep it a little while; but when you, the mother, came along, it would struggle to go with you. And so yoa stood holding your dying child when Jesus passed by in the ii l'ni room, ana tne uiue one sprang out to greet him. That is all Your Christian dead did not go down into the dust and the gravel and the mud.

Suppose a man were sick, and there was a phial on his mantelpiece with medicine he knew would cure him. and he refused to take it, what would you say of himt He is a suicide. And what do you say of that man who, sick in sin, has the healing medicine of God's grace offered him, and re fuses to take it? H he dies he is a sui cide. People talk as though God took a man and iftd him outto darkness and death, as though he brought him up to the cliffs and then pushed him off. Oh, no. When a man ; is lost it is not because God pushes him off; it is because he jumps off. In olden times a suicide was buried at the cross roads, and the people were accustomed to throw stenesupon his grave. So it seems to me there may oe in this house a man wno is de stroying his own soul, and as though the angels of God were here to bury him at the point where the roads of life and death cross each other, throw ing upon the grave the broken law and a great pile of naisimproved privileges, so that those going may look at the fearful mound, and learn what a sui . cide it is when an immortal soul, for which Jesus died, puts itself out of the way. turn QV THE CCSES BROUGHT ABOUT BT CHRIST.
