cried out for the Father who bad
never before forsaken Him. 1 be

"I wlnh sometimes that I could
preach the story of the Cross to
hearts that had never heard It be- '
fore. We have heard it so often
that our hearts are grown cal
lous. And yet, thank Cod, tie
old story has never lost Its appeal.
To the Jew. tied to his traditions.
It Is a stumbling block. To the -
Greek, unregeuerate, it in fool

In minor matters of doctrine and
yet offer a saving gospel to a soul

that any church which denios the
efficacy of the Cross of Christ can
hold out hope of dualising and of ,
salvation to a sln-strlcken heart..

Cross Is the only hope of that son

The atonement is the most won - :

It is u very sunburst of Cod's Im

We see evidences of Cod's love In
our Joys and in our adversities,
but not until that love (lowed ov
er the Cross of Calvary did it
reucli its llood. its climax, its con- '
summation.
"I know that If 1 can ooly J
bring a sinner to the foot of the
Cross, there Is redemption for
him In a look at the Crucified
One. When a man really sees
Jesus lu all the agony and blood
of t 1k* atonement and realizes that
all this suffering was for hint, he
will fall at the feet of his Re
deemer and live. *1 died that
thou mayest live' is the eternal
message of Christ of Calvary to
the heart that's lost. W ? can ,?
never fathom all the depths of ,
that Divine Mystery. Hut we can ;
know it was Cod seeking to take
upon Himself all the penalty of
our sins that we might lie restored
to His Image. And no man can j

Mai lee Me* at the t niMi
"1 remember that in my first
pastorate there were three fami
lies, all brothers-in-law. that were
at daggers point when I came to
the pulpit. They did not speak,
tine uf them had fired a pistol at
one of the others, and the ball
had passed through the apron of
a lltth; glil. The father of one
of them, past his three score years
and ten, took me aside soon after
lie met me and implored me not
to say anything or do anything
that would Irritate or expose this
old sore In the community, but to
let hi in go to his grave iu peace.
And yet I saw those three fami
lies meet In that church one day
and route forward to. ask mutual
forgiveness and to effect complete
reconciliation. When tiny came
to the foot of the Cross and saw
to what lengths Divine Love had
gone to effect their reconciliation
to Coil their own petty differences
and causes of offense faded into
insiguillcance and it was easy for
them to be reconciled with one
another.
"Long ago 1 heard this story
and It has stayed with me through
all the years: A sou went out from
home Into a wicked world of sin.
and as sons will do in such cases,
Weill from had to worse. At last
came a message one day that lie
boy's father was desperately ill.
but the boy paid no heed to it.
though the message was rc|n*ated
with urttings that he come at once.
Then came news that the father
was dead, and the hoy returned
but merely as a matter of form
and as a mark of respect, his heart
still hard aud untouched. He
heard the clods fall on his fath
er's coffin without a tear. And
then, when the funeral was over,
lie was about to return to his
wild companions aud his wilder
ways, despite the pleadings of
mother and sisters that he remain
with them and forsake his caro
lers life. Seeing all pleadings
were vain, the mother then
told the hoy that before lie went
she wanted him to hear his fath
er's will read. Aud ut Hie Iw-ad
of the. list of those to whom the
father had left Ills property wris
the name of the wayward son,
with a bequest double that left to
the other children.
" 'Why did father do this?' the
boy apked.
"And when the mother ex
plained the bequest, the hoy said:
" 'Oh, mother, did he love me
in spite of my sin?' and his heart
at last waa melted to tears of re
pentance aud grief.
"Sinner friend, God has made
provision for you in the will of
His love. If you are here touight
with a past that haunts you I
plead with you come to the Cross
and be healed and he saved!"
