many cars ago a weary one went up
one of the ills of Asia Minor. and with
two legs on his back cried out to all the
world, offering to carry tlwlr nine and sor—
rows. They pursued him. They sin
him in the face. They mocked him. When
he groanod, they gronned. They shook
their lists at him. They spat on him.
They hounded him as though "he were a
wild Mast. His healing of the sick, his
sight giving to the blind, his mercy to the
outcast silenced not the revenge of the
world. His prayers and bonedlotions Wore
lost in that whirlwind of execrution:
“Away with him! Away with him i”

Ah, it was not merely the two pieces of
wood that he carried. It was the trans-
gmssions of the race, the anguish of the
ages, the wrath of God, the sorrows of
boil, the stupendous interest of on unond-

pore. No wonder that be crouched under

everlasting hills tremble, and the dead

“If it be possible, lot this cup pass from

We heard the click of the hoofs of the
white horses on which victors rode and
the clapping of the cymbals of eternal trlv
umph. And, while in our sloop we were
glad that all our sorrows were over and
burdens done with, the tbronoof God grow
