encouragement and peace to the un humbled, human heart. Only the broken-hearted Sinner can be healed, and God’s precious welcome of free grace is for the_ u tterly unworthy, by the death of the Lord Jesus in the place of those who had nothing b u t guilt, and deserved nothing bu t w rath. Ah, dear reader, do you, in anguish of heart, tak e your place th e re ? Do you own yourself such a wreck, in God’s sight?

Sin is not a mere incident in life, and development. It is a horrible thing, even “ th a t abom inable th in g ” which God hates (Jer. 4 4 :4 ). It is rebellion against Him. And yet men go on frowardly in the way of th e ir own h eart, and u tte r words of peace when a man has died. A cemetery implies th a t th is is a GOD- honoring land, b u t th e only place where He is pu t first, by th e m ajority, is on a grave stone! Men do not w ant th e tru th .
