If jealousy and pride and lust and worldliness lurk about, they wre chained, and have a very small sweep. Jesus throws upon the soul the fragrance of a summer garden as he comes in, saying, "I am the Rose of Sharon," and he submerges it with the glory of the spring morning as he saya, "I am the light." Oh, how much that grace did for the three Johns! It took John Bunyan, the foulâ€"mouthed, and made him John Bunyan, the immortal dreamer. It took John Newton, the Infide!l sailor, and in the midst of the hurricane made him cry out, "My mother‘s God, have mercy upon me!"‘ It took John Summerfield from a life of sin, and by the hand of a Chrisâ€" tian maker of edgeâ€"tools led him into the pulpit, that burns still with the light of that Christian eloquence which charmed thousands to the Jesus whom be ar bu H Beautiful and Abundant, It Is the First and Last Necessityâ€"â€"â€"The Energies Would Fail Without It. h 1 $ Washington report sa ra tu ns It 18 n La K r1at David calls C It extirâ€" s hateful and )1 h.

So far from that, I declare the grace of God to be the first and the last necessity. It is food we must take, or starve into an eternity of famâ€" ine. It is clothing, without which we freeze to the mast of infinite terror. It is the plank, and the only plank, on which we can float shoreward. It is the ladder, and the only ladder, on which we can climb up into the light. It is a positive necessity for the soul. You can tell very easily what the effect would be if a person refused to take salt into the body. The energies would fail, the lungs would struggle with the air, slow fevers would crawl through the brain. the heart would flutter, and Have you not been in enough trouble to have that work go on?

But, I remark again. that the grace of God is like the salt in its preserâ€" vative quality. You know that ealt absorbs the moisture of articles of food and infuses them with brine, which preserves them for a long while. Sait Is the great antiputrefactor of the world. Experimenters, in preserving food. have tried sugar, and smoke, and airâ€"tight jJars, and everything else; but as long as the world stands Christ‘s words will be suggestive, and men will admit that, as a great preservative, "salt is good." But for the grace of God, the earth would have become a stale carcass long before this. That grace is the only preservative of laws. and constitutions and literature. Just as soon as a government loses this salt of divine grace it perishes. ‘The philâ€" osophy of this day, so far as it is anâ€" tagonistic to this religion, putrefies and stinks.

At best the disciples had but imperfect!ly understood the nature of the Son of God and the work He came to accomplish.
