We have it in faultless rhythm and bold imagery and starthng antithesis and rapturous lyric and sweet pastoral and instructive narrative and devoâ€" tional psaim; thoughts expressed in style more solemn than that of Montâ€" gomery, more boid than that of Milâ€" ton, more terrible than that of Dante, more natural than that of Wordsworth. more impassioned than that of Poliok, more tender than that of Cowver, more weird than that of Spenser.

And l many a man who has had in his way some great black rock of trouble has found that they have covered it all over with fowery jasmine running in and out among the crevices,. . These flowers in Christ‘s garden are not, like the sunflower, gaudy in the light, but wherever darkness hovers over a soul that needs to be converted there they stand, night Diooming cereuses. But in Christ‘s garden there are plants that may be better compared to the Mexican cactuo;-thom. without, lovellâ€" ness withinâ€"men with sharp points of character.

You say, *"Why, this flower has been a hundred years gathâ€" ering up for one bloom. and it will be a hundred years more before other petals will come out." But I have to tell you of a plant that was gathering up from all eternity and that 1,900 years put forth its bloom never to wither. It is the passion plant of the cross. Prophets foretold it, Bethicshem shopherds lookâ€" ed upon it in the bud, the rocks shook at its bursting and the dead got up in their winding sheets to see it« fuli bloom. It is a crimson flowerâ€"blood at the roots, blood on the branches, blood on the leaves. Its perfume is to fAll all the nations,. Its breath is heaven.

Where did your asylvms come from? And your hospitals? And your institutions of mercy? Christ planted every one of them: He planted them in his garden. .

When Christ soothed the demoniac of Galilee, He laid the cornerâ€"stone of every lunatic asylum that has ever When Christ soothed the demoniac of Galilee, He laid the cornerâ€"stone of every lunatic asylum that has ever been established.

I know there is some poor fruit i' in it. I know there are some weeds | that ought to be thrown over the ; fence. I know there are some crab apple trees that ought to be cut down. I know there are some wild grapes that ought to be uprooted, but are you going to destroy the whole garden be~ cause of a little gnarled fruit? You will find worm eaten leaves in Fonâ€"| tainebleu and insects that sting in the fairy groves of the Champs Elyâ€" sees. You do not tear down and deâ€" stroy the whole garden because there are a few specimens of gnarled frult.' I have not told you of the better ; tree in this garden and of the better fruit.

If the one apple in Eden killed | Inctrace this one cluster of mercy shalit | I have not told you tree in this garden and fruit. It was planted jus{ salem a good while ago two men carried them. If the one the race this one « restore. Again. the church in my text is appropriately called a garden because it is thoroughly irrigated. No garden could prosper long without plenty of water. I have seen a garden in the midst of a desert, yet blooming and luxuriant. All around was dearth and barrenness, but there were pipes, aquedudts, reaching from this garden up the mountains, and through these aqueducts the water came streaming down and tossing up into beautiful fountains until every root and leaf and flower was Saturated. That is like the church The church is a garden in the midst of a great desert of sin and suffering, but it is well irrigated, for "our eyes are unto the hills from whence cometh our help." From the mountains of God‘s strength there flow down rg':rs of gladness. "There is a river the stream whereof shall make glad the ‘lty of our God." Preachâ€" ing the gospel is one of the aqueducts. The Bible is another. Baptism and the Lord‘s supger are aqueducts, Watâ€" er to slake t thirst, water to wash the unclean, Water tossed high up in the light of the Sun of Righteousness, showing us e rainbow around the throne. Oh, Was there ever a garden se thoroughly ated? Hark! I heak the latch of the garâ€" den gate, and look to see who is coming. I heaM the voice _qt Christ. "I am come into hy garden." I s@Y: | was much worse beyond, &nd advised "Come in, O Jesus! We have been | us to turn back, which I ded to waiting for Thee. Walk all through‘do. Going back, however, like the patks. Look at the flowers; look‘(-omlu‘ down a toboggan chu and at the fruit; pluck that which thou ‘ we made the distance in a q wilt for thyself." Jesus comes into less time. It was fearfully rapld the garden arid up to what old man work." f 00 yorth if all the nations knew, the wthole carth would iove him and touches him and says: "Almost home, father; not many more aches for thee. I will never leave thee. Take courage a little longer, and I will steady thy tattering steps, and I will soothe thy troubles and give thee rest. Courage, old man." Then Christ goes up another garden path, and he comes to a soul in trouble and says: ‘"Peace! All is well. I have seen thy tears. I have heard thy prayer. The sun shall not smite thee by day nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil. He will preserve thy soul. Courage, O troubled spirit!" s Then I see Jesus going up another garden path, and I see great exoiteâ€" ment among the leaves, and I hasten up to that garden path to see what Jesus is doing there, ard lo! he is breaking off flowers, sharp and clean, from the stem, and I say: "Stop, Jesus. Do not kill those beautiful flowers." He turns to me and says, "I have come into my garden to gather lilies, and I mean to take these up to a higher terrace for the garden around my palace, and there I will plant them, and in better soil and in better air they shall put forth brighter leaves and sweeter redolence, and no frost shall touch them forever." _ And I looked up into his face and sald: ‘"Well, it is thy garden, and thou hast a right to do what thou wilt with it. Thy will be done!"â€"the hardest prayâ€" er a man ever made. It has seemed as it Jesus Christ took the best. From many of your households the best one is gone. You know that she was too good for this world. She was the gentlest in her ways, the deepest in her affection, and when at last the sickness came you had no faith in medicines. You know that the hour of parting had come, and when, through the rich grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, you surrendered that treasure you said: "Lord Jesus, take it. It is the best we have. Take it. ‘Thou art worthy." The others in the household may have been of grosser mold. She was of the finest. The heaven of your little ones will not be fairly begun until you get there. All the kindnesses shown them by immortals will not make them forâ€" get you. There they are the radiant throngs that went out from . your homes. I throw a kiss to the sweet darlings. They are well now in the palace. The crippled child has a sound foot now. A little lame child says, "Ma, will I be lame in heaven?" "No, my danling, you won‘t be lame in heaven." A little sick child says, "Ma, will I be sick in heaven?‘ ‘"No. my dear, you won‘t be sick in heaven." A little blind child says, "Ma, will I be blind in heaven?‘ ‘"No, my dear, you won‘t be blind in heaven." They are all well there. I notice that the fine gardens someâ€" times have high fences around them, and I cannot get in. It is so with a king‘s garden. The only glimpse you ever get of such a garden is when the king rides out in his splendid oarriage. It is not so with this garâ€" den, this King‘s garden. I _ throw wide open the gate and tell you all to come in. No monopoly in religion. Whosoever will may. Choose now beâ€" tween a desert and a garden. _ Many of you have tried the garden of this worla‘s delight. Â¥ou have found it has been a chagrim â€" So it was with Theodore Hook. He made all the world laugh. He makes us laugh now when we read his poems. But he could not muke his own heart Taugh. While in the midst of his festivities he confrontâ€" ed a looking glass, andthe saw himself and said: "Tnere, that is true. I look just as I amâ€"done up ‘in body, mind and purse." So it w of Shenstone, of whose garden I told Fou at the beâ€" ginning of my sermon. | He sat down amid those bowers and Baid: "I have lost my road to happiness. I am angry and envious and franti¢ and despise everything around me fust as it beâ€" comes a madman to do. O ye weary souls, comé into Christ‘s garden toâ€"day and pluck & little heartsâ€" ease. Christ is the only rest and the only pardon for a perturbed spirit. Do you ncot think your chanee has almost come? You men and en who have been waiting year afterfyear for some good opportunity in which to accept Christ, but have posfponed it 5, 10, 20, 30 years, do you fnot feel as if now your hour of liverance and pardon and salvatiog had come?
