■ Biblic Notice 1 prefer yotfrgiiifrto- Christ, how is it that you are ; not a Christian?" I believe this is the maiu ! stumbling-stone, that ' f Men,ldve darkness rather i than light, because their deeds art> evil." "We ' come not to Christ because of the' vicidusness of our nature, and depravity of our heart j and ! this is the depravity of your heart, that you pro- , fer darkness to light, put bitter for sweet, sad choose evil as your good. Well, I think I hear 1 one saying, " Oh ! I would be on Jesus Christ's side, but I did not look at it in that light ; I thought the question was, ' Would he be on my side V 1 am such a poor guilty sinner, that I would Mn stand anywhere-, if Jesu's blood would wash mle." Sinner i sinner! if thou talkest like that, tften 1 will nrefffc thee right joyously. Never was a man" owe with Christ till Christ was one with him If yott feel that you can turn stand with Christ, and say, "Yes, despised and rejected, he is nevertheless my God, my Saviour, rttf kifig., Will he accept me?" Why, soul, he has accepted' you ; he has renewed you, or else you would not talk so 1 . You speak liked a saved man. You may not have the comfort of salvation, but surely there is a worfe of grace in your heart, God's divine election has' fallen upbn you, and Christ's precious redemption has been m'a'ct© for you, or else you would not talk so. You cannot- be willing to come to Christ, and yet Christ reject you. God forbid we should suppose the possibility of any fiinuer crying after the Saviour, and the Saviour' saying, "No, I will not have you." Blessed be ma name, " Him that cometh to me," he says, " I will in no wise cast out." ''Well," says one, " then I would have him to-day. How can 1 do it f There is nothing asked of thee but this. Trust hita ! trust him ! Believe that God put him in the stead of men ; believe that what he suffered was accepted by God instead of their punishment ; believe that this great equivalent for punishment can save you. Trust him ; throw yourself on him ; as a man commits himself to the waters, so do you ; sink or swim ! You will never sink, you will never sink ; for "he that believeth on the Lord Jesus Christ hath everlasting life, and shall never come into condemnation." May these faint words upon so thrilling a subject bless your souls, and unto God be glory, for ever and ever. Amen and Amen. Portion read Matth. xxvi.
