(3) Sympathy iu our joy and sorrow.
To our friends we toll our joys or sor-
rows, and any person's sympathy is not
worth much who will not listen to our
story. Joys increase and Borrows de
oreaso by being told. Cicero said in
speaking of tho sympathy of 1rtlo friend-
ship, "Our joys aro doubled and our sor-
rows lessened." Jesus is in sympathy
with His frh inds, Ro amber the
memorable night • In Gethsemane with
His 1hreo disolplos, They went asleep.
It was a sad picture of their eymptathy
with the suffering Saviour. Our Lord
seemed to demand huinau sympathy, but
Ile was ofton denied. Christ desires
sympathy for His sorrowing o11os on
earth for Ho suffers as His followors do.
Christ is in fall sympathy with IIitt bo.
Roving children, Does it pain our hearts
to toe hint rejected, despised 101111 IIie

The friendship of Christ manifests itself

is not worth much if we will not deny
ourselves and suffor for its Salto. The
Saviour's life WWI one of saorifloo. Ito
(Boil for ns. Ido was rich, yet, for our
sake, Ho became poor. He left the glory
of hoavon and 0101810 down to earth to
