cross went forth" (v, 17),"The cross or

declared that the cross -bearer was a
cibliunl, rejected by the world." The
cross vvas a heavy burden. Laid on the
weary, bruised, bleeding body of Jesus,
it caused excruciating suffering. No
wonder he fainted "bearing his cross"
(v. 17); sena another was compelled ter
carry it, But what Jesus suffered front
man Das nothingto what he uldlred
for men. The curse vvas more than the

But ,)esus "received it not" (Mark 15:

What Have You Done?
(Pa Gener:,! Booth,)
Let, 1110 0,1: yon a question: "WVhat
Iwo you done with your life? What'
works lune vett done? Have you done
mighty works- works that the angels
):new you e0uld not have done if the
Spirit 01 God had not been upon you?
Are you known among your brethren and
, to your neighborhood as having done any-
thing worth talking about? )love you
slain any Philistines? Have yeti 'made
any havoc auorg the enemies of the
Lord S"
1 1)1131(1 ash: you whether you have
gained (113' -nighty 531100(00 over the in-
ward foes, the Philistines of your owl)
soul? What harp ren done with them t
They are there if they have not been
slain, ,1133631, put to death; even if
1 -hey have only been (Tippled and maimed
they ala still there. Whitt have yon done
1 with those Philistines? Ila'e youf allow-
ed thew to walk about 13ke Goliath and
defy nil the armies of the Lord' Or
have yeti slain them? Have, you done
any Mighty works 3n your own heart?
There are. Philistines there, and I will
name but oneor two,
'flare is that indolent, loafing, selfish
nature that leans always towards tanking
carne of yourself and looking after your
own comfort and pleasure, 31 you' eat-
ings, drinkings, dressings and wo'kings.
What. about that Philistine? have you
done with it? Or have you indulged 3t?
No (yonder it is strong. Fed it? No
wonder it is fat, Have you let it have
its O%11 way? Nowonder it defies yott
and defies all, you can bear to bring upon
it. and defies the God of Israel Himself.
1 have had smite difficulty with this
Philistine myself. )1y poo' body has
sways been erring out for mercy, wad
crowds outside all my days have been
s0ylug, "Don't kill yourself; it is your
duty to take care of yourself." they be-
gan to tell me fifty years ago that :[
should kill myself. What have you done
with that Philistine?
There is a proud -hearted spirit that
struts about in some souls—a hasty,..
ambitious temper. There, is also a
grudge -bearing spirit. What have you
done with that? Them there is the
w011d1y disposition that at every turn
lends you to look over the walls and
outside on the fashions and pleasures of
Mammon and the pleasant things of this
life. What have. you done with that?
Have you c10r1flcei,301 liave yeti put
3t down? 'MVO 701) destroyed it?? Have
yon kept it muter?
There is that cursed habit of unbelief,
whicl,'Is one of the chief enemies of
Cod and the friend of all the other
'Philistines. AVhero, I ask you, ere your
mighty works among the Philistines of '
your own soul Y 1Vhnt have you dune
with thus rascally crew 011, have you
fought and overcome them?
Have you dune any mighty work0
among the enemies of God and man who
arc round ;bout you?
