They ursued Him, They slapped Him in the face, They mocked Him. hen He groaned, they ronned. They shook their fists at Him. They spat on Him. They hounded Him as though He were a wild beast, His healing of the sick, His sight giving to the blind, His mercy to the outcast, silenced not the re venge of the world, His prayers and benedic. tions were lost in that whirlwind of execra- tion: “Away with Him! Away with Him!" Ab, it was not merely the two pieces of wood that He carried; it was the transgress- fons of the race, the anguish of the ages, the wrath of God, the sorrows of hell, the stu- nduous interests of an unending eternity! Ko wonder His back bent, No wonder the blood started from every pore. No wonder that He cronched under a torture that made the sun faint, and the everlasting hills trome- ble, and the dead rush up in their winding sheets na He cried, “If it ba possible, let this cup pass from Me." But the cup did not puss, None to comfort, Thers He hangs! What has that hand done that it should be thus crushed in the palm? It has been healing the lame and wiping away tears, What has that foot been doing that it should be so lncerated 2 Tt has been going about doing good, Of what has the | vietim been guilty?

Consumption 1s the destruction of lung-tissue by germs where the lung is too weak to conquer them. The remedy is strength—vital force. Scott’s Emulsion, with hypophosphites, means the adjustment of lung strength to overcome germ-life. It is fighting the germ with the odds in our favor. These tiny little drops of fat-food make their way into the system and re-fresh and re-invigorate it. ood a start the germs had, and how carefully you can ive. The shortest way to health is the patient one. The gain is often slow. 80 cents and $1.00 SCOTT & BOWNE, Chemists, New Yor.
