In the course of his remarks Rev. Mathews said: "We have beforo us this evening, without a shadow of doubt, one of the most impressive, most startling of nil tho lessons that ever fell frotnUho lips of Jesus Christ In his ministry as the teacher of the human race.and as Its strong.unbi'okcn deductions and stern, unyielding con clusions strikes nur awed ear, wo feci that though eighteen centuries have rolled their round, moulding and ele vating the human race, yet those word have not lost their force, point or dreadful character. "That today they mean Just ns much to tho world, Just as much to phil osophy, Just ns much to tho soul, as when standing by doomed Jerusalem nnd In the presence of tho cross, ths Christ of history unrolled them as the will and tho law of that infinite power, who, while Ho is as dew and sun shine In His mercy and love to the penitent and heart broken, Is to the workers of Iniquity and all their dark following in every sense a. consuming Are. "Let us not enter lightly or flippantly Into the consideration of this great text; if It is a truth, It Is and must be a great truth, one of those vital and fundamental truths upon which are built tho whole gospel. If wo accept this parable as a teaching of Jesus, nnd believe that he meant to lay beforo us a fact, then let us pause, think and view it not as music, lwetry or flow ers, but as a great gulf, draw near to its edge and directed by the finger of Ood look Into Its depths nnd ask our selves the question, 'Does our path way of life lead to If "This parable is one of n series spoken by Jesus Just before His death.

"It Is burning with tho heat of divine retribution, yet perfectly and passion less. It Is calm, quiet In Its presenta tion nnd yet It gleams like a flame In Its posltlvcness as a fact. Let us stand before Jesus and ask that question, 'Is this .parable true.' Did he mean to convey tho terrible truth that thero Is a hell of suffering hereafter? Does Jesus, the gentle, say this? Yesl Be cause It Is a truth because there Is a hell gulf between Good nnd Evil not fixed, or bounded, or circumscribed by human or divine sympathy, or emotion, or will or wish. "Hut by divine law a law as abso lute as tho existence of God, a law that makes a gulf between good and evil, between lust and love, murder and nursing, stealing and giving, death and life, and Christ would have been as false ns Judas had he taught any thing else, for all nature throbs with the law and Is eloquent of its truth. "I hold that there Is a sense of that gulf In every soul and we call It retri bution.

But wo don't get at it as Christ gets at It which is tho truth that It Is a law of God's that Is to be re spected, and If we break it we suffer. "And now beloved, whv do wo call your attention to this parable? To warn! If thero is danger ahead, who of all men should hang out the red lan tern of danger but the gospel engineer? The whole question of this text to you means are you the wicked sinner or tho Christian Lazarus? Jesus Christ lies at tho gate of your soul will you tako him In or wait until thero Is a great gulf fixed between Christ and you? The lesson of this text Is nowl Now is tho accepted time; now is tho day of salvation. Don't pass the line of death leaving unsettled that one mighty ' question of the soul am I saved from my sins?"
