Fatigue. Fatigue lowers all the faculties of the body. It puts a chasm between seeing and acting. It makes a break, somehow, between the message that come into the brain from the outside world and the mes- sages that go out. It destroys will power. Fatigue is a destructive agent like sickness and death. It is a condition which in the na- ture of things-we cannot avoid. But it is important to know how to deal with it if we wish to kdep bway from important blunders. of The only thing to do with Fatlghs is to get rid of it as: soon as possible.

The aim -f that horror that had brought Him from Heaven to earth. It was the thought of man perishing in ever- He lasting darkness that had made Him | you? rted- glad to live and suffer and die, and as it all rose before Him as through a glass in the tomb of Lazarus “Jesus wept.” Oh, that we might realize it as Ie did. Did Christ o'er sinners weep And shall our tears be dry? Christ never thought or spake of eternal punishment in cold, hard words. He did it with a breaking heart. He did it with tenderness and tears, but none the less He did it; for none. knew so well as He that eternal sin must bring eternal hell and that all we know and fear of death is but a paradise eompared with that second death— *..%®2 2 = whose pan Oxtlasts the fleeting bh: what eternal horrors hang Oh, a the second death. The tears of Jesus tell us of His atonement. He did not come down to earth fo weep in helpless sorrow but to rise in almighty strength against our - oom rand rescue. us from it. - When Hercules came to the place where the helpless virgin lay bound upon the rock and the dragon was coming tqQ devour her, her parents and all around. were frantic with tears, but Hercules cried, “This is no time for tears; this hour is for res- cue,” and he slew the dragon and saved the maiden. So Jesus came, not merely to weep but to help, and by His own tears and His own agony and His ewn blood to meet our peril and our penalty and save us from eternal sorrow. And so we read of another instanca of His tears in Heb. 5:7. These were the tears of Gethsemane and the an- guish of His passion. These were the tears that we deserved to shed. These were the pains that we dessrved to suffer. But as:our great Substitute and Sacrifice, He bore our sins in His own body on the tree, and having paid the penalty and satisfied the claims of justice, He comes in the glad message of the Gospel to an- nounce our pardon -and salvation. O Christ, what burdens bowed Thy head; Our load was laid on Taee; Thou stoodest in the sinner's stead, Didst bear all sin for me; Jehovah lifted up His rod, O Christ, it fell on Thee: Thou wast sore stricken of Thy God, Thy bruising healeth me. Hindu mythology has a. stra tale typical .of the atonement, story of a dove pursued by a hawk until in desperation it flung itself into the bosom of Vishnu, one of their deities. But the hawk demanded sat- isfaction, declaring that the dove was her lawful prey and that Vishnu must 10t enly be merciful to the dove but just to its claims. Then Vishnu, hold- ing the trembling dove in her bosom, bared her breast and bade the hawk devour of her own living flesh as much as would compensate for the dove, while all the time the dove lay fluttering there and knowing the fear- ful cost of her deliverance. Yes, wa are safe within His bosom, but oh, the cost to Him. “He saved us, Him- self He could not save.” He wipes sway our tears, but in order to do this He had to weep when there was no eye to pity and no arm to save. Don’t you think the least that you could do would be to thank Him and give Him your heart, your love, your graceful tears? We have yet one more picture, Luke 19:41. He was entering Jeru- salem from Olivet. He had just tiirned that point where the whole city suddenly bursts upon the trav- s view. As He gazed upon it in its singular beauty, there arose be- hind the scene another vision that a few years later was to fill all that valley: a city besieged, cruel Roman legions around on every hill top, the narrowing cordon of destruction, a breach at last in the walls of defense, the breaking in of the brutal con- gueror, the strests running with blood, the Temple rising in smoke and flames, the shrieks of mothers, maidens and little children in the cruel grasp of the conqueror, and then, a long. train of captives going forth to distant lands while behind them lay a plowed field of desolation where once their beautiful city had been. And as He saw it all and how it might have been prevented if they had only received Him, He cried, “If thou hadst known even now in this thy day the things that belong to thy peace, but now they are hid from thine ? was too. late; but nge the eyes.’ It even yet He had for them His tears. These tears tell us of Christ's com- passion. They tell us how He longs to save. They tell us that He is here to- nigat with infinite pity and power to wipe away your tears, to wash away your sins and make you happy and holy through His love. But they tell us also that if you re- fuse and reject Him, there may come a time, there will come a time, when He can do nothing for you but weep. They tell of a judge before whom vas brought for punishment his old- est -friend. As he stood up to pro- nounce the sentence’ upon him, the memory of their boyhood days to- gether came upon the judge's heart with overwhelming. force -and he broke out in fioods of weeping. “My friend,” he said, “how can I, by a single word, consign you to a felon’s cell and a life of banishment from home and friends and all that earth holds dear? 3ut I am a judge and must be just. Why did you force me to do this thing?” And they wept to- gether, but it was too late to save him from his fate. From that scens of weeping, he went forth a doomed, ruined man to spend his days in fruit- less tears. Oh, sinner, beware! lest some day on the Throne of Judgment you look in the face of a weeping Saviour and hear Him say: “How often would I have gathered you even as hen doth gather her brood under her wings and ye would not. Oh, that thou hadst known the things that belong to thy peace, but now they are hid from thine eyes.” Separated, Man Dwindles. Separated from God, man dwin- dles; he is nothing. He was made to have -magnitude and be in flood, by having great inspirations roll under hint and through him. Existing in mere selfhood he cannot push himself out any way to be compleie as from, himself.
