ake much of the
blood--make much of the blood."

As I have travelled up and down Christendom I have found out that a
minister who gives a clear sound upon this doctrine is successful. A
man who covers up the cross, though he may be an intellectual man, and
draw large crowds, cannot touch the heart and conscience. There will
be no life there, and his church will be like a gilded sepulchre.
Those men who preach the doctrine of the cross, holding up Christ as
the sinner's only hope of heaven, and as the sinner's only substitute,
and make much of the blood, God honours, and souls are always saved
where that truth is preached.

I would say,

MAKE MUCH OF THE BLOOD.

May God help us to make much of the blood of His Son. It cost God so
much to give us this blood, and shall we try to keep it from the world
which is perishing from the want of it? The world can get along
without us, but not without Christ. Let us preach Christ in season and
out of season. Let us go to the sick and dying, and hold up the
Saviour who came to seek and save them, and died to redeem them.

CHRIST WILL CONQUER.

It is said of Julian the Apostate in Rome, that when he was trying to
stamp out Christianity he was pierced in the side by an arrow. He
pulled the arrow out, and taking a handful of blood as it flowed from
the wound, threw it into the air, shouting, "THOU GALILAEAN, THOU HAST
CONQUERED!" Yes, this Galilaean is going to conquer. May God help us to
give no uncertain sound on this doctrine.

I would rather give up my life than give up this doctrine. Take that
away, and what is my hope in heaven? Am I to depend upon my works?
Away with them when it comes to the question of salvation. I must get
salvation distinct and separate from works, for it is "to him that
worketh not, but believeth on Christ." None will walk the celestial
pavement of heaven but those washed in the blood. The first man that
went up from this earth was probably Abel. You can see Abel putting
his little lamb upon the altar, thus placing blood between him and his
sin. Abel sang a song the angels could not join in. There must have
been one solo song of redemption in heaven, because Abel had no one to
join him. But there is a great chorus now, for the redeemed have been
going up for six thousand years, and they sing of Him who is worthy to
receive honour because He died to save us from condemnation.

ROBES MADE WHITE THROUGH THE BLOOD.

In Revelation vii. 14, we read: "A
