      "Cast thy burden on the Lord" (Ps. lv. 22).
      
      Dear friends, sometimes we bring a burden to God, and we have such a groaning over it, and we seem to think God has a dreadful time, too, but in reality it does not burden Him at all.
      
      God says: It is a light thing for Me to do this for you. Your load, though heavy for you, is not heavy for Him. Christ carries the whole on one shoulder, not two shoulders. The government of the world is upon His shoulder.
      
      He is not struggling and groaning with it. His mighty arm is able to carry all your burdens. There is power in Christ for our sanctification. He is able to sanctify you. Yes, yes, the Lord can sanctify, the Lord can heal, the Lord can do anything.
      
      You must have faith in God. If you come to this river this morning, it will take you as your Niagara would take a little boat, and just bear you down--to a precipice? Oh, no, but to the bosom of love and blessing forever.
      
      Oft there comes a wondrous message,
          When my hopes are growing dim,
      I can hear it thro' the darkness
          Like some sweet and far-off hymn.
      Nothing is too hard for Jesus,
          No man can work like Him.
