And it came to pass the day after, that he went into a city called Nain;
and many of his disciples went with him, and much people. Now
when he came nigh to the gate of the city, behold there was a dead
man carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow,
and much people of the city was with her. And when the Lord
saw her, he had compassion on her, and said unto her, Weep not.
And he came and touched the bier, and they that bear him stood
still. And he said, Young man, I say unto thee, arise. And he
that was dead sat up, and began to speak. And he delivered him
to his mother.-LUKE vii. 11-15.
Preached, January 1809.
He spake also this parable. A certain man had a fig-tree planted in
his vineyard; and he came and sought fruit thereon and found
none. Then said he unto the dresser of his vineyard, Behold these
three years I come, seeking fruit on this fig-tree, and find none;
cut it down, why cumbereth it the ground? And he, answering, said
Lord, let it alone this year also, till I shall dig about it and dung
it. And if it bear fruit, well; and if not, then after that thou shalt
cut it down.-LUKE xiii. 6—9.
THE DISAPPOINTMENTS WHICH WILL TAKE PLACE
AT THE DAY OF JUDGMENT.
There shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when ye shall see Abra-
ham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom
of God, and you yourselves thrust out. And they shall come from
the east, and from the west, and from the north, and from the south,
and shall sit down in the kingdom of God. And, behold, there are
last which shall be first, and there are first which shall be last.-
LUKE xiii. 28-30.
