This .docs not excuse them from the guilt of the sin. In some future time Christ will become reconciled to his brethren, the Jews, nnd.be their Savior and benefactor (Isaiah 11:10*’ 16). Peter, off the day of Pentecost, showed that the Jews’ treatment of Christ was such, and that God’s over ruling providence _Jhnd turned it out for good. Just e*. Egypt was obliged tb come to Joseph for sustenance-and become servants for Pharaoh through him (Genesis 47 :13-20) V so will all the world yet come to Christ for his blcss- A-- r jy nmlnation, every appointee should go to sea as n regularly enlisted man and serve one year in the ranks before en tering Annapolis.

My faith In a promissory note Is the measure of my confidence In the proniissor. The very essence of faith is strik ingly illustrated In our word “amen.” We use.this ancient word every time we pray, but do we Mmderstand its meaning? It is really a Greek way of pronouncing an old Hebrew word. Je sus used It each time our version reads "verily, verily I say unto you." The old Hebrew word dates back to Abraham’s time, and earlier, only he culled It “aman.” Anything is “araan” that is solid, firm, secure and abso lutely dependable. Abrnhqm and his wife Sarah were old and stricken in trs, but childless. God promised them a son in their old age in spite of the fact that,'humanly speaking, such a thing was impossible'. -Romans 4:19- 21 describes how this startling promise affected Abraham: "Being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead When he was about an hun dred years old, neither yet the dead- ness of Sarah’s ‘womb; he staggered not art the proTnise of God through un belief, but was strong in faith, giving glory to God ; and being fully persuad ed that what he had promised he was abled^ 0 to perform.”-.
