Wultcr Jhiuici, Puntar. TIC XT, ROWANS VIII, II. Thc text teaches us three cardinalI truths : ist. Thc Spirit of God raised up Christ lrom the dead. 2nd. Our resurrection to glory is con ditioned upon thc indwelling of thc Holy Spirit during this lite. 3rd. Our mortal bodies arc to bc rais ed up. I. Christ took up thc life, which he laid down, and that was not thc Adamic life, for that life is dead ; "in thc day thou catcst thereof thou shalt surely die." Adam therefore died, spiritually, thc mo ment bc atc ; and although his body lived nine hundred years after the first transgression, it was ?loomed. Christ thcrclorc, laid down that "new life," which was thc result ot thc trans forming power of thc Spirit of God. It was the Adamic life re-created, made new. Hence wc readily sec thc absolute necessity of Regeneration and thc in dwelling of thc Spirit ol God. Wc arc entitled to the final rcdemp-j lion of thc body, to thc. "inheritance in corruptible and undefiled" not legally, but by birth. Thc birth of the Spirit. II. Since our resurrection is thus condi tioned upon thc possession of thc Spirit in this lile, God has laid great stress on thc "new birth." And since this state of Regeneration is so important, God has given the most I unmistakable means nf discovering to j ourselves whether or not we have passed from death to Hie. Thcrclorc. No one but bc who is born of thc Spirit is a :hild ot God. I am born of thc Spirit. I am a child ot God. In thc above syllogism God has de clared thc major promises to bc true. Thc minor promises is capable ol proofs direct and indirect. The Spirit quickens. I have thc Spirit. 1 shall bc quickened. Or vice versa, I have not the Spirit, and shall not be quickened. So thc great Apostle reasons through out thc entire chapter. III. These conditions meet and thc mortal body will bc raised up at the last day, a glorious body. With what body do they come? Thc Apostles in answering thc above ques tion sh?\vs that the identical body plant ed will D? raised up at the last day. That glorified bodies will dilTcr as do earthly bodies. Thc wee infant will bc raised up at the last day, a sniritual body it is true, but an infant still. Thc identical body buried. Therefore; wo sh?1^recognize' our loved ones. So thc great Apostle wrote, "Where fore comfort one another with these words." PRESBYTERIAN-MORNING. Rev. JK. Ii. Corbett, Pastor. At the Presbyterian Church the Pastor preached on the "Channels of God's Mercy" lrom Acts 20, 21, "testifying both to Jews and Greeks repentance toward God and faith toward the Lord Jesus Christ." Since man before God can have no good desert, Salvation must hecomc man's by free ?rilt. Yet as one on whom a gener ous friend bestows a gift may have to take some trouble to secure * it. we arc required to usc diligence in availing our selves of God's free offer of Mercy. Wc must repent, changing our disposition and lives toward God and away from sin. We must believe, and so take Christ ami become united to him. Wc must Pray, search the Scriptures, hear thc Word, usc thc Sacrament, fight against sin, do I justly, truly and kindly to men for God's sake, follow after Holiness. If you would bc saved you must thus continually and with all diligence "work out your own Salvation," wliilc God of His own good pleasure gives faith, re pentance and the spirit of obedience and prayer. There is no merit in these el forts ot ours-it is only thc beggan reach ing out for the alms. But they arc thc channels by which comes to us God's Mercy and Salvation. Il we neglect them thcrclorc wc arc lost. Nor are we able of ourselves to do them; but He who re quires and commands them, gives His free and loving aid and "works in us to will and to do of His good pleasure." EVENING. In thc afternoon thc subject was "Build- ' ing on thc Rock," from Matt. 7, 24, "Whosoever shall hear these sayings of mine and do them, &c." These sayings upon our doing which so much depcntls are contained in thc 5,6and7th chapters, and set forth three practical matters. isl, Man's blessedness is not in earth ly good, but in obtaining a part in the Kingdom of God and gaining the charac ter ol its citizens. 2nd, Thc law of God is for us to obey in thought, desire, as well as in word and deed. 3rd, True and profitable worship is with the heart, sincere and continual. To do these sayings wc must ist, Seek above all tilings a place in God's Kingdom, and thc blessed humility, purity, love, patience, gentleness which will ht us to occupy it. 2nd, Aim resolutely at perfect conform ity to laws of God which reveals our Fathers Holy and Glorious will. 3rd, Pray daily with faith in secret, and with others, give alms without ostenta tion, and fast in private, in all seeking God's lavor, not human praise. Only hy diligent obedience to these "sayings" can we assure ourselves of the ? genuineness of our faith and rcncniauC and so have our abode upon tlie Rock. Failing these our dwelling is n refuge ol lies soon to bc swept away in utter des truction. BACTIS r- M OMNI N( I S Ut M ON. AYu. A', JV.

(Comparo Nulli. x::iv, IT and Hov. xxii, IO.) .hist ideation hy Kaitli (v. 0).-This verso re cords two (croat facts: 1. Abram behoved in Jehovah: Jehovah counted or reckoned if to liim as righteousness-. Abram's life, us wo shall sci!, was ono grand example of faith. Ho left his father's house because he believed in Jehovah. At tho most trying periods o? his career, when other men's faith would havo failed, his triumphed. Abram did not. hmo < ?oil's written word; but ho followed God's will, as l'ai' us ho know it, closely. Whatever ?night, he his failings, ho had the spirit of ob?dience. In this particular instance he be lieved Jehovah's promise that he should hitvb u son. Cod accepted his faith as righteous ness, timi is, right living. Hut Abram's faith and works went together (James ii, iii-:.'.')), lie did liio things which Jehovah commanded l o..?msc ho believed in Jehovah. He was fcoding, as tho Psalmist: says, on faithfulness, anil was ono of tho just, described hy the prophet, who live by faith. His life fur bishes tho illustration of tho apostolic doctrino ol justification by faith (Hom. i, IT; iv,3; Ooh ?'', ti; Heh. x, 8S), which became I lie key note of thu Herman Reformation. Tho Sign of the Covenant (vs. 7, Ni.- Al though lie believes that ho is to have a son, ho is still in doubt about tho land. Put (?od tolls him t hilt hu has brought Ililli out of Ur of tho Chuhlcos to gtvo hint tho land. Abram asks a si?;n. God condescends to give it to him, as ho afterward condescended to giv* signs lo Gideon (Judges vi, 17,8?V10), lhwokinh (ll Kings xx, ;s-l 1) and oven to Abu/, (isaiah vii, ll-H). Vs. t), 10. The sign which ( ?od gave Abram was a covenant. In commercial language it was a contract that ho entered into with him. It was as though two i>eoplo should make rt deii y.?i ot a largo amount of money, to ho held by somo trustworthy person, und should agrco hy a written contract, properly signed and scaled beforo a notary, that in caso either of,-.thurn should faihto fiiUHl tho conditions of, money to tho other. Lifo, howovcr, is moro precious than nioiioy. In this covenant Johovah condescends to (?laud on equal terms with Abram, and thus really promises, ns if ho wore a man, that if lie docs not fulfill tho conditions of tho cove nant he will forfeit his lifo (comparo Jeremiah xxxiv, Di, 18-20). Covenant in Hobrawsig nifies something that is cut. Tho Hebrews speak of cutting rv covenant where wo speak of making n covenant. Abram was tb pro pare tho preliminaries. Ho was to tnko n heifer, (i she goat and a lamb, each U jeni's of ago, and was to divido them into two equal parts, putting oho-half on ono sido and tho other ji?K oil tho other, leaving room to walk between tho parts. Ho ulso took a tttrllo dove and ? young pigeon, bathe did not di vide them. Tho contract by which tho land of ('annan was lo 1MJ conveyed to Abram, as wo might suv, was ready to he signed and sealed, but bolero this takes pince ho taust understand it? provisions. Conditions of tho Covenant (vs. 11-111). These aro indurated in tho following verses. Naturally, but. fittingly, tho birds of |?rOy, who foreshadow what is to ix? revealed to him, light upon tho carcasses, and ho drives them away. As tho sun is going down a de?p Sloop falls upon Abram. It is tho snmo kllld of sleep that Adam is said to have slept when EvO was created. Tho birds of nicy, which may lw regarded as a symbol of evil, are followed by tho horror of a great, dark ness. Through theso natural portents hts mind is prepared for tho unwelcome an nouncement regarding his posterity. His seed is to be a stranger ht a hind thal i not tholi's. They arc to servo tho owners of that lund, who will oppress thom -100 years, lint on that nation (?od will visit sore judg ments. Afterward Abram's descendants ate to come out with great possessions. Abrain is to go to his fathers in jteaco. In this passage thero lu an intimation of oxistcneo after death. Ho is to enjoy tho greatest of tem poral blessings, according to tho Old Testa ment-namely, that of long lifo (Ex. xx, HJ; Prov, iii, ii; Isa. lxv, ?20); bois to bo hurled in a good old age. In tho fourth generation, or in 'lOO years, reckoning tho word genera tion in its widest significance of WO yours, bis children aro to return to Cannan. Kout' hun dred ?ero is simply a round number, tho ex act number being 430 years (Ux. xii,-10-<ll; comparo (In), iii, fr). Ono thing is men tioned which stands in t ho way ol" A hm m's ?inmediato possession of th? hind-tho in iquity pf thu A morl to is not full. This ls sig nificant language. Cod is slow in executing his judgments. Ho does not sweep man from tho earth through tho flood until it is full of violence. Punishment visited by him cannot ho hastened by a doy, norean it bo delayed whon oneo tho hour has struck. Thus tho provisions of tho covenant aro made clear to Abram. Tho Covenant Scaled (v. IT).-Tho covenant of Jehovah with Abram, speaking of it as though it were a contract, was now ready to bo signed, This was dono by a smoking fur nnco and a flaming torch, which wero sym bols of tho divino piosonco passing between the pieces. V. 18. In this verso tho substance of tho covenant is announced, as well ns tho fact that God signed it. Ho gave Abram tho hmd from tho river or iOgypt-by which wo uro not to understand tho Hilo, but tho Wndy cl Arish, which divides the hasoof thofllnnitlo peninsula into two parts-to tho great river tho Euphrates. It was tho fault of Abrain'? heirs that they did not enter hilo'possession of this domain until tho limo of Solomon (I Kings iv, iii). POINTS TO ni{ R?MKMilKRKI>. 1.
