The Hebrew waa afl a bridge be-
tWoeti the I we; religion, which had
been aa wMe-apread aa the race of
man, was narrowed down to one
natiou, thrown aa a bridge acroea
a time of dark neat and danger, to
be again expanded by oar IfOrtUa
followers and to be again aa broad
as humanity itself. Yet the new is
sorely a true revival of the old,
expanded and developed, merging
the middle one Into it and then all
browning one.
The whole world was oa one aide
under Admit and Nueh. AU the
world will be on the other antler
Chriat and the apostles. The He
brew system stood between, uniting
both, and yet iu many reapreta dia-

I piwpuae to investigate these won

their strange power constated, to
mark the difference between them
sad those of other legislator*, who
have all wore or less failed iu giv
ing permanency to their work, ami
chiefly to show how near aud yet
hew far we are from following them
in our own laws, customs and prac
tice*. I have even held that we
Angio-8axona—men of the 1 tilde—
are nearer the Jews in many re
apecta, by our adopting their Hojy
Writing* a* a living rule or daily
kith, than auy other ancient or
modem people.
What is the Hebrew Common
wealth 1 This is not to be conoid
ered merely as an abstract question.
It involves not only ill religion,
Nhieh m the true rnrit of the whole
Matter, but all law, government and
fit; hi » word, everything that
flues to make up w’jjU we call civil-
isstion. I c.insider the march of
Moses a* the grandest event in the
history of the human race. Into
it all previous knowledge aud civil
isation flowed to aid In developing
and rendering It perfect, and from
•t has sprung forth all that was
food, then and since, iu religion,
government and social life.
B«fore spooking, however, of
this wonderful life—this marvellous
mfcreh—I must speak of the mighty
wmu who preceded him, and of the
form and manner of religion as prac-
boed by the patriarch*.
KKLIOIOrS D1SPKS8ATIONH. , ,
We speak of the two dispensa
tion*—the Hebrew and the Chris
tian; we speak of the Mosaic law
«■ distinct from that taught by our
lord and his apostles; and we utter
if ignore the long race of patriarchs
from Adam to Abraham, or rather
Moses, who worshipped God in spirit
•■d In troth according to light
given them directly by God him
self.
I tbrek that we speak wrongly
here. There ore really three dlspen
sstions: The first, the most ancient,
patriarchal, from Adam and N<mb
