City.?The iollowint; sermon
, "Too Cospe! in the Oiil Testawas
prcache;! by the famous evangelist
Dr. .1. V. Ibni- l !i;ii.n.:iu. from the
text, "And v.iiea Ihe fonts came down
upon the carcasses, Abrr.ni drove them
away." CJenvsis ::v: 11.
In all par;.-; of the word of Clod. in
the Old Testament and the New. we timi
Clod's provision made tor cleansing the
sinner. If, in the light of all that h-n.
been said we .eel ourselves condemned
and that if the day ot awards came tomorrow
we should suffer loss and lose our
crown, though ?e shall be saved, "yet so
as by tire." this thought should come to
us as an inspiration, that ail our sins may
be blotted out and our transgressions forgiven.
It is of ^reat cheer, therefore, tor
us to study the subject now given, it is
not necessary siinpiy that we should fa*
v tniiiarize ourselves with the New Testa*
? ment; this is. ot course, essential; but i!
^ we would know Clod's ability to cleanse
we ought to kuow the Old Testament
Scriptures, with their types and ceremonies.
The birds of the Tiible form an interesting
subject for investigation. The lirst
mention of tluiu in the Old Testament is
ia Genesis i: til--" And God created great
whales, and every living creature that
nvpveth, v iieii the waters brought forth
abundantly, after their kind, and every
winged fowl after his kiud; and God saw
that it was jjaod." .Sinee that time they
are to be seen flying through many of the
stories of holy writ, tilled with lessons of
sweetness aud yov. er. Their songs have
been the sweetest, their plumage bus been
?*. the brightest, their teaching has been the
best. The eagle mounting up far above
^-frhe^sjth, and building its nest atiove the
cloudsT is. a picture of Christian exhilaration.
Isaiah had it in mind when he said:
"They that wait upon the Lord shall renew
their strength; they shall mount up
with wings as eagles; taey shall run aud
not l>e weary; they shall wad: and 1101
faint." The same bird, preparing its nest
aud pushing out its rtt.e ores so that they
may learn to fly. offers a splendid illustration
of the provideuee o God. in thus
seeming severe, hut with the outcome a.wavs
giorious. Every man who has yome
to itnovv God in Christ mu- certainly say,
with the apostle Paul. "All things work together
foi* good, to them that love God."
When Elijah was at ehe brook Chcrith,
*nd the waters hud msspd from hrs vision.
ud he himself wax on the verge of ^larva
t ion, the birds fed hiiu. Every little
sparrow that conies 11 i11ink through the
at?i?-tt reminder of what .lesus said: "Not
^^!ff*parrow falleth to tire ground but your
^ heavenly Father knoweth it."
But as we read the Old Testament stories
we find that there are also birds ot
yrey. They, too, have their lessons, hut
the stories thev tell are not so bright and
happy. This lesson in the text is along
this line.
Abram is a wonderful study for the
Christian. In the ^reat events of his life
be perfectly typifies the experience through
wjucb every Christian, has passed. When
God called him from Ur ox the Chaldees
lie was an illustration of our being called
from the land of sin and death. When lie
separated himself from Terah, his iatheiit
emphasized what Jesus said, "A
m3fn roust forsake father ami mother and
his own life if bo would be My disciple."
"Every Christian, if he is to be used of God.
must forsalie the world. In Ahram's separation
from Lot he is a perfect illustration
of the demand made in the New Testament
lliat we must, if wc would lie filled
with the Holy Spirit of God. .separate ourselves
even from the flesh.
There is a great battle waging, as we find
when we read the connection of the to\t
with other verses of Scripture. It is written
in Genesis xiv: 14-1G?"And when
Abrain heard that his brother was taken
?nnf Itro lio rmxxl lnc 1 rnruxl onvfi lila
born in his own house. 31H. and pursued
thcnl unto Dan. And he divided himself
ago+nst them, lie and his servants. hv
^jriglit. and smote them, and pursued tlieni
uuio Hobah, which is on the left hand of
Damascus. And lie brought back all the
good*. and also brought again his b-oiher
Lot. and his goods, and the women a!?o.
and the people."
It is uere we find a real test of Abraiu.
Many a man has gone down just where
Abram stood. God is always giving us
testa of character.
Read very carefully the twenty-first to
the twenty fourth verses of the fourteenth
chapter of Genesis, and notice Ahraiu's answer:
"And the king of Sodoni -.till unto
Abram. Give me the persons and take the
goods to thyself. And Abram *.?i j to the
king of .Sodom. I have lift up mine hand
unto Ine ~rr*cd-. the most high God. the
possessor of heaven and earth, that 1
will not take from a thread even to a shoclachet.
and that I will not take anything
that is thine, lest thou sliouldest say. 1
have made Abram rich; save only that
which the young men have eaten, and the
portion of the men which went with nie.
l Aner, ELsohol and Mam re; let them take
their portion." It always pays to stand
I for God as against men in this world.
This is clearly taught in Genesis xv: I?10
?'"After these things the word of the
Lord came unto Abram in a vision, saving.
Fear not, Abram; 1 an thy shield,
and thy exceeding great reward. And
> Abram said. Lord God. whit wilt Thou
t give me, seeing I go chikMc-s. and th:
Ft steward of my house is this Elicrer of
v Damascus if And Abram said. Deltoid, to
iiac Thou bast given no seed: and Jo. one
t iny house is mine heir. And. belt
hold, the word of the Lord came unto hint.
Having, This sh?'! yof be th'".e .heir. but
be that shall coiue forth out of thine o*n
bowels shall be thine heir. And He
brought him forth abroad, and said. Look
? fpw toward heaven, and to!! the stars, if
x- inou be ;tbie to number them: and He said
unto him. So shall thy seed be. And he
beiieved in the Lord: and He counted it
to him for righteousness. And He siid
. unto him. 1 an the Lord that brought thee
put of Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this
land to inherit it. And .he surd. Lord God.
whereby shall I know that I shall bdierit
it* And He said unto hint. Take Me a
heifer of three years old. and a site govt
I _-nr three years old. and a ram of three
f~ year* old. and a turtle dove and a young
pigeon. And he took unto hint all these,
and divided them in the midst, and laid
each piece one against another, hut the
birds divided he not."
God tever deserts His people. He sometimes
delays, but never forsakes, and there
is a promise of blessing which comes to
er?y oiw who will walk uprightly. Noticetlte
eighth verse of this fifteenth cliapk
ter of Genesis: "And he said, Ia?rd God.
B_ whereby shall I know that I shall inherit
it?" Abram does not put this test to God
t because he is incredulous, or i>ecnuso )te
L believes that God may fail him. hut lwcause
it was the custom in those days for
B. one to give a pledge of the fulfillment of a
promi-e, he asks. "How shall I know?"
God's .answer to him is a very strange
one?it.l* found in the verse that follows:
K "Aid He said unto him. Take Me a heifer
^ of thjce years old. and a she goat of three
HB yean old, and a ram of three years old.
r^B-Aga turtle dove and a young pigeon."
B HCpus. seated opposite the altar wo find
o^Kbrttn waiting?a wonderful illustration

M&ut God does not sped:. Still Abram hef.
V. He ( it to him for t
B^HLe'sing. There was no sign of the ac^B^Bptanee
of tlie sacrifice such as one would
Hj^Hpect. but he wavers not; his faith i*
as the rocks around him. .Sarah may
w
hare ridiculed him. and the servants may
have looked at him curiously, as it his
mind avas wandering. hut A brum waits on.
I hiivo no question hut that one or the
>;rentc?t blessings of his life came to him
while ho waited.

it is a possible thing tor us to drive them

text with which we started: "And wnen
tiie fowls came down upon the carcass -s.
Al^ini drove tliem away."
Ttic?e offerings are tjie same a< those
commanded to Moses, and it we put them

of the atonement of .Testis Christ and ot

"And he shall lake two goats and present
them before the Lord at the door of
the tabernacle of the congregation. But j
; tiie goat on which the lot fell to be the
| scapegoat, shall be presented alive before
| the Lord, to make au atonement with Inm,
, ur.d to let hint go for a scaoegoat into the
wilderness." Lev. xvi: 7. 10.
Very few service* in the Did Teste inert
Scriptures are more interesting in the past,
and more powerful as we study them in
the pre-ent. because of the light shed upon
the atonement, than the offering of tlw
j goats. There were (wo in number, and in

for one's awful past.
Another bird suggests that we simply
be yovd. One great evangelist savs. "Quit

"Do right. and you will be a Christian."
With all due respect for these men. who
have been counted great. I submit that

bin who j* to make provision for
tb<' deeds o: to-day?
Man's way ha* miserably failed. Let u? j
now turn to God to seek the proper an- j
swer to tlie question. j
The first goat was slain for the Lord,
and this side of man's sin must never be
forgotten. In the transgressions of man
God has been dishonored. His truth has
Ive/.i. artAt-AA/i Ut? utlt * 1 ?',a 1u*f*n cpf j
Aside. /lis inajestv has been slighted. His
Jaw has been broken, His name has been
despised. No morula tioa 01 man can
ever make this wrong right. Thus, in the
Old Testament the goat, was offered to j
meet God's demands, which were just, and
to satisfy His holv law. And thus in the
New Testament Jesus < 'heist came to suffer
and to die. Nowadays th?re i? numb
teaching abroad, which magnifies the l<te
pf Jesus, btu the dear teaching of fhe
nord of Cod i< that only by the shedding
of 11 is blood is there remission of sins;
the blood of Jevi- Christ [lis Son cleanð
fioiu all sins. Much is >eid to-day about
Jesus being a teacher, hot lie said Himself
that the i?i>irir. when He is come, would
teach us nil thin^. Jews Christ came to
do ju*t one thing, namely, to die. that
through His death an avenue might lie
owned uj> for man to come hack to hi?
Cod. reconciled for* ver nulo Cod.
Hut this is not all. The second goat wi>^
led forth, with a scarlet cord about his
nock. Tim hands of the imic.i were laid
upon his head, and I hen the sins of the
people were confessed, and by the hand
oi a tit person the scauego.it wa? led unlo
x land that was not inhabited. In this he
laeeomes a proper illustration of the l-ord
Jesus Christ. "Tim l.ord hath laid on Him
the iniquity ot'us all," aud He has earried
our sins away, as far "as the tfasi is from
the west." it i? an iii-niration l'?r u> to
know that when Jou* Christ died on Calvary
He not oniv died to set u- free from
the penalty of sin in the *iglu of tied, bin
by His dentil we arc set free from the power
of sili in our own lives.
When one become-, di.seouraged niul finds
that lie of himself cannot keep from sin,
tin* evil Mnj comes to wiu?ner once again:
'"You need expect it. You have been horn
with a tendency to sin. Yon have l?cen
cursed with an anpetite. Your o!d nature

"And the Lord spake unto and
i uiuo Aaron, savim;: And he that gathcreth
the ashes of the heifer shall wash his
clothes and be unclean until the even; and
it .shall be unto the children of Israel, and
unto the stranger that sojournelh among
them, for a statute forever.*' Numbers
xix: 1. 10.
If one were to give this passage oi
S-njiluiv a casual reading Jif iui$iu nn.i hi
it very little* to arrest his attention, but it
lie studies it carefully and compares Scriptnre
with Scripture, be will learu that not
only is it one of the nio?t intensely interesting
?tudies in all the ltible, but tbat it
shed* light iipon the gospel story, and
n>ake? both plain and powerful one phase
of the work accomplished by our blessed
Lord.
There was something in the color of the
heifer, for it tvas not allowable to have one
single white hair - all must be red. Surely
this is just a little hint that in the saerinci.il
life and death of Jesus Christ there
was not one single bright ray.
The offering must be without blemish:
if there was the least spot of weakness
about it it was to be rejected. And lie
n as without spot or wrinkle, or any such
thing, too?absolutely perfect was the Son
of Cod. our Saviour.
The red heifer was to be taken out of
the camp, and there put to death. And
Jo?us was taken outside the city and crucified
upon the green hill which we call
Calvary.
When the heifer was burned, into the
iiames uas cast scarlet, which (I suppose)
was used to typify the sins of Israel, for
both theirs and ours are rod like crimson,
1 or scarlet. Cedar wood and hyssop were
also cast in. The cedar was the proudest
tree in the olden times, the king of the
forest, while hyssop was the common,
every-day plant which could be found out!
side the door of every cottage. Taking the
hyssop on the one side and the cedar on
the other, all nature would be included in
f '
the sweep. Surely there must be a hint
here as id the breadth of the atonement
provided by Jesus Christ, and also a clear
suggestion as to lite power of Christ's
biood to cleanse. |
In the sixth chapter of Numbers, first
twelve verses, we hive the law of the Xazarites.
From this we learn that if the Nazal

Light an<l Salt.
The TJishop of Kipon, in likening the
Christian to "light" and "?alt." says: "The
influence of light is clear and unmistakable;
it displays itself by its own light; it
can be seen and observed. The influence
of salt is more subtle. It spreads unseen.
It does net reveal itself to the eye. It
makes its presence known bv mingling unseen
in other substances. Wc rather note
its absence than observe its presence. Its
function is, without obtruding itself, to *
make food pleasant and palatable. It thus i
becomes the fitting emblem of that unconscious
influence which is rather of ?harac- |
ter than of opinion. As light represents
the distinct, vigorous and conscious influence
of the intellect, and of the will in ae- .
tive agency, so salt represents that quiet,
unspokeji. felt, hut unobserved influence
which disposition or character can exercise."
