How very kind you’ve always been A TTO R N EY AT LA W 19: 7. 8. (A Sermor hy Chas. Ballard)' In the 10th verse, it : ays, "Hearken. Odaugh er, and con- aider, and incline thine ear; for get also thine own people, and thy father’s house.” This class is addressed as "daughter,” and that does not apply to the world at all. The world is at enmity with God, but the class called t3 be the bride is called "daughter.” Now the first step to be taken ia to believe on th" Lord Jesu Christ. In Galatians 3: 26, w, read, "For ye (the true church) are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus,” To exercise faith in Jesus Chris constitutes the individual a chili of God, Having exercised thi. faith they are in a proper condi tion to hear the call. But then is something else to do beside- hearkeu. They are to forget their owi people and their father’s house Their own people is the human race. The call is to somethin», higher than humanity. They an to be begotten to a spiritual na ture. But the human nature is ai w ar with the spiritual nature and ia holding the individual back. They know what the human nature is, but the spiritual natun they can only see by the e>e of faith, they see through a glass, daral,'. And even the highest typ* of human nature is «t S tirrin g T h in g s Up. G artrud«1 Is 4 y e a rs of njce.

Yes. the bride must forget her own people, and her father s house. What is meant by her father’s house. Adam was the father of the race. Anu the one called to be the bride is heir to ail that would fall to Adam. The principal thing that we inherit from him is death, and sorrow, at least, in the present time, and it ought not to be a hard thing to forget that part of our fath e r’s house, so fara s our willingness is concerned b u t even though we are willing to forget it, it is not to be forgotten, and that penalty foi Adam’s transgression must be met. W hat then is the hardship that is implied in leaving her fath e r’s house? The fact, that Christ, by his sacrificial death purchased Adam and his race and proposes to restore them to the original perfection and glory that Adam enjoyed before he fell, and we now are heirs to the blessings of the times of restitu tion. We have a glorious home here on earth to be assured to us when the great antitypical jubi lee, the times of restitution, re turns the ransomed sinners to their F ather’s house. The bride class is to realize that she has an everlasting home in hap piness here on the earth, which she is heir to, but when she ac cepts the invitation to be the bride of Christ, she must give that all up. She must leave her fath er’s house, and leave it for ever. She signs a quit claim deed to all her earthly rights and titles, in order th at she may dwell with her husband in the mansion th at he has gone to pre pare for her, and to which he will come and take her in his own good time.
