illustration of this found in a
poem by Rebecca Fair Doney,
entitled “ The Christian’s Battle.”
It is a dialogue supposed to take
place between the old creature or
humanity and the new creature,
the candid ate for the bride Christ.
It reads as follows:

(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

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.
