ly, that Christ Jesus himself Is the
Head, the Captain, the Chief Kuler,
and that this "elect" company are. fig
uratively speaking, his "members." his
associates, his uuder-priesthood. The
Scriptures tell us that this selection is
accoi-diii to Divine forekuowledge aud
foreordlnatiou. They tell us that God
foroLncw our Lord Jesus as the one
who o;:ld occupy the glorious posi
tion of l'r hot. Priest, Mediator and
King of ihu world during the Millen
nium. They tell us also that the same
God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ forekuew us also and "predes
tinated" that there should be n Church
class selected from amongst the world,
to bo their Itrdeumcr's associate, his
under-prlesthocd, his subordinate kings
during the Millennium.
The Elect Now nnd Hereafter.
The Church Is spofeyn of as God's
"elect" now. before the election has
been finished; before the testing 1
completed: before the called have been
proven faithful and worthy. Tlue
are "elect" In the sense of having been
nominated "moved aud seconded."
God moved that they Miould be elect
ed, and "called them w.tn u heaven
ly calling." It remained for the called
ones themselves to "second the mo
tion" by presenting themselves In full
consecration of heart to the Lord. Hut
this was not sulllclcut; for the Invited
ones were recognized as imperfect and
unable to come up to the requirements
of the call. Hence It wns necessary
that the Lord Jesus Christ should be-
coino their surety and agree out of
his own fulness of merit to supply all
And
for
reign over the earth (Uevelatlon xx, -I;
I Peter II, P).
They will not "reign on the earth" In
the sense of being earthly beings, hav
ing earthly couris and thrones; their
resurrection "change" will constitute
them heavenly or spirit beings; they
will bo invisible to mankind, as now
the "Prince of this world" is invisible
and as the holy angels are Invisible.
Hut they will possess heavenly power
and authority and wisdom aud grace.
Hy these glorious attributes they will
be able to serve God and humanity by
a reign of righteousness, whose up-
edge, sclenUllc "knowledge, etc., when
these do not cross or Interfere with
the Divine ltevelatlou, but wo nro con
fident that the Apostle did not intend
to refer to worldly knowledge, but to
the greatest of all tjclcntltlc knowledge
the knowledge of God.
How shall wo know God! Hy study
of his character. Our Lord Jesus It
was who declared, "This Is life eternal,
that they might frnoio thee, tho only
true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou
bust sent (John xvll, Hi. This knowl
edge at the present time Is- a secret
knowledge uud, as tho Apostle says, a
"hidden mystery," which can be known
only by those who put themselves Into
a certain attitude of heart aud mind
nnd conduct toward the Lord and his
revelation, We are to study God's
character to learn respecting his Jus
tice, Ids Wisdom, his Love aud his
Power, by studying his revelntlou-tho
Ulble. hi it we see his dealings past,
and his promises respecting his deal
ings future. Aud a correct apprecia
tion of these gives us a knowledge of
God's character as cxetnpllllcd therein.
Put since this knowledge Is not stated
in terms for tho world to understand,
it follows that only those In proper
condition of heart and enlightened by
the holy Spirit can receive this knowl
edge. It Is taught only to the pupils in
the School of Christ. "The secret of

Plan of the Ages.
The Value of Earthly Crowns.
Consider for a moment what fabu
lous prices have been paid for earthly
crowusl Thousauds of lives have beeu
sacrificed aud millions of money, to
galu an earthly crown. And thousauds
who paid this price kuew well that
uueasy rests the head which wears

Wonl of the Lonl aud to our Covenant

' footsteps of Jesus. Our lives should
be so moderate as respects business
and pleasure and food and nitmeut,
i etc.. that we should be examples of
wisdom aud moderation to all extrem
ists only along the same Hues that
Jesus and thu Apostles were counted
extremists by those who knew not, nei
ther did understand "the mystery" of
their endeavor to be of "the very elect."
Patience must not be forgotten. In

Jill comparison should we lnstltuto
as I t -u the value of such a crown
anu . 'crown of glory." honor and
immortality which God has promised
to his elect to such of them us make
their calling and their election sure!
Hns God placed too high u valuation
upon the heavenly crown, In demand
ing that those who would share it
with the Redeemer must prove their
loyalty to him and to the principles
of righteousness, and to the spirit of
love, to the extent of laying down
their lives in his service nud In "doing
good unto all men us they have op
portunity, especially to the household
of faith?"
Our Lonl asked wherein would bo
the profit to any mau If he were to
gain the whole world aud lose his
own soul-lose his future lire. For
the purpose of our present topic wo
might ask a modified question, name
ly If one should gain the empire or
the whole earth and all of Its riches,
aud If another should gain this heav
enly election to the heavenly King
dom of one thousaud years nud to
nubsequent eternal blesslugs with the
Lord, which of these would choose
tho better part which would show
(he real wisdom, nnd which would be
the foolish one? Hut the contrast In
creases when wo note that the domin
ion of earth cannot be secured by our
ship, nnd also in the spiritual family,
the Church. "Love us brethreu"
(ought to love). "We ought also to
lay down our lives for the brethren."
Still further tho Aiwatle urges that
while nil of the forcgolug are elements
of love we superadd (ore itself in the
fullest sense toward the Lent, toward
the brethren, toward humanity, to
ward the brute creation aud toward
our enemies. While all of these cau
not be loved In the same degree, all
should profit by the spirit of lovo lu
our hearts for all.
"Ye Shall Never Fail."
Now comes tho climax of the advice
to those seeking to make their calling
and election sure (verse Si. "If theso
things be lu you nud abound, they
make you that ye shall neither bo bar
ren nor unfruitful In the knowledge
of our Lord Jesus Christ." And theu
as our text declares, if these things
abound nud If we give diligence to the
making sure or our calling and elec
tion and do these things, we shall
never fall-we shall lu no wine rail

Wo read indeed in tho Scriptures re
specting a Kingdom, for which our
Iord taught us to pray, "Thy King
dom come; thy will bo done in earth
as it is done in heaven," yet tho thral
dom of error upon us was so tense that
wo recognized not the Inconsistency
between theso promises and our falso
hopes. Now, thank God, "the mys
tery" is revealed to us in God's Word
aud by ills Spirit, and we perceive that
tho Millennial Kingdom ls to bo u real
ity uud tlmt Its blesslug to mankind in
general, "to all the families of tho
earth," Is lo be most thorough, most
systematic, most complete, aud in tho
cud entirely satisfactory.
Kings to Be Elected.
What an Interest wo properly tako In
this matter of our election, after learn
ing that the ofllco for which we are
running Is u combination of priesthood
nud kingship! The elect are to be
priestly kings, or otherwise styled, "u
Jtoyal Priesthood" their glorious
service Is to be for u period of one
thousand yeurs, during which Uioy will
a mere competency of earthly wealth
is attained by only oue of a thousand
who strive for It day aud night. Sure

Word all earthly honors nro vanities,
In comparison with tho heavenly glo
ries nud blesslugs which may be sure
ly attained by the "culled" of this
Gospel Age If they will but follow
(ho Divine directions.
Terms and Conditions of Election.
In our context St. Peter tells us upon
what terms tho called nnd accepted
muy make their election sure. After
calling our utteiitlou to God's exceed
ing great und precious promises he
tells us that they were given us to
the Intent that they should operate in
our minds so as to Influence our lives,
In harmony with the Dlvlno will; nud
that thus we may "become partakers
of the Divine nature, after having es
caped the corruption that is in the
world through desire." selfishness,
lust (verse 4). lie proceeds to ampli
fy, and urges that such as havo this
I hope shall glvo all diligence to tho mat
ter of adding to their faith virtue or
fortitude. That Js to say, faith of It
self ls very good as a start, but God
-requires raoro than this. As a condi
tion of our acceptance for election lie
requires that our faith shull be of a
strong kind, giving us fortitude for all
of life's uffalrs; for all of our Cove
nants with the Lord; for a faithful en
durance of opposition, contradiction,
etc., that thus we might be copies of
our Lord Jesus Christ, as God bus or
dained all of "tho elect"must bo (Ro
mans v 1 1 1 , 20),
Not only must wo htivo a strong
faith combined with fortitude, but wo
must also udd "knowledge." Wo ro
quired some knowledge of God and of
our Lord Jesus und of tho Gospel mes
