that the Scripture everywhere do

Tho Almighty Crciitor did not wait

ho had the plan arranged for our re

In Mirrow mid pain, nevertheless In
Anil's due time all or these shall have
moro favorable opportunities of know
ing of God's true character and of at
taining to a full diameter development
In his likeness during the .Millennial
Ago. TIiIm means that jirobnbly more
will gain eternal life mid blessing un
der the divine arrangement nn we have
It than we could reasonably expect
would have been saved had the Lord
not provided this law of heredity mid
condemnation of all, but on the con
trary had permitted each to ho born
In perfection and to Htand h!s trial as
between loyalty to (Sod with the re
ward of eternal llfo or disobedience
punished with death. XI tit we shall
hco that It means much moro than this.
Condomned In One Redeemed by One.
A. great economic law Is connected
with thi divine arrangement: Tho
condemnation of a race In one man's
lolim because of his transgression
made possible tho dlvlno arrangement
that a Second Man should pay the
penalty for tho llrst and redeem both
him and all who were In him at tho
time of IiIh condemnation. This Is at
onco n demonstration of Dlvlno Wis
dom and of Dlvlno Justice. Suppose,
for Instance, that the law of heredity
had not prevailed, hud not been In
stltuted by our Lord, but that each
Individual had come forth perfect and
had been personally placed on trial
nml been personally condemned to
death. Would It not hnve required nn
Individual savior for each one. con
demned under hucIi nn nrrntigemcnt?
Surely It would. Hence, hml one-half
of the race proven thoumclvcs sinners
and been personally condemned It
would either Imvo been ucccMinry to
avoid redemption altogether or to re
deem the sinner half of the race, by
giving a life for a life n perfect be
ing's Hncrlllee for or Instead of each
Imperfect life. Intimating the total
number of our race at liO.OOO.OOO.OOO,
.lustleo would Imvo been obliged to
reijulro lO.ooo.OOO.OOO of perfect be
ings to bo offered us the ransom price
for Kin in,)0(),(XlO,0()0 of sinners.
Under the very best estimate that
we can possibly make, thla would
have required the death of nil the
perfect ones of the race as redeemers
for all the Imperfect ineuibers of the
race, and what a havoc that would
hnvo linplled-wlth Just as ninny dy
ing as under present conditions, name
ly, one-half iih sinners nnd the other
half as redeemers, ransoms. Hesldes,
wo perceive that It would not have
been Just on thu part of tho Almighty
to compel tho rlgliteoiiH ones to suf
fer for tho unrlithteous uh their re
deemerH, hence there would have been
no assurance even then that any but
a fraction of tho sinner race would
have been redeemed. On the contrary,
how wise, conservative and econom
ical was tho Dlvlno arrangement that
hy one man's dlsobedlouco under tho
Iiiwh of heredity the many would be
born sinners and sharers In his pen
alty, death, and that then In duo time
oiio Savior, one perfect one, tlio "man
Christ .lesus," might redeem Adam
nnd, redeeming him, redeem all of
his race from tho death sentence, the
curse, tho wrath or flod, and as a
result of tho redemption obtain the
right, tho authority, tho power during
his Millennial Kingdom and In asso
ciation with his glorluod Church of
tho flospel Age, to bless all tho fam
ilies of the earth and to uplift an
nuiny as would bo willing out of nil
their Ignorance, weakness and sinful
and dying conditions to all that was
lost In Adam.
Wo have seen that in harmony with
the Dlvlno law It would not have
been Just for tho Heavenly father to
obligate tho righteous to dlo for hIii
ners and that houco the redemption of
tho Blnnois would Imvo been problematical-very
doubtful. Hut on the
contrary tho Heavenly Father well
know In ndvuneo the loyalty of his
First'llegotten, his only llogotton, who
Is deduced lo Imvo beoil the "begin
ning of the creation of flod" (llovela
tlou III, 11). lie knew not only of Jesus'
loyalty but that his experiences with
htm In glory would every way qualify
our Lord for the tests mid thoHiieiitlees
necessary for tho redumption of the
race with his own precious blood.
Tho Scriptures assure us furthermore
that tho Father set before lilm some
certain Joys, certain blessings, certain
promises, In connect Ion with this work
of man's redemption; as wo read,
"Who for tho Joy set before lilm en
dured the cross, despising thu shame,
and Is now set down on tho right hand
of thu majesty on high" (Hebrews
xll, 2).
Rotrlbutlvo Joys and Rewards,
Wo are to remember, too. that tho
i BcrlpluroH distinctly teach Hint tho
condition of tho nlfiilrs of our world -sin,
iKtrlbutlvo punishment, tho re
domptlou through Jesus, tho call of
tho Church nnd their sufferings with
lliolr Itedeeiner and tho promises of
future blessing and glory both for tho
Church mid for tho world nro sub
jects In which the angels of flod nro
Interested. Ah tlio Apostle I'cterBnyH,
"Of which HMlvatlon tho prophets hnvo
enquired mid searched diligently. . . .
fieiirelilng what or what manner of
tlmo tho Spirit of Christ which was In
them did signify, when it test I (led be
forehand tlio sufferings of Christ, nnd
tho glory that should follow. , . .
'Which things thu angels dcslro to look
Into" (I I'etcr, I. 10-12), They won
dered when all tho sufferings of Jesus
nnd tho Church would bo completed
nnd when tho glory tlmo would como
nnd recovery from sin and death con
ditions; when (mil's purpose would
thus ripen mid bear fruit In thu recov
ery of those who fell from his favor
In Adnin'H disobedience but were re
deemed by tho precious blood.
The great lesson of what constitutes
disobedience, ami how serious a sin It
Is, nnd what It would lend to If allowed
to tnko Its course, was Illustrated In
man's experiences; and nil the host of
angels looked on with ninn7.emcnt, no
doubt, flod's Justice was fully dem
onHtrated In the liillictlon of tho death
penalty and tho permission of lw in
