We report his au
di ess from these words of Scripture:
"And 1minc brought Itebeccn Into hts
mtitlier Smith's tent and ho became his
wlfo and lie loed her " GenesU xxlv, C7.
When ve Houietlnics speak of Abru
liaui, Isaac nnd others ,us types wi.
Miouhl not be understood to menu that
they were ineicly tj pes that the Bi
ble stories respecting them me no
tions. A person or thing Is a typo
when, hi addition to tlio'netuul expe
riences, the Scrlptuies Indicate that It
prefigure nnd Illustrates on n small
scale some person or things yet fn
litre. As, for Instance, Adam In cer
tain respects, as the head of the nice,
Mas n type of Messiah, the Second
Adam.
The first Adam was the bead of our
race, but failed to glvo tho eternal Jiff"
dcslrpd. In God's providence Messiah
Is to be the Second Adam, In the seiiep
that he will regenerate, as his plilb
dren, ail the lwsterlty of, the First
Adam. Messiah Is thus declared In
prophecy to bo the Kverlastlug Vi
ther of mankind the Kathe,r or Life
giver, better than Adam, nnd who wll
give to our race everlasting life, In
Htcad of a heritage of weakness, Impel
fcctlon nnd death.
Similarly, Moses not only was n roal
character, the, leader of the nation of
Isrnci, but, additionally, he was n type
of n greater Mediator Jesslnh. M
Moses mediated the Law Covenant-for
Israel, so Messiah, the Prophet like
unto' Mses, or antllyplcal of hlnj
(Acts III, 23), Is to be the Mediator of
Israel's Xew Covenant, under which
the Abrahiiinlc blessings wlll reach
them and through tltwu reach all the
families of tho earth (-ler. xxxl, 31).
Shnllaily, Aaron was n typo of tho
higher priesthood nnd Its hotter sacrj
floes connected with tho New Covo
mint. So, also, tho undcr-prlests and
tho Levltes, additional to their own
experiences, served. In Ood's provi
deuce; as types of tint higher Institu
tions by which tlm New Covenant w;l
be Inauginated hkoitly.
On this pccuhIou Ave ask 'your niton
lion to Abraham, known In the Scrip
lines as the friend of Cod, as thi
father of the faithful, and to his sou
Isaac, the Sou of l'romlse, born out of
the natural older, miraculously, when
Ills mother wmt old; also to IsaacV
wife, Uoboeui, selected by Abraham
to be the companion and jolut-lielr
with tils sou latum In his luhciltance.
These porsuunges lived their lives
wholly unconscious of the fact that
(Jod was using them and over-ruling
their affairs so as to make of them
prophetic pictures of his uwu great
1'lnn of the Ages. These type-plctures
are alwajs to be read In, full hurmouj
with the lnsiii('d writing's of the Bible
and never to be understood In contra
diction of the same.
Abraham a Type of God.
Not eery thing that, Abraham did,
however, is to be esteemed typical, In
u gencial way this grand man of the
past looms up befoie our minds as a
monument of faith and integrity and
Justice. Tho blcsslugs piomlsed to go
through him to his Seed, which would
constitute him the father of man: na
tious, made of lilm, ns St. I'.iul points
out, a tjpe of tho Almighty, from
whom flows every good nnd every per
feet gift from whom proceed) the
blessing which ultimately Is to flow
through Messiah, his Sou, nnd through
Juracl, his people, unto ull the families
of tho eartii.
AH Christian.1, presumably, are aware
of St. 1'aul's luterpietatlou of .ybr.t
ham and his family as types. As
Abraham typified Clod, so lilu wife
typllied tho Covenaut through wlilch
the vitality of the promise ultimately
develops the Seed of l'romlse Isaac In
i type, and Messiah In the anJltype
St I'aul nUo explains that Sarah's serv
ant, If agar, at Sarah's wish, beiame
for n time her representative with
Abnihum and brought forth Ishmnel
IJagar. St. i'aul explain, typlijed the
Law Covenant, vitalized by (he gra
cious arrangements, of the. atue Clod
and father. And Ilagar's mm, lit
e.ral!y Abraham's tlrnt-bom, typified
tho Jewish nutloii, the first develop
ment, under the Covenant.
As Abraham lo'ed Isaac nnd desired
n blessing upon him, so God loved Is
rael ami desired n blessing upon Israel,
tho offuprlng of. tho Law Covenant.
Nevertheless, an Ubuiael, the oCfaprlng
of tlio bond-woman, was declared not
to be tho primary heir of the Abiw
hamlc promise, but a secondary one.
no the children of Israel, the offspring f
of the Law Coi euaut, were not intend
ed to be the .Spiritual Messiah through
whom tho promise declared that (he
bIolug should first proceed.

The Wel(-Sprina of Hope For the Jew.
From tho Jlrst tiore was manifested
a competition for the Abrah'amic bless
Ing., And y IhIiiumcI m)cked at the in
fttht Isa(p,,so tieiew, hi ids coi"Idcr
able de elopincut and strength, mocked
nt the Antjtypical lsa(ic Jwus and hlu
comparatively Ignornyt and uulenrned
follow ei-satid persecuted them. In or
der to continue 'the type, that Abraham
might typify noil, ne wa.s cpmmatutcii
to bend fprth Hagai; and her sou bito
the wilderness. That sending forth
typified the Divine disfavor which
eniCe upon the Jews, eighteen centuries
ago and wjitch has made them outcasts
from God's favor, as lagar and Ish
maei were put off from Abraham'
presence and family andcare. The
bread and water which Hagar took
with her, by wlilch she nnd Ishmaei
were nourished in the wilderness for
a time, pictures nnd type;, the promises
of God through the Law and the
prophets which still belong to the Jew
and upon which, for eighteen centuries,
he has been nourished, nud without
which the hope pf tho nation would
have perished.
Now wo conio to the dire, moment
pictured in Genpjsls xxl, IMP. The
water provided by Abrahnm had bqeu
consumed. io moio was '10 bq bad.
iHlinioel wns dying. Ilngur, his mother,
nepnrated herself from him. At the
opportune moment the angel of the
Lord appeared to her apd pointed her to
a. spring of water, where she lef resiled
herself and Ishtnncl with new life.
The antitype of this Is upw to be
seen before us. The Jewish popple,
separated more and morn fropi tlio
Law tun the Prophets, are becoming
weak and faint as respects hope. They
are about to dial But no, the Lqrd
graciously points out n well-spring of
the wnter of life at this critical mo
ment. As Ishmaei was rescued from
death by tills water, so the nation of
Israel, whom he typllied, Is now about
to find lii the providence of God that
their portion of the Abraliamic Cove
nant Is the earthly one, not the, heav
enly one, no the spiritual. They are
about o be refreshed and to enter
upon a new- career. That career, how
ever, will not mntk them as Ishmaei
Ites, nor will their New Ooiepunt re
lationship be symbolized by Hagar,
ho Old Law Covenant. Thenceforth
they are represented under a now typo.
Isaac Was Heir of All.
If, at llrst, our Jewish f: lends might
be Inclined to feel disappointed that
they wore represented In Ishmaei, and
not hi Isaac, by the Hagar Covenant,
thd Covenant of bondage to the Law,
instead of being formed free from the
Law, there Is a touholntlon. Ther
consolation is that Isaac typified the
Messiah aud that Israel Is pictured as
the nation on v.iio.se behalf Messiah
will mediate tlio New Law Covenant.
Tho Messiah must bo spiritual. In or
tier to bo able to copfer the gteat
blessings indicated in tlio Coennit
made witli Abraham. Tho nation of
Israel never expected to be spiritual
and had no such promise In the Bible.
To tho Jews will come exactly what
they havo always been expecting -greatness
as au eurfhly people, honor
ns the elect nation through whom the
New Covenaut tdesslugs will be open
Ml up tq all the world of mankind the
Gentiles.
As already pointed out, Isaac, the
son of Abraham, typified tho Messiah
of glory, tho Sou of God and heir of
all tho promises the one tluough
whom alone eternal life may be ob
tained and restitution to that perfec
tion which will enulilo Israel and the
world to keep the Dlilue Law perfect
iy and merit the gift of God, eternal
life, according to their New Law Covo
