IIo snld: Wo contlnuo todny our topic of lust Fundny. Our hopo is (lint not only thoso of you who honr my voice, hut nlso tlio Eoven million of rondors to -whom (IiIh sermon will go In print In tho columns of inoro tlmn four hun dred newspapers mny hnvo well In mind what wo Iiml to sny on this text n woel: ago. Ilrlctly wo Bhowcd thnt tho world Iiiih not yet received tho Messing of tho Lord which nmkoth rich thnt, on tho contrary, over Blnco tho dlfioltcdlcnco of our first parents our rnco hns labored under tho Dlvlno sentenco or "curse" of denth, nnd thnt our dying conditions (meiitnl, moral nnd physlcnl) nro upon us ns convicts. "Wo pointed out thnt tho Lord hns do ctored thnt ho will yet grant his bless ing to our rnco, relcnslng nil from tho curso nnd supplying tho blessing of tho Lord thnt mnkcth rich. Wo point ed out tho forcshndowlngs of this, os pcclnlly In tho promlso or covennnt mndo to Abrnlmm, nnd confirmed to tho nation of Isrncl through Isnnc nnd Jncob "In thco nnd In thy seed shnll nil tho families of tho enrth bo bless ed." Wo showed tlio fnlluro of tho Lnw Covennnt to glvo these blessings nnd that Jesus, tho Ron of God, holy, harm less nnd undented, Rcpnrnto from sin nora, nnd ho nlone, was nhlo to keep tbo Law nnd provo himself worthy of ctornnl llfo nnd nil tho blessings lost ly Adamnot heavenly but enrthly Mosslngs tbo snmo thnt Adnm lost. Wo saw next thnt thoso enrthly rights nnd blessings won by our Lord by tho keeping of tho Lnw, ho, with tbo Fa ther's consent nnd arrangement, sacri ficed, laid down In donth. nnd thnt his rownrd for ho doing wns n resurrection to n spirit or hcnvrnly plnno of being, fnr nbovo thnt of nngcls. Wo saw n glorious King who had thoso enrthly rights In his possession nn nn nsset or thing of vnltio to glvo to others. Wo want now to contlnuo this In vestigation nnd to hco In tho light of God's Word whnt Is to bo dono with thoso enrthly rights which Jcbuh gain ed by vlrtuo of his obodlouco to tho Law, and which ho sncrlllc'od. How will they bo npplled? Wo might reti nonnbly hnvo Hupposcd (since God'H promlso to Isrnol wns thnt tho world should bo blessed through It) thnt iib Boon us our Lord Jcbuh had nscend cd up on high ho would glvo to tho nation of Israel nil those earthly rights nnd honors which ho had no cured by obedlouco nnd death. Wo might hnvo expected accordingly that, forthwith, tho nation of Israel would hnvo begun to realize tho forgiveness of their sins nnd would hnvo been thus turned to tho Lord; nnd thnt, under his blessing, their work with all tho imMoiib bIuoo would have progressed, As it Is written, "In thy need shnll nil tho ftuutllcH of tho earth bo blessed." Admitting that the Lord Jesus was tho splrltunl seed of Abraham we would have expected that upon his glorlllcu tlon tho earthly kingdom would lane begun to be IiUwmhI and to be used for tho blessing of others. Hut noth ing of this kind occurred. Ubmsttir cam upon lli Jewish nation, nnd blindness. Their nation whh destroyed nnd for nearly nineteen centuries they hnvo been nut only blind but outcast, under tlio disfavor of the Almighty. Did Uml forgot hl promise made to Israel, or did ho change hi purpose, or what Is the explanation of the course he dM pursue? Spiritual Israel Called and Cheien. What God Imh heon dttiug slime ChrUt died for tho world's sins the Scripture term the "mystery of God." It Iihs been a mystory to tho Jews ami u mystery to the workl in getioral mid tho IahiI so Intended It to lie.

Wo rend that "ho wns holy, harmless nnd tindcltled, sop ttrato from Hlnuors." Of him again wo rend thnt, In order to bo thus holy, he required n speclnlly mlrnculous birth. These things being true, how would It bo posslblo for oven n "little Hock" to bo found who would bo ncccptnble to God ns Jolut-sncrlllccrs with Jesus? How could oven n little Hock bo found who would bo of tho snmo spirit ns Jesus, n copy of him lu chnrnctcr? Tho Scriptural nnswer is that somo could Indeed bo found possessed of tho chnrnctcr likeness of Jesus In tho senso thnt they would tlatro to do perfectly, but iiono could bo found able to do per fectly, because nil nro sharers In In herited Bin. This Is n pnrt of tho "mystory" which gradually unfolds to thoso who hnvo tho hearing enr nnd tho understanding heart nnd Uio eye of faith. Tho Lord's explanation of tho matter is this: when Jesus had sncrlllccd his enrthly rights nnd hnd been received to spirit nature, nnd hnd tho earthly rlghUt nt his command to glvo away, "ho ascended up on high thero to appear in tho presenco of God for us." IIo nppenrcd for, on bohnlf of, nil who bcllovo In him nnd accept forgiveness of sins nud innko n conse cration of their nil to God's service. Hut Jesus did not ncccpt ns disciples thoso who mcroly bcllovcd nnd were Justified by faith. IIo attached anoth er condition, unmoly, thnt they must sncrlllco nil their enrthly rights nnd privileges ns ho did; othorwlso they could not bo his disciples. Unless they walked In bis footsteps of self sncrlflco they could not bo counted In ns his followers, members of his Ilody, shnrcrs of his coming glory nnd work. Ills words were, "If nny mnn would bo my disciple lot him tnko up his cross nnd follow nie, and where I am thero shall my disciple be." "Except n man forsake nil that ho hath ho can not bo my disciple." "Unless n mini love less father, mother, children and till else ho cannot bo my disciple." "IIo that loseth his llfo for my sake shall Hud It." In other words tlio lord's proposi tion to the Church Is that nil tho earth ly rltihtn uf .Ulam (lost through disobe dience nnd redeemed by our Lord nt Calvary and now at his disposal! nre Imputed to those who, during this (loHpol Age, turn from sin, accept Christ as their Itedeomer, nnd thou by consecration sncrlllco all earthly rights. In n word our Iord Jesus has n right to give the earthly rights, tho earth ly life and honor, to nny one person or to any number of persons of Adam's moo as something to sacrllko. When they do mentally saerlllco enrthly rights they receive Ihe begetting of tho holy Rplrlt to Ihe henvenly nnture. Hut that heavenly nature Itself they will not tecolvo until they shall have llulshed the wierllleo agreed upon. Thus ns Joans by keeping tho Lnw had it right to earthly perfection aud aarrlllced It. so those keeping tho Law In the spirit of their mlmls nml ac cepting the merit of Christ nn Justify ing them to restitution right and glory sacrifice these, use them In God's serv ice that thev may share Jesus' new nature aud alory Tlio merit at Ihe end of I lie )ohivI Aire will be the same merit of Jesus, nud will bo at his disposal, becntiso, although iHteeeii turtHigtt the Church, it will not have lawn kept by any member of tbe C'iiureh and Mill, therefore, be at our lAird'a dlsHMial at ttte eloeo of this Age. i!m dawning uf the XlUlenulal lay.

Tho Apoftle says that our Inl at Ids I'lrst Advent In his death became the Surtty" or guarantor of the New Covenant nut he did not seal the New Covenant nor put It Into force In any senee of the word, because. H vvtw a Covennnt "with natural Israel nnd if It hnd bcotl put Into fbrco It forthwith would have begun to bring blessings to Israel not to be theirs until nftcr spiritual Israel should hnvo been glorl Hed lu tho First Itesurrcctlou, Tho "mystcri" Is. then, that philosophy In tho dlvlno program which no one could have surmised In advance. God has been quietly taking from the world n great Messiah, a great Prophet, n great King, n grcnt Medlntor between God nnd the world. Jesus Is tho I lend nnd tho faithful members nre the Ilody. This Is the grcnt Medlntor of tho Now Covennnt. of which St. Fetor wrote, nnylng, "For Moses truly said unto the fnthors. A prophet shnll the Lord your God raise tip unto you of your breth ren, like unto mo (medlntor of tho Covennnt); hlm Hlinll yo honr In nil things, whatsoovur ho Hlinll sny unto you. And It shall come to pass, that overy soul, which will not honr thnt prophet, Bhnll bo destroyed from among tho puoplo" (Acts III, 22, 2tt). St. Paul styles Borah, Abraham's proper wife nnd the mother of Isaac, tho type of the henvenly Jerusalem, the heavenly Covenant of which wo nro tho children. "We. brethren, ns Isnac wns, nre the children of tho promise," "And If ye be Christ's, then nro yo Abraham's (Seed, and heirs according to the promise" (Gnlntlaus III, 20). Thus tho Church, Jesus the Ilend and the faithful, his members, constltuto tho great Deliverer which (Is born or) comes out of spiritual Ion nud which, under the New Covennnt, will turn nway ungodliness from Jncob natural Israel. Notice how tho Apostlo ex presses this snylug, "For this Is my Covenant unto them (tho Now Cove nnnt to natural Israel) when I Bhnll tnko nwny their sins." Wo tiro not to understand thnt tho mercy which they will receive under tho New Covenant Is purely the mercy of tho Church nud not tho mercy of tho Father and the Bon. Evidently he wishes us to remember that all things nro of tho Father nud nil things nro by tho Hon. God's mercy exercised through Christ nud Christ's mercy through tho Church will bless Israel under the provisions of their Now LawJ Covenant. Already indeed (by faith) has tbo Church been made rich by tho Lord's blessing in proportion us the exceed ing grent nnd precious promises hnvo been accepted: nnd If It will still fur ther make us rich through the "change" of the First Itesurrcctlou to glory, honor nud Immortality, what may wo not expect uf Its richness nnd blessing townrd the Jew7 Surely tho blessing of the Lord will mnko Israel rich nnd honorable. Israel's blessing will be national as well as personal. Indeed, us soon ns tbo Millennial King dom shnll have been established, the blessing of the Lord will mean DUlue favor In' all the natural affairs of llfo to all those who are truly his "to tho Jew Drat." As u people they will bo the Hrst to bo ready for tho Dhlno guidance after the great tlmo of trou ble with which this present ago will close. Christendom In general has lit tle knowledge of coming restitution, to nil that which was lest In Kden. Christendom lu general expects to go ulther to heaven or Purgatory or eter nal torment, but many Jews know their lllblo better than this; that tbo blessings promised nro enrthly ones "Times of restitution of nil things spoken by (ho mouth of nil tho holy prophets since tho world begnn" (Acts III, 20), With tho close of this ugo henvenly lioiurn will no longer bo hold forth to mankind, but, on tho contrary, earthly hopes, restitution. Israel, therefore, will be tho better prepared for th terms and conditions of tho New Cove nnut. , Itoaldos, amongst them will nt. peur Abraham, Isaac and Jacob uud all the prophets, perfected lu their resur rection nud constituting them the earthly representatives of tho Church, the henvenly Kingdom. Naturally they will be more ready to receive these than tho remainder of mankind, tie cause this Is the promise which God made to them-"l will lostore your Judges as nt Hh Hrst and your Inw KlvornHant the lMtglnnlug" (lealah l.'.Hh.
