Sundny, Oct. 10.-rns(or Russell, of
Hrooklyn Tnbcrnnclc, pronchod today
from tho text, "Tho blessing of tho
Iml, It maketh rJcli, nml Hcnddoth
no sorrow therewith." 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?

perfectly, nnd If ho cuuld keep It only
becnusc ho was not n momhor of
Adam's rnco directly, nnd If only by
kcoplng tho DIvluu Lnw perfectly Jtf
bus could be accounted- worthy to bo
n sacrlflcor nnd bo received to hoavon
ly glory, how could any of the fnllen
rnco bo acceptable? 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.

for the benefit of mankind In geuoml.
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
