saving meaning still is JEsus CHRIST! And then an angel
comes from heaven and tells Joseph concerning the child,
" Thou shalt call his name Jesus for he shall save his people
from their sins ;" and from that time the sound, as well as
the meaning, is Jesus Christ—Jesus Christ circumcised, prt
Jesus Christ baptised, Jesus Christ anointed by the Holy. i
Spirit, Jesus Christ led into the wilderness and tempted of the
devil, Jesus Christ victorious aver Satan, Jesus Christ work-

tormented, crucified, dead, risen again, ascended, receiving
and sending the Holy Spirit, waiting in long-suffering pa- ,
tience, coming again in glory; and at that word "coming I sor

is delivered from toil and trouble; and the kingdoms of
this world are become the kingdoms of the Lord and
his Christ, and are singing "blessing and honour and
power unto Him that sitteth upon the throne !" Still the
chorus swells, and still the praises cfJehovali roll along until

every creature that is in heaven and that is in earn.,
is under the earth, arkl that is in the sea, and all that ts
them join in that great consecration hymn of everlasting
triumph, " Blessing and honour and glory and power unto
