NOTES BY THE EDITOR.

(D A candid acknowledgment. Is il
not probable that Christ had still another
object in view, besides the display of the
miracle in healing2 Is it not reasonable
TO suppose that he would teach his disci-
pies the great Distinguishing Characters
tic Of his kingdom, viz its peacefulness-
lis dependence, not on an arm of flesh, but
on the potency of peacefulness itself, and
the protection of the God of peace, who is
able, without the help OF human violence,
to make all opposition to his Son, the
Prince of Peace, 60 backward and fall TO
the ground2 When Peter had smtten
with the sword, on the occasion referred
to, Christ said 10 him." Put up thy
sword into his place: for all they that
take the sword shall perish with the sword.
Thinkest thou that cannot now pray to
my Father, and he shall presently give
me more than twelve iegions of angels"
Again he said" My kingdom is not of
this world: if my kingdom were of this
world then Would my servants fight"
His followers had not yet understood but
that his kingdom was TO be human gov

umph by human violence. He would
teach them that it was another thing al
