lion Of Israel i and hence the kingdom Of,
heaven was preached At the resurrections
Of Christ the law ceased 10 be obligatory.
because the resurrection Of the Tesiaior was
proof that his testament was from heaven
and not Of men. Said prophet, in The
person Of Christ, Lo. come, in the vol.
ume of the Book it is written of me, to do ;
to executed thy will, @ .God'' Says the
apostle, " He laketh away the FIRST 81. 9. the
FIRST willy that he may establish. The seconds
Heb. <: 7,,9. .aa
But when did Jesus do this2 When did
the Savicr establish his testament? Why,
Of course, when he returned, "having re- 5
ceiyed the kingdom Was il not SOIL
ask. Now. till He should come as King
and Judge, to whom all judgmen, was con.-
mit,ed, maintain, was an interim, or inter-
mediate state. The law having lost its
RICH, 10 rule, but still men used its power,
but abided not justice. The priests would
not accept the GOSPEL: and during this peri
cd, Jesus, for the multiplicity Ct ordinances
under the law, gave bis disciples two, unto
the establishment of the everlasting gospel
or law of Christi The new testament, or
will Of God BY the Savior, was pu, on trial,
so 10 speak, at his rising, whether i, should
stand-be set up. The priesthood opposed
it-Ihe Sanhedrinl would1not give il place. 4
Baptism was given, ssignifying cleansing
unto the gift of the Holy Ghost, which lat
ter must be possessed to be heirs ,ofthe
kingdom: and the supper was granted en-
bienaticaI of the spiritual richness Of his
kingdom, was granted to be observed in re-
membrance Of him, that he. would come
again and take the kingdom from Moses's
disciples, and confer i. on bis own; as He
said, Fear not, little flock. il is your Faith
er's good pleasure to give you the kingdom"
AT the end Of that generation, the time
appointed-e while some of those lived
who al certain time stood there, came The
| Son of Man in his kingdom. Hear the
prophet: 81 beheld till the thrones were
cast down, and The ancient Of days did sir,
! whose garment was white as snow, and the
hair of his head like The pure wool; his
throne was like the fiery fame, and his
| wheels like burning fire. A fiery stream
issued and came forth from before him;
| thousand thousands minisiered unto HIM,
and ten thousand times ten thousand stood
1 before him: the judgment was sci, and the
books were opened. Dan. vii: g, 10.

baptism in the Union Herald, of Cazenovia.

SO earnestly for the ordinance as TO almost
lose sight Of The spirituality Of which bap-.
tism is but shadow. The souls Of others
seemed so imbued with the spirit as TO not
perceive that Jesus ever intended that water
