Dr. smith then announced his text as fol-

| Inc reverend speaker stated this TO be the
last OF series OF sermons on knowledge.

every consideration, and In the accomplish
ment OF II he suffered all things. To all In

i travels to the Holy Land.
} THIS tabernacle was the covering for the
sacred arc OF the covenant, which was care.
fully and rcllgiously guarded. Our bodies
h are IKE unto this tabernacle. They are tenn
pies OF the Holy Ghost, aud no man has q
r right to denlo his body. The apostle put:
i In contrast the spiritual with the temporal
, the seen with the unseen. 1t Is appointed
= uuto all once to die, and this appointment
, Gun never be revoked. 1t behooves each Of
a US to know this whole subject that we may
!, secure eternal life. This we do know: that
:, all that have lived have died; that In US are
. the seeds of decay, and the Indications are
not few that this tabernacle will be taken
i down. Even II We reach seventy years tn,
end Is death.
This appointment Is Of God, and for q
wise and gracious purpose. The scen now
snail De seen no more, and the unseen shall
be revealed in full glory. There will be no
night there. sorrow and signing Will be un-
known because no sin can enter there. This
mortal shall put on Immortality, and this
corruption shall put on interruption. None
can enter there except those who have been
r redeemed from all sin and iniquity by his
, precious blood. Paul says we know" lie

was no prophet. All his knowledge was
derived from dillgent searching OF the
