love lie sent His son into the world to say,
that which was lost, that In love He gave all
Into the hands OF His son.
John ill, 35-"The Father loveth the Sor
and hath given all things into his hand
John xvii, .-"As thou hast given him
power over @i fiesh that he should give eter
nal life to as many as Thou hast given him y
Col. !, l9-"For it pleased the Father tina,
In him should all fallness dwell"
For what purpose did the Father give al
things into the hands Of his SOM that he
might reign until he had put all enemies un
der his feet.
First Cor. ", 24--"Then cometh the end
when he shall have delivered up the king
dom to God, even the Father; when he shall
have put down all rule and all authority and
power" 25--"Fer He must reign until II.
hath put all enemies under his feet" a.
The last enemy that shall be destroyed Il
DEATH"
er, he died 10 save all aud to reconcile all
unto Himself
Col. /, 20 - And having made peace
through the blood Of His cross, by him TO
reconcile all things unto himself, by him,
say, whether they be things In earth or
things in Heaven"
cannot believe that all these proofs OF
love shown by the Father and Son are falla.
cions, vain receptions, or that they are in
viour are partial, but that on the contrary,
every act since the creation shows that God
love Is infinite, and that IN His own good
time all will be gathered into his kingdom.
Eph. |, lo-"That in the dispensat'on of
the fclness of times, He might gather to.
gethcr in one all things in Christ, both which
are in Heaven, and which are on earth, even
in Him"
Rom viii, 3s-"For | am persuaded that
neither death nor life, nor angels, nor prin-
cipalities, nor powers, nor things present.
nor things to come. 3s-"Nor height, nor
depth, nor any creature shall be able TO sep
arate rs from the love OF God, which is In
Christ Jesus our Lord"
Tim. iv, l0-"For therefore we both labor
and suffer reproach. because We trust in the
living God, who is the saviour of all men,
especially OF those that believe"
But believe that God Is God Of truth
and justice, and he has said he would render
TO every man according to his deeds.
Rom. il, 6-"Who will render TO every man
according to his deeds" il--@For there is
no respect Of person with God"
do not believe that a hasty death bed re-
pentesce will do away with this just render.

Math. xvi, 2.-"And then lie shall reward
every man according to his works.
| believe that the effect of the sins com
mittcd by us. and unatoned for by cody
sorrow and forsaking OF such sins while ct
we are in unemployment OF life and strength
to continue in the commission, and enjoy
the questionable pleasure of such sins, will
deprive US Of that full measure Of happiness
we might have entered into the enjoyment
OF, on passing from this life to the life to
come, II our lives had been spent in striving
TO do right.
Rev. Xxx, 12-"And another book was
opened, which Is the book of life. and the
dead were judged out OF those things which
were ritten In the book according to their
works."
Second Cor. v, 10-"For we must all APP
pear before the judgment seat OF Christ, that
every one may receive the things done In his
body according to that he hath done, wheth-
er 1t be good or bad"
But, as believe in eternal progress, be-
lieve God has provided way Tor all to pro-
gress until oil shall rejoice In the full glory
of his presence. Yet when look back over
my life Of more than seventy years,I can re-
alize how vain and feeting are the enjoy
ments Of sin, with how much pleasure re-
call the few good deeds, and with sorrow the
many evil ones, l realize how much better 1t
is for all to strive to do right while this short
life lasts, as each and every one by his
course of life Will either increase or dimin-
ish his capacity for enjoyment in future
state. This sentiment Is most beautifully
expressed by French on the PARALLELS, he

biessedness OF the future world, then tney

here made in humanity, in holiness, in love,
