The Pharisees,

At the coming OF our uoru lhe
Pharisees were the most prominent
and influential sect or party of the
Jewish people. Respecting their Or
igin we have no certain knowledge.
they are referred to by Josephus in
connection with the priesthood of
Jonathan about $50 years before
Christ, and it is not improbable that
they may have taken their rise soon
after the Babylonish captivity.
The word Pharisces signifies sepa.
ratists, and seems to have been either
chosen by themselves o. applied to
them by others rs d designation OF
their austere and ascetic manner OF
life. They affected great purity and
sanctity of morals, and held them.
selves quite aloof from the mass OF
the people. Their real character
however, was vain and hypocritlcal IN
the last degree. While they made an
ostentatious display of their plcty, al
heart they were grossly corrupt
They werc ambitious Of exerting q
controlling influence both in church
and state, and they appear to have
been regarded by the mass of their
countrymen with great Difference
The carefulness with which they Oh
served the forms of their religion
gave them a reputation for piety.
So far as related to the teachings
of the Old Testament Scriptures theil
doctrinal views were in the main cor
rect. They have been represented as
holding that all things were controlled
by fate, but they recognized the free
dom Of the will, and it is probable
that what has been understood as
fate was simply the Scripture doctrine
of the divine sovereignty. 1t tappearf
from the New Testament that theil
views of the resurrection and tho fu
turc life was essentially orthodox
Their views of the plan of salvation
or on the question, How shall man be
lust with God7 wero altogether erro
neous and grossly pernicious. 1t was
OH GCCOuuU VI lllCil IaioO hOViOho va
this subject, not less than the corrup
ton of their moral character, that
they were led to reject Christ.
But IN addition to the law of Moses
they held to a multitude Of precepts.
which they maintained d had come from
him by tradition. They regarded
them rs no less sacred than the writ
ten law. This was one great cause OF
their erroneous views and Ct the Cor.
ruption Of their character.
The Scribes were the official or pro.
fessional leaders of the sect of the
Pharisees, not q district body. They
were doctors or teachers of the law
They transcribed and expounded the
Scriptures, and taught the doctrines
of the Jewish religion. In addition
to these duties they conducted the
schools for the instruction of youth
Their profession of course gave them
great influence with the people-ar
influence which they exerted to the
utmost, especially during the latter
part of his ministry, against Christ
and his gospel.

As lie heard the voice of the ebbing

He has passed his threescore years and

Brother and parent, friend and wife,
Had drifted over the sea of life,
TO the peaceful shore where the saints
abide;
But he was left by the ebbing tide.
