THE AFTERNOON
The afternoon meeting held at Or. Cuyler's
churcn About 200 were present This meeting was
under the direction OF Mr.. Necdham DR.. Cuyler sat
in the 'front.' scat, listening very atentiyely TO Mr.
Needham's very earnest discourse
The subject was "Lepers and Lcprosy." Mr. Needham
read part OF the thirteenth chapter Leycus where
we are told II there is only spot utterly un-
clean. It is in the system ana breaking out, but
the he covered with the eprosy then he is
pronounced clean That seems strange but as as
man is white with leprosy he is fit subject for the
priest So with us, when Christ looks and secs the
plague spot, He pronounces unclean, but when we
are putrid with uncleanlness then we are
SUBJECTS
to come to the priest You the leper cleansed
when all the leprosy came out but leper cannot como
into fellowship TIL tpe priest pronounces him clean
This Is very interesting because II IS type. All
Scripture is given by inspiration, and in all these
types have Jesus This sets forth Jesus our My
mode Of salvation. The leper Jesus healed came
to the priest and there he Stood and as
he had finished his work then the man began to work,
but till the priest pronounced him clean, he did not
hft his finger We ind this an antetype to the Lord
Jesus Christ All efforts useless I'LL Christ
makes atonement and says, 1T is finished" Note,
the priest takes two birds wrings the neck Of one and
dips the living bird in tho blood and then let's IL fly,
then sprinkes the eper seven times with the blood,
and he healed Why two birdsY Because the two are
needfu 10 bring out great truths The bird Killed
brings out the truth OF Christ dying for sinners;
without the shedding of blood there is remission of
sins but that is not enough. We must have the
resurrection As the living bird In the ar so
Christ rose from the tomb and ascended to heaven II
Christ had remained IN the grave we would not know
recton IS the receipt fun that God accepted the Offer
ing We have Gods great evidence 10 US that we are
cleansed am not speaking about the matter OF per-
fcction have the old Adam N US, and II Will be
cropping out; but regards sins before God,
Christ has put them away. Then when n man is
cleansed he must work; the moment man stands ac-
cepted by Christ he begins TO live lie OF activity Tor
Him.
Another thought in connection with lepers. A Ieper
have the temple but cleansed leper
an accepted worshpper There is great deal OF
FALsB woRsulPPNG
abroad but cannot work until he becomes spirit
ual and, Scripturaly speaking none are worshippers
but believers
The last thought-A cleansed leper has been touched
BY the blood and he is consecrated with the service
and work Of the Lord God OF Israel God has put His
mark on you and because you not your own glory
God IN your body The body the spirits temple and
not be dehled. Preserve your body reasonable
sacrifice unto Christ. May God help to realize this
mighty power and know that God has dedicated US as
children and the world looks upon may they
take knowledge that are living in Christ
