cpptable in the sight of God our Say
ior. Who will have all men to be
saved, aud come unto the knowledge
of the truth.
See Ezekiel, S3-ll : Say unte
them as | live saith the Lord God,
have no pleasure in the death of the
wicked but that the wicked turr
from his way and live turn ye, turr
ye from your evil ways for why vii
you die, O house of Israel"
1t is Gods pleasure that the wicked
should turn and live. 1t is his pur
pose if they will not turn they mus
die.
I'd quotation, Ephesians 10, 10
"Having made known unto us the

Of fulness of times he might gather to

are on earth euen IN Him. Sec
Cor. 5-l7: "Therefore if any mar
be in Christ, he is new creature
Old things arc passed away; behold al
things are become new
These new creatures in Christ are
now, some iD heaven, their bodies ir
the grave, and some are on the earth.
What is the purpose ? That all thai
are in Christ will be gathered in one
glorious church. When ? St. John
5-2S, 20: "Marvel not at this fol
the hour is coming, in the which all
that are in the graves shall hear his
voice, and shall come forth they that
have done good, unto the resurrection
of life and they that have done evil,
unto the resurrection of damration. .

This chapter treats of the resurrec-
ton. To the resurrection of the body
it undoubtedly refers Take its con
nections ''For since by man came
death, by man came also the resurrec
tion of the dead. For as in Adam all
die even so in Christ shall all be made
alive. But every man in his own
order.

towards God, which they themselves
also allow, that there shall be res
direction OF the dead, both of the Just
and of the unjust See Matthew
from the 81 verse of the 25th chapter
to it's end. That takes all the sheep ::
not one of them is left out. To the
sheep, the righteous, he will say
"Come ye blessed of my Father, in
helit the kingdom prepared for you
from the foundation of the world. "
And to those on his left hand, "De-
part from me, ye cursed into everlast-

his angels
"Aud these shall 60 away into
everlasting punishment but the right

There is one safe way for us poor,
5lutul orms Of the dust. Believe in,
and follow Jesus then all will be
well, and safe.
