Seventh Letter.
From Genesis to Revelation chain of
prophetic declaration heralds the culmi-
mating forces and final conflict of virtue
and vice. Yelled in mystic figure these
engagements come to us from every atti-
tude of beatiic vision, along the entire
line of their travel, from birth till dis
aster and defeat buries vice and crowns
virtue with final triumph. In Eden the
first clash of arms presents serpent
bruising the heel Of our first parents by
lies and subtlety facing a positive de-
claration from Deity, that they some day
in turn, bruise his head. Other figures,
in panoply divine, present the rank and
file of light and darkness gog and ma
gog, the dragon, war in heaven etc, the
wind-up of which is so graphically de-
scribed by John, the Revelator.

Henry, God and the people shout, LET

every eye, tongue and gesture battery,
from which issue an unbroken line of
red-hot shot and shell : the passions of
men are frenzied by wrongs, their en-
durance is at white heat, ready to ex-

Virtue and Christ are synonym terms.
Virtue is the character; Christ the Of
hcial name of the person bearing it IN
type for the human race. When ciyiliz-
alton has Lifted the race TO the point nee
essary, it will become the lion of Judah
and break ali its chains. This lion al
ready shaking Ills name and stock in his
chains is not worth 4 nickel on the dol
lar. The aggregate of human virtue will
take away all the sins Of the world !;
nothing else was ever ordained or in
tended to remove one single sin. I'm
puted righteousness is imputed nonsense.
Theology now tenders the compulsory
admission that every prophecy or prom
Use spoken Of Christ VAS spoken to the
race Of man through him. This is truth
For four thousand years previous to the
coming of Christ God had taught His
Son by dead letters, symbol and shadow,
that the road to God-head at first, lay
through carnage and blood. The coming
of Christ announced that our mental
and moral elevation admitted Of higher
instruction. Christ was our first living
model, picture hung on the walls of

in careful imitation Of His life, We should

of anguish, My God why hast thou

for ears has fallen from ours. The
rocks rent and earth quaked His eulogy,
and is beginning ours by dynamite. He

and assembled to glory all of which We
are now able and will surely do.
On mock trial, in Pilates hall, the
world stands to-day ON the selfsame
cross, but infinitely more rugged, the
world hangs to-day. He was the door,
through which we the sheep, must enter
the door and lie down safely in govern

TITLES OF CHRIST.
Prophecy gave to Jesus Christ title
and off &c that in his life fell infinitely
short of their promise. He displayed
the character that should fill the office
when the race, the sons of God, should
acquire it, and thereby stimulated effort
togain it.. Theology admits this, but
teaches that this same Christ must come
again to earth with sufficient power to
claim the promise. The second coming
