four thousand years, Eat sundry times and in
divers manners" Gin the fullness of time,"
Jesus Christ came in person and taught the
way of God perfectly.
During the patriarchal period, the will of
God for our salvation was communicated to
the heads of families, and by them to their
posterity. While the children of Israel were
in Egypt, the slaves Of Pharaoh, the commu-
nication of the divine will was partially sus-
pended. Near the close of that captivity,
Moses was chosen as the medium through
whom the divine will was communicated to
Gods chosen people. In the wilderness, at
Mount Sinai, the moral law was codifed and
given to the Israelites to be by them preserved
for all people, during all time After the
children of Israel reached the Promised Land,
God raised up prophets from the days of Sam
uel to Malachi, to whom he communicated, as
he saw fit his will for the salvation of sinners.
From Malachi to the coming of Jesus Christ,
a period of about four hundred years, moral
darkness rested on the world. The human
family were granted ample time to devise
scheme and execute a plan by which they
might avert the wrath of God. 1t was fail
urea signal failure.
Proud imperial Rome had placed her foot
upon the necks of all the nations of the world,
robbed them of their national freedom, and
exterminated not only their forms Of religion,
but even banished from their minds the re-
straints of superstition. Rome, herself, began
to decay, and the world was threatened with'a
speedy termination. AT this critical juncture
the sun of righteousness came with healing in
his beams. Angels proclaimed his advent in
anthems full of glory to God, and containing
the joyful proclamation of peace on earth and
good will to man.
The last chapter of the Revelation contain
ing the will of God for our salvation was fill
ished on Patmos, barren Island in the Egean
sea. 1t concludes with asolemn warning that
''if any man shall add unto these things, God
shall add unto him the plaques that are writ
ten in this book and if any man shall take
away from the words of the book of this
prophecy, God shall take away his part out Of
the book of life"
This is the conclusion of the whole matter.
We have in the Scriptures the revelation Of
the plan of salvation, which the triune God
devised and executed. This revelation is made
by Jesus Christ, the prophet of his people, and
it is of Jesus Christ the prophet, priest and
king Of his people, All other prophets and
holy men only spoke as they were borne along
by the Holy Spirit. 2 Peter 1:21.

THE BEST WEAPoN.-Love is the best
weapon with which to conquer an enemy.

FAITH AND WoRKs.-It is a matter for as
tonishment that any should be idle when hap
piness in this life cannot possibly be found ex-
cept in dilgent work for the Master, and when
too, our eternal destiny is to be determined by
the character of our work here, for our work
is held to express our faith. A mans Life is
worse than a lieif it does not express his faith
for either the faith declared is not his belief,
or his acts belle his profession. And further
still, let it be remembered that the destiny OF
an immortal soul and the claims of God de-
mand the full and constant use of all our
powers There is no time for idleness. In
Gods economy rest is provided while We toll,
and the greater the toll the sweeter the rest

NOT FIT TO COME.-The awakened sinner,
who has knowledge of the gospel, knows that
Christ only can save him. lie knows that he
cannot atone for his past sins, nor work out
for himself righteousness for the future
He knows that he must receive pardon, saliva
tion, at the hands of Christ.
When Christ invites him to come and receive
pardon, he is not. ready to CO. Ask him why
he does not at once go as lost, helpless SIM
ner, to receive pardon and eternal life, and he
says he has not feeling enough. He feels anx-
ious and desires pardon, but he does not feel
that sharp distress, bordering on frenzy, which
he thinks is necessary to repentance and prep
aration for pardon. He confounds penitence
with distress of mind lie is waiting for
more feeling. That he thinks, though he does
not say so, will recommend him to the mercy
of Christ.
Another does not 60 to Christ and receive
pardon because he is such great sinner He
is not mistaken in regard to the fact that he
is great sinner But Christ's offer ofpardon
is not limited to moderate sinners. lie has
saved and is willing to save the chief of sin
ners. No man who comes to him as small
sinner will be saved. No man who comes to
him with an atonement for a part of his sins
will be saved. He who comes to him as pen
itent sinner, however great his sins, will be
saved. Though his sins be us scarlet, they
shall be white as snow.
Another does not 60 to Christ because he
has not broken off from his sins. He has re-
Trained from some open transgressions, and
has tried to lead new life; but he finds that
his sins remain. He thinks he must not 60 to
Christ till he has made himself better. Hence
he delays.
Thus sinners do not 90 to Christ because
they are not fit togo. Those who perseyere'in
their purpose of becoming fit, nevergo. Those
who become convinced of their folly and sin
in making terms which Christ has not made,
and who sees that they must 60 to him just as
they are, and rely upon his promise for pardon
and deiverance from sin, will be saved, or
rather are saved.-Jos. Alden, D. D. -~ '-----

HOME INFLUENCE.-Our home influence is
not passing but an abiding one &; and all-pow-
erful for good or evil, for peace or strife, for
happiness or misery. Each separate home has
been lkened to central sun, around which
revoves a happy and united band of warm
loving hearts, acting, thinking, rejoicing. and
sorrowing together Which member OF the
family group can say, have no influence =?
What sorrow, or what happiness lies in the
power of each? "a lighted lamp. writes
McCheyne, lis very small thing, and it
burns calmly and without noise, yet it giveth
light to all who are within the house. And so
there is a quiet influence which, like the flame
of scented lamp, fills many home with
light and fragrance. Such an influence has
been beautifully compared to "a carpet, soft
and deep, which, while it diffuses look of
ample comfort, deadens many creaking sound.
1t is the curtain which from many a beloved
form wards off at once the summers glow and
the winters wind. 1t is the pillow on which
sickness lays it's head, and forgets half it's mis-
ery.' This influence falls as the refreshing
dew, the invigorating sunbeam, the fertiIizing
shower, shining on all with the mild lustre OF
moonlight, and harmonizing in one soft tint
many Of the discordant hues of family pic
ture.'
