MOSES.

God, for the purpose of exhibiting to the
human family, in all future generations,
the strength of ADraham's faith, command
ed him to take his son Isaac into the land of
Moriah and there offer him up for a burnt
offering The marvellous strength of Abra-
hams faith, as exhibited on that occasion,
won for him the honorable title of "Father
of the faithful" On account of his prompt
ness in obeying this command Of God, it
is customary to speak of Abraham as the
most devoutly pious of all the Old Testa-
ment saints. The willingness of Abraham
to obey God, even to the extent of sacriti-
cling his son, whom he dearly loved, is re.
garded as the most wonderful exhibition of
the power of divine grace the world has
ever witnessed. That it does demonstrate
what grace can do, no one dare deny, but
that it is the most striking exhibition Of the
reforming and transforming power Of the
Holy Spirit upon the human heart, may
we'll be questioned. The most wonderful
exhibition of the power Of the Holy Spirit
is found in Moses. While the children of
Israel were still in the wilderness, spies
were sent to examine the land of Canaan,
which God had promised them for posses
sion, and to which they were journeying.
Two reports were made by these spies-one
favorable and the other unfavorable. The
neople m believed the unfavorable report and
began to murmur. Joshua and Caleb at
tempted to encourage the people to 60 for
ward in the discharge of their duty. For
this act of kindness, the shout was raised in
camp, 'stone them" At this critical juno
ture of affairs the "glory of the Lord ap-
peared in the tabernacle of the congregation
before all the children of Israel" God then
in the exercise of his prerogatives, said
unto. Moses, "How long will this people
provoke me? And how long will it be ere
they believe me, for all the signs which 1
have showed among them? God then made
the following proposition to Moses 81 will

THE FINAL JUDGMENT.

The doctrine of final judgment can be
clearly proven only by the Scriptures. The
same is true with regard to the doctrine OF
the resurrection. The two are intimately
and inseparably connected. All that unas-
sisted intellect can discover in regard to the
resurrection is very little. Neither expe-
rience nor observation teach US anything
on the subject. The sum of the whole that
we can learn outside of the Bible with re-
spect to the resurrection of the dead is, that
the doctrine is beyond the discoveries of
reason, but not contrary to reason. No one
will deny that God can, if he so determines,
raise the dead. This is about all that we
are able, without the Bible, to conclude re-
specting the resurrection of the dead. No
events come under our observation which
fully corroborate the fact. With respect to
final judgment it is different The teach
ings of the Bible on this subject are corrob-
grated by events which take place every
day, under our observation. Let it be ad-
mitted that man is an immortal being, and
that he is accountable for his acts. A few
will deny that man is an immortal being,
but the number is so few that they need not
be regarded. All men, everywhere, are
forced to admit that man is accountable for
his acts. No one will claim that any law of
God can be violated with impunity. All
have an experimental knowledge Of this
fact. Admit that man is On immortal being
and that he is accountable for his acts, and
final judgment seems to be necessity.
No one will claim that justice is either fair
ly or fully administered in this word. None
of the human family deserve anything good.
All are guilty, but the ratio of sin and pun
ishment is not strictly observed. The great
est violaters of law are not punished the
most severely. This has always been the
case. While no trangressor entirely escapes,
the most law-abiding frequently suffers
more than the greatest outlaws. There
must be court of final resort in which JUS
tice is meted out with an evenhand, and all
wrongs righted. The Bible teaches us that
at the last day every member of the human
family will be rewarded according to the
deeds done in the body, whether good or
bad, and to the teaching of the Bible on this
subject, asense of justice, as it still exists in
mans soul, says AMEN.

smite them with the pestilence, and disin-
herit them, and make thee greater nation
and mightier than they" This proposition
Moses did not accept. He knew what God
had promised to do for the seed of Abraham.
He knew that God had promised to make
Abraham the father Of nations Yet he re-
Iiected the proposition in which God PROM
ised to make of him a greater nation and
mightier than he had promised to make of
Abraham. He rejected all the wealth, and
honorand fame which would attenda nation
greater and mightier than that which de-
Scended from Abraham, and for whom God
had done so much in Hams land. Never
did any mere man give such an exhibition
of pure unselfshness as Moses did on that
occasion. The reason which he gives fer
not accepting the proposition is the most re-
markable feature of the whole transaction.
'The Egyptians" he says, "shall hear it,,
and through them, all the inhabitants of
the earth shall hear of it, and say the God
ised, therefore, he slew his people in the
Wilderness"
Moses seems to have been insensible to
everything except the glory of God. Gods
glory was more to him than his becoming
the father of great and prosperous nation.
The question may be asked, "Was God
really in earnest in the offer which he made
to Moses We reply, yes. Had Moses ac-
cepted, God certainly would have swept,
with the besom of destruction, the host OF
the children of Israel from the face of the
earth, and made of Moses and his descend
ants all that he has made of Israel. Again
it may be asked, "What then would have
become of the many promises which God
made to faithful Abraham ?" We reply,
they would all have been faithfully, to the
letter, fulfilled. Moses was descendant of
Abraham Finally, it may be asked, Why
did God not make Moses the head and chief
of a great and mighty nation? Apparent
ly the pivot on which this whole matter
turned was the entreaty of Moses. Beyond
this, we can only conjecture.
