Rev. George Edward Walk continued
his series of sermons on the omniscience
of God at Trinity Church yesterday morn
ing. Rev. Mr.. Walk took his text from
Revelations ills: Unto the angel of the
church in Thyatira write: These things
saith the Son of God. who hath his ewes
like unto a fame of fire aud his feet like
fine brass"
In this letter." said Rev. Mr.. Walk,
''the Divine Speaker is identified by his
eyes and his feet His eyes were like a
fame of fire and his feet were like fine
brass. He is also called the Son of God. ,
whereas in the vision he is called the son
of man. but he is Immediately invested
with such attributes and dignities as to
leave no doubt who is meant.
The scriptures would apparently sane
ton the conclusion that the style Son of
IMAM was more especially adapted 10 our
Savior IN the days OF his humiliation; but
after his eXaltatlOn and coronation in the
heaven of heavens the form Of address
and the text seems 10 be in harmony with
his changed circumstances.
1T is far more natural for us to think
and speak of Him now as the Son of God
than a the Son of man. Then, too, that
part of His work which we may. for want
of better term. designate as human. has
been fully accomplished. He does not re-
peat His life in the flesh; onep:erfect hu-
man experience was sufficient.S
The people of His day saw in Him a
poor suffering man. whose preten sions
they could in no wise comprehend, whereas
we behold Him as the only rightful soyer-
elgD OF the universe, with well-esta blisned
claims 10 the chief honors of all worlds.
"The eye is unQuestiOnably the most
striking and wonderful, not to say beauti-
full, feature OF the human face. 1t is the
- which piEaG tn Tho
nance. 1t IS the eye that we notice first
and remember longest. The soul ex-
presses itself through the eye, or as the
poet has said: The eye is the window of
the SOUL L am not therefore surprised
that the inspired writer speaks partieu-
larry OF the eyes of the Son of God, His
eyes were like flame of fire. We would
expect Him to have such eyes. Fire In the
Scriptures is represented as the symbol of
JehoVah's presence and the instrument Of
his power, in the way either of approval or
of destruction.
but his.feet were like fee brass, as if
they were burned in furnace In the
scriptures the feet Symbolic stability
He brought me up out OF a horrible pit,
out Of the miry. clay. and set my feet upou
a rock
Brass is symbol Of strength and firm
ness, hence we say as strong as brass or
as imperishable as brass We say of a man
whose business reputation is we'll estab-
lished that he stands on bis feet, or we say
OF the good ana noble deeds of a heroic
life that they are as imperishable as brass
or marble.
Now in the vision the feet OF the Son of
God form most prominent and cOnspicu-
Gus feature. and when you wish to express
the idea of both stability and strength the
force OF language can go no further than
to say that a man is on his feet and that
his feet are like brass.

the omniscient. the stable and the strong.
lie sees and knows all things. He is i'm
mutable ana eternal, and he was strong
enough to overcome death and hell"
