Of the people After the bullock was
slain. then incense was burned by the
priest. Frequent reference is made in the
Bible 10 II. After this two goats are
taken and one OF them slain. the blood
taken and sprinlled on the altar within.
The blood OF the bullock was for the
atOnement for sin of the priest and his
family. The blood Of the goat for the sin
offering OF the people. The other goat
was then taken in. and the priest laying
hands on it, imputed the sins Of the
people for one year on IL. The goat was
then taken out 10 the desert and left
but was never TO come back into the
camp. The lsraelites looked forward be-
yond all this as only type OF what was
10 come We have three types on the
Day of Atonement. The goats. the priest.
and the man. The goats represent the
sacriflcial work Of Jesus Christ. These are
only for a purpose. They can never take
the place Of Christ Jesus Christ went
down into the grave carrying our sins
with him, but he rose from the grave and
left them there. The two goats represent
a double type. one was slain for our sins,
and the other bare them away.

not prosper, but when God covers them

grand thought it IS that the divine mind
that can do all things, that even knows
the number Of hairs in our heads. can
put our sins away from his mind. The
devil can bring our sins before US, and
he does. but, thank God. he cannot
bring them before the mind OF our God.
The Puritans used 70 speak Of the atone
ment as being at-One-ment God and
man are one. even as Jacob and Esau
were one after God had met Esau even
before Jacobs flock.
What hinders us then from coming TO
Christ 10 have our sins atOned for2
1t is our own hell-born unbelief. Shall
we not believe on the Savior according
TO the Old Testament. Believe what Moses
says. what the Psalms say? He has blot
ted out all our transgressions. The Bible
IS full Of these sayings. My sin IS blot
ted out" God has made provision In the
death Of his son by which his hood
washes away our sin, even as the waves
Of the sea-shore wash away imprints on
the sand. 1.-The blood Of Jesus Christ
cleanseth fromm all sin"
Or. Needham related an incident Of his
preaching in the North. He was preach
ing one Sunday in a little village. and
tried that day 10 make the message par
ticularly simple. AT the close one man,
sevonty-nye years Of age. told him that
he had been a Christian fifty years, but
up 10 that time he was not sure Of sal
vation. but he thanked God that from
that day out he was sure. Christ does
not want US to serve him from duty but
from love. Duty is too cold; we want
service from love.
