of our declaration and concludes that
there will be Christian ministers
among the. lost. Hear him as he de-
clares: For remember how the Mas
ter said, in words which to me are the
most terrible in the Bible, Many will
say to me on that day, Lord, Lord, have
we not prophesied in Thy name? Gin
the Holy Scriptures the word prophesy
means not to predict the lfture, but to
preach. Have we not preached in Thy
name. and cast out devils in thy name,
and done many wonderful works. He
interprets as follows: PLAINLY, that
means effective preaching and efficient
working, so that souls are saved under
the influence of it. What answer Will
be made to those good preachers, TO
those earnest workers. TO those men
whose names were known to all in the
city where they lived for their elo-
quence. their public spirit, their zeal
their splendid ministry? Some there
will be among them to whom Christ
Will profess, ! never knew you, depart
from me, We that work iniquity." 80
Christian minister, able and orthodox
and pastor of a great parish, may ue-
scend the steps of his pulpit INTO the
bottomless pit! What a horrible PIC
ture! What a conglomeration the NJ
mixed paints produced by poor artist!
Verify. God has cast His people out III
darkness and they know 1t not.
The misinterpretati0n that Rev. Hodge
puts upon the text shows that he does
not know. and has not comprehehd-
ed what has befallen Israel, so we must
repeat. What has happened to them IN
part has happened unto us. What types
they had to fulfill we must complete. II
was prophesied by Isaiah that CHRIST
should come and deliver the people out
of darkness. In chapter 42:6, T. ne
saws: q. the Lord, have called thee III
righteousness. and will hold thine
hand. and will keep thee aud give thee
for covenant of the people, TOT lighI
to the Gentiles; to open the Dllnd eyes
to bring out the prisoners from 1ne
prison. and them that sit in darkness
out of the prison house Now, inns

of those ministers WHO, ne declares

tbe INTERPRETATION Of hose things whlch
have come to pass and those which are

even as in the Odd verse of our CHOSEN

IS taken from Aveu, Hebrew, ana we

of Cbrist's denunciation. But let us
nrrsua urthrr the object Of our pur-
suu and not delay too .ong on this.
Tn the 24a verse, then, we would
state that the counterpart Of all these
things. and upon which mus be Is ab-
Be5ed and from which there shall be
no over brow. Christ declares, There
