Text; Psalm, S9:l5.

The speaker said in part:
The old testament is shadow Of the
New. Its types and symbols, rise like
cleaning sign boards out of the dark
Eess, pointing to the glorious realities
OF the gospel dispensGtion. So our text
has its primary meaning in the old, but
its ultimate in the New. "The Year of
Jubilee" came once in fifty years Then

day when thousands of the poor bur

race was in debt to God and could not
pay. Jesus came to proclaim the glor-
ious year Uf spiritual Jubilee. Behold
scene in Heaven. Man had sinned
and fallen. Ills case was being tried in
the celes ial court. The hosts of the

unto the "son of man" came forth. His
ves.mcnts were most royal; upon his
brow were many crowns, while the
clouds, intrrmingled with fire, rolled at
his feet. Every eye was upon him. lie
raised his hand as though he would

Years ago, a number Of children were
stolen from their parents by the In.
dians. Twenty years, afterward, one Of
the girls was rescued; many mothers
came together to find out whose daugh'

ble to tell, she had forgotten almost all
uf her native tongue. AT last one OF the
mothers recollecled that, size WAS wont
to put her darling TO sleep when child,

Let Me to Thy Bosom Fly, etc " She
began to sing il, The girl looked up
with a strange, wild look she seemed
lost in thought, aud then an effulgrnce,
like the sun, oyerspread her face, and
with cry Of delight, she flew into the
arms Of the rejoicing mo,her. o let us
blow the golden trumpet OF the gospel,
let us preach aud sing the song Of
"Moses and the Lamb, " and all deyout
so Ils, all earnest souls, will flee 20
the arms OF our Lord Jesus Christ
"Blnw ye The trumpet blow,
The plad aud solemn sound,
L,i all the nations know,
To eiuh'- rrm0test brund,
T. e year Of Julilre is come,
The year uf Jubilee IL come,
Return, We ransomed sinner home.
