with the washing of water by the
Word. - He first redeems the church
and then purifies it. Hyssor was the
little shrub with which sacrificial blond
was sprinkled. David's prayer then
was for atonement to answer for tho
guilt of his sin, and for the after
cleansing which should deliver him
from the sin itself.
At night DIR. Scofield resumed the
study of the Revelations. Smyrna, the
church during the ten great persecu.
tions. was followed by Pergamos, the
period ensuing upon the conversion of
the Emperor Constantine. when the
church. losing her appointed pilgrim
pathway, settled down in the world.
The speaker pointed out the proof OF
this: II know thy works and where
thou dwellest, where satan's throne
is" Satan. according to our Lord is
prince of this world, !" not king of the
lake CT fire. To dwell where satan S
throne is, then, is to live in and of the
world. Balaami7m is the doctrine justi-
flying this.
All this corruption of practice pro-
pared the way for Thyatira, which
answers to medieval Romanism. Jeze-
bel is the significant figure here. She
was the heather wife of Jewish king
she brought idolatry into Israel and
prosecuted the true prophets of God.

DIR. Scofield took up the spiritual
history Of Professionalism as developed il
the epistle to Sardis, Philadelphia
and Laodicea in the third chapter Of
the Revelation. He said that while
Sardis referred to the reformation which
under Luther broke the long might
which we call the dark ages, the de
scription was not Of the reformation ID
the glorious dawn of that movement Of
emancipation forlthe soul and intellect
of humanity, hut of the movement ID
its arrest, Its paralysis.
The Protestant movement split into
sects, based, not upon really funda
mental differences, but upon philo
sophical and inferential doctrines
Protestant preaching for 200 years came

Justification by faith and gave US tn,

certain distinctions Between thine

to Scripture there was difference bt

constantly indwelt, and by whom he
"sealed unto the day of redemption,
