THE RELIGION OFCHRIST.

Our. Lord spoke this parable unto
the Jews (Matt. 21:28-32): But what
think We? A certain man had two
sons, and be came to the first and
said, 'Son, go work today in my vine
yard" He answered and said, II will
not" but afterward he repented and
went. And he came to the second who
said, II go, SIR and went not. With
er of them twain did the will of his
father? They say unto him the first
Jesus saith unto them, ''Verily I say
unto you, that. the publicans and the
harlots go into the kingdom of God
before you, for John came unto you in
the way of righteousness and We be-
lieved him not, but the publicans and
the harlots believed him: and We, when
We had seen it repented not afterward,
that We might believe him" When
our Lord spake this parable unto the
Jews in reference to the Gentiles and
the Jews, He came first to the GENTLE
and asked him to work, and he re-
fused, but afterward he repented and
went H e said this to him Matt.
12:18-2D::" Behold my servant whom 4
have chosen, my beloved in whom my
soul is well pleased. T will put my
spirit upon him and he shall show
judgment to the Gentiles and in His
name shall the Gentiles trust"
Genesis IL, and the Lord said unto
Noah: "Come, thou and all thy house
into the ark, for in thee have I seen
righteousness before Me in this gener-
alton" Genesis 9:8-8, and God spake
unto Noah, and to his sons with him,
saying: "And I, behold, establish my
covenant with you, and with your seed
after you. Genesis 10:1-5. Now these
are the generations Of the sons of
Noah: Shem, Ham and Japheth, and
unto them were sons born after the
flood; the sons of Japheth, Conner, and
Magog, and Madai, and Javan, and Tu-
bal, and Metshech. Tiras; and the sons
of Conner AshkenaZ, and Riphath, To-
garmah; and the sons Of Javan,
Elishah, and Tarshish, Kittim, and
Dodanim. By these were the Isles Of
the Gentiles divided in their lands,
everyone after his tongue, after their
families, in their nations.
Genesis 11:5-8, and the Lord came
dom to see the city, and the tower
which the children of men builded, and
the Lord said, Behold, the people is
one, and they have all one language,
and this they begin to do, and now
nothing will be restrained from them;
which they have imagined to do,.go to-
! Let us go down and there confound
derstald one another's speech" So
thence upon the fact of all the earth
| and they left off to build the city.
Now the LORD did not confound the
language of the Genti1es because they
!. had begun to build a city, but because
of their unbelief, for God had prom
/ ised Noah that He would not send an
, other flood to destroy all flesh again
] as He had done, but they went to work
| to build a tower for their safety fol
/ fear that; they would be bletted out
and their name Would be blptted out
and God scattered them and called fol
the second son.
| Genesis 12::1-3. Now the Lord had
! said unto Abram: Get thee out of thy
country, and from thy kindred, and
from thy fathers house. unto land
that will show thee; and I will make
Of thee great nation, and will bless
thee and make thy name great; and
thou shalt be a blessing. z
