works We need TO be holy in order
to enter heaven. He sauctihCs us by his
word and spirit.
This is pledge lesson, EudeavOrors.
let US remember that our pledge is only
concise statement OF What God has
put into our covenant
The pledge specifies II makes plain
and specific what was before general
II indicates those thiugs which we are
inclined TO overlook and forget
The pledge emphasizes IL puts the
emphasis just where lr belongs If UC
put the accent on the wrong syllable of
a word We make the word wrong. or we
change the meaning. If we put the en-
phasis of Christian living in the wrong
place we either make our lives WRONG
or we make them have o different mean
Ing shan we intended Some make q
great deal of the Sabbath aEd make
every other day an unhOly dav. Some
are temperate as 10 intoXicants. but in
temperate I'm temper and speech. Dis
tribute the emphasis, put 10 where IL
belongs in order 10 make a perfect life
The pledge is iusistent- How prone ws
are 20 do the things Wc feel like doing
and only those. That is a poor kind OF
a religion which depends upon feeling
Some mtn-never pay a debt unless they
feel like it, We despise them. Tn,
pledge helps us TO do our duty, whether
we feel like IL OF not. IL makes us fee

Two covenants are mentioned in the
toned in our lesson. II is a covenant
of works. II is the covenant which God
made with MS people when he took them
by the hand TO lead them out Of Egypt.
This covenant had its solemn attesta-
tion at Sinai II was written on tablets
o. stone. It had its mediator-Moses ,
its altar. its blood Of TIE covenant. But
Il was weak through the flesh. because
its surety was sinful human nature. IL
was faulty. because its blood could not
atone. Its condition was. do and live.
The second covenant was the new
covenant II also has its solemn attes-
tation when a soul stands alone before
God and says: q bcIieye; ! take Jesus
as my Saviour" II is a written cove
nant. Il Will put my laws into their
minds, and 7 viii write them in their
hearts" I had a friend who said 10 me-.
why did not Jesus write something
1 said. He did" Every soul who has
been saved He has written His name in
the Lambs book OF life. and when He
had done this ,hen He wrote His new
covenant in that new heart. This cow
nant has its mediator-Jesus; its altar
the cross; its blood Of the new cove
nant, the blood OF Christ, which speak
eth better things than that OF Abel
The new covenant guarantees its owl
fulfllmenr. because its surety Is nO
guilty human nature, but Jesus Christ
Until Jesus fails our covenant stands
The human side would seem TO be IN,
weak side. But the human has been full
