FeaStS Of Life and Death.


REV. CO.. ulckuk, ra.rorol tnr tarmmnon

Nuur attention is directed this
morning to two Biblical frastS; one
III the Old Testament, the other IN
the New. One feast of sin, re
suting in death; the other II feast
of righteousness, ending IN life,
The Old Testament feast is that
given by BrlShnzzar to Il thousand
of his lords. The New Testament
feast, that instituted by Christ he
fore His betrayal, known as the
Lord $ Supper.
The Old Testament feast Is illus

Its successive steps of degradation
are manifested. We know not the
conversation or songs or jrstlngS

that all of these were characterized
by impuriiy. Drinking, they de-

been consecratrd to God and taken
from the Temple by Nehuchadncz

true God. so sin manifests itself

one of the greatest evils to-day,
