g and instructive sermon on Confrma-
on, the subject of which was "The
) al of the Lord" the text being the
tnirtieth verse of the fourth chapter of
S. Paul's Epistle to the Ephesians.
He said, in part The New Testament
sometimes uses different names for Ger.
tain things, from those we use in com
mon conversation For instance. what
we call Sunday, I've should never say
Sabbath, for that was the Jewish festi-
val, and is not Christian one), the New
Testament speaks of as the "first day OF
the week, or 1.-The Lords Day" Again
what we commonly speak of as the Holy
Communion, or the Lords Supper, is
called in the New Testament, the Eu-
charist, meaning thanksgiving, or The
Breaking Of Bread. So Confirmation is
called The Seal. Thrice s. Paul so
speaks of it. A Seal is used on docu.
ments for further confirmation of state
ment. 1t marks the document as the
act of the person who affixes the seal.
But the impression can only be made on
a substance soft enough to receive the
impression. A common seal, such as is
used on documents cannot impress stone,
wood, or even sealing wax until it is
softened by heat. So, in order that our
souls may receive the seal of the Lord,
we must yield our hearts to the impress
sion. Again. for our comfort, we may
|
be reminded that if the first impression
is not perfect, the process of sealing has
to be repeated. We are being sealed
unto the day Of redemption.
