lie took for his text Hebrew 4:3:
For we, which have believed, do en-
ser into rest
This is n positive declaration, but
limitcd in its application. Only the
faithful have entered and do enter
into rest. Faith is made the condition
upon which we are permitted to enter
into rest. We who believe i'm Christ
sLre in possession of the great spiritual
blessings promised by God to the l,ra-
elites. We rest from something and IN
something. From what and in what
believers rest l shall endeavor to show.

spirit." The Christian believes this,
hence no fears. He, however, not only
rests from fear of condemnation, but
also from spiritual doubts and ears.
3Tim. IL: 'For God hath not given

love OF A sound mind" Also Romans
