l have loosen for my text a sea
topic, a symbolical prophecy which, ]
believe. Is rapidly nearing fulfllment.
All Bible students recognize the fact
that many of the Psalms are Mes.
sianic; that is to say. they apply to
the time of the Inauguration of Mes
siah's Millennlal Kingdom Some of
them detail the peace and joy and
blessings which will then prevail
amongst men. when the great leveling
processes of that time will raise all
the worthy poor and degraded and
will humble all the proud, establishing
Society under such new conditions that
the new order of things is symbolical
ly styled in the Scriptures "a new
heavens and new earth. wherein
dwelleth righteousness I'll Peter iii.
49,. Others of the Psalms describe l.
highly hgurative terms the work Of
the Millennial Age For instance, we
read:
''Gird thy sword upon thy thigh,
most Mighty, with thy glory and thy
majesty. And in thy majesty ride pros
perously because of truth and meek
ness and righteousness; and thy RICH;
hand shall teach thee terrible things
Thine arrows are sharp in the heart
of the Kings enemies: whereby the
people fall under thee" psalm xl
80. Here the great Redeemer is pic
tured as the glorious conquering King
of the Millennial Age and his victory
over every opposing influence Is EN-.
hasized-"1nto him every knee shall
bow and every tongue confess isaiah
xiv, 23). His right hand that will
teach terrible things is the symbol of
the Divine power which will be exer-
cised at the inauguration of the King
dom. The sharp arrows which will
pierce the enemies to the heart and
cause them symbolically to fall before
him slain represent his messages Ct
Truth and Grace which then will con
quer as they do not now, except in the
hearts of the few. A sample of thos.
now slain after this manner by the
Word Of Truth is furnished us in the
account of st Peters sermon on the
Day of Pentecost He preached the
Truth plainly, thrusting in the Sword
Of the Spirit" up to the hilt. He told
his hearers how they and their rulers

Similarly during the Millennium, the
arrows Of Truth will smite down all
opposition; and mankind. cut to the
heart with proper appreciation of their
own sinfulness and Gods mercy, will
fall before the great King, accepting
mercy upon his gracious terms-full

The Day of Trouble Pictured.
The Psalm of which our text is a
part is one of the Messianic Psalms
Prophetically and symbolically it tells
about the trouble incident to the passing
away of the present order of sin and
selishness and the Inauguration Of the
new order of righteousness and love
under the great Mediatorial Kingdom
of Christ Whether the events which
the Script as predict shall come in
our day or not, we hold that they will
come and be in full compartment witt

surely written for our instruction Oh

dents we do well to take heed to ev-

thus we may keep ourselves in touch
with the Infinite One and in sympathy
with all the features of his great and
wonderful Program. Let us note the
particulars of the Psalm in detail
