Majesty on High. are all essentials To
mans recovery-esseDtial to tho over
throw of this reign OF sin and death over
our race.
We see still further developments and
preparations The Scriptures inform us
that IL is the Divine purpose TO have
mult!tudinous Messiah, of which the
glorious Jesus is the head and the chuSch
the body.
We perceive that God for nearly nine
teen centuries has been calling and draw
ing a special class Of mankind 10 con-
stitute His elect. the bride class, TO be
Joint heirs with His Son In the Kingdom
Of Glory which will finally ranquish sin
and Satan and deliver the willing and
obedient OF mankind into the full liberty
OF the children of God-freedom from sin
and death and into the enjoyment OF
life everlasting and Divine favor.
The Dark and Marrow Path.
This special class is required to walk
by faith and not by signt-to walk in the
marrow way Of selfdenial and opposl-
ton TO the world, the flesh and the ad-
versary In the footsteps OF Jesus. lsno-
rance, scfishness. sin. death. all go TO
world and TO constitute the way a mar
row one in which this elect class is re-
ouircd to walk. In order TO demonstrate
their fun loyalty and obedience to the
Will OF God--even unto death. Evidently.
no such narrow way could have existed
had God not permitted cyil-stn. EVi-
IDENTIFY, therefore. this elect class could
not be developed and tested except by
the divine permission OF sin, The very
essence Of their character er-developInent is
associated with the divine promise that
all things shall work together for good
TO those who love God. 10 the called ones
according To his purpose.
1t seemed wise to our Heavenly Father
that our Lord Jesus should learn obedi-
ence through sufferings and be tested
In respect TO his Willingness 10 endure
suffering for righteousness sake. How
appropriate IT is that the same Father
should make similar arrangements for all
of the church, whom he Will receive from
among the race OF Adam to be members
of the royal priesthood under Jesus the
High Priest OF our order
We see a necessity for this. not only
as respects our own testings and thor
the Lord. but additionally we see a wis
dom on Gods part In thus preparing
priesthood of the future, A priest. as
recognized among the Jews, was not
merely one who offered sacrifices. all
though every priest was of necessity a
sacrihcer. The special mission OF the
priestly tribe among the other tribes was
that OF instructing. healing teaching
And so God is preparing a royal priest
hood for the Messianic age TO bless to
heal. TO teach. TO uplift all the willing
and obedient
The royalty OF the priesthood signifies
that II will no longer be a sacrificing
class: for all sacrificing will be at an end,
II VIII be glorious class. royal. Of the
divine nature. and representatives with
our Lord Jesus Of the divine power. AS
priests who will have to do with Judging
and Christening. healing and helping hu-
mainly. how much sympathy do we sun
pose that these royal priests should
have? Are they not TO be on the divine
plane of rlory, members OF the body"
Of Messiah?
Sins Lesson to Humanity.

through the permission of sin. Pres

Messiah's gracious reign, The manifesto

yery purpose of uplifting these poor
