The Lord did not re- prove them for this undersigned med ding with His arrangement, but sim ply ignored their choice, and Tn HIS own time brought forward the Apostle Paul, declaring, He is a chosen Nes- sel unto Me" There can be no ques- ton but that the Lord arranged that there should be but twelve Apostles, and in evidence of this, note how the Lord particularly chose those twelve, calling to mind the prominence of the number twelve in sacred tbtngs per taining to this election: and we cap the climax by pointing to the symbol fcaI picture of the glorified church furnished in Revelation xxi in the picture the statement is most disyinct- " made that the twelve foundations of the city are precious, and in hhem were written the names of the "tw1elVe Apostles of the Lamb'-no more, no less.
