Again 1t is declared that I'VE are saved
by hope and salvation is the greatest re-
ward that can be bestowed, for 1t includes
all the blessings of heaven and immor-
tality. An unspeakable reward to become
heirs Of God and joint heirs with Christ
Ito an inheritance, incorruptible. and un-
defiled, and that fadeth not away. re-
served in heaven for you." In that fade
less inheritance hope inspires the belief
that we shall meet again the loved that
have gone before.
"Hope still lifts her radiant finger.
Pointing to the eternal home,
Upon whose portal yet they linger,
Looking back for us to come.

To keep our hearts from wrong and stain,
Who would not try 10 win heaven
Where all We love shall live sgsfn.'s

Of the church that He established among

1t is appropriate. therefore, that on the

Faith and Hope.

Faith and hope are of one family. of
one parentage. Though distinct. they ere
vitally united. derived from the same
source. established by the same evidence,
and are concerned with the same eternal
realities. Faith is the faculty of perce.,-
tion. hope is the faculty of anticipation.
One comes by hearing. the other by ex-
perience. One relates to the truth OF
Gods word. the other to its fuifillment.
The one contends for doctrine the o,heI
for reward The one is based on what is
promised in the Bible, the other on what
j. promised in heaven.

Shared Superstitious Sinner.

Herod AntipaS, whose craftineSS called
forth from Jesus the significant title OF
fox. was not wise enough to keep away
from the meshes Of sin. The sins Of a
father are repeated by the son. Herod
Antipas of our lesson was the SON Of
Herod the Great. who established a
dynasty that was marked by iniquity.
For political reasons he rebuilt for the
Jews the temple at Jerusalm. He made
it surpass Solomon's temple in magnifi-
cent grandeur. 1t WAS one Of the noblest
buildings Of antiquity Herod planned to
divide his kingdom into four parts: each
division, called in Scripture a tetrachy.
was to be ruled over by one OF his four
sons not one of whom inherited tbs
fathers strategic power and strength as
a ruler.
One Of his sons, Philip. having been
disinherited, lost his tetrachy, lived in
Rome as private citizen in comparative
poverty and obscurity. Like most royal
families there was considerable intermar-
riage among the descendants of Herod
the Great. Philip had married Herodias.
his niece. Herod Antipas, the one who
is most frequently mentioned in Scrip
ture formed an unholy relationship with
his niece, Herodias, the ambitious wiIe
ing his brother at Rome. Herod, like
most sinners, did not count the cost of
the first act He was controlled by sim
full desires and without even the for
mality of divorce sent back his legal wife
to her father returned to Jerusalem. eX-
pecting that the people would approve his
doubly adulterous marriage.
Herod's own brother. Archelaus. lost
his throne by the same sin, yet the weak
king in the hour Of temptation while
peering in to the dark eyes of Herodias
fell. He threw himself body and soul
into perdition when he allowed for a
moment the evil suggestion of his
brothers brilliant and beautiful wife to
ensnare him. Sin quickly develops its
control over men. One sin leads to an
other. The moment man listens to the
tempter he is caught in the meshes OF
sin, that pulls him onward SO rapidly
toward destruction that the poor soul
has hardly no time to repent.
Returning to his capital, Herod was
brought face to face with John the Bap-
tist, whose rugged preaching condemned
the immortality of the palace. The sting
of Johns condemnation, 1T is not lawful
for thee to have thy brothers wife. -
aroused the evil hatred of Herodias, who
determined to put the preacher of right
eousness out of the way. Political rea-
sons demanded. as Josephus tells us. that
some effort be made to crush the power
of the revivalist, whose growing power
and influence was a menace to Herod' 8
throne. He placed him in the prison at
Machearus, where evidently for a time
at least Herod listened to Johns advice.

An Anchor.

The Scriptures give us many symbols
to illustrate what hope is to the soul. In
PauFs epistle to the Hebrews C6:11-19) il
is written that God, willing more abun-
dainty TO show unto the heirs of promise
the immutability of his counsel, con-
firmed it by an oath: that by two inn
mutable things. in which it was impos-
sible for God to lie, we might have a
strong consolation. who have fled fol
refuge, to lay hold upon the hope Set
before US: which hope is an anchor of the
soul, both sure and steadfast, and which
entereth into that within the veil:
whittier the forerunner is for us entered
even Jesus. made an high priest forever
after the order of Melchsedec.
And so we learn that as an anchor
thrown to the bottom of the sea holds the
ship fast amid storms and tempests, SO
the Christians hope amid the storms and
tempests of life's ocean holds fast his
soul through all the waves of sin, till he
reaches the eternal shore.

is one Of gladness and rejoicing is be-
cause of the value and certainty of the
things hoped for. Worldly hopes are
always uncertain. There is SO much
weakness and deceit in the means en-
ployed to attain human desires that the
success Is doubtful; but the Christians s

There is joy in the Christians hope

expectation of all the good things promis-

in heaven. This hope is based on God $
As God cannot lie. He can neither de-

In this sublime belief in Gods truth and
