years. He lived in little cottage that
was much overheated and from which
all ventilation was carefully excluded.

The Faith Before Christ Came.
The first proclamation OF Gods pur-

to Abraham. After Abraham had

He would greatly bless him and his

eventually come children who would
accomplish the great work Of blessing
mankind. and who would rescue all
from the power OF sin and death. in

course OF their lives. Although they
understood practically nothing Of how
God would accomplish 50 great a bless

c~ovenanted with them that If they
would keep His Law blamelessly, He
would fulfil in them the Promise made
TO Abraham. He knew that imperfect
men could not keep His perfect Law;
but He let them try. thereby learning
the lesson. Through that lesson He
would give instruction to the angels
respecting His righteousness. and also
to Spiritual Israel. whom later He
would develop and through whom the
blessing actually would come.
