At this season of the year We have
many things to be- thankful for, but
on this Thank sgiving | feel especially
blessed of the Lord in being permit
ted to visit the old home of my boy
hood days and to be permitted to
visit many of my relatives and
friends. many of whom have, during
my absence of twenty-five years. had
grown up to be young men and wo
men. My heart was made glad, and
was truly It thankful to our God and
the blessed Lord for tn privilege
of preaching the gospel message on
THANKSGIVING Evening. also on SUM
day morning. at the old school house
" hen | used to attend school when a
boy The subject on THANKSGIVING
evening was Moses as type of Christ
God, by the hand of Moses and Aaron
delivered the childrnc of Israel out
of the hand of Pharao and from the
bondage of Egypt Pharao is the
type of satan and Egypt the type of
this old world of sin. The scriptures
tell us that this great multitude of
people were in bondage under Pharao
in this old darkcncd land for the
period of 1870 years. Now, Pharao
like satan. would not listen to Moses
and Aaron, he did not like to lose this
people, for they were bringing much
gain to his kingdom by their labors.
so we see by the word of God that
the Lord began to magnify miracle
working power through Moses and
Aaron so as to perfect thcir delivery
and so upon tn clast manifestation of
his power was the night the Death
Angel passed over Egypt; On this
memorable night we see Israel obey
ing God and drawing out of their
flocks a lamb without spot or blemish
and after killing the lamb, the blood
of the slain lamb was applied to the
lintels and side posts of the door of
the house in which they lived thus
showing how secure those dear peo-
pie were on this memorable night
when the Death Angel passed over
Egypt staying all of the first born
from Pharao's house down to the low
est servant And we see what
beautiful type this is of our being
delivered from sin through the ala
atoning work that Jesus Christ did
on the cross of Calvary. We hear
the words of the Apostle Paul to the
Corinthians | Cor 10, l, 2, 3. 4,
would not that you should be iSnor
ant bretern and see how that our
fathers were under the cloud and
all passed through the sea, and were
all baptized unto Moses in the cloud
and in the sea, and did all eat the
same spiritual meat and did all drink
the same spiritual drink, for they
drank of that spiritual rock that fol-
lowed them, and that rock was Christ
Now this people went direct from the
blood to the waters of the Red Sea,
or to make it palmer, from the blood
to the water; we see here a mark OF
obedience on the patr of Israel, obey
ing the word of the Lord through
Moses and Aaron, consequently we
see their perfect deliverance. Now
this is all typical of our being deliv-
cred from sin and the bondages oil
this old world through the wonderful
work that Jesus accomplished on the
cross for us. First being convicted
of our sins by tn holy spirit, then
upon our repentance and OBEDIENCE
to him we become identified with
Christ in the body of his death, buri1
al and resurrection. Here his blood
is applied to the lintcls Of our hearts
and then we go from the blood of the
