Scriptures on all subjects. we must handle the Word of God honestly. We must recognize that our Lord Jesus is one person and the Father another person. The oneness between the Father and the Son is that declared by eur Master Himself, say ing that He and the Father are one In. the same sense that He desires all of His disciples to be One-in mind, in purpose, fin will. in effort John xvii, 2l. 23.) Our Lord Jesus is Gods un- ] speakable Gift.
 The Scriptures declare that the Re deemer took the nature of men in or l Ger redeem sinners: but that in Him fisere was no sin Only a sinless one | could give to God Ransom for Adam, | and thus redeem from destruction, not only Adam, but all his pOsterity. in. | rolyed ln sin and death through him. The speaker then showed that God set before our Lord great joy, the l influence of which led Jesus to endure 1 eheerfully the bitter experiences of Ills ! earthly life. This joy is intimated to have been: n) His pleasure in doing | 'bsinging many sons 10 g!ory''-the | Church: (3) His pleasure and joy in be- | ing by and by the worlds Restorer, de | iivering them from the power of Satan, | sin and death.

Meditating am \ bilious designs. satan found an oppor- \ tunity in Eden.

 | Our Lord Jesus pursued an opposite course. and demonstrated His loyalty | and obedience. St Paul intimates that although the Logos was much higher than was Lucifer. yet He was humble, II f#
 the Greek text declares. Phil. Ii,
 69 He thought not by robbery to be 1 equal with God on the contrary, our
 Lord willingly accepted the Divine pro posaI that He should be humbled to the human plane for time, in order to carry out the Fathers Plan.
 To the Church, Jesus is Gods un- tspeakable Gift He is indeed a Gift L to the fwhole world, unspeakable in Value, hut He is more to the Churct than to the world. To His foOtstep | followers, He is the Captain of their l Safvation,9 their Bridegroom. their 1 Elder Brother" their great High
 Priest Through Him they are priv i.eged to be the Royal Priesthood. EThrough the merit of the sacrifice Of
 Christ, they are privileged to present 4 sheir bodies living sacrifices, holy, ac-
 eeptahle unto GOd.'
 l The Pastor then said that Justice Is 1 the foundation of Gods Throne. In
 thefpast, endeavors to harmOnize Jus ftice with our great Creators dealings with humanity have izyolved us In tdiffieuItyf We were assured by the prominent creeds that God had know IdngIy brought mankind into existence Iunder such conditions that the great
 1naj ajority would spend eternity iu to-- Iture We. perceived no Justice in any such arrangement. But while desist.
 ing from critieising the Creator. we !.se1ld not -indorse such a course, nor
 see it to be in harmony with the Di- wine regulations governing ourselves. iIf we are to. love oar enemies, should
 more be expected of fallen human be-
 ings than of our perfect Creator?
 The Scriptures declare only the con-
 .secrated Church see the lengths,
 breadths, heights and depths of The Hove of God" which passeth under
 standing. This class alone is in any
 sense prepared to give thanks to God now for His unspeakable Gift. Their
 thanks go up, not only in words, but
 also in actions. which speak louder
 than words" These thanks ascend ss
 sweet incense to God.
 By and by. 'All the blind eyes will
 be opened and all the deaf ears will be lunstopped." Then the whole world of
 inaakind, including those awakened
 from the sleep of death during Mes
 siah,s reign. will be in condition to rec
 ognize Gods unspeakable Gift and ren-
 der thanks. When wilful evil doers
 shall have been destroyed, then every
 creature In Heaven, on earth and In
 the sea shall be heard saying. Praise,
 glory, honor. dominion and might be lunto Him that sitteth on the Throne.
