So, IL one should seek to put away
the filth Of the fiesh-to live as moral
a life as possible, to become cleaner
and cleaner In his daily conduct-un-
less he present himself in conservation
to God, his morality is of no avail In
the matter of bringing him into cove
nant-relationship with God. Only BIZ
faith in the blood OF Christ can he aD-
proach the Mercy Seat. There is none
other name given under heaven
amongst men whereby we must be
saved" y
Any one who gets a glimpse into the
future-when the MiIlennial Reign OF
Christ and His Church shall have be-
%,1n-and who hears Of the goodness OF
God, but is not melted by his own im-
perfectisAs and his need Of a Savior,
will, the Pastor believes, be much dis
a~dvantaged. Whoever hears the voice
of God speaking peace through the
Lord Jesus Christ should press on to
know the Lord. If even a little glimpse
Of the coming Restitution, when the
"AOiV WILL DSSOu1S Inc me var
den Of Eden and when all men will
have the privilege Of coming to perfec-
ton, does not appeal to one, that one
is not in a very favorable condition OF
mind. Whoever does not love the God
who has made so loving a provision for
mankind is not in a favorable condi-
ton for further knowledge.
The Pastor clearly pointed out that
those who have never heard Of the
goodness of God have very little re-
sponsibtlity in proportion to those who
do hear. The heather millions who
have not heard Of God could not pre-
sent their bodies In sacrifice. Our Lord
declared that those who knew not
would be beaten with few stripes in
comparison with those who did know.
Whoever therefore has heard, and who
knows the will of God and the differ
ence between right and wrong has O.
responsibility, and will receive stripes
for dlsobedience, even If he does not
now come into a full test or trial for
life eternal.
no Cup or Salvation"
The proper attitude Of heart, the Pas
tor declared, is that Of appreciation OF
Gods mercies. AS the Psalmist has
said, What shall | render unto he
Lord for all His benefits toward me!
l will take the cup Of salvation and
call upon the name of the Lord" Who
ever hears of Gods loving provision
for the salvation Of mankind should
feel like removing from his heart ev-
erything that would hinder the love
Of God from flowing in freely and
bringing forth the fruitage of love, de-
voton and appreciation. To those who
especially love God and desire to know
His will He has offered a cup, which
represents His providences for that
special class. Jesus Himself drank
that cup, and set us an example.
The Pastor then discussed the sub
ject OF conservation, and showed how
reasonable it is for one who has come
to a knowledge Of the goodness Of
God to offer himself to the Lord. He
declared that whoever carefully con-

all one has to offer is far too small.
But God says to such, | know that you
have practically nothing to give: but
you must give all that you have-be
it much or little. In comparison with
what Jesus gave. you have nothing;
for what you have is imperfect and
sinful, whereas His Offering was holy
and undefled. But He will impute His
merit to your offering, and thus make
it acceptable.
In the typical Tabernacle and it's
sacrifices, the Pastor declared, this
matter Of conservation is represented
by the Offering of the two goats on the
Day Of Atonement. The goat repre-
sents the flesh Of the one offering him
self in conservation. Conservation is
the tying Of the goat at the door OF
the a%ntitypical Tabernacle. Then the
High Priest kills the a%nttypical Lords

ment when the sacrifice was accepted,
is represented in the Body of the High
Priest.
Then, as members of the Body Of
the a%ntitypical High Priest. the con.
secrated and spirit begotten ones are
privileged to enter the %antitypical Tab

Candlestick. which gives them light re-
speeding the deep things Of the Word
Of God. The things in the typical
Tabernacle were hidden from the sun;
they were dark as respects outside
light, but they had the interior light.
Those in the a~ntitypical Tabernacle
condition have also blessed association
with the Incense Altar; not that they

Responsibility to Christ.
The Pastor then dwelt on the respon-
sibility resting upon all who have offer
ed themselves as living sacrifices and
have been accepted and begotten OF
the Holy Spirit. These have come un-
der the Headship Of Christ. His will
is to be their will, His Spirit is to be
their spirit. When they were baptized
