God gave to Noses to write, with all
Of its commands and ordinanees, came
another decided change in the admins
tration of God for man. Noses wrote
the Law, and Christ by the law as y

There have been changes in God 3 ad-
ministration to man, to meet the par
ticular circumstances in which God
purposed to save man, and conquer all
sin, but the changes have only been in
the ordinances to be performed by
man, and the peculiar gifts of God.
but never in the one preat principle of
faith, for in every age, and in each of
the four applications of Christ TO
earth as the Conquerer of all sin,
faith has been the one quality which
God has required of every man for his
salvation. And the one faith is the
faith and power of Jsaas Christ the
Conquerer of all sin and the faith i,
the gift of God to man for belief IN
His name. Now faith is . peculiar be
lief, but belief common to man is not
faith for "devils believed and trem-
bled.' The one great central thought
in both Testaments, and in each ad-
ministration of God to man, is to move
men to accept the faith of Jesus which

fills every other requirement. Again
at the end of the law came the gospel
age, another decided change in Gods
administration to man. And Christ
the Conquerer in the gospel age WAS"
the death angel on a pale horse, and
His name''was Death" in the very
beginning. Death to Al sin; nos
death to the people of God). Christ
the Conquerer who is the sole author Of
death. having ''ths keys ef Asll and

chapter of "The Revelation;n mean-
ing Christ the minister of death, as a
means of justice to conquer all sin.
"Hell followed with HIM. to be
meted out as reward for unrighteous-
ness. And the four beasts claiming re
demption by the blood of the Lamb
'out Of every kindred, and tongue,
and people, and nation,'' signify all of
Gods redeemed people through the
four administrations of Christ as the
Conquerer and slain sacrifice, from the
foundation of the world.
Many men have not seen Christ on
the pale horse as the death angel to
sin,and have sown much confusion in
their efforts to read the symbol as re-
corded. But the symbol is in perfec.
harmony, as 1 have read it to you,
with all the other scripture bearing on
the subject. Jesus said of Himself,
"Think not that I am come to send
peace on earth: tpeace in the flesh,
l came not to send peace. but sword

the prophecy of God as signified by
the sun and moon, and the stars set in
the armament Of the heaven on the
fourth day of his creation, to give
light ON the earth, and to rule the day
and the night. (The word "ruls,"
expresses the thought of gsvsrnmsut,
