bodies are now in humlnattoh anu
grow weary and Ill; but they shall be
made like unto the body of lis glory
-wondrous thought!
The vision assures us of Christ's
sympathy. He is touched with a feel
ing of our inf1rmities, having been in
from sin.
Though now assembled up On high
He bends or earth a brothers eye;
Partaker Of the human name
He knows the frailty of our frame.
Our entrance to heaven is secured.
Joseph's rude brothers were out OF
place in the palace of Pharaoh, but
because Joseph was on the throne
not ashamed to call US brethren and
we shall be "at home" with the Lord.
Our Resting Savior.
Christ sat" on the right hand of
God, for the work of atonement was
done. Other men die feeling their
work is incomplete, but he could cry
1T is finished" Mr.. j. Hudson Tay-
lor, when a boy, picked up a tract in
which he noted the words, 'the fin
ished work of Christ" He saw that
he had nothing to do but accept the
gift Of salvation and praise God; and
In moment he was saved. Will you
not do likewise?
Bishop Moule and party of friends
stood one night in the Coliseum and
thought of the countless martyrs who
there had died for Christ. By the
light Of the moon he read the closing
words of Romans 6: Who is he that
condemneth? It is Christ that died,
yea rather, that is risen again, who
is even at the right hand Of God. who
also maketh intercession for US. Who
shall separate us from the love of
Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress.
or persecution, or famine, or naked
ness, or peril, or sword? Nay, in
all these things we are more than
conquerors through him that loved us
For I am persuaded. that neither
death, nor life, nor angels, nor princi-
palities, nor powers, nor things
present, nor things to come, nor
height, nor depth. nor any other crea-
ture, shall be able to separate US from
the love OF God, which is In Christ
Jesus our Lord"
Our Mighty Helper.
The verse following the text reads,
And they went forth, and preached
everywhere, the Lord working with
them, and confirming the word with
signs following" Christ does not sit
idly on his throne; but, as Stephen
saw him Standing" on the right hand
| of God. he rises to help his people.
The Gospels tell us what Jesus began
to do and teach" and he is still doing
and teaching. If tempted to doubt
whether the Lord is among us. let us
recall how he shook Christendom by
miners son, Martin Luther: and
| launched the modern missionary
movement through a shoemaker, VIII
liam Carey.
But this man, after he had offered
down on the right hand of God; from
henceforth expecting till his enemies
be made his footstoor (Hebrews
1912, 49,. He shall come to reign at
last In that day, the church will
share his glories as his own bride.
Israel will be restored and be q chan
mel of blessing to all nations. Wars
and oppression will cease "and the
streets of the city shall be full OF
boys and girls playing in the streets
thereof THE wolf also shall dwell
with the lamb, and the leopard shall
! lie down with the kid; and the calf
and the young lion and the failing to
gether; and little child shall lead
them. And the cow and the bear
shall feed; their young ones shall lie
down together; and the lion shall eat
straw like the OK. And the sucking
child shall play on the hole of the asp,
and the weaned child shall put his
hand on the cockatrice' den They
shall not hurt nor destroy in all nv
holy mountain: for the earth shall be
full of the knowledge of the Lord, as
| the waters cover the seas" isaiah
1859. A blind girl said she loved
the Book of Revelation the best. and
| especially the last three chapters,
since the twentieth shows Satan
bound. the twenty-first shows the
Lamb married and the twenty-second
shows Christ reigning.
j And hear this wondrous word: TO
him that overcometh will grant to
sit with me in my throne. even aslI
also overcome, and am set down with
my father in his throne" Grew. 3:21).
