-wondrous thought!
The vision assures us OF Chrlsts
sympathy. He is touched with feel
Ing of our inf1rmities, having been IN
all points tempted az We ate. apart
from sin.
Though now aseended up en high
He bends on earth 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
they were soon set at ease. Christ is
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
"It is finished" Mr.. J. Hudson 'Tay-
lor, when boy, picked up 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. VIII 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 8: who is he that
condemneth? 1t 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
conouerors through him that loved US.
For am persuaded, that neither
death, nor life, nor angels, nor princl-
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, Will
liam Carey.
"But this man, after he had offered
one sacrifice for sins forever, sat
down on the right hand of God; from
henceforth expecting till his enemies
be made his footstool" (Hcbrews
1922, 13). 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 chan
mel of blessing to all nations. Wars
and oppression will cease land the
streets. of the city shall be full Of
boys and girls playing in the streets
thereof" "The wolf also shall dwell
with line lamb, and the leopard shall
lie dewn wish the kid; and the calf
and tie young lion and the failing to-
gether;; and a 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 Ike 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 my
holy mountain: for the earth shall be
full Of tic knowledge of the Lord, as
the waters cover the seas" isaiah
1869. A blind girl said she loved
the Book CT Revelation the best, and
especially the last three chapters,
since the twentieth shows Satan
bound, the twenty-irst shows the
Lamb married and the twenty-second
shows Christ reigning.
And hear this wondrous word: "ro
him that ovcrcometh will l grant to
sit with me in my throne, even as l
also overcome. and am set down with
my father In his throne" (Rev. 8:31).
