This is the oft - quoted passage definitely introducing the tern, "the new covenant," which g=ives us our "New Testament," Here is the only use of the term in the Old Testament, as Heb. 8:8, 13; 12: 24 are among the very few uses of the term in the. New Testament. "In those days." "The latter days, Jer. 30:24; see also Jer. 31:1, 27: "They shall say rto more, The fathers' have eaten sour grapes, and the children's • teeth are set on edge."— This was a popular proverb express- ing a fact of common observation. It is certainly true in history, and true in the life of individuals; that, as is said its the Second Command- ment (Ex. 20:5), God visits a 'man's iniquity upon the third and fourth generation of his children. :4.

"And they shall teach no more ev n' eryman his neighbor; saying, Know y Jehovah." -In that glad day of the y New Covenant there will be nomore e need to teach the knowledge of God; es' including the love of God and obed s' ience to Him, such teaching as Jere r'rniah and the other prophets were _ obliged, to 'give over and over: "For _ they 'shall all know me, from the least of thein unto the gr=eatest of i them, saith Jehovah;"—There is " a place for teaching in the religious life,. and 'Christ Himself, whets He came, was known as the Teacher; but the e work that teaching can accomplish is hovah, that I will melee 1a new«coven ant with the house of Israel (th Northern Kingdom), and with the house of Judah (the Southern Icing- Born). "In this promise jerernialr's words reach their highest signifi cance. A time is foretold tahich shall be to the nation as marked an epoch as teas the Exodus. God then at Sinai made a covenant with His peo- ple, of which the sanctioi1swere mat- erial, or (where spiritual) materially understood. Necessarily therefore the Mosiac Church was terriporary; but the sanctions of Jerentiah's church are spiritual -written in the heart- and therefore it must take the place of the 'former covenant, Heb. 8:13, and must last forever. The prophecy was fulfilled when those Jews who accepted Jesus of .Nazareth as the Messiah, expanded the, Jewish inio'tlre Christian Church," "Not according to the covenant that I Whole with their fathers in the day that I tools there by the/ hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt.". 1 ---"Our familiarity with the words hinders us, for the most part, from recognizing what, must; .have seemed their exceeding boldness. That the covenant" with Israel,: given with all conceivable sanctions as corning di- rectly from Jehovah (Fx,. 24:7, 8); should thtts be set 'aside as mntr se- mis an earthly law—tI}e man who could say this without trembling must indeed have been confident that he too was taught of God,, and that the. new teaching w as higher than the old," "Whish my covenant they brake, although 1 was a husband unto them, saith Jehovah."-- Another tender fi- gure, giving additional reason why Is- rael should be condemned for breaic ing the covenant: God was to the nation a protector, a provider, a lov- et, as a faithful husband would be to a wife; and yet the nation was un- true to its,vows as a wife that is tin - true to: her husband, "But 'this is the covenant that I Will make with the house of Israel after those trays, saith Jehovah,"— "After those days" refers to the corn- ing time to which the entire prophecy relates; see vs. 1, 27, 29,21, 38. "I Will put my law in their inward parts, and in their hearts will I write it.",--- A law in the heart has back of it, to enforce it, one's affections, einot`rons, convictions, and will. A law that is merely external, imposed on one from without, by authority divine or Mini - an, or only by custom eir habit, is not a part of one's 'self, and obedience to it is cold, mechanical, and partial.

"For .I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I remember a10 more."—It is With God as it is, with men when they say that they n'ill "forgive and, forget." In such a case, though forgiving man may re- ir_ernber the fault, he will not "hold it against" the vi rongdoer; the rela- tions of the two will be Just as they Were - before the wrong was committ- ed.

Happily that: force of hypocrisy is now about extinct. Years of the most 'careful effort by the ,Manages of these shows to eliminate everything and anything its the slightest ,degree immoral or im- possible in the, character' of their ex- hibitors, or in the demeanor,' of their employees of what ever rank; have at last convinced the public generally of the absolute cleanliness of the Cir- cus as a place of entertainment, and with such comprehensive shows as the Barnett 'Eros.' are offering to the public, it is a source of practical and profitable instruction. • There is no longer any excuse or apo ogy for going to the Circus. -The. presence of clergymen at every .per- formance, with seldom an exception, attests to the general and sensible change of consideration for the Cir- cus by the church people. ,s But all this sloes not release any one from a moralobligation to take their children to see the animals and the accompanying circus performance -it is onlya matter of extreme de- light to the children .to see the "Show" but it is a duty as well as a pleasure an the part of the parents, relatives and friends to enable them to see it.
