part of the Divine Body. It is evident
that this body is visible. "No ran

but the new, is one of glory: There is
a degree of glory associated with III

when 4orapared with that of the gospel.
The gospel system is complete --Christ
finished the work,' but, the e'Priests
had to atone for themselves before they
could do io for the people. The sacri-
fices under the tow hadtorepeeted
as they had no efficacy any farther than
they pointed to the socrificp of Christ.

this very means were His everlasting
purpbses serfed. His glory is mani-
fested. in the infinite love that bought
salvation.. The glory . of God should
be manifested 'through the followerof
Christ, as was in Paul, who was led to
exclaim, "I am not ashemed of Christ."
ON MONDAY EVENING,
One of these Tea Meetings, which is at-
tended witn all the supernumeraries,
which make such institutions "exctel-
lent," came -off in the church. The
building was crowded to its .utmost ca-
pacity, with an audience who went
away satisfied that their evening had
been well spent, having gratified their
physical. feelings by feasting, and their
social and mental, by listening to sweet
music trom the choir, and instructi
and interesting addresses frem the
speakers„ Revs; McDonald, Graham

and Mr. John GI -ay. 11

quistians of modeim times,, may- well
joiN issue, with the author of the text,
for, the saine reason. The word itself
invites being tested. First, it has been
tried by Miracles. A mira,cle.is a trans-
action in which God works independ-
ent of natural laws. In miracles we
.behold, Powei, Wisdom; and Mercy.
The requisites for making a thing credi-
ble, are, a number of witnesses -then
ability of judging.and their reliability.
In the miracles of the scriptui-es we
have all those. Another test of the
Word is Prophecy. Prophecy deals
with places and persons. Jerusalem
was predicted to fall. - Tyre, though a
populous commeecial city,was to become
a barren. rock. Babylon Was to come
to utter ruin --all of which has taken
place, as borne out by -sacred and pro-
fane history. Abraham's posterity, it
was prophepied should cover the earth:::

prophets, coincides precisely with his
history as recorded in ..he gospel. The
word has also been subjected to h,ostile
