Of what are the eities .of refuge typi- cal? IIRACTIOAL SURVEY. Topic. -Our responsibliity toelard of- fendere- I. The cities of refuge. .II. Their typical significance. • 1. The cities of 'refuge, TV provie- ion of the cities of refuge was in- cluded in the instructions of Sinai and was a well-recognized part of the civic constitution. Tne custom of blood revenge wa.s of very ancient origin and of wide recoenition among Oriental nations other than the Hebrews. Its. existence seems to be recogn(zed ir. the Noahic . covenant (Gen. 9;5, 6). Under the patrZarchal order the head of the household was ruler, priest and judge. The race was not yet grouped into nations and there Was no selec- ed judge .or established places of Judg- ment, If any punishinent for the taking of human life was to be meter out, it must come through the family itself. The "Iaw of blood," as origin- ally established, was not designed to satiate a spirit of vengeance,.but stood as a solemn vindication of the sacred- ness of hunian life. In the provision of the cities se refuge there was no condoning of criminality. A wilful murderer was of no account to be suf- fered to escape ,but was aftorded a respite until inquiry could be made and judgment, rendered. Even Cod's altar afforded no refuge for elle wilful crimival nor could any ransom be ac- cepted. Only he who "unawares mul unwittinglerY had slain his fellow. could avail almeelf of the provision, and if &Counted of wilful crime, his deten- tion:in the city whither he!: had flea Provided measurable punishment for carelessness or passion. The appoint - meet of cities assigned to • the priest- hood was not Without significance; and they Were as widely . distributed and as conveniently located as pos- sible. Three of them; Bezer, Mullah and Golan, on the east of Jordan, Moses had already appointed. The re- • =hider, Kedesh, Shechem and Heb- ron, were- chosen after the settlement and division of the land. The high - Ways leading to these cities were to be prepared with special care (Deut. 19;3T, and the direction is said to have been indicated by guide -posts. II. Their typical significance. That the cities of refuge were symbolic of the provisions of grace is plain. "All have sinned," and "by the deeds of the law there shall -no flesh be justified in his sight." They are available for all, but ,require personal effort andeo- operation. "Who. have fled tei eatim tor refuge." Dellyerance is based op: ly .upon the death of the "High priest of our profession, Christ Jesus." Se- curity comes only byeabiding in Him. Azart from Him the transgressor is constantly exposed to ;he vengeanee of violated Justice. The way is made. so plain that "the wayfaring man, though a fool, shall • not err therern." OffenceS will conic; but woe unto him, through whom they come!" Ipwever every effort is to be made to restore the offender. Charitableness in judgment and consideration in dealing are grounded in personal' liabilities and shortcomings. "Considering thee self. lest tkim also be tempted.'" In - many thing ll we offend all." The meth- od of procedure is clearly stated by su- preme authority. "Tell him his fault between thee and him alone -before telling any other man. Forgiveness: Is to be granted unto "seventy times %yen," The law which said, "An eye for an eye," hasabeen superseded by the gospel which says, "Love your 0110- mos."W.
