The Watem from the (Veen Were no tonger permitted to flow upon tile laud And the ranee ceased. In addition the wind was sent over the ara.ters to dry them up, that the earth znIght agaln beeome habitable. The %sue - cession of at introdeeed into the nar- rative is remarkable, Taking the year as the six hundredth of NoeIds life, we have the commencement of the flood the seventeenth day of the second month Gen, 7, 11); the ark floats on the tweuteeseventie day of the third month (7.17); it rests on Ararat on the seven- teenth day of the fieventh month (8, 4); on the first day of the tenth month the mountain tops are seea (8. 5); on the eleventh day of the eleveotle II:loath the raven is sent out (84); the dove is sent out to return again on the eighteenth day of the else yeah mouth (8.8); on the twenty -frith day of the eleventh month the dove is sent out and returns with an olive leaf (8.10); on the second day of the twelfth mon.tit the dove is sent out to return no mote (8, 12); on the first day of first month a the next year the waters were dried off from the land (8. 13); Rini ou the twenty-seventh day of the second month the ground eves dry and Noah and his 'family with all the animals that Were in the ark went forth (8. 14). It is probable that the months hero men- tioned Were lunar months, and if fio, the time spent in the ark wits three hun- dred and sixty-five days, or a solar year, 11. A sacrifice to the Lord (vs. 20-22). M God remembered Noah (8.1) and brought him and all in the ark safely through the flood so Noah remembered the'Lord, and at oace eet about pretent- lug an offering to him. We leave here the first ment4on of the building of an al- ter to the Lord, yet it is generally sup- posed VIA Abel built one when he pre- seuted the offering which God accept- ed, There had been previeion made be- fore the flo•od for the • sacrifice that Neeth presented to the Lord npon his F.foing forth from the ark, when he was ibireeted to take into the ark clean beasts by serene; for it efeay be reason- ably supposed that. the extra number of dean beasts were intended for satrifices. Since it le not clear that 'animals were used for food before the 'flood, we are not warranted In supposing that provision was made for the slaughter of any of them for the wee of Noah end Ids family in the ark. The promise which God made to the one surviving family neyae-full of comfort. There would there - alter be no internaiesion of "seedtime and harvest" and of the naturally re- ourri seasons; nor would there , be another destruction of animal life from the face of the earth. 'Noah nod his family had believed God before the flood and daring those zonate of test - leg, and now they were experiencing the Joy of offering to God an aecepta.ble sacrifice. In this aet Noah gave full re- cognition to the feet that deliverance of himself and family from death war 4•Aie work of God. He believed he could obtain the divine favor by offeriug lea/orifice to God. 1:116 saerifice was also ao expression of his thankfulness or salvatton from the flood. - At The eatrednees of human life (91 14). lloah, as the second founder of the me receives a renewal of the bleesing end 'the promise given to Adana (Gen. 1: 28, 29), but modified by the altee:ed ikons which had been introduced by ein. trail trran never fallen, the beast'sof the field would willingly and naturally have owed him &minion; hat the fallen king must straggle for his sceptre, and can govern only by fear and dread.-Whedon, foed is b.ere expreaely gralted foe the first time, and it ie doubtful eilether before this time it had been used. "When God promised that there should never twin be a deetruetion of the race, there was great danger that any man might interpret it that no mat- ter what violence he did to other, he evold live on unpunished, and thus the world creiad easily perish by a flood of violerree, even if it eee.a.ped a flood of wiiters. Imetead of the destruetion of tbe nue the individual murderer was eondeenni;d to death, righteously, for our pity eaouid be more for the inultitucle of the innocent, who otherwiee would suffer, these for the juetly panished mur- derer.

Topic -Merey sueceeding judgment, I. God remembered Noah. 11. God blessed Noah. HT. God. covenanted with Noe h. I. God remembered Noah. As far as man was concerned the ark' was left alone upon the waters, yet theta was an arm unseen directing it. There was strength's unseen suppoAing it, and love unseen that was wafting it to its siesta nation. Noah and his family might well rest in peace sinee God had them in remembranre They conetituted the whole body of believing people. Not un- til the welcome word was given, "Go forth," did Noah presume to leave the alio Then with what feelings of grati- tude and adornation to God would Noah and .his family view their Own preserva- tion on Ma occasion! With what sol- emnity must Noah have viewed his new relations upon earth, knowing that the earth was to be repopulated by his own posterity! Having known the utter cer- ruption of hie generation preceding the flood., here deeply be must have felt the importance of beginning that new epoch in life aright, As the ark was deserted, an altar was erected. The wooship of God was of first importance. Ile was a family altar, where each member was a Worshipper, and the priest Galilee house- hold. Notah's sacrifice might Ife tompar- ed to a morning ,prayer at the clawn of a hew epoch in Inman, history. It was a dedication of restored humanity to the service of God, their deliverer. His wor- ship was acceptable to. God, as a "sweet- smelling savour." The deluge was God's sermon against ein, showing his deter- mination to neetroy sooner or later the impenitent, yet he was determined not to. send another flood though the evil imaginations of man' s heart 'remained unsubdued. This one severe Judgment would have its. effect throughout the succeeding season of suffering. Punish- ment, though necessary in ite severest form, could not regenerate the heart of man; but it showed God's abhorrence of sin ani pointed toward the atonement. H. God blessed Noah: The Lord visited the remnant of his people in their devotions. Their sacrifice of faith pleas- ed God. The divine benediction was pronounced upon the new humanity. Noah became the representative of the patriar(bal families in covenant with God. a he heirship of the new world was :given to Noah and his seed ex- pressry as the children of faith. A blessing was coupled with the heirship and dominion of the world with corres-' ponding duties on the part of- man. God was giving commandment and mak- ing covenant with the whole human race through those eight persons,. III. God covenanted with Noah. God'e covenant with all the new human- ity originated with himself. The terms of the covenant refer to the averting of temporal punishment, but suggest the promise of higher thins. This covenant WAS to 'Noah a diselesure of God's secret thoughts and purposes. It was founded on a sacrifice. We see here the kind of life which it was God's design to encourage, a life of faith. Here was the commencement of a new era in the life of man. The pledge which Noah had anticipated,* when the returning dove brought the olive leaf, was con- firmed in the covenant which the Lord made with him. He could rest assured that the fields would yield their in- crease, that the forests would cover the earth with their ebadowe and that all conditions of seed -time the harvest would be granted as before. Amid all the corrnptione of his generation Noah had Walked with God, and he believed that his covenants would never be broken, bemuse the honor of his gov- ernment was pledged to their perform- ance. He was the devout condnet of a good man after a special deliverance from impending dretruction. Noah stood as a monument to the power of God to keep man. upright in Hie sight in the 'midst of corruption and violence, and one who directed the ways of his household in serving God.
