The Pentateuch, as the instrument of God in that of the Beginnings, is thus evermore in a fontal relation to the true new kind in the Creator and Redeemer. And the vast importance Of Exoc' appear when it is seen to be, thus, the central vitally essential part whose importance is so vast as a feeder Of that life which is unseen and Exodus is not only a continuation of the narrative in Genesis on to tl Books Of Moses. Our translators, when they make the V, at the 0p( book, to be, not and, as in Lev. I. 1, but now mean that l something more than simply continuation O a decisively new reach of the stream.

Corinthians That No man can serve Two masters. God and idols can never agree. Some of the Corinthians partook Of the Lord's Supper, and then joined idolaters in their unhallowed feasts. 1. They did this probably Because they thought as an idol was nothing, there could be no harm in the act. (2) Or from some lingering feeling of superstition connected with the old forms Of worship. (3) Or because they wished to avoid thejeers, and, perhaps, persecution of their Old companions. 2. But the Christians who attended those sacrifices would be supposed to engage in the same worship (ver. And just so now; in order to receive the Divine benediction men must be straightforward and true. Ye cannot serve God and mammon. V. A manifestation OF true greatness (ver. Some men think it a Sign of great ness. When they carry their point in opposition to every one else. The apostle says true greatness is seen when self is light as a feather compared with the interests of the other. The concluding verses illustrate his meaning. Here, then, is a principle for the guidance of life. The true Christian may go anywhere, and do anything that his own conscience does not condemn but the moment he is in danger by his liberty of leading others astray, abstain from the act, even if you deny yourself; VI. Do not make religion obtrusive, but always act religiously (vers. 27, VII. Whatsoever YE do, DO all TO the glory OF god. This is the supreme end of life, and the only right motive of action; indeed, this principle includes all others (a. F. Barfield.) The old a type of the new - All history is prophecy. Knowing what has been, we are far on the way to know what shall be. This is specially true in religious matters. Rl'he substance Of all dispensations is the same, and even the forms for one occasion answer also to the forms in other occasions. The New Testament began in the Old, and the Old Testament is consummated in the New. This is clearly implied in the text, in which we note - I. A sacred baptism.

In that obedience, He was persevering through all trials. He sa s that He did not turn away back. Having commenced the work of saving men, e went through with it. IV. Behold the messrah As the peerless sufferer. (ver. It has been asked, Did God really die? No; for God cannot die, yet He who died was God so, if there be a confusion in your mind, it is the confusion of Holy Scripture itself, for we read, Feed the Church of God, which He hath purchased with His own blood. In addition to the pain, we are asked, in this verse, to notice particularly the contempt which the Saviour endured. The plucking of His hair was a proof of the malicious contempt of His enemies, yet they went still further, and did spit in His face. Spitting was regarded by Orientals, and, I suppose, by all of us, as the most contemptuous thing which one man could do to another; yet the Vile soldiers gathered round Him, and spat upon Him. I must point out the beautiful touch of voluntariness here: I hid not my face. Our Saviour did not turn away, or seek to escape. If He had wished to do so, He could readily have done it. Conclu sion Notice three combinations which the verses of m text will make. (1) Verses 2 and 6. Those verses together show the full ability of hrist to save. Here we have God and the Sufi'erer. (2) Verses 4 and 5. Here you have the Teacher and the Servant, and the two together make up this truth - that Christ teaches us, not with words only, but with His life. What a wonderful Teacher He is, who Himself learned the lessons which He would have us learn! (3) Now put the whole text together, and I think the result will be - at least to God's people - that they will say, Thrs God shall be our Gofor ever and ever and it shall be our delight to do His bidding at all times. It is a high honour to serve God and Christ is God. It is a great thing to be the servant of a wise teacher and Christ has the tongue of the learned. It is a very sweet thing to walk in the steps of a perfect Exemplar and Christ is that. And, last and best of all, it is delightful to live for Him who suf fered and died on our behalf. H. Spurgeon.)

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Biblical Illustrator, or Anecdotes, Similes, Emblems, Illustrations, Expository, Scientific, Geographical, Historical and Homiletic, Gathered From a Wide Range of Home and Foreign Literature, on the Verses of the Bible: St. Matthew Tun Nam - new Tasmanian - The term, New Testament, is unquestionably connected with the institution of the Lord's Supper. The Lord Himself designates the Eucharist the New Covenant in His blood, and this name is strictly correct. The New Testament fellowship of believers reconciled to God by Christ, which, so to speak, commences in, and is introduced by baptism, is completed and appears outwardly in the Holy Supper. In the Eucharist the Lord carries out that New Covenant with the Church which is founded upon His holy life and His Word, upon His atoning death, His victory, and on the conversion of individual believers. While the celebration of the Eucharist is a remembrance of the first foundation of the Church, it ever inaugurates anew the formation of the Church, and also serves for its manifestation. Hence the writings which record the foundation'of this new. And eternal Covenant are themselves called the New Covenant, the New Testament. Lastly, this designation indicates the connection and the contrast between these writings and those of the Old Covenant. (j. P. Lange, D.D.)

The coitus was orgiastic, with wild music and dances led by the Corybantes - not without the usual accommniments of impurities and other abominations, though it might have mystic initiations and secret teachings. Rhea, or Cybele, the mother of the gods, was the chief object of adoration, and derived a surname from the places where her service was established. The great Mother appears on the coins of all the cities, and many coins found in the mine of the Wall of Hadrian have her efiigy. At Paesinae her image was supposed to have fallen from heaven, and there she was called Agdistes. Though the statue was taken to Rome during the war with Hannibal, the city retained a sacred pro-eminence. Strabo says that her priests were a sort of sovereigns endowed with large revenues, and that the Attalian kings built for her a magnificent temple. The Gauls are supposed to have been accustomed to somewhat similar religious ordinances in their national ao-called Druidin.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Biblical Illustrator, or Anecdotes, Similes, Emblems, Illustrations; Expository, Scientific, Geographical, Historical, and Homiletic, Gathered From a Wide Range of Home and Foreign Literature, on the Verses of the Bible, Vol. 1: The Psalms Divisions. - We are accustomed to speak as if the Psalter were a single book; but, accurately, it is five books drawn up at different times and placed side by side. In Revised Version this division is rightly maintained, and even in Authorised Version it may be traced by means of the doxology with which each book closes. Book 1. Comprises Psalms i.-x1i.; Book II., x1ii.-1xxii.; Book III., lxxiii.-1xxxix.; Book IV., xc.-cvi. Book V., cvii.-cl. There is some reason to believe, however, that originally the books were three, and that they were altered into five in imitation of the Pentateuch; the original divisions being i.-x1i., (2) xlii.-lxxxix., (3) xc.-cl. There can be no doubt that these books were compiled in the order in which they come down to us; yet we are not to imagine that all the early Psalms were comprised in the first book, and none but late Psalms in the fifth. An analogy with Hymns Ancient and Modern may help us here. A few years ago an appendix was issued, and this contains many hymns written since the first edition was published but also it goes over exactly the same ground as the original edition, and contains a sprinkling of ancient hymns. It is tolerably certain that originally the compilations were distinct, and that the various editors worked quite inde pendently. This is shown by the remarkable fact that the same Psalms, with slight variations, occur more than once, just as nowadays we may find the same hymn, with or without a slight change, in, say, Hymns Ancient and Modern and The Hymnal Companion. Thus Psalm liii. In Book II. Is the same as Psalm xiv. In Book I., and Psalm lxx. The same as vers. 13-17 of Psalm xl. And in Book V. Psalm cviii. Consists of five verses of Psalm 1vii., added to six verses of Psalm lx., these verses, Of course, belonging to Book II. Clearly, if the compilers of the later books were endeavouring merely to supplement the earlier they would never have incorporated into their collections Psalms which they knew had already appeared.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Biblical Illustrator, or Anecdotes, Similes, Emblems, Illustrations, Vol. 2: Expository, Scientific, Geographical, Historical, and Homiletic, Gathered From a Wide Range of Home and Foreign Literature, on the Verses of the Bible Disciplea - Saul, a persecutork - Saul was an educated young man, and that he should engage in the work of persecution strikes us as anomalous and unnatural. In young men we naturally expect a frank concession of freedom to think and generous and chivalrous impulses. We are not much surprised when we find in tolerance as men advance in life, for age is conservative, and may be narrow and bigoted. Young men are often sceptical and unsettled in their notion they ques tion the correctness of opinions long held to be true, and employ t emselves in adjusting new discoveries to received truths. But the very nature of this process tends to make them liberal, for they cannot deny to others the liberty they claim for themselves. Old men, however, are confirmed believers or unbelievers; and hate to be opposed or unsettled. Hence we are not surprised that the Sanhedrin should be composed in a great part of elders, nor that the principal functionaries of the holy office, should be men of advanced years. Yet few men, young or old, have been so furious in persecution as was Saul (chaps. Viii. 8; xxii. 4; xxvi. 9 - 11; Gal. I. 13; 1 Tim. I. 13; 1 Cor. Xv. 1. Tim psnvansncn or pnasnou'rron. The manner in which new views have been received is one of the most remarkable things in history. The public tears of Pericles were necessary to save Aspasia, suspected of philosophy; but all his eloquence could not save Anaxagoras for having taught that there was an intelligent cause of all things. Socrates was put to death for teaching the same thing. Aristotle only saved his life by flight in order, as he said, to save the Athenians a new crime against philosophy. Plato was twice thrown into prison, and once sold as a slave. Galileo was imprisoned for maintaining that the sun is the centre of the universe. The Saviour was cruci fied, and in almost every country His religion has encountered opposition and secured a triumph only as the result of a baptism of blood and fire. II. He causes. 1. The war of Opinion. A man's Opinions are a part of himself, and become as dear as life or liberty. They are the measure of his reputation and' influence, and are the result of all his experience and studies. To attack them is, therefore, to attack him; to overthrow them is to take away all that constitutes his claim to notice while living, or to remembrance when dead. This remark has additional force, if the matter is connected with religion. To attack this is to assail that which must be dearest of all to the heart of man, inasmuch as it may leave man in aworld indisputably wretched with no hope of a better. Religious opinions, therefore, have been among the slowest to make progress; the strife in regard to them has been the most bitter; and freedom of religious speech has been among the last of the victories secured by the conflicts of past ages. 2. Vested interests. There are institutions, endowments, orders of men, customs and usages, that grow out of forms of doctrine. All the religions of ancient and most of modern times were sustained by law. Rome indeed recognised those of other nations, but then it was a principle that while each country recognised the rest, it allowed no attack on its own. When, therefore, Christianity attacked all forms of idolatry, it arrayed against itself all the malice of a mighty priesthood, and all the power of the State; and the result is well known. 3. The sanction given by religion to the corruptions of the human heart. The plan of the Prince of darkness has been to 1.

A stronger reason than these might be drawn from the presence in his name of Jehovah. Which appears to have been confined at the earlier periods of Israel's history to pro r names of the royal houses. But even this is not conclusive, and one rea y knows nothing of either Isaiah's forefathers or his upbringing. He was married, his wife is called the prophetess (viii. And he had two sons to whom he gave names symbolic of those aspects of the nation's history which be enforced in his prophecies She'ar-yashab, A remnant shall return, who was old enough in 736-735 to be taken by his father when he went to face Kin Ahaz (vii. And Maher-shalal-hash-baz, Spoil-speeds-booty-hastes, who was rn about a year later (viii. 1 The legend that Isaiah was twice married has been deduced from the false inference that the oung woman of marriageable age (vii. 14) was his wife. By this expression t e prophet probably did not mean a definite individual. The most certain and significant fact about Isaiah is that he was a citizen, if not a native, of Jerusalem, and had constant access to the court and presence of the king. Jerusalem is Isaiah's immediate and ultimate regard, the centre and return of all his thoughts, the hinge of the history of his time, the summit of those brilliant hopes with which he fills the future.

How much earlier this former treatise may have been written is uncertain. But Dean Alford remarks that the words imply some considerable interval between the two productions. The opinion of the younger Thiersch thus becomes very probable, that it was written at Cwsarea during St. Paul's imprisonment there, an. 58 - 60. The Gospel of St. Matthew was probably written about the same time; and neither Evangelist appears to have used the other, although both made use of that form of oral teaching which the apostles had gradually come to employ.
