THE TABERNACLE OF THE WILDERNESS,

The same lesson shown in the Chart of the Ages is here taught in this divinely arranged type, the lessons of which will be more fully examined subsequently. We place it alongside, that the different planes or steps to the Holy of Holies may be duly noted or appreciated, as teaching the same steps already examined in detail. Ouiside the court of the tabernacle lies the whole world in sin, on the de- praved plane, R. Entering through the "gate" into the " court," we become believers or justified persons, on plane JV. Those who go forward in consecration press to the door of the Tabernacle, and, entering in (plane M ), become priests. They are strengthened by the "shew bread," en- lightened by the "candlestick" and enabled to offer ac- ceptable incense to God by Jesus Christ at the "Golden Altar." Finally, in the first resurreflion, they enter the perfeft spiritual condition, or "Most Holy" (plane Z), and are then associated with Jesus in the glory of the king- dom, plane JT.

THE BLESSED HOPE.

W A little while, earth's fightings will be over*

A little while, her tears be wiped away; A little while, the power of Jehovah Shall turn thfe darkness to Millennial Day*

<A little while, the ills that now o'erwhelm men

Shall to the memories of the past belong ; A little while, the love that once redeemed them Shall change their weeping into grateful song.

  • A little while I >Tis ever drawing nearer

The brighter dawning of that glorious day* Raise God, the light is hourly growing clearer,
