Mr. Morden Compares Them To the Israelites. At the morning services in Bethel Congregational church yesterday, Rev. Mr. Morden gave his second bible reading on "The Experiences of the Children of lerael as Typical of the Experiences of Present Day Christ fans." The following are some of the analogies presented and truths em phasized : (1) The Israelite in Egypt was shel tered by the blood of the paschal lamb and his fear of 'déath and judg ment entite.y removed by the word of Him who had said the blood 1 wiil pass over you." Ged could righteously pass over the house that was sprinkled with blood. More ever, He came down to be their guide and defence all through the wilderness journey. And in like God's children commence their chris tian life and warfare redeemed by the blood of Christ and at peace with God, for "Being justified " inith we have peace with God." More thav this, the Lord Jesus has promised never to leave those for whom He has died, and by His spirit He forever dwells in the hearts of all ple, their rock and defence--"a shelter in a time of storm." (2) The lsraclites learned two things at the Red sea, viz, the con tinued enmity and power cof Egypt; and Jehovah's power to save. Kvery christian must also learn that his old nature, the flesh in him, is ever en mity towards God, and that Christ is a 'Saviour. not only from sin's con dene tion, but also from its power. He alone can open up the Red sea of difficulties, and He alone can give us the vigtory over all our spiritual foes. -------- St. Louis' Ambition. It is estimated that the world's fair at ST.
