creed to stand for an ensign to the people, to which the Gentiles shall seek; and His "Sabbath shall be glorious," Isaiah 11. 10. As the son of Abraham He will receive His elect bride-He will take Israel from a far country-He will bring her into Sarah's tent. Indeed I really believe in the espousals of the Lamb, (in His Glory,) to the spiritual Israel, as truly as I believe, that He will reign over the house of Jacob forever. As the son of man, JESUS Christ will heir the throne of creation; and as the Son of God, He will exhibit His Father's image, as the second Adam. In all these characters, JESUS Christ will be personal and spiritual, in the acceptable year; in the Day of His power-in the times of restitution-at least, so I believe, according to my understanding of the holy scriptures.

Please to observe, that I view the humiliation of my Blessed Saviour, just on a par with the nature of "the seed of Abraham, but JESUS came through His probation, with God-like purity; and then submitted Himself to the curse-as though He had deserved it; for He was dumb before His accusersHe plead nothing on behalf of the life of His body -He consented to His father's will-He was in great agony while the bitter cup He drained; and His pure soul was made a sin offering. His faith was made perfect through sufferings; and thus the Captain of our salvation conquered the world, the flesh, and the devil, that He might save our souls from death; for in Adam's sin, we are dead, but for the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sin of the world, and did, by the grace of God, taste death for every man. By the perfection of the personal faith of Christ, believers stand justified; they are accepted in Him, The Beloved. The Father looks through Christ upon the penitent, heaven seeking soul; and

beholds the faith of JESUS, as seed of the Kingdom, dropping from the breast of dying Love, into ground prepared to receive it: if we would be saved, we must-I say emphatically, we must believe IN JESUS. Rightfully to apprehend our personal interest in the faith of JESUS, is a very nice point; and being brought to this, we are crucified with Him, nevertheless we live; and the life we live in the flesh, is by the faith of the Son of God, who loved us, and gave Himself for us-By the same faith (Christ living in us) we embrace the Hope of Glory; and the Spirit of Christ exhibits to our understanding of the scriptures, His second appearing, Advent and power, and reign of Blessedness upon earth.

I will not say that all Millenarians are in this case. I believe that tradition, an over-weening fondness for literality, and strong prepossessions in favour of the scriptural election, and covenants of GOD, may so eclipse the true and original Glory of the prophecies, which centre in God our Saviour, that we are in danger of denying Christ crucified, and so doing, we shall eventually be rejected of Him, who said, "except ye eat the flesh of the Son of man, and drink His blood, ye have no life in you." How honest, impartial, and devoted was Paul, to the faith of Jesus! How pure the doctrine He preached, from partiality to His elect nation! Deeply He lamented their fall! Strong was His love for their souls-firm his belief in their restoration-pointed his declaration of their superiority by election of GOD, especially, that "unto them were committed the Oracles of God;" and the apostle asks this question too, "what if some of them did not believe?-Shall their unbelief alter God's

covenant-God forbid, cries Paul-yea, let God be true and every man a liar. He ardently loved the ancient covenant, but it was in Christ-and never did Paul's zeal for the truth shine brighter, than in those forcible expressions, "If any man love not the Lord JESUS Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha"-I am convinced that impartiality in regard to outward distinctions, is a mark of true wisdom; and the reverse is folly. Let us endeavour then to watch against every encroachment upon the faith of JESUS; and see that our affections are not set upon things that are to take place on earth; but fixed on Christ, who is the believer's life, that when He shall appear, we may not be ashamed before Him, at His coming.

My subject (in these pages) has been enlarged under the motion of my pen, beyond any intention, or expectation in my mind-I cannot pursue it farther in the present No. of Millennial Tidings-the work is in the press-My head is almost overcome by loss of sleep-circumstances have compelled me to spend many night hours in writing. I find I must stop; or peradventure rue the consequences of over-much exertion. If the Lord please, I shall finish my testimony, in Number four.-I left the rain-bow Sign, to speak of Him, who is the Antitype-and have only presented as it were, the very last particle of a drop, from the unfathomable Ocean of sacred Glory, JESUS Christ, ("He is Lord of all,") of whom, I know so little, that shame might well cover my face, "While His dear cross appears," yet O! I may glory, and I will, and I do glory, in that faithful apostolic, and acceptable saying, that "Christ JESUS came into the world to save sinners, of whom I am chief"-I shall add likewise,

that I am enabled fully to believe that He will come again, and that soon, to which my spirit responds Amen

"Come, Lord Jesus, come quickly."
Amen.

THE INDIANS.

WHO ARE THEY? WHENCE CAME THEY?

"TRIBES of a secret,"-what is your origin? is a question that I would exchange millions for, if I had them, to have it answered by the Aborigines of America, in the joyful strain, we are Joseph's "branches, that have run over the wall." Gen. 49. 22. But why am I so ardent on this subject? Why? Surely an answer is ready. It is this. I view the Indians as a people "scattered and peeled, a people meted out and trodden down, of whom I read in God's holy word, that they are to be brought as a present "to the Lord, to the place of the name of Jehovah of hosts-Mount Zion." Please to study the eighteenth chapter of Isaiah's vision; and pray to the Lord to give you a thorough understanding of his address to America, that relates to the "children of the west."
