TABLES OF THE LAW REPLACED R E V I E W .

The Text : " T h o u art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful , slow to anger, and abundant in loving kind­ness."—Nehemiah i x . 17. '

Whoever fails to see that . Moses and Israel and the Law were types fails to get the real lesson out of them. Jlpses was not anerely a type of Jesus; bu t , as St. Peter explains, he was a type of the entire Church • f Christ , of which Jesus is the Head—the Church of g lory . St. Peter's words are, "Moses t r u l y said unto the fathers, A Prophet shall the L o r d your God raise up unto you of your brethren, l ike unto mc."— Acts i i i . 22-23.

Jesus was raised np first, and since Pente­cost the rais ing up from amongst the brethren has progressed. The work will be consummated when the f u l l number of the elect Church shall have been found, tested, proven and accepted to g lory . Then the an t i typ ica l Moses w i l l begin his groat work of del ivering a l l of mankind who desire to come back in to harmony w i t h God—all of whom were represented in the twelve tribes of Israel .

The Church of th is Gospel Age is, as St. James declares (i. 18), " A kind of first-fruits ( to God) of His creatures'." Other­wise i t is called the Church of the F i r s t ­borns, and was typ ica l ly represented in the tribe of Lev i , a l l of whom represented the first-borns of Israel, saved in the Passover. These first-borns were divided into two classes—the priests and their servants. The priests represented The- Chr is t—High Priest and under priests. The Levites represented the remaining number of the overcomers.

The an t i typ ica l priests w i l l be made a Royal Priesthood. Jesus, the great High Priest , invested w i t h k ing ly honours, will have associated w i t h himself the f a i t h fu l little flock, a Royal Priesthood, his j o in t -heirs. The remainder of the overcoming Church are co-labourers on a less glorious plane, yet sp i r i tua l . The work of all w i l l be

Srimarily to bless the people of the earth esiring to come in to harmony with God,

and typica l ly represented in the twelve tribes of Israel .

T H E F I R S T T A B L E S O F T H E L A W . The first tables of the L a w were prepared

by the L o r d Himself , as well as wr i t t en by Him. This represents the fact tha t man in his creation was a perfect image of his Creator, formed, created, in f u l l accord with the Divine w i l l and fu l ly expressive of the Div ine law. Adam needed no further pre­parat ion, and no other law than that which •was i n and of himself as a perfect being. But by reason of sin this law was broken. Poor humani ty no longer has a proper judgment respecting sin and righteousness. The o r ig ina l tables are shattered and grown i l l e g i b l e Man needs the great mediator, to make reconciliation for his i n i q u i t y and then to rewri te the Law of God in his flesh.

Then Moses was instructed to hew out the two tables of the law. This would re­present tha t The Christ of glory is fu l ly commissioned to prepare the hearts of man­k i n d for the re -wr i t ing of the Divine law. T o prepare man to obey God's law w i l l re­quire tha t they should experience Resti tu­t i o n — l i f t i n g up out of sin and degradation. Th i s work, committed to Moses in the type, is in the anti type committed to Chris t .

The second "coming of Moses down from the mountain w i t h the two tables of the L a w was peculiarly different f rom the pre­sentation of the first tables, which were broken. Coming w i t h the second tables, Moses' face shone; and i t was necessary for him to put on a vei l , which thereafter he wore when i n the presence of the Israelites, but removed when going in to the presence of God. This is understood to signify t ha t Christ 's work as the mediator, at his second advent, w i l l be accompanied by a ve i l ing of his glory, so tha t the wor ld w i l l not see Jesus (John xiv . 19). However, the Apostle explains tha t the church w i l l be pre­pared to see Christ i n his g lo ry by being changed from the earthly nature to the heavenly nature. " W e shall sec h im as he i s ," for "we shall be l ike h im"—"changed in a moment, i n the t w i n k l i n g of an eye," fo r "flesh and blood cannot inher i t the k ingdom of God."—1 John i i i . 2 : 2 Corin­thians xv. 50-52.

The p u t t i n g on of the veil (Exodus x x i v . 4, x x v i i . 35) represented tha t at the second advent of Christ , when he w i l l accomplish his great work as mediator for man and become their leader into the land of pro­mise—Paradise restored—he w i l l veil his g lory from mankind, and speak to them th rough the vei l , and not di rect ly f rom the sp i r i t plane. Whi le mankind w i l l see Jesus no more, i t w i l l be to their advantage. I n ­stead, they w i l l sec h im represented in the ancient worthies, as he declared, " Y e shall see Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and a l l the Prophets."—Luke x i i i . 28. Mank ind will not see the ancient worthies as they were. Rather, the wor ld w i l l see them resur­rected in human perfection, and therefore perfect, in the image of God, samples of wha t the wor ld may a t ta in i f they will but heed the words of the great Prophet—the ant i typ ica l Moses.

O T H E R F E A T U R E S OF T H E T Y P E . The anoint ing of the Aaronic priesthood

typif ied the anoint ing of Jesus and his Royal Priesthood. As in the type sacrifices were necessary t o be offered before the anoint ing and consecration to the priestly office were possible, so i t must be in the ant i type. Jesus needed to offer up himself, and by so doing to show his devotion and loyalty to God by sacrificing even unto death."

S imi lar ly , those called to be members of the body of Christ , the under priesthood of which he is the H i g h Priest, could conse­crate to their office only by sacrifice. In the case of the typical h igh priest, the sacrifice was a bullock. The anti type was the Lord 's own body. I n the case of the typical under priests, the sacrifice was a goat. The ant i ­type is the flesh, the human nature, of the Church.—Romans x i i . 1.

The same sacrifices which proved the loyal ty of the typical h igh priest and under priests became also sacrifices of atonement for the sins of the people—typical of the real sacrifices which are the basis for the forgiveness of the sins of the wor ld , and thus for the reconciliation of the wor ld , in God's due t ime. These are the "bet ter sacrifices" mentioned by St. Paul (Hebrews i x . 23). I n other words, everything in the type was on a small scale inferior to the ant i type.

The typical mediator offered typical sacri­fices. The real mediator offers "bet ter sacrifices." The typ ica l mediator led the typica l people in to the Land of Promise. The ant i typical mediator, d u r i n g the thou­sand years of his Reign, w i l l lead al l the people of God back t o the blessings and privileges lost through Adam's disobedience, and redeemed by the Sacrifice a t Calvary.

A M E R C I F U L , GRACIOUS GOD. Our Golden Text describes the God who

appeals to our hearts—the merciful One gracious, ready to pardon, slow to anger, abundant in loving kindness. I t is difficult for us t o imagine how much Christians and the wor ld in general have lost through our miserable misconceptions of - the Divine cha­racter, handed down to us th rough the creeds of the Dark Ages.

The thought tha t God has been intent upon t o r t u r i n g His creatures at the hands

of demons throughout eterni ty has doubtless been the cause of much of ' the inf idel i ty now prevalent, as, well as a great hindrance to the cause of Christ among the heathen.

I n the past, God manifested His mercy a i d kindness typ ica l ly to the typical people, but never fu l ly manifested Hi s loye and mercy for the wor ld u n t i l our Lord 's F i r s t Advent . Of t ha t great event we read, "Herein is manifested the love of God."

DOUBLE TRAGEDY.

H O R R I B L E CASE A T K I N G S T O N .

M r . Holf ram Court, a well-known loca/ cycle, engineer, and his wife were found dead i n the i r house, Mayfield, St. Albans-road, Kings ton . Court, who was formerly in business at I 'en-rhyn-road, Kingston, was thir ty-f ive years of age, and his wife, E d i t h , about t h i r t y - t w o .

Their two young children were unable to gain admission to the home. The neighbours informed the police, who obtained a ladder, and entered one of the upper rooms. Mrs . Court was found on her bed w i t h her head pract i­cally severed from her body, and her husband was discovered w i t h his head (wrapped in a blanket) in a gas oven in the kitchen. He also had a wound in the throat , but i t was not sufficient to cause death.

There were signs of a struggle in the bed­room. A razor was discovered, and i t is thought tha t the husband first cut his wife's throat , and then attempted to take his own l i fe w i t h a razor. Fa i l i ng to do so he went downstairs—there were traces of blood on the stairs leading from the bedroom—and com­mi t ted suicide in the ki tchen.

The couple, i t is stated, had not l ived happily together, and five years ago Mrs . Court ob­tained a jud ic ia l separation from her husband. Shortly afterwards her husband left for Canada. Two years later relatives effected a reconcilia­t ion . Differences again arose over money mat­ters. On Thursday afternoon the husband sent an unsealed letter to a neighbour w i t h the ob­ject of obtaining possession of some papers which Mrs. Court some t ime ago handed over for safe keeping.

VARSITY MAN'S SUICIDE.

The mysterious 3uicide of a B i r m i n g h a m man in London came before M r . F . Danford Thomas at the C i ty Coroner's Court . The man was W i l l i a m Macquirie Coley Proctor, twenty-six.

M r . Thomas Proctor, a brewer's manager, of Bi rmingham, said the dead man was his nephew, and had no occupation. He left school when about seventeen or eighteen years of age, and then went to the Bi rmingham Universi ty to study brewing, but he never qualified. He had been a barman. I n Ju l} ' witness met h i m walk ing about, and last saw him in St. Bartholomew's Hospi ta l . He said he took mercury perchloride, and stated i f he had thought he would not have died soon he would have taken something to make him die quicker.

W h y do you th ink he d i d i t ? — I have not the remotest idea. The only t h ing I can t h i n k of is tha t he joined the A r m y , after he had finished his education at the Univers i ty , and was there about four or five months, when he was kicked on the knee by a horse. Ho waa operated on i n the hospital, and after two o i three months was invalided home. I have heard h im say tha t he would do away w i t h himself because of the accident to his leg, which was very weak.

Proctor w i s found l y i n g on the footpath. A letter on h im was addressed to the coroner, and said: "Examina t ion of intestines unneces­sary. Poison—mercury perchloride."

A verdict of "Su ic ide" was returned, the j u r y being unable to find tha t there was suffi­cient evidence w i t h regard to the state o i his mind.

WATCH THREE YEARS I N A FIELD.

A remarkable watch story comes from Bardney, Lincolnshire.

Over three years ago Geo. W m . M i t c h e l l , the ten-year-old son of a Bardney farmer, was sent into a stubble field to tend a herd of "porkers ." He was entrusted w i t h his father's watch, and lost i t .

Eventually the field was ploughed Tip , crops raised and gathered, and the soil several times turned over.

Lmst week George W i l l i a m happened to' be in the same field w i t h a boy friend, who dis­covered the lost treasure.

The timepiece was wound up, at once started, and is as good as ever, even after three years' bu r i a l .

EAST-END TRAGEDY.

T H R E E L I V E S L O S T I N F I R E .

Three lives were lost on Saturday in a fire at a house i n Tredegar-squaro, Mi le End. Tho vict ims were:—

Abraham Jacobs, th i r ty -n ine , dealer. Fanny Jacobs, three years (his daughter), Solomon Desser, twenty-six, ta i lor . The house belonged to Isaac Levy, a

ta i lor , who lived w i t h his wife and four young children. A back bedroom on the ground floor and a kitchen at the back of the first floor were let to Jacobs, who occu­pied them w i t h his wife and two children, Ph i l ip , aged five, and Fanny, aged three.

W i t h i n a few moments of tho outbreak the entire house was enveloped in flames.

Jacobs' val iant effort to save his children cost him his l i fe .

Exc i t ing rescue scenes were witnessed in a ya rd at the back of the house. Two lads, Alec Levy and Ph i l ip Jacobs, reached the window of the ki tchen, the room being filled w i t h smoke. A neighbour brought a coun­terpane, and Levy , responding t o calls to " J u m p , " leaped nearly for ty feet and was caught. He escaped w i t h nothing worse than a shock.

The other lad could not be persuaded to leap, and his only response to calls was to glance back into "the burn ing room and call pathetically to his l i t t l e sister.

Eventual ly a neighbour, ge t t i ng on the roof of an outhouse, endeavoured to per­suade the boy to take hold of a l ino prop which was held near the window, but the boy was afraid to t rus t himself t o this slender method of escape.

By this t ime flames were beginning to appear at the window, and a minute later tho lad would inevi tably havo been en­veloped. Realising this the man forced the boy gently from his position on the window-ledge w i t h the prop. The lad fo i l and was caught by another man beneath tho window.

BURGLARS ON THE ROOF.

A t Middlesex Sessions George Smith , aged twenty-one, pleaded g u i l t y , and Al f red John Dearmau, costor, aged twenty-two, not g u i l t y to a charge of breaking and entering a warehouse at Edmonton and stealing f i f ty-seven blouses.

They were seen to enter the premises late at n igh t by means of a ladder, and an exci t ing chase followed. Prisoners got on the roof, and, being pursued by police officers, Smi th leapt about 12ft. on t o a r a i l ­way embankment, but was caught by a policeman who jumped after h i m . Dear-man got away, but was subsequently stop­ped by a publican, to whom he declared t h a t he was assisting the police. Prisoners were stated to have entered the premises through a window only 8in. wide.

Dearman's defence was tha t he was walk­i n g past the warehouse when he was told there were burglars inside and he went up the ladder to assist the police. H a v i n g a bad record he was sentenced to two years' imprisonment and Smith to twelve months' hard labour.

STOLE DETECTIVE'S WATCH.

Christopher Wrenn , twenty, a, clerk, of Baxter-grove, Canonbury, was charged on re­mand, at Clerkenwell, w i t h being concerned, w i t h another man not in custody, in stealing from the person of Detective Tongue, of the E Divis ion, a silver watch, value 30s., at Far-ringdon-road.

The officer said that he and a comrade saw prisoner and another man " m i n g l i n g w i t h the crowds." Witness got close to them. The man not i n custody got behind a person i n the crowd immediately i n front of witness, and the accused stood beside h i m . W h i l e watching the man in front witness fe l t a t u g at his watch-chain, and, looking down, he saw his watch in the prisoner's hand. I t was passed to the con­federate, who made off w i t h i t . Witness seized Wrenn , who exclaimed, " Pve not got i t . " Witness then told h i m tha t he was a police-o f f i c e r , and would arrest h im for stealing his wateh.

M r . Bros sent him to prison for three months' hard labour.

TRAGIC SEQUEL TO ARREST.

A sad sequel to the arrest of two women late on Thursday n igh t was related by Detective P. S. Mould , G Divis ion, in g iv ing evidence before M r . B i ron , at Old-street.

Jane Hooker, fifty-seven, and Elizabeth Smith , th i r ty- three , were charged w i t h the unlawful possession of a lady's black velvet plush jacket and a squirrel muff, together value £i, which were supposed to have been stolen or otherwise unlawful ly obtained.

The detective deposed tha t while in Haberdasher-street, w i t h Detective Newing, on the previous n igh t he saw the two p r i ­soners wa lk ing w i t h a t h i r d woman. The women caught sight of witness and turned and ran. Hooker, who was ca r ry ing a parcel, handed i t t o Smith. Witness "arrested Smi th , who dropped the parcel, and Detec­t i ve Newing arrested Hooker. Both were taken to the station, and i t was there found t h a t the parcel contained the jacket , pro­duced.

Af te r they had been formal ly charged p r i ­soners were placed in separate cells for the purpose of being searched, and on the entry of the female searcher the grey squirrel muff, produced, was found under the seat where Smith was s i t t i ng , bu t she, when taxed, denied any knowledge of i t . Later witness went to Hooker's house to prosecute his inquiries, and on a r r iv ing there found her husband dead i n bed. Apparent ly a neighbour had to ld h i m of his wife's arrest, and, being in bad health, the shock had k i l l ed h i m .

A remand was ordered, and Hooker, who was dressed i n deep mourning , was allowed out on her own recognisances.

J U R Y I N DIFFICULTIES.

The inquest on the vict ims of the A i s g i l l express collision concluded last Fr iday . The j u r y evinced considerable , difficulty in coming to a verdict, r e t i r i ng four times be­f o r e finally declaring tha t o f "Accidenta l death," w i t h certain riders.

The coroner gave the j u r y four questions to answer, the most important of which were:— " W a s death due to carelessness and neglect to exercise such degree of caution as was necessary for the safety of others on the par t of any person having responsibility for such safety; i f so, on the part of whom! Was death due to accident or misadven­ture?"

The j u r y first returned a verdict of care­lessness against the dr iver and fireman of the second t r a in , the rear guard of the first t r a in , and the locomotive superintendent at Carlisle, w i t h extenuating circumstances i n the c a s e of tho dr iver .

The coroner said there was no legal evi­dence of carelessness against the guard and locomotive superintendent, and 6 e n t the j u r y back to reconsider their verdict.

The j u r y again returned to court and presented the i r revised verdict , which the coroner read.

Fireman Fol-lowes we find g u i l t y o f negligence i n a lesser degree."

V E R D I C T C H E E R E D . To the coroner's four th quest ion: "W as (

death due ' t o accident or misadventure?" the coroner said the j u r y had answered "Yes , " and one or other answer must be wrong. Reading f rom the j u ry ' s findings, the coroner continued as follows: Great blame attaches t o the locomotive inspector at Carlisle f o r not providing a p i lo t engine when asked to do so, and also to the rear guard for not placing detonators on the line when the t r a i n stopped.

The coroner said this r inding amounted to a verdict of manslaughter against Caudlu and Followes.

The J u r y : " N o , n o ! " The Coroner: Then you don ' t intend to

F e n d these men for t r i a l f o r manslaughter? The J u r y : Certainly not. After again r e t i r i n g the j u r y consulted

the coroner pr ivate ly . They ret i red again for the fou r th t ime, and then returned a verdict of "Acc identa l death." They i n t i ­mated tha t the recommendations before re­ported should stand as riders t o thei r ver­dic t o f accidental death.
