Upon this foundation our Lord, as the Father's representative, began to rear his church, and in so doing he called twelve apostles—not by acci- dent, but by design, just as the twelve tribes of Israel were not twelve by accident, but in conform- ity to the divine plan. Not only did the Lord not choose more than those twelve apostles for that position, but he has never given uuthority since for any more, barring the fact that Judas, having proved worthy of a position among twelve, fell from his place and was succeeded by the Apostle Paul. I chose you, ve zo und bear fruit.”- From this it will be seen that we| are entirely out of accord with the views of those nominal creed systems who claim that the number of the] apostles was not limited to lwul\'e,| and that there have been successors since their day who spoke and wrote with equal authority with the orig- inal twelve. We deny this, and in evidence note how the Lord particu- larly chose those twelve, calling o mind the prominence of the number twelve in sacred things pertaining to this election; and we cap the climax by pointing to the symbolical picture of the glorificd church furnished in, There the New Jerusalem —the symbol of the new millennial government, the church, the bride united to her Lord—is very clearly delineated; and in the picture the most distinctly made toundations of that in the names Rev. 21, statement is that the twelve city are pre twelve foundations were written of the Lamb™ ter proof could we have ious, and What bet- that there no more, no less, were never more than twelve of these| Lamb, and that any Apostle Paul sug- 2 Cor, 112030, any need of apostles of the others were, as the gosts, “lalse apostles,” imagine for we still have those twelve with us—their testimony and the fruit of their labors-—in a much more convenient form than had those who were personally with them dur- ing their ministry., The records of their ministries are with us; their records of the Lord's words, miracles, ete, Their discourses on the various topics of Christian doctrine in their Nor can we more apostles; satisfactory manner, These “suflicient,” as the Apos- tle explains, *“that the man of God may be thoroughly furnished.” Ex- plaining the matter further the apos- tle declared, declare the 2 Tim, most things are counsel of God.” 20:27 Acts 2 whole 317 o Our Lord, in selecting these apos- tles, and in instructing them, had in view the blessing and instruction of all of His followers to the end of the age.

The apostles, although unlearned men, were evidently strong charac- | ters, and under the Lord's teaching their lack of worldly wisdom and ieducation was more than compensat- ed for in “the spirit of a sounl mind." It is not strange, therefore, that these men were uniformly rec- ognized by the early church as guides in the way of the Lord—specially ap- pointed instructors—*pillars in the church,” next in authority to th--| Lord Himself, In various ways the Lord prepared them for this position, They were with Him continually and could, therefore, be witnesses re- specting all the affairs of His min- His teachings, His miracles, His sympathy, His holi- self-sacritice unto Ideath, and, finally, witnesses of Hi.\'? resurrection.
