The ser- vice porforeeg therein was divided in two parts. - priest went _always into.the first t, but into the second went the high priest alone, once every year. o' _The repentant sinner who found that be had broken one of God’s comman ments, deposited in the sacred ark in the most holy place of the earthly sanctuary, was directed to bring an offering to the door of the tabernacle. and there confess his sin over the head of this innocent sacrifice. With his own hand the sinner slew the sacrifice, thus confessing that his sin was wor- thy of sin, but that he believed God would accept a substitute in his place. The priest offered the blood before the Lord and the sinner was forgiven. At the close of the religious year these same sins were brought to the mind of the sinner. A most solemn service was performed in the second | apartment. This service was to cleanse the sanctuary and make, in type, a final disposition of sin. ~ This com- pleted their round of service and was a shadow of the work of Christ. The high priest in his work typified Christ. As he sprinkled the blood of the lamb daily before the vell, so Christ pleads His own blood before God as a ransom for our sins. The speaker explained that upon the very date that the people chose Christ for their leader, at his entry into Jeru- salem, the 'amb was to be chosen for the eacrifice. Four days later, at the very hour when the lamb should have been slain, Jesus hung upon the cross and cried “Tt ig finished.” At the same time the veil of the temple was rent in twain and the lamb escaped from the terrified priest. Thus type met anti-type. - A violin solo was rendered at the close of the lecture. The MesSiahship of Christ Proven was the subject announced for Thurs. day evening at the public lecture.

London, March 13, 8.16 . house "of 'lords today oassed the secs ond reading of the bill to deprive ene- my princes of British titles and dig- nities, after the government had prom- ised fo refer the bill to a special com- mittee for future consideration. This promise was made as the outcome of differences between some of the peers who desired to shelve the bill on the ground that it was absurd to regard certain princes as traitors. The Marquis of Lansdowne agreed that the bill was only intended to ap- ply to the Duke of Albany, the Duke of Comberland and Prince Albert of Schlesweig-Holstein, all of whom are related to the British royal family and who, he agreed, could not possibly be regarded as traitors. The Marquis admitted that the bill was a mere con- cession to public opinien and required more examination than it had previ- ously received, because, he added, if it was desirable to satisfy public opinion it would be needful to go much fur- ther and deprive .large numbers of persons who were fishting against England of their orders and decora- tions. Earl Curzon of Kedleston, a member of the war council, and Zovernment leader in the house of lords, thought the Marquis of Lansdownc togk pub- lic opinion too little into account, which was a factor that had to be taken into consideration. The bill, Earl Curzon added, was supported by all parties in the house of commons, and its rejection would expose the gov- ernment "to misrepresentations, and probably provoks a - public outery which might interfere with the con- duct of the war.
