“That ye may be found of him in peace, without spot and blameless.” 2 Pet. iii, 14.
The importance of the moments in which we live, should certainly lead us to a faithful improvement of them all. We have a great work to do, and the sun of our probation will quickly set. The harvest will pass, and the summer end, and with these the last mercy-drops for the sinner. Unless we are diligent, we shall be found not having our work done, and consequently unprepared to stand. Where is there one that would be willing to be thus found when the Lord Jesus shall be revealed from heaven with his mighty angels? Who, without a preparation, can hear the burning glory of that day? Can such stand beneath the gaze of him whose eyes are as a flame of fire, which will search his children through and through? O, brothers and sisters, what a preparation we need for this solemn event! Nothing, save clean hands and a pure heart, will make us secure in that day. We must be "without spot and blameless." But how are we to attain to this? Certainly not by making a slight effort now and then, and at other times resting inactive and unconcerned. But we must put forth a mighty effort, and that continually. We must be "diligent." Every nerve should be strung to action, and we should take hold of this work as though our all depended upon our course; for indeed it does. Eternal life is at stake. By diligence, we may obtain it, but if we slacken our hands, lay down our watch, and cease to strive, all is lost!
I feel intensely while I think on this subject. I know the people of God have been often warned. Repeated testimony from heaven has been given, and yet by many, it is passed wholly unheeded. Such remain stupid and careless, and do not seem at all in earnest to put away sin, and perfect holiness in the fear of God. And the thought that they may not be found of Christ in peace, appears to move them but little. How long will it be thus? O that such would feel, and be led to action while the Saviour’s bowels of compassion are moved for them.
Can we expect to realize the hope of the christian, to be made welcome to the tree of life, and partakers of the joy of heaven, and to sit with Jesus on his throne, if we are unwilling to comply with the requirements of the word of God? What! sit down on the throne with Jesus, who humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross, without suffering any for his sake? Can those who are unwilling to give all, yea, honor, wealth, friends, self, and all, expect a reward so rich? Rather it seems to me, when all is laid upon the altar, our life with the rest, that it is indeed a wonder of mercy for God to accept so poor an offering. Yet for the sake of his dear Son, he will. Praise his holy name. Yea, my heart says praise the Lord.
“The soul of the diligent shall be made fat.” Prov. xiii, 4. We cannot expect much of the grace of God while indolent, careless and unfaithful. God calls for laborers (not idlers) in his vineyard. Especially now in the close of the day of probation, while we are “looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God,” should we “give diligence” to make our “calling and election sure.” The Lord cannot verify his promises unto us, and give us the help that we must have to overcome, unless we are faithful to fulfill on our part.
The truth we prize so highly has been brought to us at a sacrifice. It can be carried to others in no other way. A covenant must be made with God by sacrifice. But will it be done grudgingly, or of necessity? Certainly not by those whose hearts are in the work, for “God loveth a cheerful giver.” Such will not only give cheerfully, but liberally.
Can it be that any of the love that dwelt in the bosom of the Father when he gave his Son, or of the Son when he laid down his life for sinners, dwells in the hearts of his professed people, who refuse to give of their substance to forward the truth to perishing souls? Will a christian grasp unyieldingly his possession, or count it a great sacrifice to give a few dollars made of the shining dust of the earth, to save souls? Let those who feel thus, stop a moment and reflect on the sacrifice of the Son of God, who left the bosom of the Father, and the glory of heaven and came here and led a life of suffering, then yielded it up on the cross for us! Should not the cheek of191such an one mantle with shame, as we draw this contrast? Is it too much, brethren and sisters, to give all for Jesus’ sake? Can you not make a transfer of your means to heaven, where it will be safe? Do you not want to provide for yourselves bags that wax not old, a treasure in the heavens which faileth not? O be diligent in this respect, lest you be found wanting, having no inheritance in the “land whither thou goest up to possess it.” Get “the earnest” of the kingdom which is about to open, and its beauties unfold before the people of God, and this earth will cease to attract you as it now does. Buy the “gold tried in the fire,” and the treasures of the world will look, compared with that, like the veriest dross.
Many of us live and talk the truth as though it was fiction, and not a reality. This not does affect sinners and lead them to tremble. In the world, fiction is presented as truth, and it takes a deep hold. Its effects may be seen. If we would get the truth deep in our hearts, then live it, (which we must do if we go to mount Zion) and show our faith by our works. It would tell powerfully for the cause of God. O, then, let us go about this work, and begin now. The faithful and true Witness has declared because we are lukewarm he will spue us out of his mouth. Before we are aware, perhaps, this may be done. We know not how long God will bear with his people, who do not heed the injunction, “be zealous and repent.” But one thing is certain, we cannot begin too soon, nor be too much in earnest. In view of this, is it not needful for us to be “diligent,” that we may be found of him in peace.

The Sabbath in the Greek Testament
By Wm. J. Hardy
From Bro. Hardy.
Bro. Smith: Through the instrumentality of Bro. Frisbie, last Summer, I was led to see a beauty in what is termed present truth, especially the commandments of God. After being connected with the Free Will Baptists a number of years, I was led to cast my lot with the Sabbath-keepers in Caledonia; and I have never regretted that step. Last Sabbath we enjoyed the sweet, melting Spirit of the Lord. Our hearts were made glad; and we were enabled to "read our title clear to mansions in the skies."
In conversation with my former pastor, he takes the ground that there might have been a change in the Sabbath at the resurrection, as there are two sabbaths in the original Greek, together. He says, Matt. xxviii, 1, reads in the Greek Testament, "In the end of the Sabbaton as it began to dawn towards the first of the Sabbaton, came Mary, &c.," day being put in by the translators, and Sabbaton taking the place of week. He says it is the same in all the gospels, and John xx, 19. Information on this subject is my apology for intruding this on a stranger, yet made near by the blood of Christ.
Yours in hopes of the kingdom,
WM. J. HARDY.
Cuba, Kent Co., Mich.
Note. In reference to the Greek of Matt. xxviii, 1, we append the following remarks from an article we had occasion to write on this subject in Review No. 21 Vol. viii:
Robinson in his Greek Lexicon of the New Testament gives the following as a second definition of sabbaton : "2. Meton. a sabbath, put for the interval from sabbath to sabbath; hence a se'nnight, a week." One of the definitions which Greenfield also gives to this word, is "a period of seven days; a week," whether in the singular or plural.
An instance of its use in this sense is found in Luke xviii, 12, where the proud Pharisee, in his self-righteousness, exclaimed, "I fast twice in the week," (nesteuo dis tou sabbatou) will any one say that sabbaton here means one day only, and that the old Pharisee fasted twice on the Sabbath?
The word in this sense, according to Robinson, occurs elsewhere "only after numerals marking the days of the week ;" and in proof of this, he cites us to those very texts which some have of late been using in trying to make people believe that the term, Sabbath, is applied by Scripture to the first day of the week ; namely, Matt. xxviii, 1; Mark xvi, 2; Luke xxiv, 1; John xx, 1, 19; Acts xx, 7; 1 Cor. xvi, 2.
In view of these facts let us look more particularly at Matt. xxviii, 1. Opse de sabbatoon, but in the end of the Sabbath (or week, the seventh day, or Sabbath, being the last day of the week,) tee epiphoskousee, as it began to dawn, eis, towards mian, the first, (the numeral, marking the day of the week, according to Robinson,) sabbatoon, of the week.
Concerning the numeral mian, we would remark that it cannot agree with sabbaton understood, as would necessarily be the case if it meant one (Sabbath) of a new series of Sabbaths then introduced as the writer above quoted contends; for mian is of the feminine gender, and sabbaton is neuter. There is no word with which, in this case, it can agree, except heemerran, day, understood, as is given in the margin of the Greek Testament. With mian, therefore, agreeing with day understood, and sabbatoon denoting the week, the case clearly stands thus: "As it began to dawn towards the first (day) of the week." Hence any one can see that it is not possible, without doing violence to the sacred text, to give to such passages as Matt. xxviii, 1, a rendering essentially different from that of the common version.
SELECTIONS.
"The Lord and I were there."
A FEW years since, in one of the towns of our old Puritan New England, there was established "a morning prayer-meeting," with particular reference to a revival of religion. For some time, the meeting was well sustained; however, a few months brought a sad change, without witnessing any special interest among sinners, on the most important of all subjects, that of the salvation of the soul. If professors had in any measure their hearts warmed by meeting together, they were willing to relapse again to selfish worldliness, for every succeeding week witnessed such a falling off and gradual declension, that no doubt it was given up in the minds of many and entirely forgotten.
Not so with "one steadfast follower of our Lord;" he continued to meet in that place of prayer, and like Jacob wrestle with God, and it was indeed a Bethel to him, and he might well say, "he met God face to face."
One morning returning from this consecrated spot, he was met by one of the brethren of the church, who said.
"Where now, brother, so early in the morning?"
"From the prayer-meeting," was the reply.
"From the prayer-meeting? I thought that was given up long ago. Why, who was there, do tell me, friend?"
"Well, I'll tell you, brother. The Lord and I were there, and are there every morning, and most precious seasons we are enjoying; we have sustained it for a long time, and it has been well sustained, and has never been given up."
The answer was so forcibly brought home to the conscience, that the next morning found this brother at his post, and from that time other members of the church followed his example, and in a few weeks that room was filled to overflowing, and the most powerful revival followed ever witnessed in that church, and also in adjoining towns.
Is it not safe always to trust God and rely upon his promises, believing he will accomplish all his pleasure in his own good time?
The Church at Caledonia
By Andrew J. Corey
From Bro. Corey.
BRO. SMITH : I wish to say that the church here in Caledonia is rising above the little trials we have had. There has been a spirit of confession, and a breaking down before the Lord. I feel that the Lord is with us of a truth. We are trying to keep all his commandments, and to heed the message to the Laodiceans. Praise the Lord that Bro. Frisbie was ever directed to come this way, and that I ever heard the Third Angel's Message. My heart burns within me when I think of the glorious truths that now are shining forth from the sacred pages. O, precious Bible! thou art mine. I am thankful that I have learned the time that we are living in. I am waiting for the appearing of my blessed Saviour. The day of his coming hasteth greatly. I want to be ready for it and have an inheritance in the land that was promised to Abraham. May the Lord grant that this may be.
Yours striving to overcome.
ANDREW J. COREY.
Gaines, Mich., Apr. 16th, 1858.
Extracts from Letters.
Sr. M. Capin writes from Clarkson, N. Y., Apr. 11, 1858: "I have felt that it was good to be afflicted, and can say with the Psalmist, 'He knoweth our frame: he remembereth that we are dust. As for man, his days are as grass: as a flower of the field so he flourisheth; but the mercy of the Lord is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him. To such as keep his covenant, and to those that remember his commandments to do them.'"
Bro. D. W. Johnson writes from Gaines, Mich., Apr., 1858: "I feel to rejoice in the Third Angel's Message. Once I could not understand the Bible: now it is a plain book to me."
Bro. & Sr. Brown write from Berryton, Ills., Apr. 11th, 1858: We have had no cheering word of encouragement for nearly two years, excepting through the Review. There are none here that keep the Sabbath besides ourselves, and it is very lonely. We wish that some of the messengers would find their way to us. The people here are mostly professors, but very ignorant of the Bible. They seem to think a farm is all that is needful."
Bro. T. Hale writes from Hubbardston, Mass., April 17th, 1858: "I feel thankful that I was ever permitted to hear the truth as it is in the Third Angel's Message, and O that it may work deliverance for me, that when the latter rain shall come, I may share its blessing. I feel that it is sweet work to believe and love. It heals, delights and strengthens. May God help me to overcome, and be gathered with the righteous."
The Beauty Of Cheerfulness.
A MERRY and cheerful countenance is one of the things which Jeremy Taylor said his enemies could not take away from him, and Professor Dewey remarks that there are some persons who spend their lives in this world, as they would spend them shut up in a dungeon. Everything is made gloomy and forbidding.
They go complaining from day to day, that they have so little, and are constantly anxious lest what they have should escape out of their hands. They always look upon the dark side, and can never enjoy the good. That is not religion.
Religion makes the heart cheerful, and when its large and benevolent principles are exercised, man will be happy in spite of himself.
The industrious bee does not complain that there are so many poisonous flowers and thorny branches on his road, but buzzes on, selecting his honey where he can find it, and passing quietly by the place where it is not. There is enough in this world to complain about, and find fault with, if men have the disposition to do so. We often travel on a hard and uneven road; but with a cheerful spirit, and a heart to praise God for his mercies, we may walk therein with comfort, and come to the end of our journey with peace.
Fine Preaching.
The curse of the age is fine preaching; it is morbid and pestilential. The want of the age is plain, intelligent preaching; preaching suggestive and illustrative; preaching absorbing all that eloquence can offer, but eloquence adapting itself (without which it ceases to be eloquence) to the wants and states of the people; availing itself of the lights of history for illustration; or of science for confirmation; or of philology for elucidation, and holding also aloft that they may reflect their rays upon the genius of christianity, and develop its superior lustre, adaptability, and power.
The attempt to say fine things in the pulpit is a solemn sin; and fine sermons (like all other finery) are very evanescent in their influence. Let the fine sermon system die out as fast as possible, useless as it is to God and man. It devolves upon a few men to show to those not gifted with so much moral courage, that there is everything to gain and nothing to lose by the adoption of a more honest system of instruction. Intelligence will ever hie away to the man able to teach.
Where Art Thou?
HAS there never been a time, when, if God had spoken in a voice of thunder to your soul, and asked, "Where art thou?" you would have trembled at the sound, and shrunk from the appalling inquiry? If there has, thank God, that in that forbidden act, in that guilty hour, you were not cut off and taken away forever; thank God, from the bottom of your hearts, that there was One who then said, "Let it alone this time also," One who interceded for you, and we trust successfully, that you might yet be spared, to live, to repent, to believe, to the saving of your soul.—Sel.
Anger
ANGER.—It is the great duty of Christians to put off anger. It unfits for duty. A little jogging puts a clock out of frame; so a little passion the heart. A man cannot wrestle with God and wrangle with his neighbor at the same time.
To every observer of the political events of the present day, it must be evident that there is an overruling providence, or a restraining influence, which is preserving so general a quiet among the nations of the earth. It is well known that the peace of Europe depends at this moment on the life of Napoleon III, of France. An attempt was recently made upon his life: it failed. The chief conspirator, Orsini, was arrested, and executed in Paris, March 20th. From a brief memoir of his life we learn that under his auspices was consummated that organization which spread the elements of revolution throughout Italy and Europe, in the great outbreak of 1848—a movement which we have reason to believe would have resulted in a time of trouble such as never was, had it not been, as every one admits, as strangely and mysteriously quelled, as it had been set on foot. He has not been idle since that time. But his schemes have failed, and involved him in the loss of his own life also. In him the revolutionists have lost a busy head and active arm; but the principles are still working; the masses are still chafing under the iron heel of their oppressors; discord is still fermenting; and when those objects are accomplished for which they have thus been held in check, then they will take at the Lord's hand the cup of his fury, and be moved and be mad, and drink and "be drunken, and spue, and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword which he will send among them." Jer. XXV.
We will refer to one event in our own land. The Lecompton bill, entailing slavery upon Kansas has been defeated. But suppose it had not been defeated; suppose it had passed both houses of Congress, and Kansas been admitted as a slave State; civil war in Kansas, and perhaps not alone in Kansas, is the result which was everywhere predicted to hang upon that contingency. But this bill, upon which was suspended such important results, could not have been carried by the Republicans alone. Says the N. Y. Tribune, "But for six votes from the slave States the bill must have passed."
A quieting hand seems thus to be laid on the discordant elements now working in the world, which shows us that not quite yet, has the time come for the angels to loose the winds, and discord rage in fury over the earth.
What Spiritualists expect to reap from the Revivals.
FROM a writer in the Spiritual Age of Apr. 10th, we take the following, which shows that Spiritualists are expecting, as the result of the great revival movement, a tremendous reaction in their favor. He says:
"I think the spiritual waters are making a very decided movement, the result of which will be seen with much astonishment ere many months have passed.
"The great so-called revival in the churches everywhere, is but a great step, under spiritual influence, in the direction of that great end. Formerly, churches were particular to receive none within their pale but those who would give conclusive evidence of a radical and unmistakable change; but now that ceases to be a prerequisite. Let the individual only express "a desire to be religious," and they say, "Come in, and we will trust to God for your conversion afterwards." Formerly, none were admitted till they were of age sufficiently mature to at least in some degree appreciate their obligations; now, the merest children are received, and the largest portion of those admitted, so far as I have been able to learn, throughout the West, are between the ages of seven and twelve years, and many have been inducted into church-membership at a yet earlier age.
Now this is a very significant fact. It is a desperate struggle to save a sinking vessel; but in doing so is it not plainly to be seen that they are running directly upon the rocks they desire to avoid? The lack of wisdom they have shown in thus throwing open without restriction the doors of church-fellowship, will necessarily engender a lack of respect for and confidence in the churches themselves. Those who have lightly entered will lightly withdraw; and in one short year, I much question if three per cent will remain. And this is not all. Those who have been members for many years are realizing a feeling of disgust for such proceedings, and many will, under that feeling, disentangle themselves. And what then? The more spiritual minded must look round for a home; and since all churches are nearly in the same position, they will be drawn to examine the claims of Spiritualism upon their confidence; and finding an unexpected and inestimable treasure, they will gladly embrace it.

B. Darling: Is not the name, The Sanctuary, applicable alike to the Sanctuary of both covenants, the old and the new? And when any declaration is made concerning the Sanctuary, which can only be fulfilled in this dispensation, must it not refer to the Sanctuary of this dispensation? We should judge your difficulty arose from taking every expression concerning the Sanctuary, as applicable to the type only and not to the antitype.
