Israel in the wilderness applied its gold to two purposes-The Tabernacle, its furniture and vessels, and the Golden Calf. So now, we serve God-in His way or our way. God permits offerings now for the service of his living tabernacle-the Church, the members of the One Body, the "habitation of God through the Spirit." He receives gifts for that, and that only, not for Himself. He needs nothing.

Oh, that those who are giving money, much or little, to the sustenance of the so-called "cause of Christ" could but see that they are feeding and clothing "that woman Jezebel, who calleth herself a prophetess,"-upholding that which (after the Church of God is gone) will be developed into the "Mother of Harlots and Abominations of the Earth"! Yet how many think they are, in that way, "doing God service"! and applauding to the skies those who give largely! It is casting gold together to form a "Calf," as in Exod. xxxii. "Awake, thou that sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give thee light!" (Eph. v. 14.)

To think that the Lord needs money to help Him to carry on His purposes of grace to man! Monstrous! Is there anything like it in the Word of God? What do we see there?

The Church is nowhere charged with anything
but the poor.

"Only they would that we should remember the poor; the same which I also was forward to do." (Gal. ii. 10.)

"If any man or woman that believeth have widows, let them relieve them, and let not the church be charged, that it may relieve them that are widows indeed." (1 Tim. v. 16.)

-The Lord Jesus has not guaranteed to provide for these. Hence you must resort to Balls, and Bazaars, and Begging with boxes and bags, and contrivances sickening to think of! Simpletons!

"Ye suffer fools gladly, seeing ye yourselves are wise! For ye suffer, if a man bring you into bondage, if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man exalt himself." (2 Cor. xi.) Oh, brethren beloved, let us "hate even the garment spotted by the flesh," as exhorted in the epistle of Jude. And what is all this, but the ways of the carnal mind? If the saints are solicited pressingly, or a box sent round, what is it, but making the saints pay rent to the Lord? Oh, how loathsome it must be in His sight!

ANANIAS AND SAPPHIRA.

How strikingly the case of Ananias and Sapphira contrasts with that of Barnabas! What a solemn commentary upon that passage

"If ye live after the flesh ye shall die."

They had grieved the Holy Spirit of God by walking after the flesh, and Satan, ever watchful, seeking "whom he may devour," had found an entrance into their heart, and filled it with a lie.

"Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost?"

As Satan prevailed in Eden, so did Satan prevail over this man and woman, and so has he prevailed in part ever since,

To think the Lord has need of money! for His tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of 'For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now work! Christ whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things." (Phil. iii. 18-19.)

“Thy money perish with thee!" (Acts viii.) Jezebel needs it-the horse-leech, ever crying "Give, Give!" The Lord has need of nothing!

Satan is a liar and a cheat. How many are his lies! and there are few more insidious than the desirableness of money!-of having means of our own

And He suffers need there, that faith may be to meet our future needs! exercised in them and love in you.

But, says some one, own liabilities!"

"The Church must meet her

Yes, but whoever heard of a woman taking liabilities upon herself that had a husband!

We feel confident, then, that if the Lord, the Head of the Church, sees it needful that a place of meeting should be possessed, He will open the heart of a Barnabas (or two or three), who will perceive His mind, and lay down their property at His feet. Till then, we must use what we have; if nothing more-Rooms in our own houses.

In His own gracious way, whatever is needful, "The Lord will provide!"

"I-I have set before thee an Open Door!" Perhaps you think you could not get on so?

“Let God be true, but every man a liar!" (Rom. iii.) We know you couldn't get on so, with your heavy rents, your gaudy buildings, and your salaried men!

"But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." (1 Tim. vi. 9-10.)

Everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord." "Christ is our life." In proportion as I abide in Him, I live, "yet not I, Christ liveth in me." Now the Spirit teaches us to abide in Him; that is, to live. If I "walk after the Spirit," I shall live. I shall not know Death (that is, Separation, with its secondary effects mentioned above,) but I shall know LIFE-that is, Union, (both with the Head and the One Body,) and the secondary effects-light, joy, health, activity, growth, power. This is Life.

To go on in this life-and show its effects-is to "become a "son of God."

[ocr errors]

"To as many as received him to them gave he power to become the sons of God." (John i.)

If we "walk in the Spirit," we are "sons of God." That is to say, we present our sonship to others and are conscious of it ourselves. The power to do this we received, when we received the Spirit.

It follows that if I "walk after the flesh," I do, for the time being, fall from my sonship-I "die" -I suffer the pangs of separation from fellowship with the Father and the Son; the Spirit being grieved, I lose the joy which He gives; and, (until restored by a groaning confession and the intercession of my High Priest,) I become incapable of fruitful action. This is death.

"If ye live after the flesh ye shall die, but if ye, through the Spirit, do mortify the deeds of the body, ye shall live." The present state of believers is here regarded.

Thus, in measure, all of us who believe in Jesus are always exemplifying Barnabas or Ananias-we are "walking "after the Spirit or after the flesh. If the former, then we live; if the latter, we die. If our sins are not sins unto death, we only feel the shadow of death. But if we yield to Satan completely, there is nothing to look for but complete separation, cutting off, destruction, perdition, all of which mean the same as Death-an end, temporary or final, to the believer's course down here. Mark what is said-An end to the believer's course down here, not hereafter.

If I sin, and am out of fellowship for a day, my course for that day is suspended-"I die." Unless we keep the body under, as Paul did, we are in constant danger. And oh, how dreadful if Satan "devour" us! that is, bring our testimony, as sons of God to an end, as he did in the case of Ananias.

"For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted of the heavenly gift, and were made partakers of the Holy Ghost, and have tasted the good word of God, and the powers of the world to come, if they shall fall away, to renew them again

unto repentance; seeing they crucify to themselves the Son of God afresh, and put him to an open shame. For the earth which drinketh in the rain that cometh oft upon it, and bringeth forth herbs meet for them by whom it is dressed, receiveth blessing from God: but that which beareth thorns and briers is rejected, and is nigh unto cursing; whose end is to be burned."

"For if we sin WILFULLY, after that we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth NO MORE SACRIFICE for sins, but a certain fearful looking for of judgment and fiery indignation, which shall devour the adversaries. He that despised Moses' law died without mercy under two or three witnesses: of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite UNTO THE SPIRIT OF GRACE?" (Heb.)

"AND GREAT FEAR CAME UPON ALL THE CHURCH, AND UPON AS MANY AS HEARD THESE THINGS." (Acts v.)

In the Word we are regarded only as what we ought always to be, practically,. "sons of God."

"Whosoever is born of God doth not commit sin; for His

seed [God's Word] remaineth in him."

"He that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that Wicked One toucheth him not." (1 John.)

But if I sin, "I die," and for the time-long or short the time, I am regarded as "not of God." -as being dead, I am not a "son." Therefore, for

"His

These the Lord has previously called referred to. servants." Therefore, true believers in Christ are tribulation, we are not told; but we apprehend perThe means and the mode of their mission to afflict will be given to Satan, our enemy. As the Prime Mover in all evil, he is yielded to whenever sin is committed, and the Lord is practically despised. In the light of other Scriptures, therefore, we apprehend that he who afflicted Job will be allowed to afflict any of the Lord's people who, at His coming, are found in sin.

"Be not deceived: God is not mocked; whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."

At the Lord's coming, Satan and his host (who have power in the air (Eph. ii. 2), who are the spiritually wicked ones in heavenly places (Eph vi.12), will be, at the Lord's approach, pressed down into the lower regions of the air, immediately over the earth, previous to being cast down to the earth (Rev. xii. 9, 10), and the Church, the Lord's hosts, will be caught up through them. Thus, host will pass through host, and then-conflict! That is, Accusation on one side, and Self-Justification (or Pleading Guilty) on the other. Of course, nothing will be brought through but what is of God. Satan will not let us take into the Lord's presence aught that is "earthly, sensual, devilish." In those who are "blameless at His coming," Satan will find nothing to deal with, lay hold of, on the ground of which to dispute our passage to the skies. All that was not of faith he (and his angels) will seize and bring forward to prove that there is no claim to salvation, and if possible drag such sinning believers down to their own perdition and damnation. Therefore

"Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling." "Make your calling and election sure."

Those in whom "the Accuser of the Brethren will find nothing (or little) will pass undetained into the Lord's presence. Those who are found in adultery with Jezebel will be dealt with at the rear of the mighty host, and pass through that which is intimated in other ominous passages besides this in Rev. ii. First, in reference to one who builds on the foundation (faith in Christ), things which grow up from the old nature-"wood, hay, stubble,

"Saved, yet so as by fire.....the fire shall try every man's work of what sort it is." The day shall declare it. (1 Cor.) And of one guilty of gross evil

"Deliver such an one unto Satan [now] for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved [not from hell, but] in the day of the Lord Jesus." (1 Cor.)

Then, of the works of apostate Christians, it is

said

"Whose end is to be burned." (Heb.)

[ocr errors]

and going on with nothing but what is according to God, the comfortable assurance for us is

66

"God will bruise Satan under your feet shortly." Even those who (passing through the conflict) "suffer loss", will yet come off safe, as regards eternal life, through Him that loved them." Nevertheless, it is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the Living God" for though Satan may afflict, yet-"Shall there be evil in a city, and the Lord hath not done it ?"

At, or soon after this period, mere professing Christendom will be the subject of direful judgment:

"I will kill her [Jezebel's] children with death." Having all come into the Lord's presence-then "All the churches shall know [having just seen or felt] that I am He which searcheth the reins and hearts."

Then is presented to us "the Judgment Seat of Christ."

“And I will give unto every one of you according to your works.” This is also referred to in other Scriptures"For we must all appear before the Judgment Seat of Christ, that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether good or bad."

After judging and rewarding his saints, the Lord returns to the earth, and at His return certain of them receive a special reward—

"And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers even as I received of my Father. And I will give him the Morning Star. He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches."

Here the Lord is seen coming to the earth. When He calls the Church, it is from the earth up into the air. "Then shall we meet the Lord in the air." But after that, the Lord will come down from the air, and we with Him, and while He will subjugate His he mentions above, to fly through the air, all over foes in and around Jerusalem, He will send such as the earth, "to rule the nations with a rod of iron," suppressing every thing contrary to God and

His Christ.

This power the Lord says He has "received" of the Father.

"Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. in pieces like a potter's vessel." (Psalm ii. ) Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them

Thus, for ourselves, we apprehend that Satan will Druise the heel of the Woman's Deed. Wherever sin is found," bruising must follow. Were our sins laid on Jesus? Then must Jehovah "bruise Him, and put Him to grief;" and the "seed of the serpent" were allowed to bruise His heel-his lower, or Having received this power, the Lord will give it human part. Is sin seen upon the One Body, while to whomsoever He pleases. And, let it be rememin the body?—Then, "the heel"-that lower part-bered, these vice-gerents of the Son of God will be must be bruised in each and all, now or hereafter. seen in His likeness, "fashioned like unto His glorious body," that is, like Him "whose eyes are like unto a flame of fire, and His feet like fine brass burning in a furnace."

"But when we are judged [now, down here] we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world." (Cor. xi. 32).

Satan has the power of "bruising" for sin. The Devil had the " power of death," and if we sin we return this power into his hands. Satan was rejoicing over Ananias before he was struck down.

But if we are avoiding connexion with Jezebel,

Not only so but as the dear Lord will be the blessed Morning Star to believing Israel, so will His saints, who will go through the air over the earth, be welcomed as the Morning Star by all among the nations who in that day will have received the Jewish testimony-"the gospel of the kingdom" or

the return of the Messiah. This, we apprehend, is the meaning of the wondrous assurance

"I will give him the Morning Star."

These that overcome now will then be as fire to some and the sweet harbinger of the bright Millennial Day to others.

Wherefore, beloved, seeing that our dear Lord has said such things, let us pray always for each other the prayer of Paul for the Thessalonians

"That our God would count you worthy of this calling, and fulfil all the good pleasure of his goodness, and the work of faith with power: that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ." (2 Thess. i.)

The following letter sorrowfully shows that a certain grievous bitterness is not, alas! confined to this side the Atlantic :

Montreal, Canada, Nov. 25, 1867. Dear Brother in Christ, ...... I do indeed rejoice that our dear Lord has put it into your heart, and given you the grace to testify against the unhappy spirit of "judgment" [dealing judicially, or putting away] which has so grievously wounded many of His own loved ones, and my heart goes up to Him in earnest desire that He may enable you to continue this testimony. I pray also that your readers may not, by resting upon the man, put a hindrance in your way through dishonouring the Holy Spirit, who has been set forth as the guide and teacher of all God's children, in all places, until He comes. Only recently driven out of sect by the harsh censures of those who should follow in love an erring brother, I thought to have found fellowship with "Brethren," but, instead of this, I find myself shut out along with those whom the Lord has used to lead me into the liberty of His children-James Inglis, of New York, and Charles Campbell, of Philadelphia. This has been brought about by the visit to this country of a certain leading brother from England. From place to place where he has been, this evil spirit has followed, and in many, there are now two gatherings standing apart from one another. In this city the larger one is in sympathy with the influential brother alluded to, yet the Lord is graciously present with a few souls who meet to Him only. In other places, some who at first went with him are since exercised as to their course; and one brother

in Ottawa City, who had been led to the extreme point, has seen his error, and applied to us to know what should be the rule of action in regard to those who may be holding error. Taking the Word, we replied from it, as discernment was given us; but as we seem to have still gone beyond that which you deem warranted, I enclose a copy of our letter, asking you to judge it by the Word. We do desire to have an eye single for our Lord, yet the adversary often has success through his action upon the flesh, and also we fail to obey the injunction, "Resist." Oh, with what love and tenderness does the Lord bear with His dear saved ones? Yours in Him, W. H. R. What shall we say to these things? The Lord probe and heal.

[*Copy of letter referred to.]

"Montreal, April 7, 1867. "Dear Ottawa.-Your query as to our relations to believers in the Lord Jesus,' and attitude towards any such who may be in error of judgment, has had the prayerful attention of two or three among us, and I now pen the thoughts given, with the Scriptures on which they are based, and may the Lord give you grace to bear lovingly with the dear brother referred to.

"The first question coming home to us, as lost sinners saved by the precious blood of Jesus, and made heirs with Him of the inheritance, is this

"Who are we to receive and recognise as fellow-heirs with us?

"Unquestionably all who accept the record 1 John v. 9-11, and can testify to the assurance of verse 12, we are bound to receive, and can have sweet fellowship with them in this blessed truth, "Christ the centre"-the bond of union-attracting all who truly know Him.

"Who are we to reject ?"Deniers of the Lord Jesus. 2 John x, and 1 John ii. 23. "Fornicators, covetous, idolaters, &c. 1 Cor. v. 11. [Yes. The Church must put such away till manifestly repentant.-E.]

"Causers of divisions and offences, &c. Rom. xvi. 17. Surely the word "avoid" means "avoidance in private life," upon the principle that "Evil communications corrupt good manners," and also because we are usually regarded as agreeing with the practices and principles of those whose company we choose. But if a brother guilty of schism come into the assembly, he comes, professedly, not to us, but to the Lord; he is in God's Church. There is no sphere for choosing or avoiding. If we are influenced by that "charity which hopeth all things," we should regard his presence as probably indicating repentance. Putting him away would only confirm the schism, instead of healing. E. "Those having the form, &c. 2 Tim. iii. 5. [Here the exhortation is to an individual, showing from whom he, as an individual, should "turn away or avoid. The assembly is not contemplated. If we hastily receive among us such as Paul describes, the Lord may let us bear the burden for profit's sake; but He is the deliverer.-E.]

"Sect-makers. Titus, iii. 10. ["Reject" in this passage is the same as "refuse" in 1 Tim. v. 11, in reference to " younger widows," and considering to whom these directions were given they both have an official bearing. Timothy was to "refuse" from the number of widows and Titus to "reject" from the eldership. See p. 198, vol. i.-E.] "Those who love not the Lord. 1 Cor. xvi. 22. "Preachers of another gospel. Gal. i. 8. ["Anathema Maranatha" seems to mean-"Let him be accursed; our Lord cometh." This curse is pronounced by an Apostle, and has full force wherever deserved. We see no connection with putting away. E.] "Now passing from these distinct and emphatic directions of the Word, which admit of no compromise in regard to our attitude toward the persons indicated, (?) we should clearly be acting without authority, in separating from a brother because accepted as being the truth. Our fellowship with a believer of some (to our mind) serious error which his judgment had is in Christ, and how dare we deny this privilege to any of His saved ones?

which, in our judgment, is error,-we can have no fellowship "Should any brother go beyond, and hold error.—or that with his error, for our fellowship is "in Christ with him." Yet we may not cut him off, except for that which the Word plainly commands. Our duty is simply to testify to him against his error, yet bear with him as a child of God. (Gal. vi. 2; Eph. iv. 2, 3; Col. ii. 13.)

66

'Exercising this spirit in the faithful discharge of our duty to a member of the family having claims upon us which we dare not ignore, it may be our happy privilege to fulfil the office set forth in Jude 23, and come under the blessing recorded in James v. 19, 20.

"Had we the grace to come together before the Lord, and judge these differences in His presence, instead of drawing asunder, and judging them in our own fleshly wisdom, how they would sink into insignificance! Having His mind, we should be made of one mind together in Him. Oh, dear brother, how all this failure around us should increase our longing for 'His appearing" who will put all right, and inake gloriously manifest the perfect unity of His body. Hasten, blessed Jesus, that day. Amen. Dear brother, may He give you all needed wisdom. WM. R. H."

"Yours, in Him,

OUR CORRESPONDENTS AND OURSELVES. Address Letters for the Proprietor, to 335a, Strand, London, W.C.

J. H. M., BROXLEY, writes-'Dear Brother, You seem very anxious to persuade believers to supersede the title "Brethren" by that of Christian." I have looked in vain for anything like a warrant for this in the Word of God. "Brethren" is the blessed title imposed upon us, and constantly applied to us, by the Lord Himself. But the word "Christian" is evidently a stigma of heathen invention. When "the brethren" (John xxi. 23) were persecuted by the heathen it was expressly as "Christians" (1 Pet. iv. 16), the heathen knowing nothing of what the Spirit of God regards as true "Brethrenism," and denominates "Brotherly Love." May the Lord keep us from that carping spirit before which nothing is right.-Your brother amongst many brethren, thank the Lord for it.'

[To this prayer we say, Amen. But if the term "Brethren" has got, in common speaking, to be applied to certain assemblies which practically take a sectarian attitude with regard to all other believers, what is to be done. if we feel called to testify against that sectarian conduct? The writer used of the Lord in the first article in this paper this month would not be received in fellowship-would not be acknowledged as a member of the One Body (!) by many of the assemblies known as "The Brethren," or "Plymouth Brethren"! And why? Because he conscientiously holds the views expressed again and again in this journal, that except for moral evil and the "denial that Christ is come in the flesh," the Church has no power of "putting away." "Power belongeth unto God." He would be treated as an alien from the commonwealth of Israel" because he holds these views on the subject of Assembly-power. Of course, the right thing would be to receive such an one as a "fellow-heir," and then-if thought needful-" admonish him as a brother" in private, rebut with the Word any bad teaching in the assembly. Look at the mischief wrought, as recorded by your fellowcorrespondent, in the previous communication.

or

Such spiritual Mastership by "the Brethren" must be testified against. We are under the necessity, therefore, of pressing dear ones to use a name which ALL use, and which cannot possibly be mistaken for the closest sect of the time. When-in writing or speaking-there is no danger of mistake, we freely use the word "brethren," and love it.

The word "Christian" may be a term of "heathen invention," and to bear it was a cross. Has it become a cross again? Well, may we have grace to take it up, and follow Jesus, and know, and be known by, no other name.]

A. C. DALKEITH.- We know of no tract on the subject. May those forwarded be of use to you.

But you you, while speaking most dogmatically, do not press upon us a single Scripture! What do you say?

"The seven angels were clearly Christ's gifts to His churches "in the way of bishops or overseers, men qualified by the Holy "Ghost to take the oversight of the flock."

Now, dear brother, this is based upon two assumptions:1. Where, in Scripture, is an elder termed "angel"? 2. Where, in Scripture, do we find a single eider-or supposed "angel "-placed by the apostles over a church? They were shepherds, but in no sense angels.

But you persist that we have men-angels now!

"And every proper gathering has such an angel and messenger from Christ, in God's sight, though we may be foolish "enough to disown him."

J. C.

It is to us much too arbitrary. As all the Scriptures are useful to us, so they will be to the remnant in the latter days; some will be specially useful to them, as some are to us.

THE STARS ARE THE ANGELS.

W. C. B.-Dear Brother, What was your object in assuring us (in regard to the Article "The Stars are the Angels) of the disapprobation of some of our readers? Surely, not to make us uneasy or frightened! Well, the "conies," that "simple folk"-reference to whom lately seems to have amused youwhen at all frightened. retreat, we suppose, to their shelters in the rocks. So we retreat to God's Word.

We have lately been obliged to do this very frequently, and to "one who sticketh closer than a brother," for solace under griefs inflicted by some much loved ones who have not received the written testimony of these pages. This we are not surprised at, for written testimony is often unavailing, while spoken testimony we have all found to be more successful.

Those dear ones have pained us because, looking at Scripture from a lower point of view, they cannot help differing from us.
