| IN studying the book called "The Revelation,"-I would suggest that particular attention might well be paid to the various positions which in it the Lord Jesus Christ holds. The portion of the contents of the book which stands connected with any one of His positions,* may fairly be considered |

| Nehemiah 1-4. |
| 4. | Colossians, Some Remarks on |
| The profound character of this epistle consists in its being, in the first chapter, a concentration of the epistles to the Thessalonians, Ephesians, and Philippians, presenting the person of Christ substantially, to faith, in relation to the subjects of all these three epistles. The second chapter is to teach us |
| 5. | Discipline and Unity of the Assembly |
| Two principles seem to be at work at the present moment which it may be well to notice in connection with the title of this publication-the present testimony. We are living in a time when all things are in question, and principles of every kind abroad. If there, are such |
| 6. | Dispersed Among the Gentiles, The |
| IN the books of Ezra and Nehemiah, on which I have already meditated, we saw the captives brought back to Jerusalem, there to await the coming of the Messiah, that it might be known, whether Israel would accept the Messenger and Savior whom God would send to them. In this |

| Chap. 1 |
| 9. | Ezra 1-4 |
| When we enter the Book of Ezra, we begin the story of the returned captives; we see them in their circumstances, and in their behavior; and from both one and the other, we gather instruction. |
| 10. | False Aids Judged |
| WHEN the soul descends to an association below its profession, there is assuredly a secret predilection for the association, one which has been hitherto cloaked to oneself as well as to others, by the profession. Hence the necessity in God's ordering for the predilection to be exposed, and the profession |
| 11. | Genesis 1-3, The Typical Character of |
| THE first chapter of Genesis, with the first three verses of the second, evidently forms a distinct section of the book. It represents creation as the work of God, and the rest consequent upon the work being finished. Nothing else is allowed to mix itself up with this. It is |
| 12. | Hopes of the Coming, The |
| IT is remarkable, that Paul, in his epistles to the assemblies, only twice addresses any of them as " in God the Father, and in the Lord Jesus Christ." Both of these occasions were in his writing to the Thessalonians. He addresses them in the first epistle as " |
| 13. | Judah's Captivity in Babylon |
| THE Babylonish Captivity, considered as an era in the progress of divine dispensations, was most important and significant. We may well treat it as a very principal station in our journey along that path of light and wisdom which is cast up in Scripture for God's wayfaring men to tread, |

| 19. | Revelation, On the |
| THE glory which shows itself to us at the opening of the Gospel by St. John, is both entitled and descibed there very simply. It is called "the. glory as of the Only Begotten of the Father," and borne by one who is described as " full of grace and |
