THE SEPARATION.

It is impossible to avoid the fact that the separation -will be visible. As the advent of the king is visible, so the sons of God will be manifested, and the mere professors will be as manifestly rejected. It is written that Christ "will stand upon Mount Olivet/' And in Jerusalem His glory will appear. It it written that the gathering of the nations will be at Jerusalem, and it at Jerusalem that the great decision will be made. But of this I would speak with humility; all I would urge is, the manifested separation between the elect and the called by the Lord Himself in a distinct locality, when the as yet unseen reality of true faith will be revealed, and the as yet undetected hypocrisy of the formalist will be exposed. And if is possiblo to conceive of the state of Egypt, when it was eveloped in a darkness which might be felt, while the land ofj Goshen was full of light, we may form some ideal and but a faint one of that awful moment when all the particles of light scattered as they now are throughout the world, reflecting their influence' according to their size and powei on surrounding j objects, shall be gathered up in one centre, and when all beyond the limits of that orb or circle of glorious light will be emphatically "outer darkness," —the darkness of disappointment and despair. Oh! Ixow great the blessedness of the mellennial Church, for "the Lord God doth lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof." This is

the brightness of his coming who will consume the wicked one. And what must be tlie blackness of darkness in that confederacy, from which every remnant of piety truth, and holiness is for ever removed!— Rev. W. B. Freemantle, M.A.
