Here we close our meditations upon this marvelous section of the volume of God;[24] and in doing so, we are impressed with a profound sense of the depth and richness of the mine to which we have sought to conduct the reader, and also of the excessive feebleness and poverty of the suggestions which we have been enabled to offer. However, our confidence is in the living God, that He will, by His Holy Spirit, lead the heart and mind of the Christian reader into the enjoyment of His own precious truth, and thus fit him, more and more, for His service in these last evil days, that the name of our Lord Jesus Christ may be magnified, and His truth maintained in living power. May God, in His abounding mercy, grant this, for Jesus Christ’s sake. _C. H. M._ [Illustration] FOOTNOTES [1] Now six.

In a word, we believe that every thing that the Church can possibly need, for time or eternity, is comprehended in that one glorious name—The Lord Jesus Christ.

This little volume can be had of the publishers, Loizeaux Brothers. [5] For further suggestions on the subjects touched upon in the foregoing section, the reader is referred to “Notes on Exodus,” chapters xxiv.-xxx.; also to a small pamphlet entitled, “The History of the Tribe of Levi Considered.”
