Omaha, Neb., Hoc. 11. I'antor ltussell of Brook lyu Tuberuade vis ited our city yes terday iih the guest of the Interna tional Bible Stu dents Association. He gave two pub lic addresses, which were heard by large and in telligent audiences. We rcKrt his nd- flresH from these words of Scripture: "Anfl Isiino brought Itebecca Into hi mother Humh's t-nt. and nho beeanin bin If a and lie loved her." Genesis xxlv, 67. When we sometimes speak of Abra ham, Isaac und others as types wo I, ho u M not be understood to mean that they were merely types that the Iti ble stories respecting them are no tions. A person or thing Is a typo when, in addition to tho actual expe riences, tho Scriptures lndlcato thnt It prefigures and Illustrates on a small ecalo Bomo person or things yet fu ture. As, for Instance, Adam In cer tain respects, as tho liend of the race, was a type of Messiah, tho Second Adam. The first Adam was the liend of our race, but failed to give (he eternal life deal red. In (!od's providence Messiah Is to be tin' Second Adam, In the hciiso that he will regenerate, lis his chil dren, ull the posterity of tho First Adam. Messiah Is thus declared In prophecy to be tho lOverlasting Fa ther of itinuklnd-tlie Father or life- giver, better than Adam, and who will give to our race everlasting life. In stood of a heritage of weakness, Impel f eft Ion and death. similarly, Moses not only was n real tharacter, tho lender of tho nation of Israel, but, additionally, ho was a typo of a greater Mediator Messiah. As Moses mediated tho Law Covenant for Israel, ao Messiah, tho Prophet lllto unto Moses, or nntltyplcnl of him (Aets 111, "..'ll, is to bo tho Mediator of Israel's New Covenant, under which the Abrahamlc blessings will reach them and through them roach all the families of the earth Uor. xxxl, 31). Similarly, Aaron was a type of tho higher priesthood and lis better sacri fices cotuieeled wlh the New Cove nant. So, also, the tindcr-prlests and the Levi! os, additional to their own experiences, nerved, In Clod's provi dence, as types of the higher Institu tions by whl( h the New Covenant w ill lie Inaugurated shortly. On this occasion we ask your atten tion to Abraham, known In the Scrip tures as the friend of tlod, n tho father of the faithful, and to his son Isaac, the Sou of 1'i'omlso, bom out of the natural order, miraculously, when his mol her was old; also to Isaac's wife, Itebecca, selected by Abraham to be the companion and Joint heir with his son Isaac In his Inheritance. These personages lived their lives wholly unconscious of I lie fact that Ood was using them and overruling their alTairs no as to make of them prophetic pictures of his own groat l'lan of tho Ages. These type pictures are always to be read In full harmony with the Inspired writings of the Bible and never to be understood In contra diction of the same. Abraham a Typa of Cod. Not everything that Abraham did, however, Is to be esteemed typical. In a general way this grand man of the past looms up before our minds as a monument of faith and Integrity und Justice. The blessings promised to go through 1 1 1 in to his Seed, which would constitute him the father of many na tions, made of him, as St. Paul points tint, a type of tho Almighty, from whom (lows every good and every per fect gift -from whom proceeds the Messing which ultimately Is to How through Messiah, his Sou, and through Israel, his people, unto all the families of the earth. All Christians, presumably, are awuro of St. Paul's Interpretation of Abra ham and his family as types. As of c;k1 to bless the world was not to be fultllled through tho lshmael Seed, natural Israel, but through the Isaac Seed -Spiritual Israel. Tha Wall-Spring of Hops For tha Jaws. From the nrst there was manifested a couiN'tltion for the Abrahamlc bless ing. And as lshmael mocked at the In fant Isaac, so the Jew, In his consider able development and strength, mocked at the Antltyplcal Isaac Jesus and his omparatlvely Ignorant and unlearned followers and persecuted them. In or der to continue the type, that Abraham might typify Ood, he was commanded to send forth Ilagar und her son into tho wilderness. That sending forth typified the Divine disfavor which nine upon the Jews eighteen centuries ago and w hich has made them outcast from (Sod's favor, us Ilagar and lsh mael were cut off from Abraham's presence and family and care. Tho bread and water which Ilagar took with her, by which Bhe and lshmael were nourished la the wilderness for a time, pictures and types the promises of Clod through tho Law and the, prophets which still belong to the Jew and upon w hich, for eighteen centuries, be has been nourished, and without which the hopo of tho notion would have perished. Now wo come to tho dire moment pictured In Clenesls xxl, 15 10. Tho water provided by Abraham had been consumed. No more was to bo had. lshmael was dying. Ilagar, his mother, separated herself from him. At the opportune moment tho angel of the Lord appeared to her and pointed her to a spring of water, whoro alio refreshed herself and Ishinael with new life. The antitype of this Is now to lie seen before us. The Jewish people, Tha Brida Class and tha Graat Com pany. Other Scriptures have shown us that there are two classes amongst these saints. A few, peculiarly devoted, will constitute the Itrldo class. Aud a lurger number, not so courageous of the Truth and righteousness, will con Btltute her companions, her servants, as Itebecca travelled accompanied by her servants. These two classes are particularly specified In the Scriptures (loth Psalm), where we read of the Messiah -Itrldo and Queen. In her resurrection glory she Is pictured as tha Queen robed in gold of Ophlr with fino needlework-the glory representing the divine nature which will be grant ed her and the lino needlework repre- Hcnting her glorious righteousness, em bellished with the fruits of the holy Spirit. The Psalmist tells how alio Bhnll be brought into the presence of the great King Jehovah and then adds that tho virgins, or companions, that follow her ahull also be brought Into tho presence of tho King, showing that there will always be a difference of rank on tho Bplrltunl plane. These two classes are again pictured in the Law as Trlests and Leviles, the Itrldo class being represented by the Trlests, ow ing to their willing snoiifleos of tho earthly portion in favor of the heuvenly. We are not to Identify tho Bride class with tho nominal Christian Churches of today any more than wo would iden tlfy tho Apostles with tho Jewish Church of their day. Tho Apostles wero a aolect few, und almlhtrly all tho members of the Church through out tho Age have boou a aolect few out of a nominal many. "The Lord knoweth them that nre his." The true Church has been Delected, not only separated more and morn from tlte froln nU of ti,R tw,.ive tiilx-a of Isrn'l, Law und the Prophets, are becoming weak and faint us respects hope. They are about to die! ltut no, the Lord graciously points out a well-spiing of tho water of life at this rrltlcal mo ment. As lshmael was rescued from death by this water, ho the nation of Israel, whom he typified, Is now about to find In tho providence of Clod that their portion of the Abrahamlc Cove nant Is tho earthly one, not the heav enly one, not tho Hphituol. They are about to be refreshed and to enter upon a new career. That career, how ever, will not mark them as lshmael Ites, nor will their New Covenant re lationship bo Hjinliolled by Ilagar, the Old Law Covenant. Thenceforth they are represented under a new type. Isaao Waa Hair of All. If, at tlrst, our Jewish friends might be Inclined to feel disappointed that they wero represented in lshmael, and not In Isaac, by tho Ilagar Covenant, the Covenant of bondage to the Law, Instead of being formed free from the Law, there Is a consolation. Their consolation Is that Isaac lyplfed the Messiah and that Israel Is pictured as the nation on whose behalf Messiah will mediate the New Law Covenant. The Messiah must be spiritual, In or- dor to ho able to confer the groat blessings Indicated In the Covenant made with Abraham. The nation of Israel never expected to be spiritual and had no audi promise In the Bible. To the Jews will come exactly what they have always been expecting greatness as an earthly people, honor as the elect nation through whom tho New Covenant blessings will be open ed up to all (lie world of manklud-thc (lent Ill's. As already polnlcd out, Isaac1, the sun of Abraham, typified the Messiah of glory, the Son of Cod and heir of all the promise the one through whom alone eternal life may bo ob tained and restitution to that perfec tion which will enable Israel and the world to keep the Plvlne Law perfect ly and merit the gift of Cod, eternal life, according to their New Law Cove nant by and through Its great Media torMessiah. Eleaiar Typa of tho Holy Spirit. In due time, Abraham sent his trust ed servant Flea.ar (typical of the holy Spirit) to select n P.rldo for his aon Isaac. Ftea7.ur might not go anywhere. He was directed to go only to those of Abraham's family, thus Implying that none would bo called to bo the Itrldo LET US SUGGEST a" "ir 7 tbe most popular, practical and most appropriate gift for men or women.

WesctJ:?s 3 THE HOME OF SATISFACTION Sons I HUES BANQUET Abraham typllled Cod, ' so his' wife "f Ml11'1' "'l't ucl. as were already ' I I.. I.t-. A... Mt At I 1.1 lypllled tho Covenant through which the vitality of tho promise ultimately develops the Seed of Promise- Istric In type, and Messiah In tho antitype. St. Paul also explains that Sarah's serv ant, Ilagar, at Surah's wish, became or a time her representative with Abraham and brought forth lshmael, Ilagar, St. Paul explains, typllled tho Ijiw Covenant, vitalized by the gru clous arrangements of tho aaino Clod aud Father. And Ilagar's aon, lit entlly Abraham's firstborn, typllled tho Jewish nation, tho first develop ment under tho Covenant. As Abraham loved Isaac and desired a blessing upon htm, ao God lored Is rael and desired a blessing upon Israel, the offspring of the Law Covenant. Nevertheless, ns lshmael, tho offspring of the bondwoman, was declared not to be tho primary heir of tho Abra hamlc promise, but a secondary one, ho tho children of Israel, tho offspring of the Law Covenant, wero not Intend ed to be the Spiritual Messiah through whom the promise declared that tha blessing should first proceed. In the typo, we boo that Sarah, Abra ham's wife, who represented the orlgi tinl AbmVaintc Covenant, brought forth In relationship to (iod through faith. obedience and Justification. When tho aervimt had found Itebecca he put upon her certain Jewels, explained to her und her relatives the nature of his mission, and asked her If alio were willing to mine and be Isaac's Itrldo. He said, My master, Abraham, Is very rich and all that he hath he hath given unto Isaac. Thus the great riches of Cod are again illustrated in Abraham and tho but from every other nation, people and tongue, even ao many as tho Lord our God has called. Kebecco's leaving her father's house typified the personal consecration of each one who, led of the Spirit, ac copts tho Ilvlno Invitation to Joint heirship with Christ. The firat Jew elry given to Itebecca, when first she heeded tho Invitation and invited the servant to her home, represents the earliest blessing received by believers, Tho Jewelry she received after she hud decided to go to Isaac and become his wife represents the blessings of tho Holy Spirit which come upon the fully consecrated, those who determine to walk lu the footsteps of Jesus hf the narrow way Into tho Kingdom, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Arrived at the end of her Journey alio found herself In tho presence of Isaac, and immediately alighted from her camel and covered herself with a veil. Thus, pletoiially. Is represented tho fact that tho Church, when having experienced tho change of the First Hesurrccllon and in tho presence of tho heaven v Ilr degrooin. will no i l longer need the guidance of the holy Spirit, through the Scriptures. This part of the picture, of course, Is yet future. Tho Scriptures, however, In dlciile, and outward conditions cor roborate tho fact, that the time of this glorious change Is nigh at hand. To Da tha Mother of Thousands of Millions. Isaac Immediately received Itebecca and took her Into his mother's tent. Sarah had died and Ueheccu became I her successor. Thus Is beautifully pictured the fact that when tho Itiide of Messiah shall be complete on the plane of glory, the Sarah Covenant will be at an end and her place, as a channel of blessing, will be taken by tho glorified Church. Then will bo fulfilled the prophetic blessing of her relatives, "Ho thou tho mother of thousands of millions." Those thou sands of millions represent the world of mankind, which will be regenerat ed, or granted new life by the great Messiah during the thousand yours of his reign us tho Mediator of the New Covenant. Messiah will be the regenerator and his l'.iide will be tho nourlsher, In structor, helper of ull mankind under tho New Covenant, becunso It will he this antltyplcal Isaac und his l'.iide that will mediate for Israel, and through Israel for tho world, the New Covenant of Prostitution blessings (Acts III, 19-21). "In thee and In thy Seed blmll all tho families of the earth be hl.msed," applies primarily, as St. Paul shows, to Messiah and his Church In glory tho sacrifices being past, tho spirit mil nature being attain ed as a reword for the sacrifices (Gala tlans III, Id, Whoever will first receive Messiah and come into harmony with the righteous laws of his Invisible King In Accordance With the Terms of the Two Opposing Fac tions in Contest. Some ten weeks or so ago the members of .Mrs. L. W. Gade's Sun day school class of the rresbyterian church decided to. enter into a con tost for the purpose of enlarging the class. Tho class was divided into Uo aides, known as the Red and line. Each new member, visitor, or the largest number in attendance, each, making a point. Each side en tered Into the contest with much in terest and enthusiasm. It was fur ther determined to close the contest the first Sunday of December and fur ther decided that the losing side would banquet the winners, the ban quet to he held the first Friday night alter the close of the contest, at such place as the losers might choose. It was, also agreed that Just the mem bers of the class should be Invited to attend the banquet, all visitors being excluded. This accounts for one of the happiest Sunday school class af fairs ever held In this city and con risled of a banquet held in the cluh room of the Presbyterian church last evening at 7:30. For the occasion, two long tables had been arranged in "T" shape In the club room, the table being very prettily, yet s!mply, at ranged and decorated with crystal candlesticks, candelabra and hand some ('.ollies. Every effort had been put forth to make the aft'.ur one which vould live forever In tho mem ories of those participating In It. Covers were laid for thirty-three. It Is needless to say aught of the ban quet Itself, other than that it was quite an elaborate affair and simply swell. In addition to the superb quality of the baniuet, tho service was thoioughly up to the standard. It being In the hands of the sisters and friends cf the members of the Red oidc, who devoted themselves to mak ing the dinner pass without a flaw, and they acquitted themselves grand ly. Thcfo serving were Mlssea Edith Wandorholm, Margaret Wohlfarth, Emma Cummins, Pearl Moore and Helen Hunter. Following the dinner an im piomptu program of toasts w.-u had, a mimter on both the Red and Blue a'ries tcng called upon for brief toasts i ml responding In a most hap py vein. Rev. L. W. Gado acted as toastmnster an I ho Introduce 1 each ot the speakers in his own pleasing and volished manner. The toast re sponded to were ai follows: ' Our Class"Miss Raugh. ' The Joy of Conquest" liiss Clara Wcyrh h. "The Sunday After, As Viewed From the Reds' Standpoint" Miss Clara Wohlfarth. "Our Leader" Miss Crete firiggs. "Tho Sunday After, As Viewei From the Blues" Standpoint" Miss Helen Chapman. "The Burial of the Red and Blue" Miss Frances Weldman. One of the best features of the affair was the feeling of good fellow ship which the occasion aroused, and the event throughout was ascribed the most enjoyable of Its kind ever given here. The members of the Red side are very much Indebted to Mrs. W. H. Newell, Mrs. E. D. Cummins and Mrs. Gade for their untiring efforts in making the event a success and for their most kindly assistance through out the entire evening. The members of the class In attend ance were Misses Lillian Terhune, Madeline Miner, Fannie Will, Nettie and Jessie Moore, Crete Brlggs, Miss Baugh, Alma Larson, Clara Wohl farth, Miss Julyan, Bernese Newell, Frances Weldman, Clara Hunter, Gertrude Morgan, Edna Shopp, Mil dred Johnson, Angle McCarroll, Mario Robertson, Ruth Johnson, Helen Swarthout, Elsa Thlerolf, Ruth and Helen Chapman, Clara Weyrlch; Mr. and Mrs. Gade.
