ter of Exodus we read all the Lord commanded Moses to do,
and that as he fulfilled these commands the glory of the Lord descended
and filled the tabernacle till there was no room for Moses, and from that
time the pillar of cloud overshadowed them, their guide, their protection.
And so we have been building as the Lord Himself commanded, and now the
temple is to be handed over to Him to be possessed and filled. He will so
fill you, if you will let Him that yourself and everything else will be
taken out of the way, the glory of the Lord will fill the temple,
encompassing, lifting up, guiding, keeping; and from this time your moon
shall not withdraw its light, nor your sun go down.

Do you want power? You have God for it. Do you want holiness? You have God
for it; and so of everything. And God is bending down from His throne
to-day to lift you up to your true place in Him. From this time may the
cloud of His glory so surround and fill us that we shall be lost sight of
forever.

"Having begun in the Spirit, are ye now made perfect by the flesh" (Gal.
iii. 3).

Grace literally means that which we do not have to earn. It has two great
senses always; it comes for nothing and it comes when we are helpless; it
doesn't merely help the man that helps himself--that is not the Gospel; the

the meaning of it; we can never know the fulness it has. Now, this river
is as free as it is full, but you know some people have an idea when they
get a little farther on they have got to pay an admission, and reserved
seats are very high, and they shrink back from the higher blessings of the
Gospel; ordinary Christians scarcely dare to claim them. If I understand
the meaning of this, God has not put the higher blessings apart for a
separate class who somehow are nearer to Him. God is no respecter of
persons.

"Cast thy burden on the Lord" (Ps. lv. 22).

Dear friends, sometimes we bring a burden to God, and we have such a
groaning over it, and we seem to think God has a dreadful time, too, but
in reality it does not burden Him at all. God says: It is a light thing
for Me to do this for you. Your load, though heav
