ness; let us enter into _His_
separateness from the world; that will be our holiness. Unite
thyself to God. Then art thou separate and holy. God separates for
Himself, not by an act from without, but as His Will and Presence
take possession of us.

HOLY IN CHRIST.

The Holy One of Israel.

'I am the Lord that brought you up out of the land of Egypt, to be
_your God_; ye shall therefore _be holy_, for _I am holy_. I the
Lord which _make you holy, am holy_.'--Lev. xi. 45, xxi. 8.

'I am the Lord Thy God, _the Holy One of Israel_, Thy Saviour.
Thus saith the Lord, your Redeemer, _the Holy One of Israel_: I am
the Lord, _your Holy One_, the Creator of Israel, your
King.'--Isa. xliii. 3, 14, 15.

In the book of Exodus we found God making provision for the Holiness of
His people. In the holy times and holy places, holy persons, holy
things, and holy services, He had taught His people that everything
around Him, that all that would come near Him, must be holy. He would
only dwell in the midst of holiness; His people must be a holy people.
But there is no direct mention of God Himself as holy. In the book of
Leviticus we are led on a step further. Here first we have God speaking
of His own holiness, and making it the plea for the holiness of His
people, as well as its pledge and power. Without this the revelation of
holiness were incomplete, and the call to holiness powerless. True
holiness will come to us as we learn that God Himself alone is holy. It
is He alone makes holy; it is as we come to Himself, and in obedience
and love are linked to Himself, that His Holiness can rest on us.[4]

From the books of Moses onwards we shall find that the name of God as
holy is found but seldom in the inspired writings, until we come to
Isaiah, the evangelist prophet. There it occurs twenty-six times, and
has its true meaning opened up in the way in which it is linked with the
name of Saviour and Redeemer. The sentiments of joy and trust and
praise, with which a redeemed people would look upon their Deliverer,
are all mentioned in connection with the name of the Holy One. 'Cry
aloud and shout, thou inhabitant of Zion, for great is _the Holy One of
Israel_ in the midst of thee.' 'The poor among men shall rejoice in _the
Holy One of Israel_.' 'Thou shalt rejoice in the Lord, and shalt glory
in _the Holy One of Israel_.' In Paradise we saw that God the
