pirit; then the blood in which is the life; then blood as the voice which utters mighty truths and testimonies; then 'the voice of accusing blood from the ground,' beginning with the blood of Abel; the 'voice of typical blood from the altar' comprehending the Jewish sacrifices; 'the voice of atoning blood from the cross;' 'the voice of martyr-blood from the church;' of 'sacramental blood from the Christian altar;' of 'pleading blood from the mercy-seat;' of 'witnessing blood from the judgment throne;' of 'avenging blood from hell;' and, finally, of 'glorifying blood in heaven.'
