ase examine this subject: TYPE. Now turn to Lev. xxiii: 10, 11; when you reap the harvest (in the spring,) then ye shall bring a sheaf of the first fruits, and the Priest shall wave it before the Lord--on the morrow after the Sabbath, (as in 3d v.). And ye shall count from the day after the Sabbath, (the some 7th day Sabbath in 3d v.) the day after ye offer the wave sheaf, 7 Sabbaths shall be complete; that is, counting the next day after the 7 Sabbaths, which will make 50 days, 16, 17 vs.; then with the sacrifices they are to offer two wave leaves, the bread made from the harvested grain; see 17-20. Now turn to Exo. xxxiv: 21, 22: here we see God required the people to keep the 7th day Sabbath, i. e. to rest in caring time, and harvest, but they were to observe the first fruits in their place, Deut. xvi: 9, shows where; begin to count the 50 days from the time thou beginnest to put the sickle to the corn. Now send the reapers forth the next morning after the Sabbath, what day is that? why, it is Sunday in the morning; so we see in the anti-type the morning of the resurrection instead of being a holy day (and as the world will have it the Sabbath) it was the day for the laborers to go out into the fields to reap the spring harvest. How could that be a holy day. HYMN.--Tune--_Zion._ By H. S. GURNEY. Lo, an Angel _loud_ proclaiming, With the gospel of good news; To every kindred, tongue and people; Fear the Lord, give glory due; Proclamation, Of the hour of judgment near. Lo, another Angel follows, With another solemn cry! Babylon the _great_ is fallen, Peals like thunder through the sky: Let "Thy People," Now forsake her POIS'NOUS CREEDS. Yet, a third and solemn message, Now proclaims a _final doom_; All who "worship _Beast_ or _Image_;" Soon shall drink the wrath of God: Without mixture, Mercy, _now_ no longer pleads. Here are they, who now are waiting, And have patience to endure; While the DRAGON'S _hosts_ are raging, _Those_ confide in God secure: Faith of Jesus; And COMMANDMENTS, _keep_ them pure. Hear a voice from heav'n proclaiming, "Write" the message, "firm decree": Bless'd are they, who die in Jesus, "From _henceforth_" forever be: The _Spirit_ sanctions, And the Saints ADORE HIS LAW.
