The day of Pentecost foreshowed the universality of some language.
Pentecost was a type, and the English is the antitype. The strangers
from Phrygia, Pamphylia, Libya, Pontus, and Cappadocia, mingled with the
Parthians, Medes, Elamites, Cretes, and Arabians. They all heard the
Gospel in their own tongue. The different tongues make a wall of
division, making them strangers one with another; but the Holy Ghost took
away this wall, and they were all face to face, able to understand one
another. The same power that here multiplied the gift of tongues--giving
to some several--surely could give to Adam one. Away with a faith that
cannot give God credit with being the Author of language.

No sooner do we see England in guardian possession of Syria than the idea
enters into the scheme of reform of extending the English language. The
Board of Directors of the Syrian Protestant College at Beyrout have shown
their appreciation of the new era of British influence by a recent vote,
which is to the effect that on January 1, 1879, all instruction in the
college shall be through the English language. The Arabic will only be
taught as any other dead language. This remarkable action shows that
British influence in Syria is hereafter to be more than simply
diplomatic; it is to be an all-pervading and controlling power, affecting
every interest of Society. Truly another Pentecostal day is drawing
nigh--a day when all the world shall hear the Gospel in the language of
Israel. In all these things we see the lively tokens and pre-millennial
agencies hastening on the day of the Lord.

"Now, if the fall of them be the riches of the world, and the
diminishing of them the riches of the Gentiles, how much more their
fulness."--Rom. ii. 12.

Paul, the author of this epistle to the Romans, tells us that he was an
Israelite of the seed of Abraham and of the Tribe of Benjamin. The fact
so conveyed it is necessary that we keep in mind, if we would interpret
aright this epistle. He introduces to our notice three parties: the
Jews, who incl
