of ontario reminds local farmers of their own good fortune tliis season the farming- community about stouffville has been remarkably tree from fires this harvest and threshing season which is now well advanced in fact there has not been a single disaster duo to a machine setting the barn on fire and may we hope the good record will continue un til the last sheaf has gone through the machine however such good fortune has not been recorded in every district in ontario we note that a farm near elmira in the waterloo district there was a bad fire last week when three hundred pigs were burned to death and near ly 12 tons of pig feed and 1500 bush els of grain destroyed late thurs day when fire levelled the barn o elmer cressman northwest of el mira the loss covered by insurance is estimated at 12000 threshing operations were in progress and with only five or six loads of grain still to be threshed abs bowman a neighboring farm er noticed fire in ths back et the machine mr bowman was unload ing grain into the machine at the time he gave the alarm and backed his team out of the barn the men attempted to pull the flaming thresher out of the barn on the belt attached to the tractor how ever the tractor which had been bolstered up with planks blocked the way when the belt slipped it prevented the men from getting the machine all the way out by this time both the barn and thresher wore ablaze within five minutes the whole structure was aflame when the workers found it impossible to save the threshing machine they rushed to the stables in an attempt to save 400 pigs which were penned there the fire had gained such headway however that only 100 were freed many of the trapped porkers were almost ready for market the pig feed which went up in flames had been purchased recently by imr cressman the grain had just been threshed a large gas drum near the barn exploded spreading the blaze still farther the dry grass proved tin der to the flames which followed a path of dead grass about b0 rods east of the building into the hush more damage was averted by the men rushing into the path of the flames and shovelling a ditch as a fire break grass fires also spread to wards the house west of the barn but they wore extinguished by neighboring farmers the barn was levelled in a halfhour the tractor was saved both were owned by mr cressmans father josiah cressman sunday school lesson lesson for august 21 golden text and being made per fect he became the author of eter nal salvation unto all them that obey him heb 59 the writer of hebrews explains the new covenant the lesson as a whole the epistle to the hebrews con trasts the types of the old testa ment with the realities of the new it was addressed primarily to he brew christians in order to wean them away from the temple services which were soon to come to an end in the predicted destruction of jerusalem christianity must now no longer be looked at in the light of a new jewish sect the line of de- markation between judaism and the church must be plainly drawn and so these believers were called upon to go outside the camp the old testament system to christ himself chap 1313 it is well to read the epistle through at a sitting notic ing as you do so some of the key words these are better perfect and eternal the better things of the new covenant stands out in vivid contrast to the lesser things of the old chap 72 the perfect rev elation given in the gospel is con trasted with the imperfect and shad owy types of the old chap s9 the eternal things now made known are set over against the transitory provisions of the mosaic economy chap 915 christ is the one grand theme of the entire letter in chapter 1 he is presented as the eternal son who is better than all angels in chapter 2 he is viewed as the second man who transcends the first man and brings deliverance to a world ruined by the fall in chap- tor 3 he is set forth as superior to moses the mediator of old and to aaron the levitical high priest in chapter 4 he is seen as accomplish ing what joshua could not do giving abiding rest in chapters 5 to 7 he is the true melchizedek a kingly priest in chapter 8 he is the medi ator of the new covenant in chap ters 9 and 10 he is the fulfillment of all the types of the law both as priest and offering in chapter 11 he is the supreme object of faith in chapter 12 he is the center of the new sphere of blossirfg and in chap ter 13 ho is the great shepherd of the sheep who as the risen one is the object of his peoples hearts the heart of the lesson the old covenant is that of law it asked of man what he in his unre- generated condition could not give a perfect obedience to and love for a holy sinhating god the new cov enant is that of grace it proclaims gods remedy for mans wretched condition and offers life not as a re sult of what man may do for god but because of what god in christ has done for man the law said in effect do and live grace saysllve and do under the now testament god offers forgiveness on the basis of the blood of the covenant that blood which was shed on calvary to all who trust in christ to each be liever is given a now nature the law is written upon the heart as a result it becomes a joy and delight to the renewed soul to walk in obedience to god and so the righteousness of the law is fulfilled in rus who walk not after the flesh but after the spirit uom s4 verse by verse heb 911 christ an high priest of good things to come the levitical priesthood was of a typical character and served its purpose for the time appointed by god chris has now superseded all this he ij the high priest of the new dispensa tion set over the house of god i greater and more perfect faber nacle which is the church of thi present age chap 36 eph 222 redemption the blood of goats and calves offered in the formei dispensation could never put awaj sin they typified the one allsum cient sacrifice which the lord jesus made on the cross in virtue of th blood there shed he has entered as our high priest into the holiest and sprinkled the mercy seat above indicating that eternal redemptior has now been effected verse 13 the ashes of an heif er sprinkling the unclean the reference is to the ordinance of th red heifer and the water of separa tion of which we read in number 19 verse 14 christ who througl the eternal spirit offered himsel without spot to god he who wai himself the sinless one gave him self a ransom for sin on the cross he met every righteous demand o the throne god against sinners and now his blood avails to purg the consciences of all who put thei trust in him verse 15 the redemption of th transgressions that were under thi first testament the reference is t the sins of old testament saints go pretermitted passed over thes sins but they were not yet actually expiated now christ as the imedi ator of the new covenant ha settled in full as we are also told ii romans 325 where sins that an past refers to sins committed ii the former age ere christ died nov all may como to god through chris and find in him an eternal salvation verse 16 the death of the test ator the words for covenant an testament or will are the same ii greek the writer passes from thi thought of a covenant to a testa irient which only goes into forci after the death of him who make it our lord is the testator willinj untold riches of grace to all believer verse 17 it is of no strengtl at all while the testator liveth si there could be no salvation for sin ifiil men through the perfect life o christ he purchased our redemp tion by his dying in our place upoi the cross verse 18 neither the first tha is the sinaitic covenant wa dedicated without blood ther were certain victims slain before tha testament went into effect verse 19 moses took th blood of calves and of goats am sprinkled both the book and all th people in this solemn way go chose to impress upon the people th terms of the legal covenant whicl promised life to all who obeyed per fectly but doomed to death thos who failed deut 301520 verse 20 this is the blood the testament this blood bot warned of death and pointed on t the atonement of christ whereb redemption was to be effected verse 21 sprinkled with blood everything in connection with th sanctuary in the wilderness wa consecrated by blood god thus show ed that the law was a minlstra tion of death but that the preciou blood of christ alone could dollve from its condomnation verse 22 without shedding 0 blood is no remission this is a unequivocal statement given by th volte of inspiration remission o sins is one of the blessings of th now testament sealed by the deal of chrst this he declared when h gave the communion cup to his dls ciplcs saying this is my blood o the new testament which is shed fo many for the remission of sins matt 262s send the tribune to absent friend
