Business was again taken up-with renewed vigor. The committee on Resolutions-was called fpr,and made OW following report : .WHEREAS, The neglect of farmers here- I toforc to Organize with a view to a com mon unerstanding and 'united action Ms had the practical effect toldeny them as a class all participation in the law, making bodies of the states and of the .general government ; therefore, be it Ilkofred, That we Will not in the fu ture;bear true allegiance td any party or ganization that ignores our class, and we tirgo . ineh an alliance of the farmers, me cliatiles, and laboring men as will assure proportionate representation in all our law making bodies, to the end that each maY defend their interests if unfairly dis tinguished against in any proposed legis lature..

Tho above resolutions wore taken up and debated upon, and received a warm ' and hearty approval, and were unani mously accepted. -The meetitig`adjourn ed at 10:30 to meet in the morning at it. o'clock. At the appointed time, notwithstanding the rain- and high winds 7. that prevented our faithful members crossing the river from Asylum, we had a good turnout ; you could then teU who were the true . and tried. Resolied, That we are opposed to the pass'age of any law taking from the school directors of our bounty tho right to fix the salary of our county sphool Superin tendent. R.6otre:l, That ' in the opinion Of the farmers and wool - growers Or Bradford county the tariff laws of .The United . States ought to prohibit the' importation of European shoddy to take the place of our American wool. Rert'olred, That the executive committee . of the Pennsylvania State Grange are re spectfully requested to institute some method by which the united action of our order can be secured in the future by cor responden ceor other wise. . ReAotred, That we demand a passage of alaw that will punish the counterfeiter of American butter in the same manner and as - effectually as do s the laws punish the counterfeiter of our coin :or the banker's money. WHEREAS, The universal shrinkage in value of property of. every description, and the lessened profits; in every branch ' of business, arul the inevitable reduction in wages of labor, imperatively demands a corresponding reduction in the salaries and- fees paid to all officers—;stational; State and County.

Bnoww, of New York, who expended six years of close lkhor in its design and execution. It has- tiow been engraved on steel by the Bank Note En gravers in the country at an expense of over $15,900. -- It is pimionired by the most prominent mer6ifi New York and Boston to be ono of the finest engravings of this century. The words of the pri.yer are ingeniously wrought - into ornamental designs, delicate, suggestive, character istic of the thought' expiessed,—and• fin ished with exquisite gram. The face or Our Lord occupies a central portion, while the twelve Apoitles forna the border. The work contains 115 bends, large end small, all of Whlcti, including the letterhig and border are executed in-pure line engrav ing. The size is 23x29 .inches, and we can commend it as one of the most beau tiful pictures for the ltornes of our people, —taken as it is from the Bible, and illus trated by the most noted minters the world has ever produced.- The Saviour and his Apostlei are taken from DE VlN et's La.st supper, while fiSe of the group° are from RAPHAEL'S most noted designs.

'TEW- S R )1\ sit T.-4 propose to give a series of rief expositions upon the Divinity of ChricA And here it is essential to de fi ne the mea - ing of the term "divinity." ~ In theologi ! \ cal language it means the mime as "deity." When we say that Christ is divine, we mean that be Is himself God. Only among . a certain class of.:theologians does the term import mere superhuman excellency —the highest creaturehood. Thiis is a mere poetic use, and' unworthy of .those who deal not inn-poetic figures, but in .the 'etas. net verities of God's word. . The proposition that I shall endeavor to establish, with the help of the Word add Spirit of 'Christ Is, that. Jesus Christ is Light of Lights and very God of very God-rhii• same in substance, equal - in power and glory with the Father. And, - not to,weary you and in order to leave a distinct impression .upon your minds, I - will present a single argument each evening.,Thus advancing step .by step, slowly but rarely, I. think .-that .we shall find our faith in thisLgreat charac teristic doctrine of the Christian Church strengthened and confirmed.•-, • , I. The first argument -is, that Christ is called God in the Scripture. Turn to Ps. 45 :6-7. Hebs. 1 : 8-9. In the 43 Ps ;13th v., the `subject of it is. ad dressed as God. " Thy throne, 0 God, * forever and ever:;" while in the 7th he is said to be inferior to. God, "Therefore God, thy God.'r Sceptical writers propose: to translate v. 6, " God *thy throne for ever and.ever ;" an inadmissible transla tion as the best acholars agree. And .v 7 will bear the translation, as the marginal correction shows. "Therefore God, 0 God." ' But we are not concerned here with questions of iranslation.'l he Epis tle to the Hebrews ' gives "the 'Spirit's en dorsement of our present translation • (1 : 8-9). This settles the question for those who believe in the inspiration of Scripture. So here Christ is called 'God. For in Helm 1:8, we rind that the Sun (shown to Lie Christ by - vs 2-3) is the subject of the -45 Ps. " 8.:,t Unto the Son ho said], Thy throne, Cr God, is. forever and ever." But, now explain the seeming contradic tio':. involved in - addressing Christ as both God and inferior to God? By thedoctrine of two natures—one divine, the other lit man—in his one divine person. He is God as to his divine patiire, in which centres his one personality. Ile is man as to his human mature, which subsists in the di-, vine person ; and hence, inferior to the Father. As• Eternal God he is equal with the Father ; as . Mediator—God and Man —hp came to do.Fathor's will ; he lived and died a•S;a, servant. (See for the same antithesis, Ps 110: 1 ; Matt 22: 4241.) Isaiah 9:1;6., Matt 4:12-16. Isa .9, isl closely connected with the preceding_chap:- ter. T 1 ere Israel is represented as in. a hopeless perplexity and absolute despair, (8:21-22) Chap. 9 begins, according to Dr. Alexander's translation; (The dor:mess shall bedispelled ): "for there shall not be:darkness forever to her who is no* dis tressed. As the former time depaded the land of Zebulon and the land of Naph tali, so the latter glorifies the way of the sea, (if e., of Galilee), the bank of the Jordan, Galileo of the Gentiles." ' That is,, asrlilee was the most darkened and I degrrh ed part f the Holy Land, so it should be mos glori fi ed and blest with 1 the lighte to co . ila . . In verse 2th prophet assumes a stand point in future, and sees the darkness dis= pelted by the reat light. Verse' 3 des cribes the eon:A:vent joy of the nation of Israel. Verse-4 assigns as the reason for this great joy,. that this light implies and secures deliverance from all enemies.— Verse 5 describes the destruction of all the machinery of war, and hence the end of war itself. (1)r. Alexander translates " For all the armor of the- armed man in the tumult (of battle), and the garment rolled in blood, shall be for burning and' for food of lire.") And verso 6 cads the -suction by bringing into view' the Ipyou who was to effect this great deliver nee. He is a child born for us, a Sun giv, a unto / lus ; hence a true man. But not a mere man ; for his name shall be cal .d Wim 'derful, Counsellor, the Mighty/God, the • everlasting Father, the. Prin .e. of 'Peace. Now who is he P We fin - the answer. in Matt 4:12-16. Jesus ap )eared in Gali lee ; his ministry really be•goa there.- Ile made his home-in Capelnaumv, _right be side the way of the. gait .of Tiberias and the bank of the Jordan. The greater part 1 of his labor was expended in the land of .1 Zebulon an Napit,:ali.• And this was done, St. IMatihtv says, - that it might be fulfilled which /Was spoken by Isaiah the prophet in Alta very passage 'before us. So then, if Gn,i's word be true, Jesus is the -child bdrn for us, the Son given unto us. ; Ile bAbe.,uliglity God,- the everlast ing Father, and the Prince of Peace: Isaiah 40:3. Matt 3:3. Isaiah hears the, voice/of a herald in the wilderness, " Pre pay ye the way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our , 1,4ia1. ' NoW who was the herald, and - ' whom . did ho proclaim. St. Matthew shows that the herald was John the Bap tist, and quotes Isaiah as referring to hitn. So, if John was the herald, it 'follows that Jesus was the Lord and God, whose ad-, vent he proclaimed. • Isaiah r4:5. Four names or titles are applied tt the subject of this verso. Npw it can be hown that three of these are personal tiqes of ifie Son of God (or Word of God) who became flesh and appeared among man as JeSus Christ. (.John 1:14.) He is the Maker of all men and of all things. John 1:3. lie is the Lord of • Hosts. Isaiah-6th chapter, - compared with John 1:18. Rev. 19:16. Ho, is the Re deemer of all .his people. Acts 4:12. , Hence it follows that the fourth name must be-referred to him also . : " The,Gisl of the whole earth," or the SupreMe God. Zachariah 14:5. 'The reference in this chapter is to the second part, ,of • the sec ond coming of the Lord. 'Verse, 1. (For the first part, 1 These. '4:16-11.,' For the second part, see Matt. 25i31-46 (compar ing especially verse 31 withtrerses 40 and 45,) and Jude 14:15: His feet shall stand upon the Mount of Olives, verse 4. Now that his Christ who is :thus to come ia plain Clem Acts 1:10-11. Hence the last clause of verso I') must refer to him. "And the Lord my God shall come, and all the*Saints with thee ;" or as it is agre .al, it should be " With him." Matt. 1:2223. This passage refers us back to Isaiah '7:14. He predicts the mi raculous conception and birth of a child, who should be called Immanuel. Now, StMatthecirsays, this prophecy was fulfill ed id Jesus. - Hence he is Immamiel, i. e. God with us. ~ , • John 1:1. Here we are told that at the beginning of-the creation the,Word was, (implyingan enduring and unlimited state of being in contrast with "were made" of verse 3, and " was made" of verse 14), that the Word was with God (implying conjunction, communion,' familiarity, so ciety), and that the Word was God. Now who-is meant by the word (in Greek Lo gos)? Verse 14 gives an unequivocal-an- Myer. The herd is Jesus 1/!c Christ. So he- is. God, although at thesame timewith God ; pointing to a distinction between , him and the Father. Ttiey are separate persons, though the same in , •Vssence and' equal in.power and glory. Jam 10:33. When Jew said, "I arid my,Father are one (verse 30), the JeWs understood him to make himself God, and were abotit to stone him for blasphemy. Now had. Jesus not Meant this, he surely would-hare been swift to correct the .mis understanding, But on the other hand, the went on to justify this claim in the face of death. Verse 36. John 20:28. Theseaire,the words of be lieving Thomas after be had seen itnd ex amined the ripen SaViour.l , They. are the pan, age of a sceptical nature, slow to be lieve and therefore not too cre dulous. He recognized the risen Jesus, and before the -miracle of thb resurrection cried : "My Lord and my God."' Rornans 1:4. . This-ex pression of faith in his divinity Christ commended. Verse.p. Rdmans 9:5. There is no mistaking 'St. Paul, meaning here. As to his human nature, Christ. was of the father of fathers —a teal man and Jew ;but concerning his nature not human, he is the SitpromeGod: Titus 1:3. .According to the command- ment of God our Savionr,Lmeans in con formity to the Greek idiom, "God who is our Saviour,"-or, literally, "according to the commandment of our Saviour God." Titus 2:13. This means, "Looking for that blessed hope.,and the , manifestation in glory of the great God who is our Se, viour, Jeans Christ." -There =not be . Iwo persorUi spoken of here, beanie ,the appearance of God the Father is - never spoken of uy New Testament writers. It ts always the appearing of the-Lord Jesus Meat.. So while true man -he must also be taw God, even the great God. I will not dwell uptm the familiar pas sage, I.Tira 8:16, because some doubt is thrown over the meaning by the correc tion made by all the latercritical editions of the New. 'Testament: They all agree in reading, not "God was manifest in the flesh," "Int who was manifested in the flesh." Still I "maintain .that the meaning is the same; for the only intelli gible antecedent of "who," is "the living God" of verse 15. It was he who was manifested in the flesh. • Now, Brethren, I think that I have ved the point with which I set out— th t Christ is called God in Scripture. Tin = tinth is the" rock against which Chris tian nbelief does - especially vent itself. Destroy \ it, and you , destroy Christianity. All our kr and interests are bound up in the Di Christ.
