CONTEXT Befoie beginning the. study
tt our lesson one should read with more
than ordinary care the last fifteen chap
ters of Exodus. The context Is always
Important in every passage of Scripturo
or other literature, but hero it is indis
pensable. The few vei'bcs before us .taken
out of their setting can have little mean
ing to any mind and might as well be
cast aside unless the direction made is
followed. But in their rightful relation
' as part of a continuous narrative they
may be instructive. It will appear upon
this reading as suggested that our gen
eral topic Is too comprehensive. We havo
not really a lesson upon the tabernacle,
but rather upon its erection and con
secration. But for the sake of fuller and
clearer view we shall treat the subject
more extensively than thohe thirteen
verses might require. The importance
of the theme is sufficient warrant for
such course.
HISTORY.-After tho delivery of the
first group of laws to Israel nnd the pop
ular ratification of the covenant Moses
was called again Into the mount to meet
God. There ho was Instructed to make
a, sanctuary, a dwelling place for tho Al
mighty (Ex. xxv:S). For this puiposo
the people were directed to present a free
will offering of gold, silver, brass, fine
linen, goat's hair, ram's skins, badger's
eklns, shlttim wood, oil spices and pie
clous stones. Some of these materials
were brought from Egypt, and some were
Obtained In the wilderness since the ex
odus. God so gave full directions con
cerning the structuro and Its furniture
was to be called the tabernacle oC the
congregation, distinguishing from the
tent which had been tho headquarters
Ex. xxxlil:S), Moreover, the tabernacle
of the congregation and its several parts
were represented plctorlally to Moes
Ex. xxv:D). God Indicated the men who
chould be the architects, Bezalecl of
Judah nnd Ahollab of Dan, upon whom
' the spirit of God rested (Ex. xxxl:2, 3, .
The work was Interrupted by the worship
of the golden calf, but after the punish
ment of tho offenders and the restoration
of the people to the Divine favor, It was
resumed and pushed forward to comple
tion. It is impossible for us to determine
precisely how much time was occupied
In the construction,
DESCRIPTION. The tabernacle proper
Was an oblong rectangular structure, 30
Cubits (20 inches to a cubit) lone by 10
Cubits in breadth. It was built of shittem
wood boards 10 cubits long standing erect
In close contact with each other and fas
tened together. It was covered with
lour sets of curtain one of tine twined
linen ornamented with cherubim of cun
ning work, one of goat's hair, one of
ram's skin nnd one of badger's skin.
These curtains were spread from side to
side elevated at the top to form a ridge.
The tabernacle was divided Into two
parts tho Holy Place and the Holy of
OHolles, separated by a veil, the former
twice the size of tho latter. There was
but one piece of furniture In the Holy of
Holies, the ark of the covenant, a small
chest overlaid within and without with
.gold. On the upper side of the ark was
Ithe mercy seat supporting two cherubim,
one on each end, regarded as tho sym
bolic throne of the Divine presence, be-

fore which the high priest appeared on
the great day of atonement. The ginnd
purpose, of the ark was to contain Invio
late the Divine autograph of tho two
tables of stono on which was written tho
law of God, the most sacred thing of tho
Levltlcnl dispensation. In the Holy Place
was the altar of Incense, table of show
bread, and tho golden candlestick, de
scribed In Exodus xxvl, xxxlv, and xxxv,
Around the tabernacle wbb a court, open
to the sky, a parallelogram, 100 cubits
long nnd 60 cubits broad, This court was
enclosed with curtains that were hung
upon a soties of pillars of nccacla, which
were five cubits In height held upright
by cords and pins. The furniture of the
court consisted of the altar of burnt of
fering, used for sacrifices, nnd tho lavcr
of brass containing water for tho priests
to unsh their hands and feet before of
fering snctlflce.
ERECTION. Wo now come to tho flist
part of our lesson proper, the setting up
of the tabernacle (verses 1 to S). This
whs done on tho first day of the first
month nt the command of God, about
ono year after leaving Egypt. Tho Inten
tion was to prepare for the passovcr
which was celebtaled on the fifteenth
day (Ex. xil:lS). The tabernacle wns
made the center of tho camp. Tho mul
titude of Israel grouped around It In 11
fixed order nccotdlng to tribal rank, See
Numbers, second chapter. On the cast
were Judah, Zobtilum nnd Issncher; on
the west, Kphralm, Manasseh nnd Benja
min; on thp south, Reuben, Simeon nnd
Gad: on the north, Dan, Ashcr nnd
Naphtall. Thus the sanctuary of God be
came the rallying point of Israel. Our
lesson gives the order in which the parts
were to be set up, not only for the first
time, but every time tho camp was
formed. This order whs not only a mat
ter of convenience, but of Instruction as
well tho tabernncle proper, the ark of
testimony, the table of show bread, tho
candlestick whose lamps should ho light
ed, the altar of Incense, the altnr of burnt
offering, the laver, nnd then the outer
court. Hero were eight distinct nnd reg
ular acts of construction, to be done with
due reverence and care always In obed
ience to the Divine word (I Cor. xlv:10).
It was Intended that by this prescribed,
uniform nnd oft-repented method the
places of religious worship should be es
tablished In order nnd that those who
had to do with them should know that
not their pleasure but God's will should
determine every form.
CONSECRATlON.-CVerses 3-12). The
construction and erection of the taber
nacle was mechanical. When performed
after the Divine direction, every minute
detiill being followed. It would seem to
be, at completion a purely human prod
uct. Something must be done to give
sanctity to the place, and to awaken rev
eience for It in the minds of the people.
That was effected by what wo would
term a dedication, first of tho tnbernaclo
and next of the. men who were appointed
to minister there. This was done by
Moses In a very simple ceiemnny. Ho
touched cery part with the oil of unc
tion, a compound of olive oil and spices
which he had been directed to mnke ac
cording to a given prescription, nnd
whleh It was a crime to compound or
employ for any other than snered uses
(Exod. xxx:2.i-2."). Olive oil answered
three purposes In domestic life, It was
used as butter Is with us; it Illuminated
dwellings; It supplied an agreeahle un
guent for the skin. In correspondence
with these three uses It served as an ex
cellent religious symbol. The same oil
was applied to Aaron and his sons after
they were washed In the Inver. They
were the clad In their priestly garments,
marie after the directions of the Al
mighty. All this ceremony set the places
nnd pel sons npart as holy or sacred, re
moving them forever from tho common
or secular.
SIGNIFICANCE.-There. was a purpose
In all this whleh every student must
seek for himself, the chief points of
which may he set forth In a series of
statements. 1. It helped to makn tho
transition from the worship of Egpt
with which the Israelites had been ac
quainted to the worship of Jehovah.
Many objects and forms of Egvpllnn wor
ship were retained and given a now
meaning. The peoplo were not prepaied
for a sudden chaiiBe. 2. Tho tabernacle
symbolized tho truths of tho Mosolc reve
lation, to an extent which cannot here bo
fully staled. The unity of God (monothe
ism), a doctilne received from Abiaham,
and the personality and spli ItnalUy of
God, aro especially prominent. 3. The
tabernacle was the pattern of the temple,
built by Solomon at Jerusalem, which
In Its permanent form became the great
central place of national wotshlp. 4.
The tabernacle typified the truths of
Christianity, This Is clearly shown by
tho author of tho epistle to the He
brows, and many modern scholars have
ijct forth the illustrative power of this
ancient sanctuary. Sec Professor At
water's excellent treatise on "The Tab
ernacle." in which he traces the sym
bolism of color, form nnd number, and In
terprets every article of furniture and
of apparel of tho priests. 5. Without
doubt tho tabernacle exhibited the king
dom of God, not only In the stHge of de
velopment In which It then existed, but
ns It was destined to pass Into higher
stages. Jesus nppears to have had this
thought In mind (John 11:21). Hence, the
tabernncle Is Important, to the Christian
as an aid in Interpreting the New Tea-
tament. ,
CONCl.lTSlON.-l. We see how wisely
and gently God dealt with people In their
Ignorance nnfl weakness. Just delivered
from Egypt the Israelites weie not pre
pared for the elevating truths of a pure
monotheism, and forms nnd cciemonlcs
were introduced that should help them,
gradually elevating and educating them
for a better system. 2. We see how 10
llglnus Interests are prngicsslve. That
which Is instituted in one age, while Im
perfect, nevertheless prepares for that
which must come after. The tabernacle
preceded the temple and that the chinch,
and each successive period gathers up
what la good of preceding times and in
stitutions. 3, When any clearly defined
form or Institute Is established by Divine
authority men ought to observe and pro
serve It, for the purpose for which It was
originally Intended, that theiehy God's
work may advance and His plun unfold
and mature.

MARTYRDQM OF LAFRENIERE AND HIS ASSOCIATES AT NEW ORLEANS.
O'REILLY INVITES THEM TO DINNER AND AFTERWARD CAUSES THEIR EX
ECUTION v- O'REILLY'S DECREE AS PRESIDENT OF THE COURT
IN SIX CHAPTERS-CHAPTER V.
THE NEWS of the arrival of tho
Spanish lleet at the mouth of
the Mississippi river came 'on
the morning of July 24th, 17G0.
Captnln Marquis, who had been
mnde commander.ln chief when the In
surgents occupied Now Orleans and
drove out Ulloa In October tho year
before, went to the market place in
New Orleans with Petit and others of
his friends to marshal the people
against the .Spaniards. They put on
the French cockade und appealed to
tho hatred felt for Spain, but all their
eloquence could collect only u hundred
men, though Petit drew his pistols and
declared he was ready to shoot any one
who deserted the cause.
Finding their nppeals hopeless, tho
lenders of the revolution went to Gov
ernor Aubry, who offered them no hope
except In complete submission to tha
Spanlnrds. He told them that the king
of Spain could not possibly come with
the Intention of making war on the
colony or of terrorizing It and he prom
ised to use his good offices with Count
O'Reilly In favor of a general amnesty.
Acting on such representations, La
frcnlere, Marquis and Milhet, ns repre
sentatives of the revolutionists, accom
panied Aubry's own representatives to
OTtellly's flagship at the mouth of the
river, whero they .were received with
the utmost courtesy nnd apparent
friendship. After nn address lit which
Lafrenlere" assured him that the orders
of the King of Spain, would be sufll
clont to put him In complete possession
of the colony, O'Reilly entertained them
at dinner and "treated them with the
most delicate politeness" and "the ut
most sauvlty of manner."
As soon as ho hud lauded his army
n t New Orleans, however, und taken
full possession, he ordered their ar
icst nnd nfter 11 nummary trial sen
tenced nil those who had been promi
nent In the revolution either to death
or Imprisonment und banishment with
the touflhcatlon of their property, Cap
tain Vlllaro, who had commanded the
German colonists during the Insurrec
tion, hud been bayoneted In u struggle
with his Spanish guards, but he was
tried and condemned to "Infamy" with
tho rest.
Tho .sentence which O'Ueilly, ns
president of tho court declared on Oc
tober 21th, 17fi!i, was ns follows;
"In tho criminal trial, instituted by
tho order of tho King Our Sovereign to
discover and punish tho chiefs und au

out In this colony on tho 20th of Oc

ing perused the Information, deposi

conclusion of the attorney general In
his bill of Indictment; and taking Into
consideration all that results from said
trial to which I refer, I have to declare
and do declare that the aforesaid at
torney general has completely proved
what he had to prove and that the ac
cused have not proved and established
the allegations set up In their defense;
that they have made out no exception
which frees them from the crime Im
puted to them and still less saves
them from .the penalties, which, ac
cording to our laws, they have In
curred for their respective shares In

and to be led to the place of execution,
mounted on asses and each one with a
rope round his neck, to be then and

remain suspended on the gallows until
further orders, it being hereby under
stood that any one having the temerity
to carry away their bodies without
leave or contravening In whole or part
tho execution of the said sentence, shall
suffer death. And as It results from
the said trial and from tho declarations
of tho aforesaid attorney general, that
the lato Joseph Vlllare stands convict

most obstinate promoters of the afore
said conspiracy, I condemn In the like
manner his memory to bo held forever

Into consideration the enormity of their

Event of the 20th of October, 1766," and

with the same laws that the property
of every one of the accused be con

treasury; and judging definitely, ,1 pro
nounce this Judgment with the advice
of Doctor Manuel Jose de Urrutla, au- t
dltor of war and of the navy for the
harbor and city of Havana and special
assessor named by mo under royal au
thority for this cause; and his fees as
well as those of tho ofllccrs employed In
the trial shall be paid out of the con
fiscated property In the manner pre
scribed by law.
(Signed) "Alexander O'Reilly.
(Countersigned)
"Manuel Jose De Urrutla."
When this sentence was announced
the people of New Orleans made strong
but fruitless appeals for mercy for tha
condemned. The "common hangman"
refused to carry out the sentence, and
as no other hangman could be obtained,
O'Reilly changed the sentence from the
gallows to the fusllado. Noyan was a
young man who had only recently been
married, and the nppeals In his behalf
were so strong that It was proposed to
allow him to escape, but It Is said that
he refused and declared he would dta
with his friends. On October 23th La
frenlere, Noyan and Milhet were ac
cordingly shot to death In the Place
des Armcs by a file of Spanish grena
diers after their sentenco had been
proclaimed by tho town crier. Nasan
was sent to Havana and Imprisoned in
Jloro castle, and tho sentences inflicted
on tho others wero carried out by
O'Reilly, though Nasan, Jean Milhet,
Doucet, Bolsblanc, Poupet and PeUt
were afterwards pardoned by the king
of Spain. Tho treacherous Foucault,
who appealed to tho king of France on
the ground that ha had acted through
out as his officer, was sent to Paris,
where he wus thrown into the Bastille,
So ended the first revolution except
that tho day following the execution
of Lafrenlere and his friends the Span

once more In the market place and
caused to bo burned by "the common
hangman" all tho documents relating
to the republic and all the protests
which had been adopted against Span
ish authority among tho rest, the
declaration In which Lafrenlero had, as
serted that "without liberty there are
few virtues," and that "despotism
breeds pusillanimity und deepens the
abyss of vices,"
It is said that tho revolutionists "met
their fate with unshaken fortitude,"
