HYMN.
Ox
thou
whose
wisdom
formed
and
planned
The
universe
the
countless
spheres,
Whose
mighty
arm
doth
guide
their
course,
And
will
guide
them
through
eternal
years!
To
thee
we
raise
our
hymn
of
praise,
To
thee
our
purest,
holiest
love
;
Thou
art
the
Highest,
thou
art
true;
.
We
lift
our
thoughts
to
thee
above.
High
as
the
heavens
thy
wondrous
thoughts,
Thy
tender
care,
how
great,
how
free,.
From
lowly
earth
to
vaulted
skies
-
We
raise
our
longing
hearts
to
thee.
Oh
give
us
grace
to
meet
thy
will,
Our
lives,
our
all
to
thee
we
give,
-
And
as
we
would
he
best
attain,
May
we
the
best
seek
e’er
to
live.

CHRIST
OR
BARABBAS?
THE
‘scene
in
the
judgment
hall
in
Jerusalem
is
a
symbol
of
what
will
take
place
in
the
closing
scenes
of
this
earth’s
history.
The
world
will
ac-
cept
Christ,
the
Truth,
or
they
will
“accept
Satan,
the
first
great
rebel,
a
robber,
apostate,
and
murderer.
They
will
either
reject
the
message
of
mercy
in
regard
to
the
commandments
of
God
and
the
faith
of
Jesus,
or
they
will
accept
the
truth
as
it
is
in
Jesus.
If
they
accept
Satan
and
his
false-
hoods,
they
identify
themselves
with
the
chief
of
all
liars,
and
with
all
who
are
disloyal,
while
they
turn
from
no
less
a
personage
than
the
Son
of
the
infinite
God.
|
‘God
has
a
controversy
with
those
who
accept
the
fallacies
of
the
great
apostate,
which
are
prepared
to
suit
every
class
in
the
Christian
world,
and
who
discard
the
law
of
God,
pro-
nounced
by
Inspiration
to
be
‘
holy,
and
just,
and
good.”
By
the
death
of
Christ
the
changeless
character
of
this
moral
standard
of
righteousness
is
shown.
Christ
lived
the
law
of
God’s
government
;
he
was
an
expres-
sion
of
God’s
character;
and
he
died
to
save
men
from
the
penalty
of
the
transgression
of
this
law.
Those
who
reject
God’s
law
crucify
the
Son
of
God
afresh.
They
identify
them-
selves
with
those
who
crucified
him
between
two
thieves
on
the
cross
of
Calvary.
The
world
is
asleep.
The
people
know
not
the
time
of
their
visitation.
To
them
the
words
apply:
“If
thou
hadst
known,
even
thou,
at.
least
in
this
thy
day,
the
things
which
belong
unto
thy
peace!
but
now
they
are
hid
from
thine
eyes.”
All
need
to
be
aroused.
We
can
not
afford
to
be
rocked
to
sleep
in
the
cradle
of
carnal
security
or
indifference;
for
we
are
deciding
our
eternal
destiny.
The
record
of
the
shameful
trial
in
the
judgment
hall
has
passed
up
“to
heaven,
and
is
the
standard
by
which
all
are
measured,
whether
they
stand
under
the
blood-stained
banner
of
Christ,
or
under
the
black
banner
of
the
prince
of
darkness.
oo
There
can
be
only
two
classes.
Each
party
is
distinctly
stamped,
either
with
the“seal
of
the
living
God
or
with
the
mark
of
the
beast
or
his
image.
Each
son
and
daughter
of
Adam
chooses
either
Christ
or
Barab-
bas
as
his
general.
And
all
who
place
themselves
on
the
side
of
the
disloyal
are
standing
under
Satan’s
black
banner,
and
are
charged
with
rejecting
and
despitefully
using
Christ.
They
aré
charged
with
deliberately
crucifying
the
Lord
of
life
and
glory.
Each
one
has
an
important
ques-
tion
to
answer
for
himself:
Are
you
on
the
side
of
Satan,
a
transgressor
of
God’s
law,
or
are
you
loyal
to
that
God
who
declared
himself
to
be,
«“
The
Lord,
The
Lord
God,
merciful
and
.gracious,
long-suffering,
and
abundant
in
goodness
and
truth,
keeping
mercy
for
thousands,
forgiving
iniquity
and
transgression
and
sin,
and
that
will
by
no
means
clear
the
guilty
;
visiting
the
iniquity
of
the
fathers
upon
the
chil-
dren,
and
upon
the
children’s
children,
unto
the
third
and
to
the
fourth
gen-
eration.”
God’s
character
is
here
displayed
as
his
glory.
God
has
de-
livered
all
judgment
into
the
hands
of
/
.
