THE TRIUMPH OF FAITH.
Heb., xi, 110.
The apostle has been exhorting the He
brew Christians to patient perseverance in
their faith in a future world, and in its re
wards. Ch. x. 34-39. He now goes on to show
that both the nature of faith and the charac
ter of believers demand this.
OUTLINE.
I. Description of faith, v. 1-3.
11. Examples of faith, v. 4-10.
EXPOSITION.
I. Description of faith.
V. 1. “Faith.” Confidence in the decla
rations of God. 1. “The substance of things
hoped for.” That is, confidence as to things
hoped for. The very same word, here trans
lated substance, is translated confidence in
Ch. iii. 14- To one who has this confidence,
things, as yet only hoped for, have an actual
exist' 3e. One, to whom a legal promise has
L ..wade, that on such a day,in a future year
he shall receive the title —deed to a farm, re
gards that farm as even now really his own.
All improvements he makes on it, he makes
as on bis own farm. 2. “The evidence of
things not seen.” Faith supplies the place
of proof, is itself the proof, and satisfies the
mind as demonstration does.
V. 2. “By it.” By faith. “The elders.”
The prominent men in the Old Testament
history. By “the elders,” Paul would have
them understand their own ancestors in
whom they delighted. “Obtained a good
-ejeport.” Literally, were testified of. Paul
say to his brethren that God himself
had commended in their sacred writings
these men as examples of faith.
V. 3. "Through faith” in the account in
Genesis, and in God as its author, for there
was no human witness of the creation. “We
understand.” Intellectually perceive, ac
cept as a fact. "Were framed.” The origi
nal word implies both creating and furnish
ing. "By the word of God.” By his com
mand. "Things which are seen. The vis
ible creation. “Things which do appear.”
Material things. The negative expression,
were not made of material things, is equiva
lent to saying, were made out of nothing.
11. Examples of faith. ,
It may be asked, why does the writer here
excite the Hebrew Christians to cling to
their faith in Christ by examples in which
there is direct allusion to the Messiah? The
answer is,because faith in God’s declarations
as to the Messiah, and faith in his declara
tions as to anything else are one and the
same disposition of mind.
V. 4. "More excellent,” because offered in
faith. It is implied that Cain’s was not. “By
which.” By his faith, not his sacrifice.
“Obtained witness.” The same word as that
translated in verse 2. “Obtained a good re
port," and here as there it signifies was testi
fied of. “That he was righteous,” at the
time of his offering as the next clause shows.
"Testifying of his gifts." By some token of
acceptance at the timeofoffering.probably by
fire sent from heaven which consumed the
sacrifice, “Yet speaketh” by his example
left on record as a lesson for us. The state
ment in this verse seems to imply some
command of God to offer an animal sacri
fice.
V. 5. “Translated.” Taken from earth
to heaven without death. Gen. v. 22-24.
“Was not found.” Was no longer on earth.
This peculiar expression from the Septua
gint translation. In the Hebrew it is simply
was note’ “For" introduces the proof of
Enoch's faith. “Before his translation, etc.”
The meaning is not that this testimony was
given before the translation, but that the
testimony proves that he pleased God before
his translation. "He pleased God.” In Gen.
v. 24 it is “walked with God.” Both expres
sions imply that Enoch had intimate com
munion with God.
V. 6. As it is impossible to please God
without faith, and as Enoch did please God.
he roust therefore have had faith. “He that
cometh to God.” He who worshiped God.
The form of expression is probably derived
from going up to the temple to worship, for
there God dwelt by his jieculiar presence.
“That he is.” That he exists. Faith in the
existence of a personal God is foundation of
all worship. “A rewarder of them that dili
gently seek him.” Faith in God as a re- |
warder is faith in God as the governor of the |
universe.
V- 7. “Warned of God.” Divinely ad
monished. “Os things not seen as yet.” Os
the coming flood of which there were as yet
no signs. “Moved with fear.” That is,
moved by reverential, godly fear. His con
fidence in God’s admonition impelled him. i
“Prepare an ark.” Gen. vi. 14-22. “Saving.”
Here temporal deliverance. "House." I
Family. “By the which.” By his faith. :
“Condemned the world." By his conduct in I
building the ark, Noah condemned the men
around him for their impenitence and unbe
lief. “Became heir.” Acquired possession of. I
“The righteousness that is by faith. ’ Righte
ousness comes by faith. It may be observed
that Noah is the first person called “just” or
righteous in the Old Testament. Gen vi. 9.
Noah, by his faith in God's warning, obtained
that justification which is by faith, and so his
temporal deliverauce was a pledge of the sal
vation of bis soul. Faith, then, may justify
without being specifically directed to Christ
as its object.
V. 8. "Called by God." Gen. xii.l-4 “In
to a place.” The land of Canaan. “Which
he should after receive.” Which it was God’s
purpose to give him at a future time.
“Obeyed,” Obedience prompted by faith in
him who called, "and he wem out/’ That is,
he actually wentout. "Not knowing whither !
he went.” This shows not only his faith,
but its strength also.
V 9. “Sojourned in the land.” He so- i
journed in Canaan because of the promise |
which God made to him of the future pos- I
session of the land by his posterity. “As in
a strange country.” As though it was the
land of a foreigner and in no sense his.
"Tanernacles." Tents, as if ready to remove
at any time. “Isaac and Jacob’ had the same
promise. In the case of all three the prom
ise was not for them alone, but for their pos
terity. Dwelling in tents, they attested their
faith as men waiting forthe fulfilmentof the j
promise. “The heirs with him.” Joint heirs. [
V 10. "For." The reason for Abraham’s
sojourning or dwelling In tents. “Looked
‘‘A. city." Literally, the

and age. Each of these figures has
a bell in one hand and a hammer in the
other. The niches are supported by
angels with flaring torches, and over
the centre is the figure of Father Time.
At the quarter hour the figure of the
infant strikes its tiny bell; at the half
hour the figure of the youth strikes
his bell of louder tone; at the third
quarter the man strikes his bell, and at
the full hour the graybeard. Then
the figure of Time steps out and tolls
the hour, as two small figures throw
open doors hi the columns on either
side of Washington, and a procession
of the Presidents of the United States
follows. As the procession moves,
Washington rises and salutes each fig
ure as it passes, and it in turn salutes
him. They move through the door on
the other side, and it is then closed
! behind them. This procession moves
to the accompaniment of music played
by the clock itself. The music ma
chinery is capable of playing several
airs.
The mechanism also gives the cor
rect movement of the planets around
the sun, comprising Mercury, which
makes the revolution once in 88 days ;
Venus, once in 224 days; Mars, once
in 686; Vesta, once in 1,827 days;
Juno, once in 1,593 days; Ceres
once in 1,681 days; Jupiter, once in
4.332 days : Saturn, once in 29 years ;
Uranus, once in 84 years. As these
movements are altogether too slow to
be popularly enjoyed, the inventor has
added a device by which he can hasten
the machinery to show its workings to
the public.
There are dials which show the
hour, minute and second in Detroit,
Washington, New York, San Francisco,
London, Paris, Berlin, Vienna, St. Pe
tersburg, Constantinople, Cairo, Pekin,
and Melburne. The clock also shows
the day of the week and month in De
troit, month and season of the year,
the changes of the moon, etc. It is
said that Mr. Meier has worked upon
this clock nearly ten years, and for the
last four years has devoted his whole
time to it.— Scientific American.
GEN. ILOOI)'SLASTCHARQE.
BY MARY HUNT M'CALKB.
The twilight of life is beginning to fail,
Death’s shadows are creeping high up on the
wall,
Eternity's waters are splashing
Ho close, I can hear the wild waves as they
roar,
And sullenly break on the surf-beaten shore,
Their sliver spray over me dashing.
The old camp is fading away from my view,
I hear the last stroke of life’s beating tattoo—
The sound wears the muffle of sorrow—
My campaigns are ended, my battles are o'er,
My heroes will follow my lead never more ;
No roll-call shall break on my morrow.
But now I am fighting them over again :
On the fields that are gory, 'mid heaps of the
slain;
The enemy swiftly are flying;
The shrieking of shell and the cannon’s deep
boom
Are thundering still at the gate of the tomb,
The rattle of grape shot replying.
But ah ! the last enemy conquers to-night,
And death is the victor—ln vain Is the fight,
When Ood and Ills creature have striven ;
The struggle is over—life’s colors are furled,
Are lost In the dark of the vanishing world,
The bonds of the spirit are riven.
But ere I •,o down 'neath the conqueror's
tread,
And He white and still in the ranks of the
dead,
Through tllence forever unbroken;
To you, my old heroes, my Texas brigade,
From the dimness of death, from the cold of
its shade,
One last, solemn charge must be spoken,
My faithful old followers, steady and true,
My children—orphans—l give them to you,
A trust for your sacredest keeping.
By the shades of the heroes who fought at
your side,
By the few who have lived and the many |
who died,
By the brave army silently sleeping.
By the charges I led where you followed so j
true,
When the soldiers In gray met the soldiers in ,
blue,
And the blood of the bravestare flowing— I
Be true to the last and this holiest trust,
Tho' the heart of your leader has crumbled to
dust,
And grasses above him are growing.
