The divine Ore had kindled the fuel on the altar, a perpetual flame (Lev. 6:131 "to be continually fed with the fuel especially provided by the congregation, and with the dally burnt offerings." “Tradition assures us that It never was quenched till the destruction of the temple by Xebuchadnexxar." — Dr. Glnsburg. The ceremonial of religion as appointed by God. to continue as th^tiest method of worship and rellgloos education of the people, was be-

gun.

V. 1. "Nadab and Ablhu. the Sofla of Aaron." His eldest sons (Ex. 6:23.) Just Inducted Into the exalted office of priests, next to their father, the high - priest, in the line of succession to the highest office of religious leadership and Influence In the nation. A glorious opportunity was before them. They had passed through three great portals of usefulness and happiness. (1) Their parentage,was a One advantage. Moses was their uncle. Their exalted family had given them great privilege of association with the beat In the nation. (2) Their education was remarkable. They bad spent a year In God’s wilderness training school, receiving the lessons of the riven rock, the quails, the manna, the law written on the tables of atone. Moreover, they had had the exalted privilege of beholding with their own eyes the glory of God upon the-holy mount (Ex. 26:1. 8. 10). (3) They had passed through the portal of a glorious calling. They had been dedicated to a sec red and- moat honorable trust They wore ’Jie garments that separated them. In the eyes of all men. • to the priest’s life of holiness and obedience. Before each of them was even the thrilling possibility of becoming high priest some day. Their sin was a direct public. Inexcusable disobedience to their God and leader. It partook of the nature of treason. They doubtless did It tboughtleasly. but there are occasions when thoughtlessness la a crime. The Necessity of the Punishment It was the same as the necessity for all punishment—In its justice. In Its measurement of the evil of the sin. and its prevention of crime. No government of Imperfect people can exist or does exist without It “As has Just been pointed out. the ritual system bad been Inaugurated on that very day. All was new and strange, easily dislodged, depreciated, or corrupted, and therefore needing special guarding.

There, top. the necessity was stringent for In slant removal of a springing root of bitterness, by which many might be defiled, and for saving the young life of the community from dlaease, which, unchecked, might Infect Its whole tnOns Cause of the Tragedy.—Vs. 8-U. 8. “Do not drink wine nor strong drink." The nearness of this Injunction to the story St Nadab and Ablbn Implies that their sin was'due. partly. If not wholly, to Intoxication. “The Palestinian Chaldee kdds here, ‘as thy sons iild who died by burning Ore.’' ’ —Olnsbnrg. "When ye go Into the
