(Ex 40:17; Lev The moral law had been given. The ritual law had been announced and taught The divine fire shone over the Holy of Holies, like the sun—light, peace, comfort, brightness, beauty, life to those who use li aright, but a consuming lira to those who despise and misuse Its power. The divine fire had kindled the fuel on the altar, a perpetual flame (!>•». 6:13) “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 Nebuchadnexxar." — Dr. Glnsburg. The ceremonial of religion as appointed by God. to continue as the best method of worship and religions education of the people, was be-

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 fine advantage. Moses was their nncle. Their exalted family had given them great privilege of association with the best ■in the nation. (2) Their education was remarkable. They had 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 stone. Moreover, they had had the exalted privilege of beholding with their own eyes the glory of God upon the holy mount (Ex. 24:1. 9. 10). (3i They had passed throngh the portal of a glorious calling. They had been dedicated to a scored and most honorable trust. They wore the garments that 1 separated them. In the eyes of all : to the priest's life of holiness obedience Before each of them even the thrilling possibility of becoming high priest Their sin was a direct, public. Inexcusable disobedience to leader. It partook of the nature of treason. They doubtless did It thoughtlessly. hot there are occasions when thoughtlessness Is a crime. The Necessity of the Punishment.. It was the same as the necessity for all punishment.—In Its justice. In IU measurement of the evil of the sin. and IU prevention of crime. No ernment of Imperfect people can or does exist without It. "As has Just been pointed oat. the ritasl system had been Inaugurated on that very day. All was new and strange, easily dislodged. deprecUted. or corrupted, and therefore needing special guarding. The bud needs, and has protection from rough husks, which the flo> er can do without. ThU swift death of offenders against the new order has Us parallel In the awift d Ananias and Sapphire, which U to be vindicated on similar grounds. There, too. the nednslty was stringent for Instant removal of a springing root of bitterness, by which many might be defiled, and for saving the young life of the community from disease, which, nnchecked. might infect Its whole fu-

One Cause of the Tragedy.—Vs. 9-11. 9. "Do not drink wine nor strong drink." The nearness of this Injunction to the story of Nadab and Ablhn Implies that their sin was due. [tartly, If not wholly, to Intoxication. “The PalestlnUn Chaldee adds here, ‘as tt wins did who died by burning fire.' —Glnsburg. "When ye go Into U tabernacle." The reasons given for this prohibition are two: (1) The tendency of wine drinking U to obscure the (v. 10) “difference between holy and unholy" or common; and (2) they would be better prepared to (v. 11) "teach all the statutes " Practical Points. ' Disobedience to God's Uwg U the road to death, whether It be disobedience to bis moral Uws or to the laws of health and right nse of our bodies. Even the moderate use of strong drink shortens the life in years, and shortens H still more In IU effective power. Alcohol Is dangerous, not only by reason of the Injuries It causes to the nervous system, bnt above all by the denutrition that It produces In an ganlsm which Indulges In It to excess. —Dr. Lanceresux, Academy of Medi etna Pesnew
