lad gmbx signs fmm heaven. Christ had, and WUI then performing mhcles which no man on earth could om. and they asribed it to the power of Beelzebub. IFo eridemre had or could be presented, which they rere not ready to elade or deny ; and yet they claimed all the IP.W~, all the wisdom, and all the piety of that day. This nas the character of those whom Christ calls hpwrites, and to whom he addresses the question, But can re not diwem the magits of the times " And happy would it hse been for 11% who live in this day of gospel light, when the gospel shines with greater effulgence than at aqv other period of time aince the world began, if hypocrisy had died with the Pharisees and ,Sadducees; but it was not XI. Any man, of common capacity of mind, who can divest hinwelf of rejudice, or who will b. to see the character of man as kveloped at the presant da in matters of faith, will discover the same unbelief, the same disre,@, the same taunting, tempting spirit. concerning the second c- of the Messiah, as the Pharisees and Sadducees rndestqd in thew conduct and conversation with our blessed Redeemer. And the question may with equal propriety, and I fear with tenfold force, be t to at Uus day, if Christ was here, as then. And I Eve nneh revan to fear, that many may be found among our great, learned, and teachem of divine things, who would receive from our divine Master the sanm reproof, were he as then a teacher among ua Let Ilinl that thinketh he standeth take heed, lest he MI." I &all, then, in treating on this subject, use my text as a reproof to UB. I. I shall show a number of signs which the Jews had in that day, as evidences of Jesus being the true Mes- SIR h. I[. Show the eigna that Jesns Christ, the prophets, and apostles have given us of his second coming, now fulfilling in this day in which we live. Under my first head,.the s i p of Jems being the true Messiah, were, 1. The universal peace at his birth. Of this Isaiab ii. 3, 4, had prophesied 760 yeam before, And maq people ehdl go md nay, Comt ye, and let ua go ap to
the mountain of the Lord, to the houre of the God of Jacob ; and he will teacli us of his way5 and we will walk in his paths; for out of Zion shall go forth the iaw, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the natione, and shall rebuke many people ; and they shall beat their swords into plouehshares, and their spears into prunhg-hooks. Nat~on shall not lift up sword a ainat nation, neither ehall they learn war any more." %i pro hecy wu accomplished at his birth: For the temple of fan"# wu .hut the very year our Savior was born, which denoted universal peace ; and this must have been known to the Jewish rulers. Also the doctrines of Jesus Christ taught that they should forgive and pray for their enemies, and learn war no more. fi Peace on earth and good will to men," wan 6Un b the heavenly band when they announced the hi18 olthe Savior in the city of David 2 The star that appeared and guided the wise men to the place of his nativi rophesied of by Balaam, Num xxiv. 17.

Born of a virgin. Isa vii. 14, '' Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a eign. Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear n son, and shall call hie name Immanuel." This was evidently fulfilled. 5.
