And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over all nations.” At tlie request of a friend, W. H» Broadway, Ave endeavor to express some of our \fleAvs on this rich pas sage of scripture, not to. add ‘any thing to it, nor to, take anything tliere-' from, although, a failure to bring out what is contained in such a text is liable to be made by poor "frail man. The expression, “in this mountain,” or similar phrases, occurs often iu the Bible. Mt. hloriah suptiorted the temple of Solomon and Avas indicated to David AA'hen the plague Avas to be stayed. This holy Mount then is a figure of the deliverance of poor con demned sinners, and the resting place which Jesus will establish for them, more enduring and glorious than any mount of earth, IVhile mountains suggest vastness, grandeur, security and power, and Avhiie their refiTshing breezes and cold pure Avater delight man, they are of the eaifh and earth ly ; but the pure mount of tlie Lord, built on the- foundation of eternal justice, and measured aud bounded by the border of ev'erlasting right eousness is holy, and from above, for nothing shall hurt in all this; holy mount.

It is a hidden my.stery that Jesus should be mani fest in the flesh, and a mystery that lie should die, and a mystery tliat he should die for sinners. Men by na ture do not believe this. A vail cov ers their hearts in all nations cverv- AA'bere, both JcAvand Gentile, Avliich vail is upon their lieart, aud their foolish heart is darkened. Moses put a vail on his face because Aveak- eyed, luibelieving Israel cohld not look to the end of that Avhieli Avas to be abolished, luhich end Avas Christ. This vail on the face of Moses-denot ed the blindness and hardness of the hearts of the Israelites Avho clung to the letter and condemnation of the laAV, and could not see hoAV that Christ sliould fulfill the law by his life and dea.th. This, same vail is over all nations everywhere Avhile in nature. This uniAmrsal blindness to the truth brought on by transgres sion and fastened there by unbelief inclines micn to reject Jesus avIio is the end of the law, and inclines them to cling to their own Avorks for justi fication, Avhiie they are all in bond age under sin. This is the condition of all in na ture, blind to’the truth, blind to the way of salvation, clinging to the fragments of the violated law, under its curse and guilty before God, Avith the vail of blindness on their heart.
