T-he housellold vprle-sthood was continued after the flood, and No- -alf' was the first of them. and they continued till B. C. 1490 by the patrinrclls and their descendants to the time of Moses, and after the deliverance from Egypt. The first order of priesthood ‘having become antiquated, God instructed Moses to build Him a place of worship, ,and install a new order of priest- jhood. All instruction with refer- ence to this bullddng was given to Moses in the Mount. This build- ing was the tabernacle, which was built in the wilderness, and before lsrnel ‘ileparted from Mount Sinai; and was elected on the first day of tiiefirst month of the second yefir‘ after Israel's departure out oi’ Egypt. It was richly and beau- tifully furnished, and ‘had a. priest- lmod gorgeously ,an.d beautifully attired. The first high priest was Aaron, Mosasbrother. He wus invested with high honors, super- iutelided the affn- rs of' the taber- uagleptpnt was president ol’ the Sahliédriu.‘ His four sons were ' iris. assistant priests. He alone could go into the Holy of Holles, and but. once a year, taking wit-h lrim the atoning blood, wh ch he sprinkled on the mercy seat and before it. He also offered sacri- fices daily for his own sins and for the sins of the people.

Aaron's sons were his assistants and offered the morning and even- ng sacrifice, kept tlrc fires on the altar continually, burning, sup- plietirthefiamps with oil,- and in ’ many ot er t-hiugs assisted. The sons succeeded their father in the office of the priesthood, and as time advanced they became very numerous. ‘ The whole tribe of Levi was set apart for the service of God. lThe Lovltes were the teachers of the people, and did some other services about the temple and tabernacle; but they , could not offer sacrifices. Aar- ' has descendants are sometimes called the .Levltica.l priests; for r ‘both Moses and Aaron were of the tribe of Levi.

None could be pr-‘ests but the descendants of Aaaron. This was absolutely required. The mother must be an Israelite of good-fam-

They had enough of’ idolatry in their captiv- ity: ‘but the Church became cold and formal and lacked Godliness. l‘he‘ temple services were kept up according to the ritual, and this was considered enough.

‘When Christ came to do His

glorious work. He found the priest- hood and all the rulers of the people opposed to Him, and‘ the High-priest, Ciaphas ,aud Annas, bitter enemies who persecuted Hiru continually. and finally brought about His crucifixion. He found His worst enemies in the Church. We shall now refer to the priest- hood of Melclrsedec. which is the Hebrew word for a righteous King. There are many conjectures at to g he was. Some assert that he was Christ Himself, having come into the world by a special dispensation, some that he was an angel, and others the. Holy Ghost. iwe venture‘ the assertion that ‘none of these conjectures are cor- irect. None of the persons men- tioned would receive cattle and sheep from Abraham. To be a prcst a person requires to be a man. None ‘but a man could be ‘la priest. ‘Tire priest offered sac- jiflca first for his own sins and ,then for the sins of the people. ‘This an angel could not do. Angels {in Heaven are sinless, and could ‘not sympathise wih us in our fall- en state. nor- compassionats our weaknesses and shortcomings.» None can do that hut one in our nature. Christ to become our orriest. became man and took our nature upon Him.

it is clear that we should accept what Melchisedec is designated in the word of God-—“Th-fs man" He was a light shining in a dark ‘place, among the Oanaanlte na- itions, who were idolaters, and iseems to accord more with the household priesthood than with the Aaronlc; but was higher than either of them. He was called a priest of the most high God to dis- tinguish him f-rom the priests of the surrounding nations whose Gods werefldols, dumb, deaf, blind and motionless, He was also a King, King oi‘ Salem, which is King of peace. Salem was‘ the ancient name of Jerusalem. It is the Hebrew word for peace, and there on Mount Zion the temple was built at a int- er date, probably his territory was not very large. ’

There were many petty Kings in Palestine and surrounding count- rles whose territories perhaps did not exceed twenty or thirty square miles. He was evidently acquaint- ed witlr Abraham, who lived sever- al years in and around southern Palestine, and was a prominent. man, and was Melchlscdec. whose terr-‘tory was in Palestine. These two good men were evident- ly acquainted, and good friends. l-le knew when“Abraham was at war and bad returned victorious. and went out to meet him with bread and wine, and blessed him, and blessed Gad for giving him the vlctorfl. Abraham itclmow- lodged, Melclrlsedec H's psuporior. as being a priest of the mostHigh God, and presented him with the tenth part of the spoil he had tak- en in battle, so that he would have abundance of cattle and sheep for sacrifice. Melchisedec accepted the gift, as being that of a good man- It is sa'd of Melchlsedec that he was without father or mother. without descent, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like unto the Son of God, abidetlr a priest con- tinualiy. ‘Hobs. 7:3. God raised him up to be a. type of Chrfst, and hence the great honors and bles- sing conferred upon him. What is said of him here has no refer- ence to natural bir-th or death. Without father and mother ho could not be a man. But the air. ostle here is speaking of his priesthood. He was a high priest, beng a priest of the Most High God.

The names of the father and mother of the Aaronic priests, tho date of entering on their 1111989 hood, the names of their predeces- sors and successors, their age and death, were all minutely recorded. But the names of the father and mother of Melchisedec are not re- corded, and are not known. so that with regard to his priesthood hols wthout father or mother. Nor is

censor recorded. and is therefore in that sense unlimited, nor is the day oi his birth or death recorded. and thus he is not limited in his prIest-hoorl, and therefore abides, like the Son of God. a llrifllt a011- tinnally. 1H0 was never set aside as a priest! nor was Christ's priest- hood set aside, Whom the word of lGod sets not aside.

We will now speak of Christ's priesthood. He was of the tribe of Judah, to which tribe His moth- or belonged. As to His human nature then He belonged to the tribe of Judah, and the only pr-‘es-t of that tribe, and thus differed from the Aaronic priesthood. He had neither predecessor nor suc- cessor; so His priesthood is un- limited, and He continues a priest unchangeably after the order Mel- chisedec, a Kingly priest, which the Levitical priests were not. Christ had no-beginning of days. He was, the Eternal Son of God. was in Heaven till Ho came to this world. When dying on the cross He commended His Spirit into His Father's hands, and was with Him in glory till His Resurrection.
