when they saw the Lord'. The Saviour not only said peace, but He pointed to the ground of peace - the marks of

Calvary, and a Risen Lord.

May we ever see that our peace takes its sole rise from this font of mercy. May we never lean for peace upon the

bruised reeds of man's `good works'; peace, true lasting peace, is found only by faith in the Lord, Who, for our

sakes, died and rose again. This is `Peace with God'.

We have given prominence in these pages to the great question of Justification and Righteousness. We take this

opportunity of presenting to the interested reader an outline that, if studied in relation to context and O.T. parallels,

will, it is hoped, give a little light upon a most wondrous consequence of salvation.

`The oil ... upon the place of the blood' (Lev. 14:28).

Leprosy cut a man off from fellowship both with God and man, and its cleansing, and the pronouncement that

leprosy had departed, is given a large place in the ceremonial of the book of Leviticus. The special feature that is

before us at the moment is the teaching involved in the type so far as it throws light upon Sanctification. The

quotation given above from Leviticus 14:28 warns us not to stress Sanctification by the Spirit to the omission of the

Sanctification by the Blood of Christ, as also it teaches us to place Sanctification by Blood before Sanctification by

the Spirit. Some of the excesses that have marred the testimony of some companies of believers is attributable to an

undue emphasis upon the `Spirit' without the balancing emphasis upon the `Blood', the super structure more than

the foundation.

Let us attempt to put the Scriptural order in which the great effect of the Atoning work of Christ is to be referred.

`For if the blood of bulls and of goats, and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifieth to the

purifying of the flesh: How much more shall the blood of Christ, Who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself

without spot to God, purge your conscience' (Heb. 9:13,14).

`We are sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all' (Heb. 10:10).

`For by one offering He hath perfected for ever them that are sanctified' (Heb. 10:14).

`The blood of the covenant, wherewith He was sanctified' (Heb. 10:29).

`Wherefore Jesus also, that He might sanctify the people with His own blood, suffered without the gate' (Heb.

`Elect according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through sanctification of the Spirit, unto obedience and

sprinkling of the blood of Jesus Christ' (1 Pet. 1:2).

`God hath from the beginning chosen you to salvation through sanctification of the Spirit and belief of the truth'

(2 Thess. 2:13) .

`Christ also loved the Church, and gave Himself for it; that He might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of

water by the Word' (Eph. 5:25,26).

`The oil ... upon the place of the blood' (Lev. 14:28).

Three occurrences of the phrase `No more' in Hebrews ten may provide us with a little help by the way.

No more conscience of sins. Hebrews 10:2.

What can bring about such a condition as this? Does this mean that the apostle was an advocate of the doctrine

known as sinless perfection? A careful reading of Romans 7 and Galatians 5:16-25, 1 John 1:6-10, and 3:9 will
