Again. There are certain things associated with the revealed will of God which have

to do with a kingdom, a throne, a crown. Has the throne of God been touched in this

great fall? and is it the work of Christ to give that throne its rightful place again? The

"end" or the "goal" is declared to be "that God may be all in all". It is evident that a

negation of this blessed consummation is implied in such words as pride, disobedience,

sin, sorrow, death. When was this blissful state first broken, and by whom? These are

some of the questions we have to consider.

5. THE TWO SEEDS.--We believe that a due recognition of the two seeds in

Scripture will solve the apparent contradiction which some find in such passages as those

which speak of the "ransom for all", and those which speak of destruction and of not

being found in the book of life.

6. THE ACTIONS OF CHRIST.--Many a word and act of Christ will be found to be

of far greater import than can be appreciated while we do not perceive the mighty sweep

of the age purpose. We have already realized what light dispensational truth throws

upon the words and acts of Christ. May we not expect to see greater fulness and

intention when we see them in the light of the aionian purpose? We are confident that

we shall.

7. GOD.--One of the most stupendous results of this wider view will be connected

with God Himself. Such passages as I Tim. 6: 15, 16 will mean a great deal more to us

when we appreciates what the effect of the great fall and its consequent darkness and

confusion has had upon the manifestation of God, and conversely what effect, glorious

beyond words, the restoring of all things to their original perfection will have upon the

interrelationship of God and His creatures, when all mediation fulfils its office and

departs leaving "God all in all".

These seven features will not be compressed into seven articles, neither can we bind

ourselves in any slavish manner to pursue them in a fixed order. They are given as an

indication of the general drift of our studies together, but we hold ourselves free to follow

the light of truth into ways and paths unknown to ourselves at the time of
