Men have witnessed no scene more awful than Calvary, when "They crucified Him, and two other with Him, on either side one, and Jesus in the midst"-in the midst of transgressors, an object of human scorn and cruelty, of satanic hate and craft; in the midst, as noonday splendor is veiled in preternatural darkness, of God's judgment dealing with the terrible question of sin-the dread meaning of that hour is interpreted by His cry of forsaken sorrow.

No scene greater in glory, shall creature eye behold than that of the universal gathering of the redeemed, with angels innumerable, assembled around the throne of God, all joining in one mighty paean of praise to Him Who stands in the midst of the throne-"a Lamb as it had been slain"-the Man of the Cross, Whose deep humiliation is thus answered by the mighty anthem of redeemed creation.

And now, we have His precious promise-"where two or three are gathered together in My name there am I in the midst of them"-no place on earth so sweet and holy, or there, we have before us, as meeting together in His blessed Person, all the awful meaning of the Cross, and all the blessedness of an eternal triumph-what a theme for our worship! What a scene for angels to behold! J. Bloore
