Show SEVENTH DAY ADVENTIST GIVES ANOTHER TALK Many persons talk of the cleansing power of tho blood of Jesus Christ, but llud It Impossible to explain how It can bo applied, said Evangelist M. A. Holllstcr In speaking of tho torn-plo torn-plo service ns Instituted by tho Lord Jesus Christ In tho wilderness and oven farther back than that, for according to Gen. 4:4, Ablo the son of Adam understood tho sacrificial system. This system was Just a comptvetod prophecy of tho gospel as revealed by tho sncrlflco of Christ, upon calvary cal-vary when this work was only' jUBt begun. In Hebrews 8:1-5 wo read that Christ Is our high priest, and that, even were he upon earth ho would not bo a priest, becauso the priesthood law would prevent It and farther, chapter 7:11-17 shows that tho priesthood and lnw wero changed chang-ed In order that ho might bo a priest In heaven nnd earth. PrlestH upon earth had to belong to tho Tribe of Levi, nnd a high priest bo a descendant of Aaron as well, but when Christ came that was changed nnd ho became a priest after af-ter the Melchlscdlc order, because of tho power of an endless life, there-foro there-foro any priest of this order must have a never ending life, nnd havo no fnther, mother or beginning of days, etc., Hcb. 7:1-10. Tho tcmplo service endpd nt tho cross ,so far ai priests on this earth was concerned for the veil was rent in twain at that tlmo, Matt. 27:50-51, to show that Its sacrcdness had ceased, ceas-ed, and was transferred to heaven, Heh. 9:24-20. Rome has tried for years to maintain main-tain a system of sacrificial service, a priesthood etc., said tho speaker, but tho Lord has plainly pointed out that any system of that kind was falso for 2 Thos, 2:3-1 Bald that wo wcro to bo careful lest any man deceive de-ceive us In 'this matter. Tho present nnd future work of Christ Is to be continued In the subjects sub-jects for tho rest of tho week nnd Mr. Holllstcr gnvo an urgent Invitation Invita-tion to all to study these subjects so as to know tho truth for themselves. them-selves.
