THE first part of the week we have Psalms 107 to the close of 119, filled with the most blessed instruction, splendid exhortations to devotion, wonderful teaching regarding the permanency of God’s holy law, and prophecies of the second coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. It seems clearly evident that Psalm 119 was written by Daniel in Babylon. Everything connected with it indicates this to be the case. No one’s experience is better fitted to it than is that of the prophet of God in Babylon.

THE last part of the week covers the book of Hebrews; generally ascribed to the apostle Paul, but by comparing Gal. 1:11, 12 with Heb. 2:3 this would seem not to be the case. The apostle Paul tells us in his known epistles that the Gospel which he preached was not after men in any way, but he had received it by revelation from the Lord. Yet the writer of the epistle to the Hebrews classes himself with those to whom was made known the Gospel by those who had been with Christ and had heard Him; that is, those who had received the truth from the apostles. By some it is thought to belong to Barnabas, while others have ascribed it to Apollos. It would seem very fittingly ascribed to either one, as both were Jews, and had received Jewish instruction concerning the priesthood and the past. The epistle is filled with wonderful truth concerning our Lord, His preexistence, His wonderful fitness to redeem, His sacrifice as the Antitype of the sacrifices in the past, and the preeminency of His Melchizedek priesthood; all are set forth clearly and graphically, with marvelous exhortations to faith, constancy, and perseverance to the last.
