teousness : but it suits more the purposes of the glorious scene on the Mount of Olives , that there should be nothing to dazzle the imagination , or to divide the attention . The Apostles saw him rising from the earth , while
praying for them to his God and Father ; ascending with tranquil dignity ; gradually lessening to their fixed sight ; and , before distance rendered him invisible to them , received into a cloud—bright we may reasonably suppose as that which overshadowed him on the Mount of Transfiguration—like that , too , an emblem , to the Jewish disciple , of the shechinah which rested on the ark , and manifested the presence of Jehovah .
They saw their Lord no more . They witnessed his triumphs ; they shared his favour ; they wrought miracles by his power $ they loved him with a love which stood the test of reproach and toil and suffering and death ; they rejoiced in him with joy unspeakable and full of glory ; and they looked forwards to the time when they shall again see him , and be received into his glory : but on earth they saw him no more . Yet they
continued gazing ; hoping , perhaps , to catch a last glimpse through the splendid veil which concealed him from their sight . To set at rest their anxious curiosity , two heavenly messengers stood by them , and declared to them that the same Jesus , whom they had seen taken from them into heaven , shall come again—when every eye shall see him—in like manner ,
visibly , and certainly , as they had seen him go into heaven . Then , full of veneration and exulting transport , the Apostles prostrated themselves on the ground , in reverential homage of their ascended Lord , and speedily returning to Jerusalem with great joy , were continually in the Temple , praising" and blessing God .

No . IV . Present—Ebion Adamson , Barnabas , Elhanan , Philo , and Caleb . Barnabas . I hope our friends of the Irish Deputation are satisfied with the reception they have met with in London .
Ebion Adamson . They have good reason to be so . Not a few will be surprised , as I am , at the success of their appeal , even though it is urged by men whose names are enough to create a prejudice in favour of any cause . It can be no matter of surprise that Montgomery and Blakely should have been welcomed every where with open arms ; but I did not expect that their mission would have been identified with them as it has been .
