The Length of the Court

Ver. 11. And likewise, for the north side in length there shall be hangings of an hundred cubits long, and his twenty pillars and their twenty sockets of brass; the hooks of the pillars and their fillets of silver. One hundred cubits north and south. “Awake, O north wind, and come, thou south,” is the language of the Bride in Solomon of Solomon 4:16. Whether the chill north wind of adversity blows, or the genial south wind of prosperity breathes, there should be the same firm standing and decided walk, the same maintenance of righteousness and holiness, the same manifestation of Christ, and the same readiness for fellowship with all saints, on the ground of our common Christianity.
