Excerpt from The Works of William E. Channing, D. D, Vol. 3 IN the verses immediately preceding the text, we find the Apostle enlarging with his usual zeal and earnest ness on a subject peculiarly dear to him on the glo rions mystery of God, or in other words, on the great purpose of God, which had been kept secret from ages, to make the Gentile world partakers, through faith, of the blessings of the long-promised Messiah.
