MR. WILLIAM HUGILL, WORKSOP.
A devoted servant of Christ has passed away in Mr. William Hugill, who fell asleep in Worksop, where he had laboured for fifty-six years. Gentle of disposition, retiring in manners, living almost out of the world, he had a large circle of friends, who loved him for his Christian character and modest mode of life. His first connection with Worksop, in 1840, was as the pastor of the Worksop body of Independents. He ministered at the old Independent Chapel in Westgate till 1850, when he resigned his charge on conscientious grounds, offering, however, to remain as the pastor of the cause without payment, trusting to the Scriptural promise and “the freewill offering of the saints”—in fact, “living by faith.” For forty-six years Mr. Hugill held services at his residences, and at a building on the Lead Hill. During these years, he made many warm friends, who appreciated him for his abilities and his keen insight into Scriptural matters. He was the author of “The Tabernacle: Its Literal Uses and Spiritual Application,” and “The True Sanctuary: Its Priest-hood and Ministries,” For many years, Mr. Hugill preached the Lord’s second coming, and with this in view, he always urged that Christianity was of little worth unless it influenced the daily life of its possessor.
“The Christian” April 23, 1896.
In his The True Sanctuary, in which he draws parallels between the Tabernacle in the wilderness and the true tabernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man (Heb 8:2), Hugill says that, “only the presence of God in grace, and mercy, and love, could constitute a sanctuary, or holy place—that God was not in this sense of the word, everywhere present.” He then asks, “But where is this unseen sanctuary to which the visible so distinctly pointed?”
He then answers that, “It is and must be a living as well as a holy dwelling place;—a house eternal and heavenly. How can his holy sanctuary be set up, and where should it be found? Only in the mystery of the holy incarnation, and in that which this glorious mystery involves, is an answer to these questions to be found. The Word became flesh and dwelt among us."
The conclusion of Hugill is that,” If into heaven itself Christ has entered, his ministry, of course, is only and purely heavenly..... But that very heaven, as the sphere into which Christ has thus personally entered, is found within us. And in that heaven within us, can the presence and power of Christ be felt. And, there, even within, is the sanctuary, the heaven in which Christ ministers;—yea, the holy place of the Most High. This is the holy place to which we have nearness of access by faith; hither, the new and living way tends, which he hath consecrated for us through his flesh .... Though man may find the heavenly sphere within himself, yet all within is not therefore necessarily heavenly. The true tabernacle is really in Christ, and where God in Christ is manifest. There alone is the true holy place.”
Hugill’s understanding is that what the writer of Hebrews says about Christ, “passing into the heavens to be our great High Priest (Heb 4:14), and that Jesus having entered the sanctuary there not made with hands to appear in the presence of God (Heb 6:20; 9:24), and that believers have boldness to enter this holiest (Heb 10:19), means that sanctuary within us.
Is there anywhere in the writings of those early “Brethren” that similar views are expressed?
Is it not that having been raised up together, and made to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus (Eph 2:6), that by faith we appropriate the heavenly blessings in Christ, such as approaching the throne of grace there, and not within us?
