The Unitarians argued that the Saviour had never asserted that He was the Son of God ; and that Trinitarians borrowed their doctrine of the ,a .1.,. •••••• J. a a... viilLy L Godhead from Pl a t o an d ot h er h eathen philoso p hers; - yet they apply to Him all that was said of " The Son of Man ;" and hence arose the contradictions in their belief, which compelled them to resort to a dif ferent interpretation of certain passages from that received by other churches. It was impossible, they said, that God should become a creature ; and therefore Christ was only a man dependent upon God. In his human relations that was fully admitted ; but on turning to the Gospel of St. John we found that "In the beginning was the or the incarnate In other passages the resurrection was referred to--a subject on which the Unitarians stumbled, for they could not admit that the De;ty could suffer death, and rise again in the flesh. That arose solely from their denial of the Saviour's twofold character of man and God —eternal God, and eternal man. They assume to know not only what a man is, but what God is also ; but there is a striking passage in the book of Proverbs, chapter 30, putting the question clearly as to the inability of finite man to comprehend the infinite wisdom and power of the h Museum and in hi s Creator, who made all t hi ngs ; w h o governs and directs the unseen as well as the visit-' world ; and whose w Why is it that we do iod as we would of man with regard to his attri: In men we call those things qualities which we ascribe as attributes to the Deity.

There may be persons who assume to believe; but from the moment they reject the spiritual character and relation of the Sa viour with the Father, there is a regular progression downwards to infidelity. Some of them may endeavour to stop. A few will say they will halt at one point, and a few at another. But they cannot stay, and this the most candid among them will admit. The real danger then of Unitarianism is that they call themselves by a fal: saying that they are Christians when they are n. If they really believed in the inspiration of the Bible they could se name, not attribute to Jesus anything but divinity. They must find there that He was in the beginning with God. Not that there was any creation of Him made, but that He made all things. The Unitarians, on the con trary, asserted that there was first a creation made of Him, and a further creation, or, as they translated it, "by Him the world was constituted." It was positively asserted, moreover, in Scripture, that all things were known to Jesus. If that were so, He could not possess such knowledge merely as a man. What man among us, looking back to past ages, to the countless succession of '‘ tinges even on the face of the earth which geology de strates to us, can say that he knows all the history of the present, and the future. If we but look into we shall see what complexity there is in '- ,To to search tl arselves le numberless combinations of nd science, we shall at once perceive how im possible it would be for any feeble, finite man to master all the knowledge of the past alone. The intelligence of the Saviour then is as superior to our intelligence as the substance is to the shadow. How, indeed, if He were but man, can the Unitarian believe the passages of the Bible which say that when He laid the foundations of the world .11 AL A ,te stars sung together; and that the Deity .. aimed, " Thou art my beloved Son ; this day hit. !"

The answer to this was that men were under the law of God; to which He was not himself subject.
