her maternal parent the language of scripture is as clear as any one could desire on this subject god we are told sent forth his son made of a woman it is elsewhere said inasmuch then as the children are of flesh and blood he also himself likewise took part of the same there is no instance on record of anything consisting of flesh and blood in oar view of the words being in heaven much less coming down fi om heaven it is due to mr to say that he afterwards made an attempt to explain his words away but that finding they would admit of no other construction than that they taught the doctrine of christ s heavenly humanity he made a sort of of what he had said but this was not only unsatisfactory at the time but was rendered wholly worth the and of less by his in other works and in another form of the same perilous i have not space to go into the question and must therefore content myself by to my readers the triumphant answer of my friend the late dr of given in his letters to the chronicle on the subject dr s letters i ought to mention though originally published in an irish provincial paper have been in a separate form by and of row is there not something lamentable in the fact that after for many years and to mr doctrines respecting the humanity of our lord to which i have been � mr should now have himself fallen into the same errors become their zealous advocate and yet have made no to mr for the injustice he had done him � not even having expressed his regret for that injustice yet i am not sure whether the slaves of mr be not in this matter more than himself they are with the few exceptions who have come out from in consequence of their leader s fearful with regard to the human nature of christ so entirely to mr in their judgments and that they have not ventured � dared would perhaps be a better � to even whisper of tliis new and most dangerous doctrine relative to our lord s humanity � whereas when mr was supposed to have fallen into this error they raised a howl against him the unpleasant of which up till this very hour � after an interval of twenty years � are heard throughout th of as loud and as indignant as ever the truth is that the moment any one he ceases to have any conscience or mind of his own he must surrender both to his new master because the la will accept of nothing less curiosity will no doubt be felt to know in what way mr received the addressed to him with regard to his views of the person of christ or how he met the arguments by which their character was established he had four favourite modes of dealing with those who ventured to dispute his views the first was to call them all col the brethren and his enemies the second was to retort upon them that they not he were in the faith the third mode was to assert that they did not understand him some of them so while the fourth was to load them with all manner of of abuse mr has always been a perfect master to a of captain hall of who had for many years been associated with him but felt compelled by his views of the person of christ to withdraw from fellowship with him � to that entitled grief y in which captain hall and mr s respecting the humanity and sufferings of our lord � mr replies that captain hall s doctrine is so bad that he mr it with horror as a denial of the true sufferings of christ in regard to the line when he to it which he often does the author of a brief notice of the new edition of mr papers on the sufferings of various specimens of the coarse which succeed each other with a marvellous rapidity in his pages among the flowers of this kind of which mr presents to his readers we meet with low paltry miserable contemptible and false but if he does not succeed in by this means those whom he calls his enemies mr an air plays the part of pope practically claims his direct succession in an sense from the paul and his right to exercise a supreme authority over them in his preface to the sufferings of he writes in language which is largely of this he says i have to take my up because they still carry on their warfare and as satan is using them for mischief declare i not spare them nor fail with god s help to make plain the and doctrines which are at the bottom of all this whose spirit is this not certainly the spirit of christ but to return to where i broke oflf after the exhibition of mr s sentiments respecting the of christ no one i am sure will be surprised to learn that he has adopted views with respect to the of christ which make the doctrine of the cross of none effect without in so many words the d� the and of doctrine of the cross the brethren under mr s give such to the doctrine of our lord s as to put the other into the background one of their favourite phrases is that we have not to do with a dead christ in one sense that is true but it is a most phrase unless christ had risen every knows that his death would have been in vain and the whole human race would have perished in
