is tho legitimate result of the external thoologi-
cal teaching. which has prevailed, to great OK

scious of tho limitation OF their own Vision. they
speak VITA patronizing compassion Of tho bltnd-
Of the Jews. If men applied half "a much

millions of his children, would finally consign
them Ill to destruction, except Il few who could

cult explanations Of prophecies handed down to
us through tho long lapse Of ages.
Ihore Is. however, deeper Cause for this TX
element, than blind theological teaching. Tho
old heavens and tho old earth arc passing away.
In other words. tho religious sentiment of chris
tendon is changing; and Of course, old thco'og-
