appointment Rev. j. Ii. CASTLE d. d., delivered
the doctrinal sermon on THE Person OF Christi
from the text, Matt 10: 13-l6:-
"When Jesus came into, he coasts of Cesarea Phi
| lippi, He asked His Disciples crying, Who do men
| say that ], the son OF Man, am ana Jney Salu
Some say that Thou art john the Baptist some Elias
and others Jeremias or one OF the Prophets. He
| saith unto them, But who say ye that am? And
Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ,
| the son of the Living God"
The reverend gentleman considered the subject
| under the following heads:--
I. Is Jesus Christ man? d?
| 2. Is He more than o man?
| g. If so, how much more than man?
| a. And il both human aud Divine to what extent
can we comprehend the union?
s. Finally, what is the value of the true SGrptural
lngt gtrin pf thn pf
| In conclusion, he stated the four factors neces-
sary to the complete conception of Chrst's person
| are:-t. True and proper Deity. 2. True and proper
humanity. g. The union OF Deity ana humanity in
one person 4. The distinction of Deity from
humanity in the one person, so that there be no
mixture of natures.
