The Great Future Triumph sr Christianity.
Christianity is the towering OF the theology
Of the ages and Christianity is already and
must more and more become q success. How
much Of the theology Of the East had reached
Egypt no one can answer; but that all that
was best in the theology Of the Egyptians was
picked up by the Greeks and placed by them
on record no one can deny. The civilization
Of the East, if anything ever became fact,
became q fact under the empire Of the Romans.
The Roman empire gathered into itself all that
was best in all the previous sources Of civil
izing influence. II is a fact well deserving of
attention that the religion Of Jesus Christ did
not make its appearance until the Roman
republic became empire, aud until through
| the force of individual will, the Roman
| empire became unit. The advent
| Of the Messiah had not been pro-
missed before the fitness Of the times.
The funess % the times did not come until the
known world was at least popular unit
Then, but not till then, was ii found that s'a
the world was popular and well known
phrase. Then, but not till then. did the
Messiah appear. The birth Of the Roman
empire marked the era OF the birth Of the
| Messiah
The time was opportune. Not to speak of
the inspired prophets who saw and described
scenes the realization OF which stretched into
the far aud indefinite future; not TO speak Of
the intensity and universality OF feeling which
marked the period and which pointed 60 a
Messiah about 70 come; not 10 speak of the
Roman roads, the railways and telcgraphs OF
the period, or Of the almost universal diffusion
