upon the character of the knowledge to be
communicated, and the condition of the indi.
vidual to whom it is communicated.
Now are there not some things that are
necessary for man TO know, that he cen not
discover by any means within himself? With
out revelation, man is a mystery to himself.
There are number Of questions which he
might ask about himself, which cannot be
answered. He might ask for what purpose
he was created; why he was brought into be-
ing; what will become Of him after death, or
why he will die. These and multitude of
other questions spring up, unbidden, in every
mans mind, and, without a revelation, they
must 20 unanswered.
Taking it for granted that there is a Su-
preme Being, what can the human mind
know about God without revelation? 1t is
important that the knowledge of God be clear
and we'll defined. If there is Supreme Be-
ing, he is entitled to our reverence, alteration
and worship. Our reverence, alteration and
worship must be compatible with the charac.
ter of the Supreme Being. Now what can
we, without revelation, know of God
What have those who have been deprived Of
a revelation, know of the character and at
tributes of God?
1t is painful to think of the conflicting no.
tions which the Pagan world entertained of
the Supreme Being. Their gods were poor,
miserable creatures They had not a single
attribute of Supreme Being. In many res.
poets, they were inferior to men. Their ex-
istence was that Of stone, and their power
that which is latent in inert matter. If God
is ever known, he must make revelation of
himself in some way different from that which
is contained in bis works of creation and
providence. God is in all his works, but man,
without the lamp of revelation, cannot see
him. The Bible claims to be revelation
from God, and why is it not?
