one; i breathe il every day. The
water is one; | drink II every day.
You can't deceive me about the ele-
ments that go 10 make up the air and
the water" The chemist would say:
you come up into my laboratory and
i will demonstrate this whole thing
10 you" The ignorant man goes into
the chemists laboratory, and sees for
himself. He learns that the water ia
one and the air is one, but they are
made up Of different parts. So
here is a man who says: II can't
understand the doctrine of the
Trinity" God says: You come
up here into the laboratory after your
death, and you will see-you win see
it explained, you will see it demon
strated." The ignorant man cannot
understand the chemistry Of the water
and the air until he goes into the la
boratory, and we will never under
stand the Trinity until we go into
heaven. The ignorance of the man
who cannot understand the chemistry
OF the air and water does not change
the fact in regard 10 the composition
Of air and water Because we cannot
understand the Trinity, does that
change the facts
And there is youi absurd doctrine
about justification By faith, " say these
antagonists who have chewed up the
little book of evangelism. and have
the consequent embitb red stomach
justification by faitl you can't ex-
plain it." can explA ain il. II is
simply this: When a man takes the
Lord Jesus Christ as his Saviour from
sin, God lets the offender off. Just as
you have a difference with some one;
he has injured you; he apologies, or
he makes reparation; You say, Now,
that's all right, that's all right" Justi-
tication by faith is this: A man takes
Jesus Christ as his Saviour and God
says TO the man: Now, it was all
wrong before. but il is all right now;
it is all right" That was what made
Martin Luther what he was. Justifi-
cation by faith, it is going to conquer
all nations. T..
There is your absurd doctrine
about regeneration, these antagonists
of evangelism say. What is regene-
rationf Why, regeneration is recon
struction. Anybody can understand
that. Have you not seen people who
are all made over again by some won-
derful influenced In other wordA,
they are Just as different now from
what they used 10 be rs possible. The
old Constellation man-of-war lay down
here at the Brooklyn navy yard
Famine came TO Ireland The old
Constellation was fitted up. and though
it had been carrying glinpowder and
bullets il took bread to Ireland. You
remember the enthusiasm Is the old
Constellation went out Of our harbor,
and with what joy 1t was greeted by
the famishing nation on the other side
the sea. That is regeneration. A
man loaded up with sin and death
, loaded up with life. Refitted. Your
observation has been very small in
deed il you have not seen changes in
character as radical - that
AN ILLUSTRATION WITH A MORAL
A man came into this church ono
night, and he was intoxicated, and at
an utterance OF the pulpit he said in q
subdued tone: That's lie" An
officer Of the church tapped him ON
the shoulder and said: You must be
