years not Jewish prophet has
risen to oppose the claims OF Christ;
that as a consequence Christ must be
believed by the Jews themselves to have
| fulfilled the law; that the Tarqum, one Of
the best Jewish authorities, applies part
of Isaiah sd and OF the sd chapter
to the Messiah that the Pesekta, the Tan
chums, the Siphre, and other eminent
| books. are fulfilled in Jesus: that though
it is common thing for Jews TO say
Christ never existed, yet there is good
| proof that He did live, and that He came
at the very time when the Jewish na'ion
were looking for the promised Shiloh; that
if Christ was God then His death and
resurrection are comprehensive, since
with God all things are possible; that with
the light of 1000 years shining on Jesus,
something better is wanted in opposition
to Him than mere assertion; that as
honest. free-thinki ng Hebrews they are in
doubt /; and finally, that if any one is able
to prove that the Messiah is yet to come,
they would very much like to hear from
him.
Nothing more remarkable than this
| document has seen the light for many a
day.

at all.-Moody.
1t is not possible to produce from au-
thentc history any contradiction OF any
portion of the o. testament. When such
a contradiction has seemed to be found, it
has invariably happened that. in the prog
ress of historical inquiry, the author
from whom it proceeds has lost credit and
finally came TO be regarded as an utterly
Enthusiastically authority.--Rdw irason.
The natural man would never have con-
ceived that the glory of God would mani
fest Itself in the still, small voice. He
wants something grand. splendid. pomp-

and purple robes and professions, incense
| offerings and solemn chants, things that
strike the eve and ear.-Hdre.
1t is not learning but life that is wanted
Tor the Messiah's kingdom, and life begins

The theme OF the bible is Jesus. Not

Although physical poverty may be over
ruled for spiritual good, it is nevertheless
an evil in itself.-Dr. Thomas.

"The American society OF comparative

faiths of the world, and showing their
mutual relations and the influence OF

propaganiism OF such assaults. create a
demand for defensive movement which
