the thorns were twstad for His brow, they
hurt Him lust as much as they hurt your
brow If they were twisted for it. He took
not on Him the nature OF angels. He took
on Him the sand OF abraham. "Ecce Homo '"
behold the man.
But must also draw from this subject
that He WAS a Col. Suppose that man
should attanot 20 hra1k up q funeral obsa-
quv He wouli be sAizsi by the law, he
would be imprisoned, II he were not actually
slain by the mob hasore the officers could

What excitement there must have been there
about! The 30 iy had lain PROSTATE. 1t had
been mournel over with agoEizing tears.
and yet now it beg MS 10 move in the shroul
ani 10 be flushed with life, and at the COM
mand OF Christ ne rises up and looks into
the facas 0! the aStonshei l spectators.

now that hear Hin proclaim suoernaturll
deiiverances, I look mp into HIS face ard
say with Thomas. "My Lord AMI my Col"
Do you NOT think He was a Col? A great
many people do not believe that, an they
compromise the matter, or they think they
compromise It, They say He was very
gooi man. but He was not Col. That is
impossible. Hs was either a God or
wretch. ani will provo it. ia man pro
f-sses to be that which he is not, what Is he2
He is liar, an inpostor. hypocr1te. That
Is your unanimous verdict. Now, Christ
o'essed to be a Col. He said over AMI
over again He was Go I, took the attributes
o. q God AMI assumed the works and offices
Of a God. Dare you now say He was NOT?
He was q Co, or He was wretch. Choose

DO YOU think cannot prove by this Bible
tnat He was God? II you DO not believe
this Bibn. OF course there Is no nAsd OF my
talking to you. There is no common data
from which 10 start. Suppose you do be-
lieve it. Then can demonstrate that He
WAS divine. I can prove He was Creator,
