"What think We of Christi" Is the
greatest question of The day and of the
age, said Pastor Murray of ST. Paul's NJ
E, Church to a good congregation
Sunday forenoon, Matt. 22:i2,
This question is at the very heart of the
gospel The only thing greater than
thought is that which thinks, Christ is
still greater and fills the universe.
On the answer to this question depends
the safety OF the nation, the triumph of
church and the salvation of the individ
ual.
In solemn and reyerent argument we as
sert Il ut Christ: wa either an impostor or
a perfect man. Ii He Is Il perfect man
then is he an exception to all other men.
Hugh Miller said no dramatist can draw
greater man than himself. We cannot
invent man greater than any other man.
But Christ is Il model. He is the model.
He is the only perfect man and above all
tho men of the world,

He was probably versed in Hebrew and
Greek, aS He was remarkable scholar in
the Old Testament Scriptures.
His preaching was not loaded with refer

and philosophy and the distinguished
great n.en Of earthly fame. He did not

He was the Saviour Of sinners and
absolutely free from all sin. Wonderful

wife, the thief on the cross and numerous
people Of the world
Christ Is bouudless as tho universe, as
pure as the stars and tho immaculate Son
of God. He Is above the deflcment of
carth's. peupe "IIc is the fairest
among ten thousand and altogether love
ly." He is Of the past, present and future
and the guido Of life.
The speaker went on with mastery
condensation of scriptural descriptions and
characteristics Of Christ.
The infdel must admit that Christ was
either blasphemer or the Son Of God.

with GOD, at the foundation Of the world.
He was the greatest being that ever put

Thomas acknowledged Him, "my Lord
and my God"
Peter said "Thou art the Christ, the
Son Of the living Gcd."
The learned Saul Of Tarsus said, II saw
