DELAWARE GAZETTE AND STATE

We believe, therefore, that Jesus was
divine because he was godlike in char
acter, and taught the world this way of
living. He makes the goodness and
love of God real TO us by his own pure
life-his self-sacriticing devotion to
truth and duty, his love for God and
man. When we read the story of tho
Gospel, study its precepts, and accept
its principles as our rule of life, a new
light shines into the mind by which
God is seen to be our Father, heaven
nearby, and life full of divine love and
goodness.
Thus we como to SEQ the true divinity
of jesus in the fact that he reveals God
to our hearts, and helps MS to live as
he himself lived, with one hand in the
hand OF God, and tho other extended
in help to Ged's needy children.
This, then, is the way that Uni
tarians believe in the Divinity Of Jesus.
And We think our faith reasonable and
inspiring, and also in harmony with
the spirit of tho New Testament In
stead OF confusing the mind and chill
ing tho heart with the phllosophic
statements of the creed5, we 20 direct
to the Gospel itself, and there we touch
hands with the Christ as our brother
and friend; and, through him, are led
as by an open door into the very presence
of God, and know him to be the uni
yersal Father.
Theodore Parker, who was the first
| Christian preacher in this country to
insist on the perfect naturalness OF tho
religion Of Jesus, has expressed this
view of his divinity in hymn which
is very dear to Unitarians as exactly
voicing our allegiance to the Christ,
whose name we bear, whose sway we
own, whose love wells up in our hearts,
and whose spirit goes forth in our lives
for the healing and uplifting of the
| world: ,f
| 0 thon great Friend to all the sons Of men,
| Who once appeared in hum blest guise below,
| Sin to rebuke, to break tine captiye's chain,
And call thy brethren forth from want and
woe!
We look to thee: thy truth is still the light
| Which guides the nations, cropping on their
! way
Stumbling and falling in disastrous night,
Yet hoping ever for the perfect day.
Yes: thou art still the Life; thou art the
WAY EF
The holiest know,-Light, Life, and Way of
heaven;
And they who dearest hope, and deepest
pray.
Toll by the light, life, way, which thou has!
given.

Cheney II, Loomis Dead.

Cheney T. Loomis, aged about 20
years, died early Sunday morning at
his residence, No. 1913 Elliott avenue.
For some time he and the late @.
Wesley Broomall, who was killed in an
accldenJ about two weeks ago, were
close friends, both being members Of
Brandywine NJ. E. Church, and the
death of young Broomall preyed on tho
mind of Loomis, who contracted chill
while attending the funeral services
over his late companion. Tpyhold fever
and pneumonia developed and proved
fatal. Both Broomall and Loomis will
be very much missed by the members
OF Brandywine Church, as they were
workers and exemplary young men,
Loomis being teacher in the infant
department.
