Phi. D.. of East Berlin. who took as his
theme: The Teachings of Jesus. DR..
Rail referred to the comparative neglect
partly IN mechanical conception of the
Bible, partly In the supplanting power of
theological systems.

was his thought of God as the Father.

not separation from the world and sinners,
but lay in that love aud grace which
brought him near to the world and men.
