and Christ and the relationship DctWeen
God and all men that the church has for
mulated into the doctrine OF the Trinity.
"rhe problem arises out OF the unique
relationship OF Christ TO God and the
fact that God still dwells i'm man with
his spirit and life.
THE NEW TESTAMENT.
"The New Testament completes what the
Old began and I'm its pages we have from
many points OF view that ideal life re-
vealed about which other nations had
scarcely dreamed.
~ believe the Bible contains for MS the
word OF God and therefore the way of life.
That II has within IL all that is essential
10 salvation; that there Is recorded there
the sayings Of God with man; OF man
with God But ! do not belivee that we
are TO overlook the fact that God still
inspires and speaks with men and that
the forgetting OF this truth In the past
has not only deadencd the life and faith
OF men I'm the pulpit and pews, but that
IL has led TO false conceptions OF the BIZ
! BILE and injured its usefulness as guide
TO the best that man can possess or
| achieve.
81 have here set forth IN short and
! fragmentary way some OF the positions
| that ~ seems 60 me are essential and IN
harmony with the teaching Of Jesus
Christ, I have written not as 2 theolo-
| gian with a well wrought out system OF
| theology but as practical minister OF
| the Gospel
II have endeavored to present such
| conception as will be practical and SER
! viceable To men hurdened under the
| cares of the world and the weight Of Elm.
| The only theology about which I am con-
| ccrned as a preacher is one that VIII help
! a man 20 a larger. fuller life.
| 81 came. says Jesus. that they might
have life and have II more abundantly.
| To that end every sermon shall point. All
that is opposed TO that ! shall count evil
| All that furthers richer, fuller develop
ment OF Christian manhood / shall count
good.
III there is evil in a man I shall hope
TO hold up the mirror OF perfect man
hood before his eyes until he sees his
own unworthiness. But | shall be just as
| anxious that he see the good there Is
! within him and aid him 20 lay hold on
that and develop Il by the aid OF that
| spirit OF God that forgives only as IL i'm
parts new lie and strength. I realiz,
that the task TO which 1 have been called
Is n Herculean and shall only hope TO sue
ceed by bending my viii In submission tc
the divine will and by saying with Chris
in every Gethsemane not my viii bu
Thine be done
