again, in his attack upon the min

b said. Paul. clothed as he was, with
rfs priesthood of God, went out and
then as ever in the past the truth
lived and as ever in the future il shall

The implication mere is that Paul be-
cause he Eas a priest, Overcame the
opposition of the pagans, while without
ttl priesthood the truth would not
have prevailed. But If truth is immOr-

or even imueril It. If truth is immortal

The doctor then proceeds to show, to
his own satisfaction, that the priest

llshed by Jesus Christ was lost 10 earth
in the great apostacy that came to the
early church, and, being lost, If could
not come again % earth without a res
t0rati0n. and that restoration occurred
in the establishment of the church Of
which Dr. T8lmage is a shining light
He assured his hearers the holy priest

and to none other organization. 1 tes-

soul that I believe and KNOW this
church TO 5e the only true church pos
