l'ane. s.ost singers, will sing a solo TO-
sa. s's. and DR.. Cline, at the request OF
nlsn'' f,;onds has also promised
some solo work soon.
ny ~ Cline is always his pest oefore
l.ouded ~. house and after reading the
a., ohanter of Isaiah he presented the
nronosition, v "Is Jesus the Son OF
rodq" giving the answer OF prophecy
~ forceful and convincing, and
vorv pleasing manner
G r;rst as comparison, he asked his
.oorers to imagine man appearing
~ The city of London LOO years ago
and in one of the large art galleries
,ronaring a canvas for painting and
aot;ne stroke upon it with his
,r,sb and then suddenly dropping out
:, ciobt The canvas remained in the
ro,,orv for one hundred years when
onother man made his appearance and
,,,ocod stroke of the brush upon it
Ind also disappeared. And each sue
oooding one hundred years thereafter
Tho same thing occurred until eleven
hundred years had passed and eleven
Inherent men had worked upon that
o;cture and when the last man came
md nlaced the finishing touch upon
bo nicture, when 10! there stood
be portrait of our immortal George
WASHINGTON. He asked what would be
bp conclusion of all rational people
should such an occurrence actually
AXE place. And the answer was that
was the same spirit animatinE those
plevpn men that enabled them TO pro-
luce finished portrait of the immor-
Al Washington. That it could not
have been done by eleven different
bresonalitites, but only by one and
he same spirit entering into and guid
ng the hands Of those men.
So then, in the thirty-nine pafch-
nents. or books, comprising the Old
Testament, we fnd word picture eli
christ. written by eleven prophets in
period of 100 years; completed four
hundred years before his birth end
translated into Greek two hundred and
lightly years before his birth.
Dr. Cline stated that the Old Test
ment is a book of testimony to prove
he Divinity of Christ: that it was
|rtten for that purpose and for that
urpose alone. and that when it has
Dne that for us we have no other
eed of it. That it is not guide for
lose who have lived since the coming
Christ
nning with Genesis and continuing
roughOut the entire thirty-nine
(oks of the Old Testament, of pro-
(ecies of His coming. His character,
suffering and His death, resurrec-
pn and ascension. He called espec-
attention to the prophecy concern
his crucifixiOn because at the time
was written the Roman empire was
IN existence and such q mode
punishment was unknown He also
lied attention to the fact that the
pphecy that not bone of his body
Duld be broken was repeated every
pr for fifteen hundred years, and
en He was nailed to the cross and
foman soldiers, as was their Gus
., came to break His limbs in order
hasten death, they found Him dead
so broke not his bones that it
Eht be fulfilled that which was writ
by the prophets.
pf. Cline challenged the doctors. |
yers, men of science and all who |
d. to face the evidence. He gave
fehce after reference, all from the
testament, showing a complete |
ufe OF the coming Savior. and in
llfst four books of the New Testa-
'' we will find a history of his life
the complete fulfillment of every
phecy.
