Now. as rational being, tell me
how can God spiritually talk to mar
except in the language of man? Ii
the spiritual sense we are nothing but
little children. so God says. Il will
show those little children how l love
them. l will reveal to them the love

have my only begotten Son born in a
manger and grow up in Nazareth. Then
l will prove his divinity by his mira
cles and by his beautiful life. Then l
will let that Son die upon the cross to
atone for their sins" Tell me, is not
that Interpretation Of Jesus Christ
rational? If you grant your deism and
your immortality of the soul, does not
tie personality of Christ nationally
grow out of these two premises? Why
will you deny that Jesus is your Saw
iour? Was he not incarnated in order
to show the Divine Fathers love for
us, his children?
well" you say, 81 do believe in
Christ but I do not believe in the
verbal inspiration of Scripture How
do we know whether the Bible is our
rule of faith and praetice?" How do
we know? Why, my brother, if you
once grant God and Christ's divine
birth and resurrection 1 do not see
how you can deny the inspiration Of
the Bible.
We might expect that God would
give the world a record of his will.
That is what the Bible is. God, in or
der to put the stamp Of his divinity
upon this book, caused the old prophets
to tell what was going to happen
1000 years after their day. Then
God has his writer's of the New Testa-
ment show how all these old prophe-
cies are fulfilled. Then, just as 1000
different wOrkmen, working under
Christopher Wren, cut the stones and
lay them all together and pile them
up into one great st. Paul's cathedral, !
so God has all these different workmen !
of the Bible do their separate parts, |
working in harmony with one another. |
Thus he fits the different books to- /
gether, and Genesis and Revelation are |
parts of one book. The |
Psalms and the gospels are parts of /
ST. - 4
cradle of Christ are all parts of one
whole. These different books fit into
each other as exactly as the stones of
a mosaic floor ft into each other. If
you grant God and grant the immor-
taltty Of the soul and grant the divini-
y Of Jesus Christ, I cannot understand
why you should deny the divine au-
-hority Of the Bible. God the Heav-
enly Father has written to us a letter,
ust as our earthly parents write to us
when we are far away from the old
Now comes the great practical ques-
in the Divine Fathers
owe, believing in Immortality and the
tOnement of Christ and in the divine
of Scripture, are we ready
With this Divine guidance to fit our
elves for celestial companionship with

D live the higher life and live not for

lory2 When we begin to study the
fe Of Christ and see what God wants
S to do, it is amazing how most of us

Brother, for what are you living?
his vast world was made for you, so
lat in it you can fit yourself for heav-
My companionship. Christ died for
1u in order that you might live a good
I'd useful life. The Bible was written
r you to know what God wants you
do. Are You here and now willing
surrender yourself to the higher life?
cd is calling. Immortality is calling.
