though it shocks this class OF Divines. Our writer
tells us that Jesus was OF pure Jewish bIood it is
admitted that If Jesus was not Jew by birth, he
was by circuncism; but humanity speaking Jesus
was no more Jew than was Timothy, whose father
was a Greek. The nationality comes from the
father not the mother; His Father was God, from
whence the purely Divine, not the Jewish strains
issued; most likely His visage or grab betokened
Him Jew. The woman OF Samaria recognized
Him as one OF His speech, or in some such way, but
it cannot be said that He was Of pure Jewish blood
Incidently He is proven Jew in 'fcoming to His
own" (see also Rom. 9:5) bat pure strains are
sought in the sire; OF Himself He could say 81 pro-
ceeded forth and came from the Father" God was
His Father Jesus His only begotten Son, hence the
language used has no foundation in fact; besides
while He had all the marks of GodhO0d, He got
through Joseph His ostensibe father, His nation
aity from Abraham, His Kingship from David.
Could His human descent be traced in the face of
what iss written through Joseph and Mary. He
could net he said to be ofpure Jewish blood which
the writer could easily know had he taken time to
examine the record, for we know that He was,
humanity speaking, of Jewish, Gentle, Lowly, Holy,
Royal, Perfect, Imperfect, Mortal, Immortal decent.

Again we are misled by our learned, man.taught
writer, as to the Samaritan problems he tells us the
Samaritan was too much in evidence to be ignored.
