that the sermon Is largely made IN Of
quotations from Scripture, just as those
were which many of us heard ia our
boyhood And right here let me say
that the sermon which quotes Scripture
is more likely to reach the mark than
the sermon embellished with Shake
spearc or other men of letters.
But to quote from our Corinthian
preacher: Brethren, we ought 50 to
think of Jesus Christ as God He
did not think of Christ as n man to
whom the idea of divinity had been
added in the few short years since the
Savior had been on the earth And il
you think of Him as simply the best
man that ever lived, you make Him out
liar For He said: I am God
This Corinthian preacher told his
hearers in forcible language how he
himself had been rescued from idolatry
which he had found most unsatisfyins
to the spirit, and had been led to fol-
low Christ and His teachings finding in
them complete satisfaction. | ask you
where you could find a more complete
acceptance of the idea of Christ as
God than in the sermon of this early
day which has been SO preserved to
us. When men make heroes for them.
