FAREWELL TALK
ON THE. TRUTH
Continued from Page One.)


the human race and soul, as no other
truth can.
ssWe love the truth everywhere. Our
in all things. Yet the real truth is
the truth which Jesus Christ teaches.
/ reverence the men who are after the
truth wrapped up in this old world of
ours. But what is this, compared with
truth in regard to man? The truth
which pertains to man is better and
larger than any truth pertaining to the
physical world Man has a body-the
greatest machine in the world in beau
tv. harmony and utility. The study of
it is fascinating. I reverence and honor
the men who study the human body
and master 1T.
nBut what is the human body except
as a dwelling place of the human soula
Man is valued for spirit and life more
than for his body The truth which
pertains to the soul of man is much
better than that which relates to his
body. When we have the truth about
man in regard to his destiny, then we
have the supreme truth-that which
Christ came to teach. All other truth
relates to time-to our existence here,
but this supreme truth overleaps this
life and reaches a broad vista of the
sublime future.
ssIs death the end? Ask the scien-
fist; he is dumb. Ask the philosopher,
IF man die shall he live again?' He
is silent Ask any scholar of any
school and there is no answer. The
grave is dark and silent until the Man
from Nazareth stands at the side of
the grave of his friend, and says, Il
am the Resurrection and the Life. Who
soever liveth and believeth in me shall
never die BY as much as eternity is
longer than time, and heaven greater
than earth, the truth of Jesus Christ is
greater than all other truth.
eye shall know the truth No man
born is authorized to speak the last
word about the truth of God. The
truth will never change but we have
not come into the full measure of God s
truth, yet. Wesley was autocratic and
opinionated but in religious matters he
changed his ideas time and again. The
man who never changes his views is the
one who never reads or studies or
thinks. We are growing on and on in
the truth and God means that his truth
shall grow with us until we grow into
the full state.
q sThe truth shall make you free. ;
We have fought and died for freedom
God meant us to be free. 1t is our di
vine inheritance. Jesus Christ is the
world s greatest emancipation. Human
slavery was almost universal when
Christ was on earth, yet today there
is no nation where slavery is tolerated.
All men and all races are physically
free. People have come out into the
broader light of the truth of God.
cit is the truth of Jesus Christ that
emancipates the human intellect. SUI
perstition has been driven out-has
passed away into the oblivion of the
past. The world is not ruled by evil
Influences or by devils, but by Lord
God Almighty. God is in His heaven
and all is well with the world
Semi-religious fads = Mormonisnl,
Christian Science, and so forth-have
disturbed us little sometimes, but
God s truth will win in the end.
s9The truth shall make You free from
sin. Jesus Christ came to free us from
sin through His truth-from the guilt
and condemnation of sin. This truth
breaks the shackles of sin and sends
us forth in Christian emancipation,
free from guilt and the power of sin.
Gods own sons are freed through His
truth.
.1The only free men in the world are
God S emancipated children A sinner
is under condemnation of God IS laws
He can not be free, but he whom Jesus
Christ makes free, is free indeed-free
in the sight of God and man.
The truth is not all in the past; it
is in the future. The truth of God
shall be regnant and ETERNAL
