pontsd and divinely annointed King. If . man deny and rise up against his earthly king who is dfvinely appoint cd, he Is guilty of high treason, the punishment for which is death. IT you deny Christ you deny your divinely appointed King: if you shut Jesus Christ out of your heart, you shut out your divinely appointed King: and IT you take your stand against Jesus Christ, you take your stand against your divineiy appointed King That makes you guilty of high treason high treason in . sense that is infinite ly more awful than is high treason against an earthly king. the punish ment for which is death. Men and women. charge every one of you In this building tonight, that is out or Christ. with high treason against Heavens King. and If you got your just deserts you would die.
 'Becond-But He is more than your King-He is the Son of God. He IS divine Person. and if you reject Him you are guilty of rejecting the Son or God; if you deny Him. you are guilty of denying the Son of God; If you shut Him out of your hearts you are guilty of shutting the Son of God out of your hearts: and if you take your stand against Him. you are guilty Of taking
 
 Here pr. Torrey explained. as he has done in . previous sermon. that there is no doubt but that Jesus Christ Is the Son of God. He gave five reasons, all of them given in a previous sermon.
 It was also in this connection that he took occasion to ridicule Christian Science, while arguing that disbelief in established facts does not do away with the facts, saying that although a tx, Christ. hiS disbelief does not alter the fact that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. pr. Torrey then continued:
 "Third-Jesus Christ is not only your King; he Is not only divine; He IS more than that. He is your Savior. the One who was wounded for your trans gressions. bruised for your iniquities. upon Whom the chastisement of your peace was laid. Men and women. If you reject Him. if you deny Him. If you shut Him out of your hearts. if you take your stand against Him. you will be guilty of the most awful ingrati- tude. Never mother loved her son, never mother suffered for her child as Christ has loved and suffered for us. Though He was rich. yet for our sakes He became poor, that we through His poverty might become rich. Being in the form of God He thought 1t not a bliAuB bO DG 8AdoPCo so OO ch SHN~N God, but He emptied Himself and took upon Himself the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of man, and became obedient unto death. yea the death of the cross. For you and me! Will you reject Him, will you deny Him. will you shut Him out of your hearts. and will you take your stand against HimF
 pr. Torrey closed this forceful ser mon by showing, that although men and women may reverence everybody on earth. and may live an upright life and may do good until the very day Of their death, they will lose the Kingdom of Heaven unless they accept Christ as their Savior and take Him into their hearts and love Him. and worship Him as their King and as the Son of God. He told a story to show that if man treated everybody else but his mothe CT with the utmost respect, and served all mankind but his mother with love. and lived the most moral and noble life but turned his heart away from his mother and sent her out, penniless and supperless into the streets. that man would be a scoundrel. That man, con- cluded Dr. Torrey, who will act right ly with respect to everything else. and everybody else, but Jesus Christ is i'm fnitely more a scoundrel than the man who would turn his mother into the street.
