every capacity with its correspondent
in nature, and then the high place
given to belief that has been accord
ed, together with the truthward
pointing Of the mind, we have
conspiracy Of reasons that lead us to
presume to say-"After death we
shall live again"
5. Revelation, the only. absolute
evidence. AS strong as our pre-
sumptive reasons may appear, they
are Of service principally as collater-
al, or corroborative evidences.
(D Christ taught the doctrine Of
a future life. Eleven Of his thirty
three parallels deal with the question
of awards and punishments-of
course in the future. He said he was
going to prepare place.
(2) Christ illustrated it by rails
ing up others.
(3) Christ practiced it by arising
from the grave himself.
az After his resurrection he ap-
peared on semdry occasions and final
ly ascended into heaven in the pres
ence of a multitude.
(5) These facts recorded in the
document called The New Testament,
we're not refuted by his enemies who
sought to destroy his doctrine by
falsehood. They dared not attempt
to deny an accepted fact. Before an
open grave we find our surest hope Of
Immortality.
On Sunday evening Mr.. Roper
preached at Mayer Memorial Luther
an Church and the following is an
outline of his discourse:
The Conquering Christ.
"And Plate wrote title, and put
it on the cross. And the writing was,
Jesus Of Nazareth The King Of The
Jews And it was written in
Hebrew and Greek, and Latin"
John 1919, 20.
l. The title of derision has be-
come prophetic. PLATE, the weak
kneed monarch, the political dema-
gogue, the ruler of expediency, who
sought ito give the people what they
wanted, and not what they needed,
put the title of derision on the Cross.
But strange enough that title has be-
come the prophecy of a worldwide
conquest of Jesus the Christ, the
King of Kings and Lord Of Lords.
The fulfllment of this prophecy is
occurring under our own eyes. From
Japan, China, and from earth's re-
motest boundaries comes the voice OF
triumph and conquest. And now in
our day the laymen Of the different
evangelical churches ara marching IN
solid phalanxes to hasten the con-
summation of the victory. This mighty
Movement contemplates the
conversion of the world, not in the
next century, but in this generation.
2. The three-fold language IN
which the title was written has a
meaning for us.
"And it was written in Hebrew,
and Greek, and Latin"
(1) Hebrew. was the language in
which the oracles Of God were re-
corded.
(2} Greek was the language Of
philosophers.
(3) Latin was the language Of
empire.
"Jesus of Nazareth The King Of
The Jews was not only King OF
The Jews, but He was Lord Of the
ology, Lord of philosophy, and Lord
of the empire. All truth has become
tributary to Him. He sits enthroned
above the monarch Of earth. This
great country of our dares not open
her legislative sessions without in
voking through her chaplains, the
Divine blessing. The American navy
that lowers her stars and stripes be-
fore no nation that sails the deep,
does lower the flag to half mast at
the hour Of worship.
3. The note of derision has given
place to one of victory.
We live in the time when the ends
Of the ages have come upon us. Events
are marching fast. Today every I'M
portant language or dialect has the
Word so that all the people can read
