The speaker declared that although
more than eighteen centuries had passed,
the same question is going the rounds OF
most civilized peoples of tho world-"What

best thinkers and noblest hearts Of all
n~ationalities. Jew and Gentle, agree that
Jesus of Nazareth was a most wonderful
man. 1t is still agreed. as in the days Of
his presence, that never man spake like

deceiver. Others said that he was under
the control OF evil spirits. Others. going
to the opposite extreme. declared that
this great Jew was ehova himself, who,
for the time, was masqherading as a man.
Wonderful Words of Life"
A man should be Judged by his own
words and not by he words of others,
whether friends or foes. AS we prompt
ly reject the testimony OF his enemies as
contradictory to the facts, SO when the
friends OF Jesus contradict his own words

should not be followed. Their counsels
respecting what they do not know should
be as thoroughly rejected as those of his
enemies, when they contradict his own
testimonies. Pastor Russell contends that

and servant In the outworking OF a great
plan for human redemption. Those who
deny all OF this. and who have awakened
SO much confusion amongst Christians,
and have made the Gospel OF Christ impos-
sible to the Jew, should give an account
of themselves and explain by what au-
thority they contradicted the Great Teach

Pastor Russell declared that Adam
