of prime importance that they should have some well-defned and authoritative standard of doctrine, faith and practice. The apostles were all dead, and so could no longer be called upon to settle between the conflicting views. To meet such an emergency the apostolic writings would naturally be collected into one volume, and that volume received the title of 'rhe New Testament" or the New Coyen- ant" as it was called, to distinguish it from the old covenant. revealed through the patriarchs and prophets.
 The careful sitting of these writings has been of immense service to the Chris tan church. Biblical Criticism is no modern invention. If there had been no biblical criticisms in the second cen- tury, there could have been no authori- tative New Testament h the twentieth century. It is well known that certain writings of distinguished men, who were not apostles. and did not claim to be in spired. were publicly read in the early churches. Among these were the writ ings of Clement of Rome, Hermas and others. These writings were separated from those of the apostles before our New Testament collection was made If thls had not been done 1t might have been

In direct antagopism with the Ebion- ties were
 THE MARCIONITES, named from Marcion, their leader. This sect rejected the Old Testament alto gether. They taught that the God of the Old Testament was a different be- ing from the God of the New-that the first was God of pure justice. and the last a God of pure love. There was probably dash of Paganism in these notions. Some of the Marcionites wan dered into Gnosticism, and the sect Is sometimes classed with the Gnostics. While the Ebionites denied the divinity of Christ, the Marcionites denied his proper humanity-that is, they held that his human form, in which he lived on earth, was only an appearance and not real body.

 also rejected the humanity of Christ, and as a logical result of this they de- nied the generally received doctrine of the resurrection.
