"You may proclaim the
~ Lord - . great ethical
Teacher, but the ethics may
gsnsrnts NO more energy than the
Ten Commandments painted upon the
cold surface OF the walls Of . church.
You may proclaim Him - . young
Reformsr. but the program viii no
more lift men out OF their deadly
grooves than . party program will
lift men out Of their sins. Jesus, the
young Prophet. may draw cheers; the
upliftsd Lord draws men. The young
Rsformsr may gain mems signatures:
the sacriical Saviour wins their
hearts."
We may be allowed to say revsrsnt-
" that the biography Of God has been
written and that It 10 in three vol.
umes. One volume treats Of Him -
Father, another Of Him ~ Son. and
the third Of Him ~ the Holy Ghost.
For many long decades the last was .
practically unread volume. 30 little
was said Of the Holy Ghost from the
pulpit and in books and periodical
publications that the people could ap-
propriately say. with the disciples Of
Ephssus: We have not % much -
heard whether thsre BE- any Holy
Ghost" This volume. however. 10
now receiving more attention.
Biography u Christ.
We may be allowed 70 say reverent-
~. also, that the biography Of Christ
has been written. II has three chap
tiers. They may BE- entitled Christ
the Prophet" Christ the PRIEST" ana
Christ the King" We have among
Us many who claim to have obtained
. clear and adequate view Of Christ.
but II h safe to say that no clear and
tanned BY any one who has not seen
Him In this of'icial trinity. Just ~
We must study God as Father. Son
and Holy Ghost. 80 We must study
Christ a. Prophet. Priest and King.
We fear that the Priesthood volume
Of the biography Of Christ Is not now
receiving the attention which II 70
ceived q generation ago. Then Christ
the Priest, the atoning One. the great
Delivercr from eternal death which
was pictured A. the wages OF sin, was
held up before the eyes Of dying men
and women. Much was made Of the
atoning blood. The blood OF Jesus
Christ" was represented - . real and
eficacious reality. Tho greatest ser.
mons were on the subject Of The
Atonement." The penitent At the ~
tar felt that what be was trying to
ind had been made possible through
the sufRerings and death of the Son Of
God. the great High Priest that 10
passed into the Heavens. Jesus The
Son of God"

Christ from the pulpit and platform
and In nswspapers. magazines. and
