The spirit Of intolerance is not dead.
Some are not satisfied with the fruits OF
ones life; they demand that the worker
of miracles shall also be professed be-
lieyer in the same fold as the bigoted
disciples who sought to stop the EFFORTS
of one who followed not with them.
Those who showed this spirit were men
who had failed while Jesus was upon the
mountain and they had tried TO cast OUT
the demon. II one succeeds where We

separates His life into two parts. Dur

Himself Of His eternal glory so that

Mercy and Love.

Herein is the glorious gospel of Gods
loye-the good news and glad tidings
to a perishing world. From which we
should learn that men by nature are
in a perishing state and need divine
help; that Gods great love has pro-
vided an easy way of access To saliva
tion-not by work, but by faith. and
that men are inexcusablc In refusing To
accept the gift OF Gods love and In
ignoring the appointed way OF faith
and trust. for only he that "bciiaxeth
has the promise of everlasting life"
Accept Gods plan, trust only In tiia
mercy and love.

The method appointed is faith Faith

Without faith no man can be saved.
"Believeth'' is the pivotal word in the
salvation verse-all turns on the point of

to save.

Dehverance, Death and Disputes.

The coming catastrophe was drawing
rapidly near, for in less than six months
time the people would demand of Plate
that Jesus be crucified. During his pre-
vious ministry the popularity of the Mas
ter with the masses alone had saved his
life, for his enemies feared that they
would precipitate some insurrectionary
movement which would provoke retalia-
ton from the Romans or they would
have found some way to kill him. The
tide of popular enthusiasm had turned
Galilee had changed until it was filled
with the spirit of Jerusalem and Naza-
reth-both of which places had rejected
Him because He did not do as they ex-
pected. 1t showed it's antagonistic spirit
in the opposition that broke out In the
synagogue of Capernaum against Christ.
This change spelled defeat for Him I'M
less He would change His program by
openly proclaiming himself as king If
Jesus did not comply with the demands
OF the people then they would turn
against Him, with the result of His being
delivered up and dying at the hands of
the scribes and Pharisees a martyrs
death.
This was the situation that caused
Christ repeatedly during this pilgrimage
throughout Galilee TO impress the facts
OF the coming events upon them of His
being delivered, dying in Jerusalem anu
rising from the dead. They feared He
spoke of these things that possibly they
were to take Him literally. so that they
did not dare To lift the veil which COW

Christ what He meant. Like the three
who had been with Him ON the noun

''one with another what the rising from

they disputed. for they, filied with envy

The Great Gift.

This, then, is Gods glorious design that
men should not perish, but have immortal
life. Let us next consider the means by
which this great design is executed.
'He gave His only begotten Son.
This was in fulfillment OF promise from
the beginning. The seed of the woman
would bruise the head of the serpent;
the types, shadows and sacrifices of the
early church; the writings Of the proph-
cts. ali foretold that in the fullness Of
time God would send forth His Son
made of a woman, made under the law
to redeem them that were under the law
that they might receive the adoption of
sons
The means by which the plan OF re-
demption was to be effected was in and
through the gift of Gods only begOtten
Son. By Him the law was to be made
perfect. by Him the doctrines of right
eousness and truth were to be revealed:
by His example the ways of uprightness
and holiness were to be made known;
by His blood there should come ransom
from sin, and by His intercession should
come everlasting life to whatsoever be-
lieved in Him.
We have noted that the great design
was that men should not perish. and
that the means employed to accomplish
the design was by the gift of the Son.
Next we inquire who were the persons
for whom the design was formed ana
the gift made?
