were woakIngs or aliens.
Turning To the New Testament we
find the twin doctrine of the divine

From all this we note, among
others, two vital truths. And the FIRST
truth is this-that breadth ana tolcr-
anCe are an essential quality I'm the
character of the follower of the
ChriSt-the man who is to have ms
part in the establishment of the city
Of God. The second is that there is
no solvent of ethtc prejudice, no
overcomer Of the obstacles reared by
selfishness and false traditions, ana
no unifier of sentiment feeling, i'm

we are sure that he can do for MS that
which alone our God can do, and we
are constrained, by our intellect. to
say "Jesus is a great master" BY
our moral faculty Jesus is good
man" But i'm his intimate presence.
as he bids us be at peace, thy sins
are forgiven thee, we can say Jesus
is the Lord"
Those who argue more Clevcrly
than we can may seek to show that
we are mistaken to convince us that
Jesus is but master i'm the sense
