 f. Sermon Follow the Leader"- a line on the treatment of this subject Adam had made a fool of himself and had got himself and all his chill sense of his own importance he. by an abuse of his God-given physical free. dom deliberately rebelled against his maker. By this act he deprived him. self and all humanity of the privileged supernatural life of grace superadded to his natural life conditioned for it's permanence and transmission to pos terity on his practical recognition of God as a Father by grateful child-like service.
 Now as a small boy who wantonly kills a sweet-singing canary bird may cry his eys out but can never bring back life into the little feathered body. so neither could Adam by even 900 years of repentance breathe into the soul of humanity the supernatural life he had destroyed.
 Adam proved himself a poor leader and an impossible Redeemer of hu- manity. Neither he nor any possible finite Being could ever repair the in- suit against an Infinite Being or re- store the human race to its pristine privileged condition of Divine Adop- tiOn.
 God infinitely good might pardon Adams sin and undo it's work; this would exalt the nobility of Gods love but the claims of infinite justice would be left unrequited. Now the wisdom of God invented means of concilia- ting the claims of justice and love by promising Himself to come on earth invested with the disgraced human nature and in and through that human nature to avenge the outraged honor of the Divinity and redeem man kind. Christmas 1915 years ago the world saw the fulflment of this mys- tery for the Word was made Flesh and dwelt amongst us" Jesus Christ is the New Leader of humanity and all must Follow the leader"
