Denying the Son of God.
Billy Sunday has joined other evan
gelists and preachers In the slanderous
misstatements that Pastor Russell de-
mics that Jesus is the Son of God. By
such false statements, said the Pastor,
they seek to prevent people from coming
to hear me and from reading my Bible
expositions. Yet how foolish It is for
them to make such deliberate misstate-
ments; for eventually their falsehoods

of the gross Misrepresentation realize
that only desperation, attempting to
support weak cause, could lead men
processing to be ministers Of the Truth
to thus do it violence.
Really, it is l who believe that Jesus
is the Son Of God, while the great ma
Jority of preachers and evangelists do
not clearly so teach. They confuse
their argument and bewilder their
hearers by telling In one breath that
Jesus is the Son of God, and In the
next breath that He is His own Father.
According to them, He is Jehovah
God, who sent His Son into the world
to die, and He Is the Son who sent
Himself, as God. When He prayed to
the Father it was a mockery; for He
was the Father-"one in person"
When he said, 1.-THE Father is greater

according to these preachers, evan
CYCLISTS and creed-makers. He spoke of
the Cup which the Father had poured
for Him, and said He could do nothing
of Himself, and that He would return
to the Father. He prayed, my Godl
