there has always been light. Our Sa-
vior must first of all be divine, having
all knowledge and power. He must
have also life which can create and
maintain existence. He must also be
light, for dead minds cannot know nor
dead souls see.
II. The Witness wv. 6-1Ol. John the
Baptizer came for q witness He was
not the light Some might have
Thought him 10 be the promised Mes
siah. This he denied He WAS a lamp
which held forth light to men concern
ing the true light (which Iiphteth every
man that compth into the world" He
reflected light ". 81. John told all that
he knew. Testimonv will eXDand as
experience enl1rgeS. The SpOkpl
word M man must confirm the exneri-
encp of the word i'm orr lives John
was wonderful man. q man whom
God delighted TO honor but he was a
man. Men are not asked TO believe
blindlv. bur ALWAYS upon an abundance
of Testimony
