DIVINITY OF JESUS THEME 0F SERMON Dr. Edmonds of Indepen- dent Presbyterian Church Continues Doctrinal
 Sermons

Continuing his series of doctrtnal sermons. pr. II. M Edmonds of the Independent Presbyterian church spoke of the "Divinity of Jesus' at the morn ing service at the Temple Emanu hi yesterday
 .Tn attempting a description of the divine in Jesus, one might really ohiy point the way to seeing him, then go away. letting men see for themselves,
 "Instead of describing his image with many words, making the air stri- dent with words, one ought merely 10 say. Look" said pr. Edmonds in part Jesus was given a name above every name. we are told, because his char acter of life was above every other He thought and taught divinely; madc
 His appeal to humanity through the divinity that manifested itself in HIS life
 mrhe human and the divine meet in the personality of Jesus; it was not the human in one instance and LII he divine in another phase. it was the divine in the human. without separa- ton or distinction. Divinity grew up in humanity speaking itself in his flesh We do not call Jesus divine because of the mircles that He per formed; miracles were easy for Him, He was Himself the greatest miracle. MIRACLES OF JESUS "Proving Jesus to be divine by His miracles has proven a stumbling DOCK to many because the miracles nave been put at the door, when they should be on the shelves right and left. Jesus is divine because He reflects God, tGe highest that we think and see. Jesus is universal, as much fem mine as masculine, as greatly oeel- dental as oriental, all of the prince and all of the peasant, realizing there- by how all mankind feels ancient and rodern all comprehensive, under standing.
 ',rhe divinity of Jesus is not vague and mystical. it is substantial 1t re- made all manner of men and women who were touched by Him, all that hap done in progress in the world is due to Him. The world dates back 70 His coming.
 HOLINESS OF GOD "IIe represents inc holiness of God as He walks before us. leading men captive now as in the days of his flesh, and by these tokens we call Him divine. He is the adequate explana- ticn--the answer to life's problems" "The Father of Jesus was the sub- ject of the sermon at the Lyric las. niPnt. mat tne ldeHoT oI JesuS IS the Father of us all was the message that rr Edmonds gave to his hearers.
 Not blind force or an absent landlord who has wound up his ere ated universe like watch and let it go to run it's course. Jesus held up the picture of an interested, loving Father who numbered the very hairs of your head: not a discriminating God who ordained some to salvation ard others to damnation. but who de- sired that none should perish, that all should be saved"
