1.-THE Galilean life of Jesus was not a
sign Of divinity over the sorrows and
sins Of men, but 1t was part of the
et~ernity--long passion of the bleeding
heart OF God.
Tremendous power lived in the
word and works OF Jesus during his
Galilean days, but all eliminated in his
power to forgive sin and renew hearts
Of the lost.

in the death and resurrection Of Jesus.
"In his death, ii was not only that
the earth trembled and the rocks were
rent; but from that moment the cur
rents Of history were changed. In his
resurrection 1t was not that death was
~contradicted and vanquished, but tina
the universe found itself.
but our scripture teaches us that
the tremendous in religion Is revealed
10 us by the Holy Ghost.
1.-THE Holy Ghost Is the author OF re-

which overthrow the rule and dominion
Of the kaiser.
