ternline the fact that His was a
unique personality, the only begot-

An, Unparalleled Gift
And when one thinks that this
unique personality came into ex-
istence because God $50 loved that
He gave, we can begin to appre-
clate that this was an unparalleled
gift. A man might love a friend
very greatly, great enough even to
give up his life. Every mother does
. this potentially when she endangers
her own life in giving birth to her
child; and it is the exceptional
mother whose love is so weak that
she would gladly give her life for
her offspring later. But God COM

the gift that much greater.
An Unlimited Gospel

leans are rather inclined to think
that God loved us a bit better than
He did any one else and made this
gift to us. And from what we know
of the English, We are quite sure
they feel God loved them a bit bet
ter and tolerates others. And the
Japs feel quite the same way about
themselves. The white races are
quite sure God made His marvellous
provision for them, but are a trifle
doubtful about the same gracious
gift belonging equally to the dark
skin, the red man, the yellow races.
The Book is very explicit, how
ever. For God so loved the world"

specting of persons here. There

norant; strong or weak sick or we'll:

that any should perish. He wants
the fellowship forever of every one
in the world. Therefore, His provi-
sion is unlimited. whatsoever" has
no color line, no conditions, no

Yet it is limited; limited to who
soever "believeth." God has done
all that is necessary; He cannot do
more. He cannot do your part, He
