"h0w we are united to our blessed Saviour"
There are two ways Of making life, namelY-by
creation and by restoration. We alive in Christ
Jesus, for He says. ~ am the resurrection and
the life, and Paul says to my Romans we are all
sinners In ADAM but not in Adams actual
transgresson but In his spiritual sin. We are all
dead in Adam because the wages OF sin is death.
But God does not punish me because Adam sinned.
No, no. He is not moved by passion as we are, but
we speak OF Him as only we can do 80 humanity as
we know Of Him. He has no hatred In His heart
toward u.s. But we are, nevertheless.


CHILDREN OF WRATH EVEN AS OTHERS


God does not hate man. whom lie has created.
bat he hates sin. which He has not created.
Father Gavazz illustrated this point by mother
picking up her child out or a mud pool into which
IL had fallen even aftor she had warned it OF It's
she may have an intense dislike to the mud and
dellement that covers It, Even 80 God does
not nate us but llo does hate the corruption ana
and restore us to purity again He sent Ills Son into
the world, that whosoever belicyeth in Him might
be saved Hence you see that God gives us that
new llfe and Christ is that lie. God could not
atone for us, for tnat would be contrary to all the
RECONCILIATION with himself for Che sins OF others;
and man could not atone, for he Is the offender.
But Jesus Christ united the two natures-the
and the other on man He could and did atone
for us; .,. Hence YOU see Goa Was , In Christ n1





hence, said the Father, Jesus is my platform. my
pulpit my creed, my hymn book, my all in all.
What ga Christ como into The world ior2 He says
Himself He ca,ne t0dO the will of His Father In
Heaven. And what ia that will. This Is the will OF
God, even our salvation. But to accomplish our
salvation Christ must have had will of His own
Also And this He tells us he had What thenf II
God wills salvation must every one be saved as
the uniyersasts believer NO: no But Christ Christ
grace to believe and to be saved II he WILL Hence
lie says whoscever iveth and believeth in me shall
never die and he that believeth in Me, though he
were dead, yet shall he live


BELEyEST TROU THIs9
The man that comes to Christ Is a dead man until
quickened by the Spirit into a new life. But In
Christ he receives, not only life, but immortality
Also True he may have peace in the world, but It
is worldly peace, which cannot satisfy the soul,
and without God he Is dead In sins. But Christ
says to such Q one. Though he were dead yet shall
he liye Il he believes in me-" We receive that new new
life by faith in Christ. Weare Justified by believing
in Him; and He not only gives us that new and
spiritual lie but he keeps it In u.s. and hence Paul
And while man mas life in hi you can't say he is
dead man. But he has free will, and ts never
a Of sins ana his tsat s the he & esS
Of God WIN not sin because the spiritual seed re-
malneth Ia him B1t II man man falls into tempta- p
ner. And yet If any man sin we have an advocate
with the Father even Jesus Christ, the righteous.
What, then, shall we sin again and repent and sin
and repent againp God forbid In this spiritual
life not to go forward is to go backward Motion is
caused by heat, and heat Is the source OF life. II





and 1t is God who w0rketh in us to will and to
do of His good pleasure. SO that we have God the
mover and the life OF the soul. And the life Is in
the blood But there Is difference in the blood Of
a child and that Of q man. The former is thin and
clear, the latter thick and dark. When we are
first born into the kingdom OF God we are spiritual
babies, and as Paul says, we speak and think as
children. but when we become men we put away
childish things. The Father then eXh0rted the
congregation to take care of the faith that was
delivered to the saints He had found, in his tour
through the United States a strong tendency to
tua 1iuD N n
and be bade them beware Of the beginnings.


RITUALISM MEANS ROMANISM


and Romanism means the putting away OF Christ
and bringing forward saints and angels and virgins
and popes and pictures You know, said he, those
planets that are farthest away from the sun have,
and have need Of great many satellites to reflect
the light OF the sun. But Mercury and Venus have
no satellites. They battle In the pure sunlight.
Therefore, my friends said he keep close to Jesus
and virgins &C., which the Church of Rome pre-
sents to its votaries A collection was taken up
after the sermon for Father Gavazzi's Free Church
OF Italy. The eloquent Father will start for his
home on Wednesday next and yesterday was his
last Sabbath In America.
