I believe, therefore, that I cannot do
better than to relate to yon the "Old.
Old Story," of the love of God mani
fested In Christ, the Redeemer. My

word of life, which bad well-nigh
been lost during the darker agea and
Ince; for many of you may be aur
prlsed to know that the vaBt majority
of people lo Christian land have very
light conception of the love of Ood.
Indeed, I am sorry that It la true, but
the faith of many Christian, aa ei
pressed In their creed, la more terri
ble, more God dishonoring than are
the beliefs of any heathen In the
whole world.
I am glad to toll you, however, that
n.ti vnrv few Deonle In Christian
land any longer believe their own
creed. I know not now mncn oi

Many of them give liberally, wnciner

because of not having heard of

know what they believe, 'ine amoe
of the "dark ages" -till prevalla to
uch an extent that their eye of un
derstanding cannot aee "the length

the depth of the love of God, which
pusseth all understanding." iney no
know, however, that, although they
are fallen from God' linage through
sin, they etlll have too mucn or in
God like qiinllty of love to torture any
body, or even dumb brute; bonce thoy
realize that there must be some mis
take In the creeds which they have ao
long posnessed, which consign all ex

Now Look at Our TxL
Note In our text tho term of

fore the augela uttered tnose worua
God gave the aaiue Measage of hope
and Joy to Father Abraham. Let those
of till audience who are Mohamme

the promise to which I refer. It waa

upon the race would ultimately be

Neither Jacob nor Kuan wa the prom

they al tain eternal life for theuiuolvea.
Tho IMvIno I'urposo looked down to

that our degradation came through he

"a by a man came death, by a man

story of coming restitution. See bl
plain statement of tbe matter in "
III, 10-23.
A Redemptive 8aorlflce Necessary.
w must not forget that In the Dl-
vinA srranaement a sacrifice for sins
waa necessary. Because of his diso
bedience, Adam wail condemned to
noi.th. hut not to eternal torment, as
nmiii mlainltenlv declare. Bis
race in blm, wheu he sinned, anareu
hi. tumnitv hence we are a dying race
-mentally, morally and physically
wrecked. God could not jusuy sei
a.Ma HI own sentiments and declare
u worthy of Ills favor and Its gift of
eternal life. But slnco nil came into
this condemned condition through one
man" disobedience. It wn possible
that all should be released from the
death sentence through tbe sncrince or
one Ilcdeemor. "As pll In Adam die,
even ao all In Christ shall be mane
alive, every man In his own order."
I Corinthians xv. 22, 23.
Here we have an Important ques
tions Ha a Itedeomer been provided
so that God can Justly permit Messiah
to awaken tho sleeping member of
our race and to uplift all out of sin
and death, baelt to human perfection
and an earthly Eden, world wide? The
answer Is, Yes. Jesus lert His neav
li Horv and was made flesh, "Hint
He by the grace of Ood should taste
death (not eternal torment! tor every
man." (Hebrews 11, 9.1 HI reward of
tbe Father was a glorious exaltation
to the right band of Divine Majesty,
fur nhnve anccls. principalities and
power." Thus He wn qualified to
rule and to bles those whom Ills
Aitath redeemed.
Why. then, doe tho Messianic work
delay! Why did Jesus not Immediate
ly begin the work of restitution? The
Bible answer tho question most clear
ly. It assure u that bcrore mat wor
ran lieuln there must bo aelcetod from
amongst men. by a pcil call and by
special tests, a saintly class, a "little
flock." to whom It la the Father's good
pleasure to give tho Kingdom In Joint

demner. So. then, what remain I for
all of this class to finish their course
with Joy and then, by the First Resur
