 bers of  so-called  Christians,  under  the  lead  of pseudo-Christian  ministers,  practice  a  religion  that never rises  above  the  purely  natural. They utterly eliminate the  supernatural,  and  if,  perchance,  they revere the  Christ  as  the  ideal  man,  they  absolutely refuse to  adore  Him  as  God.

Brethren, to  prove  to  you  this  doctrine  were  but to offend  your  lively  faith. Your very  presence  here is a  profession  of  faith,  and  joined  as  you  are  in Christian  worship  with  the  millions  who,  to-day, bowed before  Christ's  altar,  you  form  a  link  in  an  infallible chain  of  arguments  proving  Christ's  divinity.

The infinite  distance  between  God's  dignity  and man's nothingness  must  be  the  measure  of  the  guilt of original  sin — an  infinite  offence  calling  for  an  infinite atonement. Now, if  all  the  saints  and  angels
