t'i‘he seal of the mmClirlIt.iluis. Where
mild the soul come from—marlin or what
inliplred it? Some early Roman ob-
servers wwta this pool down as obsti—

0' persisted in n'iisludging human
nature and were too blind to see that
to account for soul one must discover
its inspiration.
And the improved doctrine of future
life. Can you dissociate the Christ-
ian message of the life to come. from
Him w said lain the resurrection
and the life—and who in that memor
able talk with the woman at Jacob's
woii told her:
Whoboover drinksth of the water
that I shall give him, shall never
thirst. butthc water that i shall give
him shall be in him a wall springing
up into everlasting life.
One may question how much innu-
er‘icc’ was exotica by the mil-holes of
the early Christians, but one name and
only one name they witnessed to and
the power claimed for them was His
alone. If the morals of Christians
contrasted so noticeably with prevail
iris standards, what wa‘s the rounds
tibn of their moral system and finally
what was the secret of union in
Christian fellowship which astonished
and survived the Roman Empire?
Our questions have been put in im.
personal terms. hut the answer—one
has well saith—is not a matter of
choice-4t is a nocessity—the answer
is found in the. person of Jesus Christ
But not only is history unexplainable
without the incarnate Christ Life to
day could not remain what is is witn-
out Him 4 ,
The great moral and religious force
in our civilization is the religion of thy

too. it needs no new church it needs
new life. new and increasing faith in
its Christ, its Savior. and its‘Cod.
You may claim for Jesus the chief
place among the noblest of human
Christians. You may assert His super-
norc. His unique claim of union with
God——that union which historic Christ~
ianlty celebrates today—Aha Christ
.mas teaching of the incarnation~then
you not only part asunder Christ and
God. but you part asunder God and
man.
But you say Judaismhas God and
Unitarian and other nonorthodox
Christianity has God. Yes we may not
escape c atmosphere of Christianity
altho we may forget. that we
breathe it. it is thought the incarnate
Son of God that we see the veil cast
aside that hid WF‘athor Other men
may look with borrowed eyes and for
got that the veil was ever there.
But if till today we had never had

still be sloping aim I Jewish trans-
cendent God, or lost in the mists of a

Scaroely any truth is set forth with
creator emphasis or more frequently
in the New Testament than this. and
it shows how clearly the early Christ-
inns perceived it
You recur such sayings Is ‘ II the

holds fast to his Christmas truth be-
cause he would hold fast to God. and
ilint is why the church has always held
