Which ps not another.?Gal. !> . ^ now slipping from thim end' were trying to make a Mwii composite reiigiGji &&MUm that would ,better anion of faith and works. ' || B There is sugges^p|HR ~ Hon that there ^?||3flH was something \ fairly analagous I hotween the Gala ygm ft I tian church and the church of today. When the first c&itury closed there was a deposit of divipe truth left in tho form of some writings by prophets, apostles, psalm' lsts, Jbaerdmen, fishermen and others, all inspired of God. This deposit may be considered from some three different standpoints: First, it was something fchat was for all the world as such, all nations and peoples. It was Intended to be the foundation of the religiosi that the worid needed; and upon it grew up the system of belief which,iwhile varying in different countries and centuries, was substantially the same everywhere, and-should be so today. | TlfjSfj J J B V The ihureh feH heir to this treasure but failed to be true as its custodian. Teachers of theology were like the* Talmudists of old, and receded further and further from the original teaching as the Centuries went by. This 'deposit of truth also was given to the \ individual, for God I never intended that his Book should; be under lock add key. J But )b i.ulte rec^t times the aspects 4-hich that faith presents were greatlylvaried, and are quite different I from tie aspects in a previous time. The departure from the faith may be ft spoken|of under three general propoI aitions: H 1. That faith is still the limit of atB ttck aiPW'liJI '^g mies, although the form of attack has B^L radically changed. K 2. the Word of God on the part of a H^Bvery laIrge number of teachers of reDBiglon ind varfeus subjects in v&icb QBthe church in rits external ^lat^na; particularly are outwardly interested. I W What was the IHlpMjkfedl Hv ligious teaching "The ultimate denial of the supernatural. The result of this KB- with many theological teachers has Wr been in the first place the full accept^ ance of those views, and secondly a kind oi| teaching which leaves the pupil without any positive conviction. A j furtherlresult has been that a generation of younger men educated in seminaries where there was such positive, denial < ? the supernatural, or the hesitating j |nd uncertain?teadiing;-has grown \ j), and is at best uncertain in its com jctions. A stilj further result is that the people of the churches ministered to by such m|n- are ijot informsed as to the great truths of the BiWer and become the eas; jvictim^ralpMhds of heresies such at jChristian'SdCTW, theosophy, etc. Oi i if the?B&v$"n^t^one off into these h< fesies openly) aW^herely existing as pdles of toristians, with few signs oi real lifC* Agrfifcrototal result Is that! ye find^lte ^fhurjh of God today stfdily ind iff e refit sto the vital truths <8 Christianityriapd holding fast to its |?xisten a?big-harvest of - -profitable livestock. j Mr. B.
