StrangO Words for o1o so poor and suri-ounded by those as poor as himself, if ho did not be liovo that Ie was divine and had no intention of making this im pression upon the multitude. Take his words oil another oc easion: "Philip saith unto mo, lorl, show us the Father an it suflcoth us. Jesus saith unto him, IInvoe I been so long time with you, and( lhast thou not known me, Philip ? Hie that hast seen me has soont the Father, andl how say est thou, show us the Fathor'? IBolievost thon not that I am inl the ["ather and1( th)e Father' in 11no ?" No ono, not even an infidel of the school of Voltaire and of Tom Paine, would say that JosusChriist ever uttered a falschood,or a word iln insin)cerity. The1 Unitarian believes that Jo suts comp)rehlended fully the mean ing of' all that he ever' said, anld that in all of his teachmngs lhe spoke( only wvords of soberness and1 truIth. And~t yet he has the faice to say that t he being who uttered thoe language whIiicht I have quotodl the beintg whlo dleclared htimself' the final judlge andt aribiter of the destinies of' mten-the being wvho satid, "I andl myy lFather aro 01no" ---he thtat hath seen me hath seen the Pather-that lhe did not claim to be divine and (lid not ondeavor' to make thte multltitudes0 believe that lhe was God. Second(ly--lid Jesuis by his teings and1 works actually make the impression both upon0 his one liies and( fr'iends that lie claimed to be God ? iLe was stoned by HiLsonolmics andt for what ? On the very ground that he called himself God. When lhe said, "I andt my Fathter are onto," the Jews stoned1 Him, "Jo suis answuirod them: Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of these works (10 ye stonoe me ? TIho Jews answerod lHm, saying, For'a good wvork we stone tIhoo no'.,but for blas phemy, and because thlat thtou be ing a man mnakest thyself God." If they had mfisunhder'stood His words-if he had nlot designed to teach tat He was God in the floshI, would hto not have informed them of their mistake? But so far from dolnying the charge, lie assured them in the most emphat 10 manner that their construction1 of ii word was correct. When hto stood before te San. hodrim, the high priest said ."I adjuro thoe by the living God tha ADVERTISINC RATES.

Since hearing that remark, I have been on the vatch to see wiheth er it is generally true-and it is.
