It is the basis of thousands of massive volumes of comment, and not a year passes without new books calling attention to its hidden treasures. Jesus said: “ The words that I speak unto you; they are spirit and they are life.” Have not millions found them exactly that? Have any other words so vitally affected human character? Has a mere man o f Nazareth preached ser mons that have become universalized? Well-known skeptics have admitted that the image of Christ as seen in the New Testament could not have sprung from the consciousness of sinful men. “ It would take a Jesus to forge a Jesus.” The very ordinary men who wrote the Gospels could not have invented such a character nor conceived such teach ings. The records must be regarded as the reflection of the actual life of such a Being, and the writers must have felt and seen the spiritual splendor, or they could not have thus portrayed it. Was the One o f whom they wrote “ the Word made flesh” or just a Galilean reformer? I f He WAS what He claimed to be, we should expect to find an influence that never wanes, a voice that never stills, a fulfillment of His prophetic words that is undeniable. Think that one over! We may well ask: “ What manner of man is this?” TIME’S MASTER PIECE? Is He not the ABSOLUTE CENTER OF HUMANITY—the One completely harmonious man in whom the REAL and the IDEAL meet to be come ONE? Is not GOD best known in CHRIST? Admit these things, and you acknowledge that Jesus was indeed the GOD-MAN! REL IG ION OR CHR IST IAN ITY?

Whenever the spirit of the city, town, or community has this result- upon the church, it is because the members of the church are babes in Christ; carnality, or worldliness, has impeded their growth. That church has no influence in the com munity. Where the Christians are Bible lovers, doers of the Word and not hear ers only, then and then only will their lives be abundant, watered by the liv ing stream, springing up in their in nermost beings, supplied by the Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, there is a form of godliness which denies the power thereof. From such turn away. Come to the light; it | shineth for thee. T H E K I N G ' S B U S I N E S S
