THE KING'S BUSINESS
It is an essential doctrine of the Word of God and our Standards, that Christ offered up Himself as a sacrifice to satisfy divine justice and to reconcile us unto God. It is an essential doctrine of the Word of God and our Standards concerning our Lord Jesus Christ that on the third day he rose again from the dead with the same body with which be suffered, with which also be ascended into heaven, and there slttetb at the right band of God the Father, making intercession. It is an essential doctrine of the Word of God as the supreme standard of our faith that our Lord Jesus Christ showed bis mighty power and love by work– ing mighty miracles. This working was not contrary to nature, but superior to it.
DR. A. GORDON MacLENNAN
The issue being thus brought to a clear, sharp head, the debate began, limited to ten minute speeches from the floor. Mr. Bryan spoke with ·his usual eloquence and power, taking his stand unflinchingly for the minority report. "Where in the life of Christ," he demanded, "can you find any preference given to peace and unity in place of truth 1 Let us show that we believe in the standards of our faith as handed down in 1910. Let us again reiterate them, or let us repeal these essentials if we desire to repeal them." With Dr. MacLennan and Mr. Bryan stood Dr. Clarence E. Macartney, pastor of the Arch Street Church of Philadelphia, and a solid phalanx of ministers and elders who were unflinchingly determined that the crown shpuld not be torn from the brow of our Lord Jesus Christ.
