Slnce the possibility of mud being made into such won ders as Ruskln suggests, how much more God can do in a spiritual sense now in making the body the temple of the Holy Spirit. So that the feet of its progress can walk in God’s ways; the hands of its labor can do God’s work; the tongue of its utterance can Bpeak God’s Word; the heart of its love can love God’s saints; the arms of its affection can carry God’s lambs; the ear of its attention can listen to the cry o f the needy for the Bread of Life; the head of its thought can think along the line of God’s purpose; the back of its strength can lift on to its shoulders the burden of God’s blessings; the soul of its love can sympathize with the world in its need to supply to it the Gospel of God’s salva tion, and the whole of its constituents can be sanctified with the unction of God’s holiness.

Yet, strangely enough, there are people who will allow this great foundational doctrine to be discredited and rejected, and will keep their lips sealed. How can they do so? Did Christ act in this lrenical way when the Pharisees accused him of casting out devils in the name of Beelzebub? Did Paul sit at ease when the Judalzing teachers perverted the true Gospel of salvation by grace, and when the anti- nomlans took a base advantage of the doctrine to serve their own lusts? Did not Jude earnestly bid us to "contend earn estly for the faith” ? In this crucial hour when, not Christianity itself is in danger, but when souls are in peril through dangerous teaching, let us not perch on the top rail of the fence like sleeping fowls, but let us get down in the arena, stand firm fo r ’the truth, defend it, proclaim it, explain it, fight for it, show its beauty and rationality, and expose the bareness and baldness of the opposing errors.
