only a lam mil story like that of Horn
uirs. \ close investigation reveals
the fact that these theories bear the
trademarks of hell. On the other
hand, the facta substantiate Peter’s
remark. "Thout are the Christ, the
Son of the Living Hod." The Bible
says. “Mary, tlr.iu shalt bring forth
a Son who n me shall bo Jesus, and
He shall save His people.Fhis is

did the things only (Sod corhl do. He
founded tie- church. H is the
i ’.lurch’s foundation and her defender.
He is 'li* world - Savior. "This is
Christ the Savior of the world. John

Savior of the world." 1 John. 4: It.

yet, without pay, He made the lame ;
to walk and healed the sick. H* pre- 1
sented the prim iples of justice, which i
are becoming the basis and are on* <
tering into the letter and spirit of
the law of all nations. Statutes are j i
huilded and constitutiona founded t
upon them. The words He uttered in 1
ity or country, mountain or vale hold ; \
primacy over all discourses ever spo
ken by human lips. The foundation j t
>f the world's institutions rest on j 1
•hem. Before them the wicked fall,
the righteous rise, the wise are awed I
and humbled. Souls are comforted, j
T.eered. warned and given peace. His 1
words are pardon and merev to the I
sinner, and a lighthouse to the one
in doubt. He offered eternal life to '
the faithful. He said. Follow me. I
am the Way. the Truth and the Life, i
He has inspired the world’s greatest
music The most sublime music ever 1
penned by man or heard by mortal
ears were written to praise Him. A
hook written without a word from
Him dies in a short time, while His
Word, the Bible, lives on. r.nd each
year millions are sold. The finest con
cept of human mind ever caught by
tlie painter’s brush and carried to the
canvas was inspired by Him. No
statesman of any nation or of any age
has so widely, so profoundly or so
abidingly influenced the affairs of
states or the destinies of nations, or
stirred the constructive genius of the
race as the Son of (Sod Jesus Christ.
Above all. He lived a sinless life.
There was no fault or sin in Him. In j
purity, holiness and integrity of soul 1
He stands alone in all history. It** is
Hod's Son, tlie world's Savior. Is
He yours? Kvory knee shall bow and
every longue shall conless His name.
Tlie worlds greatest question linds
it: answer in Christ, the Son of the
living Hod lie is .ill the soul could
wish He is Hod incarnate.
"All hail the power of Jesus' name.
Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem
And crown Him Lord of all."
