God, and hisg wonderful Plan of Sal- vation through Christ. Satan uses as his tools the very best of humani that hecanbring underhisoon and nothing a more evident than that he has completely deluded the heath- en world with what the Apostle terms; “doctrines of devils.” Not only so. but to the extent that he was able" to do so, he has evidently worked mischief with “various reforms- However, I should not be misunder- stood as making an attack upon any creed, or u n the adherents of any creed. Ra er, I suggest that we may well look with sympathy upon all the' various creeda and sects, realizing that God’s people have been in Baby- lonish confusion for now many cen- turies. Did not the Apostle tell that a great falling away would come? (II. Thessalonians ii, 3.) Should we ythenbesurprisedifwe findhisvnrds have come true, that for fifteen hunJ dred years the Church of Christ has been deeply entangled with errors and superstitions, which make void the Gospel of Christ? Let us not then stop to find fault with our foretatherrs, and to upbraid them; let us rather, so far as possible, assume their hon- esty, their sincerity. Let us take the Bible standpoint, and realize that the dimculty has been the power of our Adversary, the Devil, and that he has deluded and ensnared, not only the heathen world, but to a considerable extent Christendom.

By no means; we have already too many theologies; we have already too many sects or divisions of Christ! We want no more! Christendom is awak- ening to the fact that the various conflicting creeds cast discredit on the Bible. The creeds of Christendom universally discredit each other by their interpretations, and universally they discredit the Bible, which would be surely a most ridiculous book, it- it taught all the various conflicting dogmas. We are not here to claim a new revelation, making void the Word 01 God through Jesus and the Apostles; we are not here to twist and turn their words to make them appear to mean what they do not say. We are here to show that the Bible taken in its simplicity. and allowed to in- terpret itsell. is the most wonderful book in the world, and that the Di- vlne Plan of Salvation therein set forth is soul-satisfying and, as the Scriptures declare, sufficient. "that the man 01 God may be thoroughly furnished unto every good word and war ." l We, dear friends, are living in day in which the leading minds of the world are rejecting the Bible and lits message in all the great colleges lot the world; yea in the theological aeminaries also, the Bible is clased as antique. Professed faith in the Bible, as the inspired Word of God, to-day calls forthp eneers of ridicule ‘and the comment that such believers ‘are “unlearned. ” But, my hearers, I am before you wâ€"day to contend that it is not ythe “Gospe l of Christ” that is being rejected by the intelli- gence of the3 world, but another Gos- pel that came, not from Christ, neith- er from the Apostles, neither is it taught in the Bible. I am here to claim, and to endeavor to prove that the Bible is eminently logical, thor- oughly reasonable, and that the mes- sage it bears to those who have “ears to hear,” is the most wonderful mes- me that could possibly be presented to human heads and hearts.
