REY. DIC TAL THE BROOKLYN DIVINE'S SUN- DAY SERMON. Subject: “Over All Forever.” 3" Text: “Christ came, who is over all Romans ix., 5, For 4000 years the world had been walting for a deliverer— waiting while empires rose and fell. Conquerors came and made the world worse instead of making it better still the centuries watched and waited, They looked for Him on thrones, looked for Him in Jruinees, looked for Him in imperial robes, ooked for Him at the head of armies. At last they found Him in a barn. The cattle stood nearer to Him than the angels, for the former were in the adjoining stall, while the latter were in the clouds, A parentage of peasantry! No room for Him in the inn be- cause there was no one to pay the hotel ex- pense. Yet the pointing star and the angelic cantata showed that heaven made up in ap- reciation of His worth what the world acked. “Christ came, who is over all, God blessed forever, Amen But who is this Christ who came? As to the difference between different denomina- tions of evangelical Christians I have no o cern. If I could by the turning over of my hand decide whether all the world shall at last be Baptist or Methodist or Congregational or Episcopalian or Presbyterian, I would not turn my hand. But there are doctrines which are vital to the soul, If Christ be not a God, we are idolators, To this Christological question I devote myself this morning and pray God that we may think right and do aright in regard to a question in which mis- take is infinite, I suppose that the majority of those to-day assembled believe the Bible, quires as much faith to be an infidel a Christian, It is faith in a different diree- tion. he Christian has faith in the teach- ings of Matthew, Luke, John, Paul, Isaiah, Moses.

Yes, Ho says He is older than that, ‘Before Abraham was, 1 am.” Then Christ says, “I am the Alpha." Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet, and Christ fn that utterance declared, “I am the A of the alphabet of the centtiries.” Then He must be a Can a man bo in a thousand places at onoe? Christ says He is in o thousand places at once, “Where two or three are gathered to gether in My name, there am I in the midst of thew." This everywhereativeness, is it characteristic of a man or of a God? And lest we might think this evervywhereativenoess would cease, He goes on, and He Intimates that He will be in all the cities of the earth He will be in Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South Amerion the day before the world burns up, “Lo, I am with you always, oven unto the end of the world,” Why, then, He must be a God, Besides that, He takes divine honors, Ha declares Himself Lord of men, angels and devils, Is He? If Hols, He is a God, IfHe is not, He is an impostor, A man comes into your stores to-morrow morning, Ho BAYS “I am the great shipbuilder of Liverpool, I have built hundreds of ships.” He goes on to give his experience, You defer to him as a man of large experience and great pos- sessions. But the next day you find out that he is not the great shipbuilder of Liverpool | that he never bullt a saip ; that he never built anything, What is he then? An impostor, Christ says He built this world, He built all things. Did He build them? If He did, He is n God, If He did not, He is an impostor, A man comes into your place of business with Jewish countenance and a German accent and says: “I am Rothschild, the banker, of London, I have the wealth of Nations in my pocket, I loaned that large amount to Italy and Austria in their perplex. ty.” But after a while you find that he has aever loaned any money to Italy or Austria that he never had a large estate; that he is banker at all; that He owns not!
