Vreaching. ,elligence in the hearers; .and if words and phrases which: , they-do , rstand, they should seek , iriforma- At in these familiar letters !I may explain, or explain as .[.proceed. let me say that the passage above from James i : 18, teaches, as I re in my last, the personality of 'God . ; les to him a will, and ants the result but who ever heard of an impel.- log, or a principle, having a, will, g things as the result. of its-volition ? is said of Gud : Of his own will us. Here is personality. God is -an essence—a conscious existence ,ellipeut being. He has intellect . He has a will of his own 'hie —James i: 18. Hence, having Ice and will, he is a personal being. the world itself, nor merely the ie world, nor yet the only substance nature and mind are the pherio it he is a personal, independent, ant being, who made, and who he world ; working all things after lel of his own will.—Eph. 3 , nfidelity of the present day denies 're is any personal God, any God ly and independently existin,, ,, , ,, any t from sin and independent , of, 'the creation. It teaches that God is —or the soul of the world—or the ,tance of which all things are but la, In some form it teaches that Jog is God, and that God is every Hence it calls GOd the Grist All; 1, God is all. It is-pantheistn, and lot a species ,of, atheism., It may God as the soul of the universe— king all matter and all, space—and ilk very eloquently and very piously od ; and yet it does not believe at all being whom we call God; it4oes ieve in any revelation from acid as, >ecause it holds all men are inspired,, d is in all men and in all things', and, Ire is no God apart from the visible! : literally, no (tod---no God who! real, personal existenoe.—Ps.. xiv. pd yet to hear the pantheist talk, you think him wondrous wise, and won pious too, for he will tell you God is phere and he sees God in everything; ere is something very grand msome conceptions, and very poetic, 'and ptivating; and hence the wide-spread ee of this species of infidelity; and .he danger too that many, very many, : led away by it, especially when we hat it is even now in some of o , r :s and our schools, in our books and in works of science and in novels ;titious trash, in numerous associa• 3 clubs, in lyceums, in libraries, in —very many of the popular lecturers taintcd with it—and even , in the and the devil has his colporteurs lug it 3 productions all over the Donee I have felt it important to you against it, and to guard, you it, by keeping prominently before as great truth. There is a persorial the living and true God. If it is a , thing to believe there is a God, it is a, thing--and a dangerous and, fatal : —to believe there is no tied. And, as' practical purposes, we may as well , e there is no God, as to believe "that las not, or is not, a personal exisi :. -4eee :hid of the, pantheist is .no God,'Son if rorlds wevobletled from*EitateneaAlteP. ibis God would not exist; but the God of the Bible, our God, is a God who exists in and of himself; he existed-before the worlds, and he would exist.if there were no worlds.

This may suffice by way of explanation. You, will now „understand what I mean.by the personality, of 'God. - I mean that God has a real existence of his, own; or, as Paul says: He that cornett). to God must.balieve that,he is, that he netnally and ;really existai : -410. xl:6.
