In the first place, I remarz that Christ's
rations were necsssary, because man’s
$eue was an impossibility except by the
Jeymens of some great sacrifice. Outraged
law bad thundered against iniquity. Man
must die unless a substitute can intercept
that death. Let Gaoriel seep forth. He re-
fuses. Let Micaael the archangel step forth.
He refuses. No Roman citizen, no Athe-
nian, no Corinthian, no reformer, no angel
‘vo untz2ered. Christ then bared His heart to
the y ang. Ee paid for our redemption in
“tears and blood and wounded feet and
