corning salvation They very ver much mistaken The passage which hider Lyman read here this afternoon would put to silence several very great controversies throughout Christendom If It men would wallie but hut accept that fifth gospel I This remark however Is la merely by Ly the way I come crone back to the tho anniversary that we I e celebrate on this day the resurrection resurrection tion of ot the Lord Lod Jesus Christ ChristI I am nor glad klad that thai there lire are so HO many millions this day lug Int In this ono one great truth of ot thu Christina Christian religion the fact tact of

When the Church ns oS asan an Rn organization organisation to exist when OH nil we wr may say that glorious sun nun set br the tha horizon of at mans mons vision It did dill leave at nt least some

dispensation of ot the tho meridian of or time lime because that dispensation was lIven given about midway between the com COlli of ot the work of at the tho Lord In Inthis title this world by the creation of at Adam and the teal final winding up scene which shall complete the salvation of ot men and Imd tho the thoP redemption P of ot the world I say flay that that dispensation of ot the tho Gospel oc oe occurring occurring currinA midway between these thene two great events was glorious In many respects re respects reo It t was glorious In thin this for tor ono oro thing It brought forth
