endorsed it all. Thus there were restored to me Christ, God and his
Word of truth. The thing that robbed me of these was rationalism, but
it had been proven false and therefore was ruled out of court.

Unitarians used to tell me that Christ was the Son of God, but we all

upon the life of individuals, communities and nations, is so apparent
and has been pointed out so often that I will give it but a passing
notice. "If any man willeth to do his will, he shall know of the
