At the birth of Christ, the move ments in the heavens above, the earth beneath and naturo all around were such as have not been wit nessed at-the birth of any other man! Peoples from higher worlds gathered and the heavens vibrated with chants of praise; kings trembled on their1 thrones; the learning of the world bowed the knee; saints deserned the Divine in the human and worshiped God, manifest in the flesh; the common people entertained angels and had converse with heaven; motherhood was evaulted forever; honest poverty was mddo honorable; and the Almighty Father lighted another star in the heavens that the seeker after the truth might never Again walk in darkness. All these things are in harmony with the “ eternal fitness of things” if we believe that Jesus Christ was the “only begotten Son of God.” When I say the Apostle’s creed, I declare that I believe that Christ was “conceived by the Holy Ghost.” Let us examine our ground and see if a rational man in the twontieth century can be rational and still say that part of this old confession of the church. Life itself, its origin and all its manifestations, is a mystery. Reason is sure of one thing; that life is not the result of organized matter or of any one or more properties of matter. Science has proved'that life can not originate itself, but that life can only coine from antecedent life. The common man can put these two facts together and say with the conviction arising from common sense that the origin of finite life had its source in the eternal fountain of all life. Grant ing that the creation of man was by the process of evolution, evolution must always be equal to involution. Man can not evolve moro than the possibilities involved by the Creator. The power of generation involved in man must therefore be traced back to the creative source of all life. When the historian says that Christ was conceived by the Holy Spirit, he only declares that the Christ-life came directly from the source of life. Is the direct origin of life from the Absolute life more mysterious than the indirect origin of life by the law of generation? Thus I think all objection to the possibility of such a method of originating life is removed. But is it possible to satisfy the mind of the probability of such an event taking place in the history of any member of our race? To believe such a thing implies an exception, and the only exception, of history. And the rational mind hales exceptions. When tho sacred his torian declares the divine origin of Christ, he invites doubt and it is not a sign of irreverence and depravity for a man to ask for sufficient evi dence in such a case. Not to do so would be stupidity; and not to look for the sufficient evidence in such a case would be morally criminal. The law of harmony is recognized only by accepting the heavenly origin of Christ. That is to say, that as Christ's life and doath woro so evalted above the highest of human ity that there is no way of explaining this fact except by admitting that He came from above. Had we no bible we would know that Christ arose from the dead. We know that he died; and when wo ask this question: “ what became of hia body?” there are only three pos sible answers: It was stolon and concealed by either his enemies or his friends, or it was resurrected from tha dead. We know that his onemies did not possess his body. If so. when tha apostles were disturbing the nation by teaching that this man that thay had slain had proved hia divinity by arising from the dead, these enemies would have silenced them forever by producing Christ’s body, which the apostles were saying they had seen ascend into heaven. We also know that Christ’s apostloaj and friends did not conceal his body ! and then-teach a lie by declaring tho I rosurrection. Human naturo is the1 same always, aud no man will iio when by doing ho invites the loss of all men hold dear in life, aud finally the most cruel death, as did tho apostles and earl) Christians. So, therefore, if we are sure of ono fact o f history, it is that Christ aroso from tho grave, is it hard to believo that one who arose from the sloop of death came directly from heaven? There is no law more universal than that of gravitation. Is there not perfect harmony between Christ’s ascention aud divine origin? He aloDe who had a power within him self to overcome gravitation and rise to heavon may quito naturally have entered the world other ¡ban by the natural law of generation.
