Keith Ewi-n, one of the evangelists, on Sunday in the liupust C/iureli, uniler till" auspices of the Baptist I'liion, i already creating great interest, bot'i among the members and those accustomed to attend Gill Street C'hurcli. Good congregations have assembled it the different meetings although til weather has not been very favorable. On Monday evening Mr. Kwen dealt with "The Divinity of Jesus Christ," and showed that both the Old and Xew Testaments definitely emphasised the fact that Christ was both God and man "a just God and a Saviour.'' Christ, said Mr. IS wen, is Christianity. The foundation of our faith is a person, and that person is Christ. The person who is referred to in the Old Testament as Creator and Redeemer is Christ. The Old Testament presents God as Creator. John represents Christ as " the" word"; a word is thought in concrete form. Jesus Christ is God's thought presented so that we call understand Ilim; a word is thought clothed; Christ is God manifold in the llesh. The miracles as presented ill the New Testament are signs jliy which the glory of the God man is set forth. Christ was no conjurer. II is miracles were noi simply inanifi'statio is of power to astonish men; they were signs by which His glory was set forth. Mr. Kw'en said he tooit a list of miracles of which Christ was known as the healer to a chemist and asked him what he would think of a physician who was successful in ail these cases. The chemist replied 'that he would certainly be a wonder. That chemist unconsciously paid a high tribute to Christ, almost usiii"' the words of,lsaiah when he described' Christ as' " wonderful." We Wory to-day in proclaiming a wonderful Saviour, who i- able to meet man s deepest need.
