CONCLUSION.

It is with feelings of devout regard and veneration for the Supreme Being, that we have approached the subject we have been contemplating in the preceding pages. We make no pretensions to any ability to comprehend the uncreated existence of the Infinite and Holy ONE. All such pretensions, we

esteem folly and blasphemy.

It may not be improper to say, that some who are Trinitarians, nominally, carry their views so far as to give up the doctrine entirely, and take the

ground they most strenuously oppose; and, in fact, are in sentiment Unitarians. The moment we deny the distinction between the Father and the Son, and assert that they in all respects are the same being, that moment we are on Unitarian ground, with this difference, that they hold thus of the Father.

It matters not whether we consider the Father, Son, or Holy Spirit, the only proper Deity. If we lose sight of the distinctions of persons in the Trinity, we take the side of Unitarianism, or Socinianism, which differs somewhat from the views of modern Unitarians, as we have already shown. If we declare the Son to be God, to the exclusion of the personality of the Father and Spirit, not acknowledging them at the same time to be God equally with the Son, we overreach the doctrine of the Trinity, and become supporters of the doctrine we oppose. We are represented as holding that "the very and Eternal Father died on the cross," and then we are tauntingly asked, "Who supported the universe while God was dead?" We deny holding any such doctrine. We constantly make the distinction between the persons of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. We do not believe that the Eternal God died, but we do believe the human body of the Lord Jesus died, and this is one reason why we believe in the humanity of Christ, for we cannot believe that Divinity could bleed and die. We confidently believe our Lord and Savior, in his divine nature, to be God with the Father and Holy Ghost, and therefore we make no distinction in the worship

we render him or them. We do not bow our knees a little way to Christ, and then bow them down to the Father, but we bring them down, right down, at the name of Jesus Christ. And we do hope, when this mortal life shall close, to bow with all them that are sanctified in Christ Jesus, and offer unceasing and undivided praise to GOD, the FATHER, GOD, the SON, and GOD, the HOLY SPIRIT, in a world that shall never end.

HYMN.--Praise to God.

Jesus, thy love shall we forget,
And never bring to mind,
The grace that paid our hopeless debt,
And bade us pardon find.

CHORUS.

Our sorrows and our sins were laid,
On thee, alone on thee;

Thy precious blood our ransom paid,
Thine all the glory be.

Thy life of grief shall we forget,
Thy fasting, and thy prayer-
Thy locks, with mountain vapors wet,
To save us from despair?

Gethsemane, shall we forget,
Thy struggling agony,

When night lay dark on Olivet,
And none to watch but thee?

Shall we the platted crown forget,
The buffeting and shame-
When hell thy sinking soul beset,
And earth reviled thy name?

The nail, the spear, shall we forget?
The agonizing cry?

My God-my Father, wilt thou let

Thy Son forsaken die?

Life's brightest scenes, we may forget,

Our kindred cease to love,

But he who paid our hopeless debt,
Our constancy shall prove.
