ment, which mortals are striving to penetrate and disclose. Above all, they who conceive of the knowledge of God unto salvation, as a science of positive truth, are the last who ought to assert as of faith, anything which does not appear to be positively certain; the last who ought to be willing to be held accountable for more than it is yet given to mortals to know-much less for the infinite breadth of knowledge which may still lie hid in the Word of God, and the infinite possibilities which may be realized in accordance with it.

7. The Son, as a Person of the Godhead, stands between the Father and the Spirit. With reference to the created universe, he so stands between it and the Father and the Spirit, that the existence of all created things is ascribed in a special manner to him. With regard to the infinite dominion and providence of God-his position is the same, and all power in heaven and in earth is given to him, as head of the Church. Touching the human race this position becomes so special, that a new nameImmanuel-is given to him, a new office-Mediator-is created for him-a new kingdom is erected for him as the Messiah-the Christ. The redeemed come to God, only through him as their Saviour: the damned perish forever under his sentence. Knowledge of this Saviour, is the immense want of humanity; conformity to him, its immense necessity. Considered in this light, two convictions have grown upon me, throughout the whole of my Christian profession. The first is, that the extrication of the simple, living and glorious truth concerning Jesus and eternal life through him, and the presentation of it in its own perfect revealed proportion; is the supreme means of all the good which the Church of God can accomplish on earth. The second is, that this is actually accomplished now, and probably has been accomplished in all ages, in the inward life of God's unknown children, and so in the aggregate life of his Church; to a far higher degree, than is exhibited in the teachings of those who, in all ages, have appeared to men to be the instructors of the saints. If these convictions are just, how immense are the explanations they afford the results to which they point !
