ontain, for these are witnesses to the
indwelling Christ who has not left humanity wholly to itself. And let us
make these grains of truth our gateways of access to the heathen heart,
while we show the heathen the larger and fuller truth as it is in Jesus.

Christ alone can solve the problems of the world and reconcile the
warring elements of humanity. He is our peace, who hath made Jew and
Gentile one, having broken down the middle wall of partition, and having
made of the twain one new man, reconciling both to God through the blood
of his Cross. He can make all sects, all parties, all castes, all
nations one; because in him are all the elements of truth which each
possesses, without any mixture of their errors. In him there will be no
longer barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free, male nor female, for he will
bind all together by virtue of their union with himself. The Hindu, for
example, has the truth of God's immanence, but he turns it into
falsehood by denying the correlative and equally important truth of
God's transcendence, making God to be a mere nature-force without
personality, while Scripture recognizes in God both immanence and
transcendence, sees God in all things and through all things, yet above
all things. The Hindu has also the truth of God's incarnation, but he
turns it into error, by denying the permanence of that incarnation, the
divine incarnation in Krishna or Buddha being only a temporary
assumption of humanity which he leaves behind him when he reascends to
his heaven, while Christ takes our human nature into perpetual union
with himself and makes it sit down with him upon his throne. The Moslem,
on the other hand, believes in God's unity and transcendence, but denies
his immanence. His God is far away, not only physically but also
morally, for he is without justice or love. The Moslem holds stoutly to
the truth of God's personality; but he denies the manifestation of that
personality in Christ, and also Christ's personal presence with all
believers. Only Christ can break down the middle wall of partition
between Hindu and Moslem, for he alone has the all-inclusive truth that
will unite them both. And so of all divisions of caste, of color, of
party, of denomination, and of nationality, for he alone is the Way, the
Truth, and the Life, supremely and absolutely fitted to be the Bringer
of Peace to the world.

There is yet another reason why Christ alone can save. Let us remember
always that error is
