human race . How then could it be denied that he was preeminently the Logos ( wisdom ) of God , seeing all the wise , in every age , had been partakers of the divine Logos—wisdom ? What Abraham and Socrates possessed , Jesus surely enjoyed , and that without measure . Jestis then W £ ls the divine Logos . Now , it was in due time added , the Logos of God was the Soti of God ,
because generated of himself , —as speech may be termed the son of the understanding . But the son of God must be God , as a fay from the sun must , like its source , be liaht . And by this process , the man Christ Jesus came to be raised to an equality with his creator . We may learn from this detail , not only that a prevalent mysticism lent its aid to the corruption of the Gospel ;
but that the deification of our Lord was not a sudden effort , but a lengthened process . The doctrine of Christ ' s deity grew up by degrees , and crept almost insensibly into the Church . Otherwise , it could scarcely , notwithstanding the circumstances favourable to its introduction that we have noticed , have been established at all . As it is , we can trace the whole of the work

Oh \ lead me by thy hand where living streams Of purest pleasure flow , and to the heart A fadeless and eternal hope impart ; And kindle in my soul the holy beams Of heavenly light , which o ' er the cares and woes And toils of earth shed such a blessed
peace—Bid earth's vain fears and vainer sorrows cease , And one blest trust the trembling thoughts enclose * So shall I gaze with eye undimm'd , and calm , On the vain pageants of this fleeting scene—So shrined in faith unchanging and serene , Drink deep from fountains of the holiest balm , Those living waters ! Let me hear thy voice Call to their sources , and I will rejoice . « # . E . Iv .
