and majesty, and dominion and power, both now and forever."* If our Unitarian friends admit that these and many similar passages apply to Christ, then their argument is ended, because then Christ is God by their own admission. If they apply such passages to God, then they must confess that it is said of God that there is no Saviour besides himself, and still that Christ is the Saviour of the world, and that his is the only name whereby men can be saved. Then to what other conclusion can we come than that Christ is God? As a further confirmation of the idea that God and Christ are each and both the Saviour, compare the following passages: "And it shall come to pass that

whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be delivered."+ We admit that this passage unmistakably applies to God, and cannot be otherwise applied in this place. But Paul quotes this language and applies it to Christ. "But what saith it, the Scripture?] The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth and in thy heart: that is the word of faith which we preach, that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved; For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed.§ For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek; for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed."|| &c. Here the apostle, without any perceptible sense of an inconsistency, quotes the Old Testament Scriptures, which enjoin a belief in God and prayer to him, and applies them, without scruple, apology or explanation, to the Lord Jesus.

Frederick W. Robertson was born in London, in 18 died in Brighton, in 1853, at the early age of 37.

He had really app a military commission, and had been sometime waiting when he finally yielded to the judgment and solicitation family and others, and accepted the ministry from which 18
