SPIRITUAL RECEPTIVITY
“Happiness is a per-
fume you cannot pour on other people
without getting a few drops on your-
self.” Of all the people we know how
many of them can we truthfully say are
happy. Dr. Henry C. Link says “happi-
ness is not a gift, or an accident but
something we create.’
on, attend to my words; in-
ine ear unto my sayi Proy
We can never
find happiness until we forget ourselyes.
Happy is the man that findeth wisdom”
says the writer, May we not forget
that “the fear of the Lord is the be-
of wisdom.” Apart from God
happiness cannot be; nor can we be
said to haye found God until we have
discovered our neighbor. A life en-
gaged in a search for wealth, pleasure,
power, and place will be one that will
never find happiness.

“Eetrnal vigilance is the price of
safety.” Thus runs the old saying. In
no place is it truer than in the citidel
of a man’s own soul. We must be
constantly on the guard against the foes
arrayed against us. Envy, malice, strife,
wrath, meanness, bitterness, rancour,
seli-esteem, selfishness, lust, back-bit-
ing—the list is long and imposing. We
need have no fear of human foes; they
cannot harm us. Control must be with-
in. We remember the words of Pro-
verbs: “He that is slow to anger is
better than the mighty; and he that
ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a
city.”
Prayer: Our Father in Heaven, help
us to be watchful at all times. Give us
strength to resist the evil within and
without. In Jesus name. Amen.

The Occasion
vice concerning their practice in the
relations of life and their offering of
meats to idols. The eighth chapter of
First Corinthians records the beginning
of Paul's answer and the theme of his
reply may be seen in the sixth verse
and may be used by all Christians at all
times. For we believe “Yet there is
to us one God, the Father of Whom are
all things and we unto Him, and one
Lord Jesus Christ by Whom are all
things and we by Him.”
Our Purpose
The Holy Trinity being one of the
doctrines of the African Methodist
Church and clearly announced in the
first article of religion, I propose in this
discourse to give a_ theological and
scientific treatise of this doctrine. The
Holy Trinity persents the fatherhood
of God, the sonship of Jesus Christ
and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit,
| three persons but one being. The Af-
| rican Methodist Episcopal Charch be-
nouncement which has been submitted
as a system of doctrine known as our
theology. In this system of doctrine
we discuss God, man, sin, Christ and
redemption. It is not my purpose to
discuss all five of the phases of theology.
I shall attempt to speak briefly of the
text.
“Yet there is to us one God, the
Father of Whom are all things
and we unto Him, and one Lord
Jesus Christ by Whom are all
things, and we by Him.”
T Cor. 8:6.
The being and nature of God is a
subject overwhelming to the mind. Be-
cause of the height, depth and breadth
of the subject it is beyond the compass
of the Mind of Man. It is at the base
of all things, all religion, and all right
thinking. When we think of this sub-
ject there are some things which we
can know and which we need to know
and keep ever in our minds, in order that
we may properly adjust ourselves to
our place in the universe and thereby
The idea
by all just reason. There is,
and of necessity must be a God greater
in all directions than the entire Created
Universe. The idea is deeply inlaid in
our nature and iy accordance with all
its mental activities, to the extent that
the denial of this idea comes upon the
soul like a hurricane, tearing up all
that is deeply rooted in its consciousness
and most vital to the soul’s peace.
When we read the Articles of Religion;
the first Article says: There is but one
living and true God, everlasting, with-
out body or parts, of infinite power,
wisdom and goodness; the maker and
preserver of all things visible and in-
-The Corinthians wished Paul’s ad-
Gods,

but one Almighty and Supreme Goy,
“Though there be those who are calleq
Gods, to us there is but one God.” |,
this one Supreme and Almighty Go,
being and manifestation. This plura}
complex manifestation of Being gave
rise to arguments and debates prior
to and at the Council of Nice A. D, 325,
This Council gave us the doctrine of
the Holy Trinity or the first Article of
Religion.
The doctrine of the Trinity is but ay
outgrowth of the truth established jn
the text. “Yet there is to us one God,
the Father of Whom are all things and
we unto Him, and one Lord Jesus Christ
by Whom are all things, and we by
Him.” The Father, Son and Holy
Spirit constitute a threeness in one and
a oneness in three. This is our belief
concerning the infinite and unsearcha-
ble object of our faith and worship.-The
three are not one in precisely the same
sense that they are three. This would
undermine all of our mental fabric of
mathematics. We mean that God is
one in the sense of substance and He
is three in the sense of person. ; To
fully define substance and personality
is difficult. These are so far beyond
our imaginary reasoning until we feel
exhausted when we have feebly indi-
cated the truth. Those who have tried
to define substance and personality
found themselves upon a sea without
bottom or shore.
The Athanasian Creed contains the
most, the clearest and the best the
Church has said on substance and per-
sonality. In it we read: “The true
Christian faith is this; that we worship
one God in trinity, and trinity in unity ;
neither confounding the person nor
dividing the substance. For there is
one person of the Father, another of
the Son, and another of the Holy
Ghost ; but the God head of the Father,
of the Son and of the Holy Ghost is
all one, the glory equal, the majesty co-
eternal, Such as the Father is, such
is the Son and such is the Holy Ghost :
the Father uncreate, the Son uncreate,
and the Holy Ghost uncreated; the Fath
er incomphehensible, the Son incompre-
hensible, and the Holy Ghost incompre-
hensible; the Father eternal, the Son
eternal, and the Holy Ghost eternal.
And yet they are not three eternals,
but one eternal. As also there are not
three uncreates nor three incompre-
hensibles, but one uncreate and one in-
comprehensible. So likewise the Father
is Almighty, the Son Almighty and the
Holy Ghost Almighty; and yet these
are not three Almighffes, but one Al-
mighty. So the Father is God; the
Son is God, and the Holy Ghost is God;
and yet they are not three Gods, but
one God. So likewise the Father is
Lord; the Son is Lord and the Holy
Ghost is Lord, not three Lords, but one
Lord.
Distinction Between Persons
“The Father is made of none, neither
created, nor begotten. The Son is of:
visible. In unity of this Godhead, there
are three persons of one substance,
power, and eternity,—the Father, the
Son, and the Holy Ghost.”
‘The eternal source of all things whom

}Our sun is very small compared with
one of the really big suns. This scient-
jist also tells us that Betelguese, one of
the really large suns, is so large that
25,000,000,000 suns like ours could be
comfortably packed away inside of this
sun. Take any of the thirty-thousand
millions of suns and you can find three
in one and one in three.
our sun'‘and in it is material orb, light
radiating from the orb, and warming
heat emitting through the rays of light.
Three things distinguished from each
other, yet these three-orb-light and
heat are one.

is still another, with other properties;
and each separately and three conjoint- —

thinking of the grand centre of the Jog
pleanetary system calls it the sun; a
physicist standing where the rays of
sunshine pour down upon him, says that
he is standing in the sun. The electri-

heat and says the sun is hot. Man dis-

sun. They are distinguishable and yet
the same sun.

HISTORY OF KIRBY’S NATURAL IRON TONIC, M. M.
This remarkable mineral deposit was discovered by a colored
man while digging a ditch. He noticed a peculiar grayish color of clay.
He discovered that by its coming in contact with air and water its
color became reddish. As this man worked several days his skin be-
came wet with reddish liquid in the ditch, minor skn irritations from
which he had been bothered for some time was noticeably helped
The news went out from this man about what had occurred to him

Definition of Person and Infinite
The word “person” denotes a being
characterized by self knowledge and by
self determination or will. In the not-
mal personality feeling is also doubtless
fundamental. By the term “infinite” is
indicated the fact that the person here
contemplated has no limits which are
either self imposed or demanded by his
perfection.
In discussing the infinite Sheldon
gives an explicit assumption that only
the infinite is great and that there is
but one step between the infinitely
great and the infinite void. Spinoza
gives a formula for this assumption say-
ing: “Omnis determinatio est negatio.”
During the 19th Century there was a
vainglorious gnosticism which was fol-
lowed by a boastful agnosticism during
the 20th Century. Shelling and Hegel
in their aim and achievement of philoso-
phy attempted an all embracing meta-
morphosis of the absolute. As their
speculation became manifest there came
a revolt against their fundamental as-
sumptions. The reaction brought about
an extreme opposition. Where Shelling
and Hegel claimed to know God to

cism.
But we African Methodists believe
what is written in the text that there i
to us one God, the Father of all things.
“For God so loved the world that He
gave His only begotten Son, that who-
soever believeth on Him should not
perish but have everlasting life.”
The Person Christ
The author of the Epistle to the He-
brews in the first chapter in the first
yerse said, “God who'at sundry times
and in divers manners, spake in time
past unto the Fathers by the prophets,
Hath in these last days spoken unto us
by His Son, Whom He has appointed
heir of all things, by whom also He
made the world; Who being the bright-
ness of His glory, and the express image
of His person, and upholding all things
by the word of His power, when He
had by Himself purged our sins, sat
down on the right hand of the Majesty
on high: Being made so much better
than the angels, as He hath by inherit-
ance obtained more excellent name than
they.” From this passage in Hebrews
we see that Christ is not only a person
but the only begotten Son of God and
heir to the Kingdom of Grace and
Glory. And as heir it is impossible for
man to obtain anything from the Father
but through Jesus Christ His Son.
Therefore, it is clear that the person of
Jesus Christ presents two natures:
