THE RELIGION SANCTIONED BY HIS NAME. 1. There was never a time when it did not exist here on earth. 2. If it were destroyed no other religion would take its place. 3. If another could, by what means would you crush this? 4. And if it could be crushed, what would become of the world then: would life be worth living? II. THE HONOUR OF HIS NAME. As long as a redeemed sinner is to be found, so long will the honour of Christ's name endure. And so of — III. THE POWER OF HIS NAME. For it alone gives peace, purity, triumph in death. Let all other names perish, as they will: but this never. ( C. H. Spurgeon.)
