Excerpt from A Farewell Sermon Delivered in the First Presbyterian Church, Ann Arbor, Michigan Thus it must have been in the earthly history of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Hidden by the veil - that is to say, His flesh' - the true divinity of light was seldom seen. The rays which here and there appeared, were thought by most to be but reflections or scintill'ations from a pure character and a noble heart. That this carpenter's son could be God's son, was hard to comprehend. And every error which has since prevailed respecting the person and work of Christ, finds its origin in this short-sighted judgment after the outward appearance. Seldom did He declare Himself in actual words. A Samaritan woman of no reputation, a Jewish ruler of the temple conversing with Him at dead of night, a poor impulsive dis cipic - such as these heard Him announce His true Messiahship. To the wise and the learned and the rich - then as now - the face was a hidden face. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
