le   THE THREE THEMES IN WHICH I MOST BE- _  
°'   LIEVE-4ONE GOD, OUR RESPONSIBILITY  
    TO HIM AND LIFE AFTER DEATH.

lg   We believe there is only one God. What right have  
"1·   we to this belief? Since Heaven, earth and all they l
3‘   contain, from the most minute and insignificant things A
ld   used by man to the inconceivable grandness enjoyed by  
St   angels, were created by some supreme being or beings, ’
ld   might we not as rightly believe that there were three or _ .
iu   more co-operating in this grand creation just as well as if
ng   - believe there was the one only? `,
nd   No, we have a Book, an inspired volume handed down ·  
m·   to us through the lapse of many centuries which teaches 1
me   that there is the one God who created Heaven, earth and f 
m'   all that in them is. \Vithin this Holy Book, the Bible, ·”
`Gd   we find saints who, being tried by the den of roaring  
ihg   iil·_     lions,by starving times ot destructive i`a1nine,by gushing I  
no   wounds of bloody war, by seething fiames of ardent fire, .
mn   stand forth as pure gold, in which there is no dross, tes- l'
*9*1   tifying of one all—wise, omnipotent being—~the God of 1
l" ’   Heaven. \Ve have one saying, "'1`lie Lord shall he king ‘%
lm`   over all the earth: in that day shall there be one Lord, il ‘
the   and Hiscname one." Another, "There is none good, but i
lion Nj one, that is God." Today the number is great who, op- ,
mb  rn; pressed by necessity, and burdened with care, give to  
UG? Y  the world in their walks. and in their conversations, the ,
img   testimony of the one God in whom they trust. Since  
one   God breathed the breath of life into Adam there has  
and   existed an instinct in all human beings which tells them (
’f 8*   there is some supreme being to whom they owe their l
  existence. The heathens, unsupplied with divine teach-  
r.   ,`,A.   U ings, worship gods of wood and stone, but all is vain,
