TO CHRIST. A SERIES OF PAPERS BY JOHN MONRO GIBSON, M.A., D.D. 66 AUTHOR OF 'THE AGES BEFORE MOSES," 'THE MOSAIC ERA," 66 ROCK VERSUS SAND," ETC. "One is your Master, even Christ.' Second Edition. LONDON: JAMES NISBET & CO., 21 BERNERS STREET. MDCCCLXXXIX. BR121 G45 1889 THE The increasing disposition to revert to "the simplicity that is in Christ" is one of the most encouraging signs of the times. That it is in this direction we must look most hopefully for the manifestation alike of the unity of the Church and of the power of the Gospel, has long been the writer's belief, and is the aim of these pages to show. Those who are in sympathy with this view will need no explanation of the prominence given to the Lord's Prayer, and the frequently recurring reference to it. If only the deepest desires of all the followers of Christ were such as find expression there, the Church would speedily "look forth as the morning, fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners"—the visible embodiment of Christianity according to Christ.
