   trace their pedigree�察�if they could trace it through sixty centuries��
   to one man and one woman。 No doubt in the vast period of six thousand
   years immense varieties of races have gradually been developed。 Hot
   climates and cold climates have affected the colour and physical
   peculiarities of nations。 Civilization and culture have produced their
   effect on the habits�察�demeanour�察�and mental attainments of the
   inhabitants of different parts of the globe。 Some of Adam's children in
   the lapse of time have been greatly degraded�察�and some have been raised
   and improved。 But the great fact remains the same。 The story written by
   Moses is true。 All the dwellers in Europe�察�Asia�察�Africa�察�and America
   originally sprang from Adam and Eve。 We were all ;made of one blood。;

   Now why do I dwell on all this�拭�I do it because I wish to impress on
   the minds of my readers the plenary inspiration and divine authority of
   the Book of Genesis。 I want you to hold fast the old teaching about the
   origin of man�察�and to refuse steadily to let it go。

   I need hardly remind you that you live in a day of abounding scepticism
   and unbelief。 Clever writers and lecturers are continually pouring
   contempt on the Old Testament Scriptures�察�and especially on the Book of
   Genesis。 The contents of that venerable document�察�we are frequently
   told�察�are not to be read as real historical facts�察�but as fictions and
   fables。 We are not to suppose that Adam and Eve were the only man and
   woman originally created�察�and that all mankind sprang from one pair。 We
   are rather to believe that different races of human beings have been
   called into existence in different parts of the globe�察�at different
   times�察�without any relationship to one another。 In short�察�we are coolly
   informed that the narratives in the first half of Genesis are only
   pleasing Oriental romances�察�and are not realities at all� �Now�察�when you
   hear such talk as this�察�I charge you not to be moved or shaken for a
   moment。 Stand fast in the old paths of the faith�察�and especially about
   the origin of man。 There is abundant evidence that Moses is right�察�and
   those who impugn his veracity and credibility are wrong。 We are all
   descended from one fallen father。 We are ;all of one blood。;

   It would be easy to show�察�if the limits of this paper permitted�察�that
   the oldest traditions of nations all over the globe confirm the account
   given by Moses in the most striking manner。 Geikie�察�in his Hours with
   the Bible�察�has briefly shown that the story of the first pair�察�the
   serpent�察�the fall�察�the flood�察�and the ark are found cropping up in one
   form or another in almost every part of the habitable world。 But the
   strongest proof of our mon origin is to be found in the painful
   uniformity of man's moral nature�察�whatever be the colour of his skin。
   Go where you will on the globe�察�and observe what men and women are
   everywhere。 Go to the heart of Africa or China�察�or to the remotest
   island of the Pacific Ocean�察�and mark the result of your
   investigations。 I boldly assert that everywhere�察�and in every climate��
   you will find the moral nature of the human race exactly the same。
   Everywhere you will find men and women are naturally wicked�察�corrupt��
   selfish�察�proud�察�lazy�察�deceitful�察�godless�察�servants of lusts and
   passions。 And I contend that nothing can reasonably account for this
   but the first three chapters of Genesis。 We are what we are morally��
   because we have sprung from one parent�察�and partake of his nature。 We
   are all descendants of one fallen Adam�察�and in Adam we all died。 Moses
   is right。 We are all of; one blood。;

   After all�察�if doubt remains in any man's mind�察�and he cannot quite
   believe the narratives of Genesis�察�I ask him to remember what a deadly
   blow his unbelief strikes at the authority of the New Testament。 It is
   easy work to point out difficulties in the first book of the Bible�察�but
   it is not easy to explain away the repeated endorsement which Genesis
   receives from Christ and the Apostles。 There is no getting over the
   broad fact that creation�察�the serpent�察�the fall�察�Cain and Abel�察�Enoch��
   Noah�察�the flood�察�the ark�察�Abraham�察�Lot�察�Sodom and Gomorrah�察�Isaac��
   Jacob�察�Esau�察�are all mentioned in the New Testament as historical
   things or historical persons。 What shall we say to this fact�拭�Were
   Christ and the Apostles deceived and ignorant�拭�The idea is absurd。 Did
   they dishonestly acmodate themselves to the popular views of their
   hearers�察�in order to procure favour with them�察�knowing all the time
   that the things and persons they spoke of were fictitious�察�and not
   historical at all�拭�The very idea is wicked and profane。 We are shut up
   to one conclusion�察�and I see no alternative。 If you give up the Old
   Testament�察�you must give up the New also。 There is no standing´ground
   between disbelief of the supernatural narratives of Genesis and
   disbelief of the gospel。 If you cannot believe Moses�察�you ought not to
   trust Christ and the Apostles�察�who certainly did believe him。 Are you
   really wiser than the Lord Jesus Christ or St。 Paul�拭�Do you know better
   than they�拭�Cast such notions behind your back。 Stand firm on the old
   foundation�察�and be not carried away by modern theories。 And as a great
   cornerstone�察�place beneath your feet the fact of our text�察�the mon
   origin of all mankind。 ;We are all made of one blood。;

   II。 From the point of fact in our text I now pass on to the point of
   doctrine。 Are we all of ;one blood ;�拭�Then we all need one and the same
   remedy for the great family disease of our souls。 The disease I speak
   of is sin。 We inherit it from our parents�察�and it is a part of our
   nature。 We are born with it�察�whether gentle or simple�察�learned or
   unlearned�察�rich or poor�察�as children of fallen Adam�察�with his blood in
   our veins。 It is a disease which grows with our growth and strengthens
   with our strength�察�and unless cured before we die�察�will be the death of
   our souls。

   Now�察�what is the only remedy for this terrible spiritual disease�拭�What
   will cleanse us from the guilt of sin�拭�What will bring health and peace
   to our poor dead hearts�察�and enable us to walk with God while we live��
   and dwell with God when we die�拭�To these questions I give a short but
   unhesitating reply。 For the one universal soul´disease of all Adam's
   children there is only one remedy。 That remedy is ;the precious blood
   of Christ。; To the blood of Adam we owe the beginning of our deadly
   spiritual ailment。 To the blood of Christ alone must we all look for a
   cure。

   When I speak of the ;blood of Christ�察─�my readers must distinctly
   understand that I do not mean the literal material blood which flowed
   from His hands and feet and side as He hung on the cross。 That blood�察�I
   doubt not�察�stained the fingers of the soldiers who nailed our Lord to
   the tree�察�but there is not the slightest proof that it did any good to
   their souls。 If that blood were really in the munion cup at the
   Lord's Supper�察�as some profanely tell us�察�and we touched it with our
   lips�察�such mere corporeal touch would avail us nothing。 Oh no� �When I
   speak of the ;blood; of Christ as the cure for the deadly ailment which
   we all inherit from the blood of Adam�察�I mean the life´blood which
   Christ shed�察�and the redemption which Christ obtained for sinners when
   He died for them on Calvary��the salvation which He procured for us by
   His vicarious sacrifice��the deliverance from the guilt and power and
   consequences of sin�察�which He purchased when He suffered as our
   Substitute。 This and this only is what I mean when I speak of ;Christ's
   blood; as the one medicine needed by all Adam's children。 The thing
   that we all need to save us from eternal death is not merely Christ's
   incarnation and life�察�but Christ's death。 The atoning ;blood; which
   Christ shed when He died�察�is the grand secret of salvation。 It is the
   blood of the second Adam suffering in our stead�察�which alone can give
   life or health and peace to all who have the first Adam's blood in
   their veins。

   I can find no words to express my deep sense of the importance of
   maintaining in our Church the true doctrine of the blood of Christ。 One
   plague of our age is the widespread dislike to what men are pleased to
   call dogmatic theology。 In the place of it�察�the idol of the day is a
   kind of jelly´fish Christianity��a Christianity without bone�察�or
   muscle�察�or sinew�察�without any distinct teaching about the atonement or
   the work of the Spirit�察�or justification�察�or the way of peace with
   God��a vague�察�foggy�察�misty Christianity�察�of which the only watchwords
   seem to be�察 �You must be earnest�察�and real�察�and true�察�and brave�察�and
   zealous�察�and liberal�察�and kind。 You must condemn no man's doctrinal
   views。 You must consider everybody is right�察�and nobody is wrong。; And
   this Creedless kind of religion�察�we are actually told�察�is to give us
   peace of conscience� �And not to be satisfied with it in a sorrowful��
   dying world�察�is a proof that you
