The Deity of Christ.

By Editor

The Sunday School Times has been printing for some time the utterances of noted Christian scholars who believe unequivocally in the Deity of Jesus Christ,—an expression, the editor remarks, which means now what the "Divinity of Christ" meant a few years ago. The "Deity of Christ" has been compelled by the belittling of the term "divinity," men holding that it was common to men as to Christ, only perhaps in different degree. The editor tells us that the Sunday School Times has been censured for giving such prominence to the great subject; and that he was warned that his course would be unwise, and that he is now told that it is ill-timed and productive of harm. Some wish to debate the question, but the editor nobly says that the paper is not open to a debate upon the Deity of Christ. Would there were many more to take the same noble stand.
