new doctrine respecting God—not absolutely eo, but still new contrasted with the tearhmgs of other religions. Everywhere on the globe men believe in the aid of God and in the power of Ood. The dintmction between the Jewish religion and Paganism was not that one called Clod Jehovah and the other Baal. It was that one worshiped justice and the other power. The message of the Pagan religion was of an omnipotent power back of the affairs of nature snd life. The message of Judaism was that God ia a righteous (kid snd demands righteousnea of His chi'dren. Still we need to understand that God expects righteousneas from us, sod nothing Isas will uriair Him. In later Joddism there came the greater raceme*.
