context is occupied with the vindication of God's judgment from the least suspicion of

abominate the mere approach to such a thing. That God does overrule evil is abundantly

testified throughout Scripture and experience, but that is an entirely different matter.

Before we conclude this examination it is necessary to become acquainted with the

central section (Rom. 2: 3-3: I). This we must take up in our next article.

What a solid basis for our redemption! True it flows from the love of God; true it is

all of grace and not of merit, yet marvelous to remember He has so wrought that" He

of that spirit of judgment? that keenness to see error? that" nose for heresy?" What kind

of standard are we setting for ourselves? Should any interpose with a plea of privilege,

parallel to that of the Jew, we would remind such that in addition to Rom. 2:, Col. 3: 25

tells us that: "There is no respect of persons," and that" He that doeth wrong shall receive
