Heaven is open over his head; he is conscious, as he writes, of the immensities of that love whose breadth and length and depth and height pass knowledge. In the Son who revealed it--in God who is its eternal source--in the Spirit through whom it lives in men--he is conscious of that love and of its workings; and he prays that in all its aspects, and in all its virtues, it may be with them all. _Printed by Hazell, Watson, & Viney, Ld., London and Aylesbury._ FOOTNOTES: [111] Although it is supported by commentators like Chrysostom and Calvin, it is difficult to treat otherwise than as a whim the idea that Paul's two or three visits to Corinth make _him_ equal to the two or three witnesses required by the law. So also Godet, who counts the three thus: (1) a warning by word of mouth during his second visit; (2) this letter; (3) his actual arrival for the third time. [112] See _Biblical Essays_, p. 274. [113] Another interpretation is worth mentioning. "Try _yourselves_, I say; put _yourselves_ to the proof; _do not leave it for me to do_ when I come. Why, do you not recognise as to your own selves that Jesus Christ is among you, so that you have spiritual competence to proceed in correcting the disorders of the Church?--unless, indeed, ye are reprobates: which is an impossible supposition. But ἑαυτοὺς certainly suggests that in the implied contrast Paul is _object_, not _subject_." _WORKS BY THE REV. PRINCIPAL FAIRBAIRN, D.D._ _Fifth Edition. 8vo, cloth, 12s._ =CHRIST IN MODERN THEOLOGY.= By A. M. FAIRBAIRN, D.D. Principal of Mansfield College, Oxford. "His work is, without doubt, one of the most valuable and comprehensive contributions to theology that has been made during this generation."--_The Spectator._ "A more vivid summary of Church history has never been given. With its swift characterisation of schools and politics, with its subtle tracings of the development of various tendencies through the influence of their environment, of reaction, and of polemic; with its contrasts of different systems, philosophies, and races; with its portraits of men; with its sense of progress and revolt,--this part of Dr. Fairbairn's book is no mere annal, but drama, vivid and full of motion, representative of the volume and sweep of Christianity through the centuries."--_Speaker._ _Crown 8vo, cloth, 3s. 6d._ =RELIGION IN HISTORY AND IN MODERN LIFE:= Together with an Essay on the Church and the Working Classes.
