But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?" (Matt. 26:53, 54.) And so "he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross" (Phil. ii:8). Such the spirit of the Christ--humble submissiveness-- "Thy will, O God, not mine be done, Adorned his mortal life." LESSON VII. (Scripture Reading Exercise.) THE FALL OF MAN. ANALYSIS. I.

A Suggested Review:_ It is suggested to the student that he at this point review, either in class or by private reading, the following lessons in Seventy's Course in Theology, Second Year Book: Lesson V.--Preparation of the Earth for the Abode of Man. Lesson VII.--The Adamic Dispensation I. Lesson VIII.--The Adamic Dispensation II. Lesson IX.--The Adamic Dispensation III. I refer the student to those lessons in order that the necessity might be avoided of entering again into detail on those subjects; for here I shall only say respecting the "fall" so much as may be necessary to keep up the continuity of the theme.
