“LET this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus; who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery [“a thing to be seized upon and held fast”] to be equal with God; but emptied himself, and took upon Him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men.” Philippians 2:5-7. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.1

Christ was like God in the sense of being of the nature, in very substance, of God. He was made in the likeness of men, in the sense of being like men, in the nature and very substance of men. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.2

Christ was God. He became man. And when He became man, He was man as really as He was God. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.3

He became man in order that He might redeem man. He came to where man is, to bring man to where He was. And in order to redeem man from what man is, He was made what man is. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.4

Man is flesh. Genesis 6:3; John 3:6. “And the Word was made flesh.” John 1:14; Hebrews 2:14. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.5

Man is under the law. Romans 3:19. Christ was “made under the law.” Galatians 4:4. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.6

Man is under the curse. Galatians 3:10; Zechariah 5:1-4. “Christ was made a curse.” Galatians 3:13. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.7

Man is sold under sin (Romans 7:14), and laden with iniquity. Isaiah 1:4. And “the Lord hath laid on Him the iniquity of us all.” Isaiah 53:6. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.8

Man is “a body of sin.” Romans 6:6. And God “hath made Him to be sin.” 2 Corinthians 5:21. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.9

Thus all things that man is, Christ was made. And all this He was as really as all this the man is. And Christ became all this in order that the man might become what Christ was. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.10

Christ was the Son of God. He became the Son of man that the sons of men might become the sons of God. Galatians 4:4; 1 John 3:1. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.11

Christ was Spirit. 1 Corinthians 15:45. He became flesh in order that man, who is flesh, might become Spirit. John 3:6; Romans 8:8-10. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.12

Christ was the righteousness of God. He was made to be sin, in order that man, who is sin, “might be made the righteousness of God in Him.” 2 Corinthians 5:21. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.13

Thus, literally, “in all things it behoved Him to be made like unto His brethren.” Whatsoever man is in the flesh, that Christ became in the flesh. Man is “sinful.” Isaiah 1:4. Christ, who knew no sin, was made as sinful as man is sinful. For God sent His “Son in the likeness of sinful flesh”—in flesh that is like, in the sense of being like in nature, in substance. Romans 8:3. “Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, He also himself likewise took part of the same.” Christ, who was the very righteousness of God, was made the very sinfulness of men. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.14

Yet, bear in mind that none of this was He of himself, in His own right. But all of it He “was made.” ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.15

Christ was made what, before, He was not, in order that the man might be made now and forever what he is not. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.16

Christ, who knew no sin, was made to be sin, even the sinfulness of man, in order that we, who knew no righteousness, might be made righteousness, even the righteousness of God. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.17

And as the righteousness of God, which, in Christ, the man is made, is real righteousness, so the sin of men, which Christ was made in the flesh, was real sin. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.18

As certainly as our sins, when upon us, are real sins to us, so certainly, when these sins were laid upon Him, they became real sins to Him. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.19

As certainly as guilt attaches to these sins, and to us because of them, when they are upon us, so certainly this guilt attached to these same sins of ours, and to Him because of them, when they were laid upon Him. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.20

As the sense of condemnation and discouragement of these sins was real to us, when these sins of ours were upon us, so certainly this same sense of condemnation and discouragement, because of the guilt of these sins, was realized by Him when these sins of ours were laid upon Him. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.21

So that the guilt, the condemnation, the discouragement, of the knowledge of sin were His—were a fact in His conscious experience—as really as they were ever such in the life of any sinner that was ever on earth. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.22

And therein lies the fullness of our salvation from sin. He has gone the way of sin, in the very knowledge of it, to its very depths. It was all laid upon Him, and He was “touched with the feeling” of it. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.23

And He did it all in order that we, sinful men, might be made the very righteousness of God, and so be delivered unto the glorious liberty of the children of God. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.24

He who knew the height of the righteousness of God acquired also the knowledge of the depth of the sins of men. He knows the awfulness of the depths of the sins of men, as well as He knows the glory of the heights of the righteousness of God. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.25

And so He became, and forever is, the author of eternal salvation to all who will receive Him; able to save to the uttermost all who come unto God by Him. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.26

And blessed be His glorious name forever and ever! ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.27

“Cure ‘La Grippe’ Yourself” Advent Review and Sabbath Herald 78, 2, p. 24.

TWO years ago we published the following cure for la grippe. It then did many persons much good; and as there are many who are readers of the REVIEW now who were not then, we publish it again:— ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.1

As winter has now come in full blast, la grippe is likely to make itself felt at any time. It is a dangerous thing, too; and if not broken up at the earliest possible moment, it will cause severe illness at present, and leave its mark upon the system for months to come. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.2

However, la grippe can be so effectually broken up that no one need be injured by it, nor necessarily confined to the house longer than to put himself through the treatment. And the treatment is so simple that it is within the reach of everybody, and so easily applied that any one can give it to himself, if need be. And here it is:— ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.3

1. As soon as you discover that you have la grippe, put your feet, and up to the knees if possible, in water as hot as can be borne. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.4

2. Keep the water as hot as can be borne, by putting in boiling water. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.5

3. Continue this till perspiration is started. At the same time it is helpful, though not essential, to sip hot lemonade. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.6

4. When perspiration has been well started, take out your feet, dry them quickly, wrap them in hot flannels, and lie down with hot-water bottles, hot bricks, or something of the kind, to your feet. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.7

5. Lie there till you choose to get up; and la grippe will be killed. You will probably be took weak to do much; but as la grippe is gone, your strength will soon return. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.8

Now do not pass this treatment by as too simple to be followed, and go to taking medicines, or even a full bath. Follow these directions strictly, simple as they appear to be, and you will find la grippe effectually broken. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.9

I know this because I have tested the treatment thoroughly. I have tested it while on a journey, when I had only poor facilities, yet with complete success. I have tested it in a country cabin, within fifteen miles of the Russian border, in the month of December, on an attack of la grippe straight from Russia and undiluted, and with such success as to miss but one sermon in a series of appointments. And others have applied it with equal success. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.10

There is true philosophy in it. And the philosophy lies here: La grippe, at its seizure, is peculiarly a disease of the head. Plainly, therefore, if the blood can be drawn away from the head, so that the disease shall have nothing to feed on, la grippe will have to fail. Holding the feet in water so hot, does effectually draw the blood to the farthest extremity from the head; and keeping the feet hot so long, holds the blood away from the head, so that the disease is robbed of support, and inevitably fails. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.11

A full bath, even though it be a Turkish or a Russian, is not effectual against la grippe, because the whole body is equally heated, the blood is made to bound more rapidly, and the disease is fed rather than starved. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.12

Follow these directions strictly, and nothing will fail but la grippe. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.13

If you have not had experience so that you are acquainted with la grippe, you can know that it is upon you by your eyes burning, your nose tickling, your head feeling large and dull, and perhaps every joint and muscle of the body aching. Though you need not wait for all these feelings: one or two of them is enough to justify you in beginning proceedings. ARSH January 8, 1901, page 24.14

“Editorial” Advent Review and Sabbath Herald 78, 2, p. 27.

LAST week we printed the word of the Independent that “Archbishop Ireland is going to Cuba, commissioned by the President, to inquire concerning the allotment of Church property and other matters of interest to the Catholic Church.” About a year ago an Italian was taken from the Catholic University and appointed bishop of Havana, because his “especial knowledge of the United States Constitution” would be of value in matters of Church property there; and now the President commissions Archbishop Ireland to Cuba concerning Church property and “other matters of interest to the Catholic Church.” It should also be borne in mind, with these items, that Archbishop Chapelle is appointed by the pope apostolic delegate to Cuba, Porto Rico, and the Philippines. With Archbishop and Apostolic Delegate Chapelle, the President’s adviser concerning matters of interest to the Catholic Church in the Philippines, and with Archbishop Ireland, the President’s commissioner concerning matters of interest to the Catholic Church in Cuba, if now the President would take up some other archbishop, cardinal, or apostolic delegate as his adviser concerning matters of interest to the Catholic Church in the United States, he would occupy a position relative to the Catholic Church, second only to that of the pope. And at the rate of procedure of the last two years, how long will it be before that point shall be reached? By the instrumentality of the United States these are great days for the papacy.
