There Is something exceedingly emphatic' In that expression. "Son of Man," writes Frederick Robertson; "our Master Is not called the Son of Mary, but aa If the blood of the whole human race were In his veins. He calls himself tho Son of Man. He was not tho Asiatic. He was not the European. He wns not tho Jew. Ho was not tho type of that century stampod with Its peculiarities. He was not the piechanic. He was not the aristocrat. But ho was tho man." No one could mistake Mohammed for such a "Son of Man," Ho was a son of Arabia, and nothing more. Tho Koran Is, therefore, a sectarian book, and Mo hammedanism is cruelly sectarian. Buddhn wns a son of India, and noth ing more. No oiw could mistake him for a ' Son of man.'- His writings nre, therefore, sectarlmi. They are not adapted to tho occidental mind. Confucius was a bon of China, nnd nothing more. His writings aro therefore sectarian In their nntiwmnl narrowness.
