220 LIEUT.-COLONEL G. MACKINLAY, THE DATE OF THE NATIVITY. 



Professor of Biblical Criticism, University of Aberdeen, writes, 

 " Taking your arguments as a whole, the convergence of so many 

 lines of evidence is remarkable, and gives a high measure of 

 probability to your conclusions," and the Eev. Chancellor Lias adds : 

 " I think there can be little doubt that you have hit upon the true 

 time of the Saviour's Birth." 



It is therefore hoped that this subject will be further discussed 

 in the future, because its investigation demonstrates the historic 

 accuracy of the Gospels.
