The one bright spot in the

Gypsy Smith's declaration
Wednesday concerning

on the New Birth, he said H
that “You can’t pass
through the pangs of the
New Birth without know- ■

are only understood spir- '
itually. N
In n further discussion of
whether a man can experience the
New Birth in old age, he gave
statistics aa tho relative num- ■
her of men who seek God in their
old age the startling conclusion
was that any one 2 years of age
had one chance in ten thousand,
that at CO there was one chance in
three hundred thousand and at
