his family reached Paris from

naturally enough there is what
amounts to skepticism inside of
the church. The demand that we
preachers are continually making
upon our people and that people
are making upon themselves is to

worthy of repentance.
“ Read th*’ gospeie as admiringly

f aidedly to save the w'orld or even
