the express purpose Of meeting that law which we
had ell violated. He eatisfed the law ne finished
it. He had made it perfectly easy for us to
be saved now. Chrt was our substitute; God
had accepted him, and now faith in Christ was the
simple way by which righteousness was imputed to
us and we could be saved. He hoped that al would
ask what they should do to be saved II they really
felt conviction OF their snfulness, they were then
fitted to come TO Christ. 1t ought to be peculiar

very much alike; man was man. Some might De
rich others poor; some talented some ignorant yet
they were all men, with souls to be saved and ministers

greater temptation than almost any other class
men. They were taken away from the swee
influences of the society of their families 1hey were
thrown into the society mainly of men, and they
exposed to dangers to which few men were exposed
and then in the honest enforcement OF their duty they
were often regarded as enemies. They knew not at
