ADDRESS OF DIR. KNOX.

to stay in Jesus as to accept Him. In fidelity to
those in the vast audience who might be un-
sheltered and not abiding in the true hope, he
asked, "Why are you outsider The Lord is willing
and waiting to receive you. He is imploring you
~ come TO Him. without Him all union is infor-
NAL. May God grant to each one Of you to enjoy
this union, so that in the day OF the great
