We should feel Inundated in view of the
fact that it was not alone the Jews and
Romans who crucified Christ but it was
all men whose guilt nailed Him to the tree.

mercy was expressed on Calvary, the
highest and grandest summit in time and
eternity.

been loyal to her husband, her children,
her country and her God, might have one
in her possession for daily use. The doc

and yours to the latest generation"
The president rose and received the
bibles, bowed, smiled and sat down.
