dressed to Christisns-redeemed, JUSTIFIED and
purified souls. The theme suggested by the
words Of the text Is the
PRESENT RELATION AND GLORIOUS FUTURE
Of the believer. The relations are set forth in
the first clause OF the text. 1t Is plain that It is
not q national relation, else we would share the
nature q the tS. and BE- holy and

This relation secures to rs certain great prlvI-

At the conclusion Of the sermon Rev W. l. Nc |
