that the verdict savored too much OF compro-

OF twenty-five men, guided by special Divine
Illumination, declaring Talmage innocent, while
twenty others, guided by the same unerring
Divine illumination, pronounced him guilty;
and that is the judgment OF court Of Jesus
Christ! These people believe there is no oppor-

Unless there be change In the spiritual life OF
