down His life for others says to us,
"You must lay down your lives for the
brethren" Yes, lives! That would be
a great thing. But it is not that we arc
asking tonight. We are only asking
that you lay down your glass. You

His sake, it will be a asacri6ce we'll pleas
ing in His sight.-Rev. William, NJ. Tdy-
