that it implies. No man can save himself
he must BE- saved The utmost st., one can
do towards becoming christian j. 10 in
trust himself INTO Gods hands to be made
christian Of. FRYING to begin CHRISTIAN
life on, self j. irving to live before one has
been born. lou would not say 10 .lok
man, come, you ought 10 live a healthy life,
bat rather. you ought 10 submit to treat
ment that will make you well. The faith that
saves Is, therefore, completely within the
power ef every man. |, is simply n,ru>,-

second text these truths were applied to the
continuance Of the christian life Power is

were before our conversion, guilty Of the
great sin of unhsiief, needing TO go to God
as We did then.-as sinners. and TO make
compiet. again our conservation.

Industry. The first requirement for perma-
nent success in life is work. There can be
a,tainments without il. Al nature is alive

/ The idle life is a burden to itself and a
| curse to the community in which il lives.
/ The world is divided into two classes, VIZ.
/ Workers and losfers. According to the es-
Inmates of some there are more loafers than
/ work ers, the former being burden to the
latter.
/ The young person, who have health, per
severance and are industrious aud economi-
/ cal have within their grasp the greatest
/ blessings which this world affords Thai
man is worthy Of the worlds admiration
| who has not only raised himself and hi,
above the oppression of poverty but leave:
the world to estimate him not only by the
| fortune he has made but also By the true
noble, generous, wise life he has lived.
