happiness II he save his soul, no end to big
misery If he lose his soul. He has but one
sonl, therefore he can run no risk. There
il but one life on earth for each peIsOn
and each one must seek the salvation of
his soul during the probation given. He
then explained G IDS command TO serve

what God Himself says concerning
the church which he established.
