to God" The sermon was addressed
principally to the ministry. II was a
mastery presentation of Gods lovt

flight Of elOqugnce. Mr.. Jones
thought that those who enjoyed the
greatest portion of Gods love here
would occupy the topmost heights OF
Joy in heaven. At this point h"
called attention to the portrait Of the
