human woe If there is nothing more in
the church than society we had better sell
out. The bon ton have need of the same
grace and no less than the poor and igno-
rant and degraded. There are more who
fear God and work righteousness and gain
great wealth and are yet really conse-
Grated.
1t is just as bad to have bad rotten liter
allure in your house as to have rotten
whisky and drink it.
The man who sells that ungodly litera-
ture is worse than the man who runs
saloon. If am going to vote prohibition
of whisky, l will first or at the same time,
vote prohibition of bad literature.

First-It was to be offered to the Jews.
Second-To the Gentiles.
The Gentle had no hope for he did not
have God. God was not revealed to them.
They could hope because they could not
expect it, for hope is made up of expecta-

called and saved, the Jew would say no.

There is no such thing as foreknowledge.
1t may be so arranged that man may fore

If God knew all things from eternity,
now could it be foreknowledge? 1t was
always present with him.
God never elated any man from Heaven
or hell, but those who would be conformed
to the image of His son, he would save,
but who would not would be condemned.

Christ. God justified the descendants of
Abraham in taking a proportion of the
land of Caanan and glorified them as no
other people were glorified in the eyes of
