commissioned to declare the truth. He stands
as the representative of all those influences,

always refine. elevate and cnnoDle the life of

larger and better life and teach them 10 walk

True it is soul culture. 1t is set for the
development OF the soul nature into strength

mated to exert its beneiicent influence upon
the entire being, to present its subject full

Creator of ALL Jesus Christ reveals himself
