HOLINESS Is not BY what men put on or

Many a man Is good In his own mind,
bat nowhere else. Paul knew that when
he said that Ia his mind he served God
and served sin In his members. Men
who are good In their own mind are like
other men who are smart-ln their
minds. They put patches on old
garments. Often men say they will
quit swearing OF their own will. They
keep the resolutions for while, then

folly for men to fall at Gods stairs, aud

They must be made anew.
