ashes new life and beauty came. Out

new humanity has been taking better
and larger symmetry. There Is o growth

sus Is most assuredly declared, and the
way OF the Lord Is being gradually ana
laboriously prepared and his paths are
being made straight. There are at
work mighty forces whose elimination
