reason why they are TO repent: Re
pent ye. for the Kingdom OF God Is at
hand. The rearon Is forgotten by
many OF our modern exhorters. But
Il was distinct when the Savior spoke
and when his apostles spoke. Yes. and
when they prayed. as he taught them to
pray. their first prayer was for this
kingdom Of God" Thy kingdom

What he taught them. and what
they believed. was that a real kingdom
Of God was to come In this world that
they lived In. And when the Chris

more intelligent moments. falls back
on the foundation truths. this is what
Il teaches now: that God can reign
In this world. and that he is TO reign

Better modes OF developing the pow

we should study acoustics goes With

In consequence OF the control thus

A development OF the pronator mus

Rolling octave playing Is dependent

plnator and pronator muscles from
those OF the fingers. Speed requires
the shortening OF the latent period Of
