THE GOSPEL.
God loves you.

k God loves you.
 Do you love God? If Chris. was willirg to die that we might be saved, what is our duty?
 Some one has said tkat the true way to spell "personal consecration' Is "purse-and-sIl consecratfon. EEK. Churches should not wait for people to come to thiam. The churches must go to. the Peope.
 There are some folks who want Gods vii. dpn5 provided they can get on the ways and meanS' committee
 No man is beyond redemption if he will cast his all at Jesus fest
 If a man will come to God humbly, con- fesslng his sins and bs,ggEng forgiveness, he will surely be saved Why, God would destroy the whole universe before He would Isf that man perish.
 The only way that Christian can be really powerful is to say in all faith, ''all things that are gain to me, count loss for Chrtst."
 Blessed is the man that endureth, for when he Is tbrad he shall receive crown
  them that love Him.,"-Jas. l, 12.
 
 Those people who don't believe in the efficacy of prayer should think over the following passages of Scripture before bowling tbeir heads again, "Ye ask, and ye receive mot, because you ask amiss. that you. may consume it upon your llsts. E-Jhs. 4, 3.
 I say this and fila mot, that any man or woman th9h hates fellow being is lost and unfil they make friends with that person there is no hope of salvation for them. for he that hateth his brother is in darknese and wa]kefh in darkness, and knoHeth not whither he goeth, be- cause that darkness hath blinded his eyea"-Fsrst Jofin, 2, II.
 Young man, you may go on having a seemingly good time and cut a Thigh dike.', solto speak, but know for all that God will5 bring you into judgment, and every man will be rewa rded according as his work shall be.
