of July rain. consequently 1T was a wet
crowd brought Into the depot Saturday
by dripping trains. Perhaps the crowd
was somewhat less In numbers on this
account, for it certainly was not as

declaring that salvation was not change
of condition merely but OF character
The grand idea of salvation, according 70
his views, was not being saved from hell,
but restored to Gods image here; that
Christ's grand mission was to each

Christiike character here was salvation
