wickedness," and First John, 3:1?.

Following this, Willis R. Hotchkiss
spoke briefly on what is the object of all
the Christian effort?' The answer was
found in Acts 15:14, to stake out of the
Gentiles a people for His name" and from
the Prophets he found Gods promise to
return and rebuild the waste places of
Israel" God has not cast away His /peo-
pie, the Jews, and one day Jerusalem will
be the center of Christ's kingdom on earth
and the throne of David will be estab-
lished forever. pray for the peace of
Jerusalem. They shall prosper that love
thee" Don't despise the Jewish peddler
for he is one of Gods people. The church
is to make all the nations of the earth
to hear of the Lord Jesus Christ Shall
we not build according to the plan shown
US?
