may be that outlying districts hither-

Those who are coal experts believe
that this is true. Representatives OF

propose to bore through the rock sur

''We ought to have a new confession of

when he was trying TO make Christian
of Nicodemus: God so loved the world
that He gave His only begotten son that
whosoever believeth In Him shall not
perish but have eternal life Better give
the present creed a dignified place In the
museum for what IL is, then hack IL to
pieces and revamp 1t for what it Is not.

among us the distinct feeling which the
Gospel so WONDERFULLY guarantees, THAI

toward everything that states or even
suggests anything like a partial or an
arbitrary love ON Gods part, loving soma
because He chose to, and damning the
rest in order to show what He could do
and how just He was.
'Now that is our book, the Presbyterian
confession of faith, in the third chapter.
If we are thorough Presbyterians and be-
lieve what our doctrinal prospectus ad-
vertises us as believing, we believe it
probable that some of the children in
your homes, little children, perhaps the
babe of your bosom. Is damned. already
damned, damned before 1t was born,
damned from everlasting to everlasting,
