! "Jesus answered and said unto him.
verify say unto to thee, except u man DO
born again he cannot 500 the Kingdom Of
God" St. John 3: g., was the text from
which Rev. James Warner preached In
ST. Johns Episcopal Church, yesterday
Rev, Mr.. Warner spoke of the circum.
stances under which the text was spoken,
and spoke also of the inability OF u man
IN one station OF life to understand the
life of ano,hor. The man of 81, COO year
cannot understand how man whose in.
como Is but as many hundred can live on
that sum, aud yet the man worth but sooo
year does live upon it and Outlines se.
cures about as much out OF lltc us tho
man with the greater income
Frequently people claim they can read
other peuple like book. 1t is shallow
claim. sometimes married couple who
arc supposed to be but one understand
each other no more than Chin0man and
Frenchnan thrown into each others
arms for the first time by jostling crowd.
Man should first judge and understand
himself 1t Is u small man vino judges
and erlt!cizss his neighbor. Lot him crit
iclze kimsoli first.

should do uuto you who said; HE thnt
cometh unto me, ! will in nOwise cast
out;' who said In my father 5 house are
many rooms; go to prepare place for
