1. Now concerning spiritual gifts,
brethren, I would not have you ignor-

, Ye know that when We were Gen
tiles We were led away unto those dumb
idols, howsoever ye might be led
5 Wherefore I made known unto you
that no man speaking in the Spirit OF
God saith, Jesus is anathema; and nc
man can say, Jeus is Lord. but in the
Holy Spirit.
/ Now, there are diversitics Of gifts,
but the same Spirit
.. And there are diversities Of minis
trauOns. and the same Lord.
g. And there are diversities Of work
ings, but the same God, who worketh
all things in all.
Z. But to each one is given the mani
festation Of the Spirit to profit withaL
s. For to one is given through the
Spirit the word of wisdom; and to an
other the word of knowledge, accordiua

More progress has been made during the

lack Of proper information upon the sub

is being laid upon the campaign of edu-

should be informed upon missionary
subjects; for this purpose missionary
libraries are provided for our reading

pushed by all the evangelical societies
OF young people, classes are being
formed for the study of this subject and
great interest is being manifested These

 If Christ is not to have condemning face to those who have not repented of their sins, how can you account for the scene in the parable of the ten vir- gins? As we read that parable we s"e the five foolish virgins who had not prepared for the Bridegroom's coming standing without and pounding upon the door of the banquet hall.
