rest of those saved ones who stand
before his throne.--Rev DR. Arson =

Religion not Irksome.
He is the greatest enemy of religion
who would make II irksome and con
trary to common sense. Most people
talk religion iI an unnatural tone
The moment they change the suhjec
and talk about anything else thei
faces light up hike surprise and at onc'
give the impression that they hav,
come out of the irksomeness OF re
ligion into that which is natural. Thi
joyless view on religion, so inconsis
tent with the teachings OF the New
Testament, keeps away many cor
scien,ious people out OF the church,
