learn, like Christ himself, obedience by
the things which he suffers. He will
learn about God and his nature and his
attributes, his manifestations and his

about man, his poverty his needs, his
glory. his immortality. He will learn the

dependence upon God for life. And. first
and last of all, our immortal teacher from
God instructs us how to pray, infinitely

Be not overcome with any honor which
men may give you; nor with amy dishon-

please all, as you are teachers of your
fellow-Ilcn. Seek first the kingdom OF
God and his righteousness, and all these
things shall be added unto YOU And
when you find the gold of truth, stamp
1t i'll the die of experience and add it to-
the circulating medium of the world.
