OF Nicodemus DIR. ostrom announced
his text. Marvel not that said unto
thee. ye must be born again" He said
In part:
"The commonest things Of today are
yet unexplained and wonderful. No
man can quite account for gravitation,

odemus was amazed at the thought Of
being born again. Evidently Jesus
meant that a radical change must oc.

get into a Iiewness Of life. IL takes

so easily become convert.
