enlightened conscience of the world, and
if win II there I will win it for every
church ana every soul in Christendom.
If fail before that court II Will be
because I am wrong in my conception
of truth. and then / will he glad to
fail. far nv contention is not for my
convention. but for the eternal truth of
God. Let my brethren within the
church abide the issue of this trial For
when the great tribunal of free thought
has decided this contention, the men
who administer the church on earth will
cnnforn, 70 This decision. 1t to this
work of showing that God IS in Man

church Of nv lifelong devotion, l do 50
with the deepest gratitude for the OPP
fortunitieg of worship, of preaching
and service which have been the priv
ileges of my office. To pray before the
