Let the public lead he IS tn TO s6th verse
OF the bth chapter OF Galatians, Inclusive.

Christ In God. as every true Christians
should be, 1T is plain we could take neither

TRANSFORMED by the renewing of your

This is what 1 conceive to be Science
in a nutshell-.'If ye love Me keep My
commandments"
.Lov is the fulfilling OF the law. One
of His last commands was. Go yc into
all the world and preach the gospel to
dead, cleanse n leper.' That part OF the
world was not all the world. and the pco:
pie then living, not every creature. And

disciples only. In Ny name shall they
cast out devils: they shall speak with
new tongues.

or unable TO give the necessary help to

Where is the Kingdom OF God?
