the teachings Of Jesus Christ have wrought
in human condition for the better.

more than in the past the ethical element
of the teachings of Christ, and that we
give ourselves to practical righteousness;
for after all it is Righteousness which
exaleth a nation. There is an aristocracy
Of Christian character which is unto all
men who carefully practice the teachings
Of Gods word, and 1t is sufficient unto this

dained 1t to be preached in all the world to
every creature"
