GETTING Riaht With God.

Get right with God, then, eternal
source Of all JOY, for it IS his joy that
YOU must share to be joyous in very
truth. The God centered man is al
ways happy, for Gods will becomes
the orbit in which he moves. As God s
revelation in the sun is the center OF
the solar system, so is Gods revelation
in Christ the center Of the human sys-
TEN. Let Jesus prescribe thine orbit,
then thou art ever in the light OF
Gods face.-Rev. DR.. Robert MacDon-
