peculiar type of sin and sinners.
Great sinners may be great in their

be saved if willing to submit to God
and His way. Money cannot buy it.
LESSON Il.-Elisha's heavenly de-

xxx. o. ''Then the people rejoiced. for
that they offered willingly" A chest
beside the altar to receive the willing
offerings Of the people was the meth
cd of obtaining money which the Lord
