said in part, The chapter from
which my text is taken very strikingly
brings out the contrast between the
religions OF the Romans and Chris

clean and holy living.
What is this spirit of Christ. the
possession of which determines and
declares whether we are His disci-
ples?" said Rev. Mr.. Dougherty. 1T
is not the spirit of controversy. for
Christ never argued questions with
people. He boldly declared the truth
OF His kingdom.
The spirit of Christ implies the
spirit OF prayer as opposed TO the
spirit of self-dependence. If we have
the spirit OF Christ we will live Christ
