took the human body. first the boy.

bore with others sorrows. suffering
and at last gave His life to the aid
of man.
"The incarnation Of God in Christ is
the strongest idea ever conceived by
human minds, that God could and
would dwell in human body. Jesus
voluntarily chose this mission No
man could take His life and He had
the power 10 lay down His life and
take IL up again and He had the pow

Rev. Mr.. Decker said: This was the
gladdest and the saddest moment in
the life Of Moses. The gladdest be
