from the book Of Hebrews %. How

when unrest, false conscience and
unstable peace have permeated the
minds of men and turned them from
thoughts concerning the saving OF
their souls.
Salvation is great because it en-
compasses so much in the lives OF

the last and final peace of their
lives. II is three-fold in its mission.
and Jesus was the one through
whom il has been made manifest
