open to all men, and citizenship
therein is freely offered on compli,
ance with the laws and ordinances OF
the gospel as set forth by our Lord
Jesus Christ who is the only Savior

who neglects or rejects the o,'pol(l,

Kingdom OF God must expect to meet
the results OF his failure.
The plan Of salvation was described

to do right neither impels any IL
