large audience. taking as his subject,
THE Seeds of Faith He took his
text from the eighth verse of the
Thirty-fourth Psalm, go taste and see
that God is good" Only by having
faith in everything we undertake or
believe, and experiencing those things,
can one come to actually know them.

knew Him by actual experience, so
we can do the same by living our lives
with God.

careful thoughtfulness of dear frien Is.
1t is true in marriage and love. We
do not know the Meaning of either
without actually experiencing them.
And it is the same in religion and

DR.. Edmonds gave as his formulas
for knowing that there is such a thing
as Immortality and God. the actual
practice in daily life of living immor-

confident OF another world and shap-
