With all windows in place and with
all roof sheathing on, those who at

found in the auditorium, in spite of the

God is more than God of ma
ture," Or Bulgin said. Some peo
pie doubt God being able to save
men cannot understand it. God
has $4,000 different kinds of seeds
and each of them goes to sleep in
the autumn and the Almighty pro
vides each with a wintering dress. He
then has another suit ready for them
for new existence in April or May
Some of you fellows will not come
into the resurrection of the just but
will come into the resurrection ot
the ungodly. You infidels and scep
tics should sit down and take no

this universe. Remember that there
are many worlds travelling this way
and that way, and have been doine
for 1000 years and yet in all thai
