considerable. To such an one
there is always a chance to come
again.
No man will be able to plead
conditions and circumstances as
a valid reason and get by on it,
in the moral and spiritual sphere
of his life. for the simple reason
they do not and cannot exist.
To fail here under any circum-
stance or conditional provoca-
tons is to incur blame and re-
ceive condemnation. To fail at
this point can never be justified,
nor your loss recuperated. To
reject Christ is to reject life, and
to neglect salvation is to loose it.
Gods gift to the world Of His
Son and salvation by faith in His
name, is neither hindered by con-
ditions nor limited by circum-
stances, but is superior to either
and independent of all. How
foolish them must be your COM

Wanted pleas Of inability. See
ing God has given to every man

appear for what they really are
Indifference and contempt for
His authority and a deliberate
rejection of God.
