sets forth certain guiding principles
for Christian workers, the respective
chapters Of this section showing the
Christian workers comfort, criti-
cism. completeness. cleansing. con-

The second section of the letter
deals with giving principles for
Christian work. setting forth in
chapter 8 the cross and giving and
in chapter 2 the c~ontagion Of giving.
The final section, chapts. 10 70
IL. deals with Governing Graces for
Christian workers. the first Of
which. in chapter 10, is that OF grace
Of the captivating Christ; next
comes the grace Of seif-respect IN
chapters IL and IL and. finally, in
chapter 10 the grace OF severity.
