Having indicated these different ten dencies, he takes up the constructive work and analyzes the significance of such terms as “The Christ,” “The Lord,-’ “The Son of God,” “The Son of Man,”; and points out that. Jesus’ own consciousness was concerned with the things that are represented by these terms. He also makes a masterly analysis; of Christ’s consciousness concerning His Saviour- hood and His own death.

You are sized up every day by what you say and write.

Charming personality, fine clothes, won derful appearance, count for little if handicapped by" imperfect or ‘‘sloppy” English. People will think you are lacking in education and culture if .you spell incorrectly such common words as business, “abbreviate,” etc.; if you say "between you and I ' instead of between “you and me;” if you use “who” for “whom” and “shall” for “will.” What can you expect people to think if you don't know when to use one or two “c's” or “m’s” or “r's” or when to use ‘ ei” or “ie,” or if you say “ hosPITable” when you should say "HOSpitable. ” Fairly or unfairly, every body everywhere judges you the same way. Poor English is an unnecessary handicap. 15 Minutes a Day Perfects Your English If your English does not make people think the best Df you then it must be improved.
