FEIT. “There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the ends thereof are the ways o f death.” “ God was in Christ reconciling the world unto Himself.” On account o f His suffer­ ing, we may escape what we deserve. On account o f His obedience, we may have what He earned. Are you finding your pleasure and life merely in the world that CRUCIFIED CHRIST? “Make room, O soul, today for Jesus, You need Him as the Truth and Way, You need Him at the time of Judgment, You need Him every passing day.” ----------0— ------- Thanks from Presbytery CP HE Presbytery of San Joaquin, whose ministers attended the recent session of the Presbyterian Synod o f California, in this city, upon their return home adopted the following resolution, which was trans­ mitted to the Institute by Rev.
