My Dear Readers : Do we comprehend these beautiful words of our Master, that ye shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall make you free? and can we realize what it would be to be made free, and what that Truth is which shall make us free? "He came unto his own, and his own received Him not. " The Jews considered themselves the chosen of God; but when Jesus came, declaring the Truth, and that he came not to do his own will but the will of his Father, he was rejected, reviled, spit upon, and finally crucified, when he was giving his life to save the world from sin and its results, sickness and death.

" Miracles are events which occur by Divine power contrary to the order and above the power of nature, to give credit to those who are sent of God. " This definition is theological, and fairly represents the old conception of the wonderful works of Jesus in almost all Christian Churches.

A few Sunday mornings since, I went into my study to prepare a discourse, or rather some spiritual food, for the little flock I try to feed, that they may grow into the consciousness of their vast possessions as spiritual children of God; and as usual, I commenced in silence to solicit help from God. I felt that I had but little light and lesser understanding.

It is said that history repeats itself, and the serpent that was so successfully beguiling in the story of the original sin, is luring our people to-day. "Ye shall be as gods," was the promise of non-intelligent error.
