Now, certainly every one wi aust understand himself batter than sal ny one else can understand him. If I lai sk you where you were born, and you sh eli me, "I was born in Chester, Ens and," or "I was born in Glasgow, Scot- thi and,'' or "I. was born in Dublin, Ire- ne and,'' or "%I was born in New Orleana, ris he United States,'' you being a man of inl utefrity, 1 should believe you.

Then he must f h) a God. 1 lii a man he in a thousand places at Si )e? Christ says he is in a thousand in pla es at once.
