A Scene in a Railroad Car.?The following
laughable incident is told by a wellknown
Government office-holder who has noth- <
ing else to do but ride on the care, and as he 1
rides free, has numerous tales to tell of hiaob- 1
servations and experience:
"There were two seats in the car turned so i
as to face each other. One was occupied by '
a lady and the other a Chinaman. Evident- i
ly the lady did Hot relish the presence of the ]
Chinaman. She explained to him that she i
wanted to take the cushions and their frames
and place them, length wise across from seat to I
seat John 9aid 'all rightee,' and got out in <
the aisle while she proceeded to lie down on 1
the bed thus improvised, with her head rest- <
ing on her valise. She supposed that the <
Chinaman would take the hint that the lady p
wanted to rest in the space usually occupied J
by four persons. But John at once proceeded <
to crawl in and stretch himself by her side, '
with his head on a little bundle of his own. i
The Chinese are an imitative race, and like 1
to do as others do, you know. The lady, as I
soon as she discovered that she had a bed fel- 1
low, got up a little wildly and started for the i
nexj car, to the infinite amusement of the 1
passengers, who had Seen watching the little :
scene with some interest. John took no notice
of the fun he had created, but went to
sleep with the whole bed to himself."
How Coats Vary in Value.?The other j
day when a New Yorker took a coat around
to a dealer in second-hand clothing, the man ,
looked it over in a contemptuous manner, el- {
evated his nose, flung the garment aside and
said: .
"Do you know how much I wouldn't gif for
dot goat ? I gif twelve shilling, only." ,
"It's worth five dollars," replied the owner.
"Five tollar! Shust wait till I gall my
wife and dell dot we haf a lunatic in der store.
Why, mine goot frent, you must haf been sun- '
stroke by der heat last summer." ,
He finally got the coat for two dollars.
Passiog the same store in the evening, and
seeing bis coat hanging at the door, the man
halted and asked: ,
"How.much for this old coat?"
"Old goat 1" exclaimed the dealer, "why,
dot goat was made only last week, worn to
one party, and can't be had any more for only
seven tollars!"
"I'll give you two."
"Two! Here, wife, hurry up! Put up ,
der plinds, lock der doors, and let us say our ,
prayers, for we must go into bankruptcy to- ,
morrow! Shust tink of dot man offering me
two tollars for dot goat who you bought of a
great alderman yesterday for-five tollars!"
Nothing Like "Science."?One day last
summer an old farmer and his wife were in a
Detroit photograph gallery to have some pictures
taken of the wife. Before proceeding
to business the farmer took the artist aside
and confidently observed: "The old lady was
bound to come, and I couldn't prevent,*bnt '
now I wan't you to do me a favor. She's got
ears like a cow, and the biggest mouth I ever ,
saw on a woman. Her picture would be a
laughing-stock for the children, and I know
she'd be sorry when too late. Tell her that j
she'll take the best in cold weather, and then
I'll fix the rest."x
The artist performed his errand, and the
woman went &way both disappointed and {
pleased. The other day, when old zero was {
just howIiDg himself hoarse, the sflrae pair returned
to the gallery, and. the farmer seated (
his wife as far from the stove as possible and (
ordered her to be "taken" at once. As the ?
artist hurried to obey, the farmer cornered
him and whispered:
"Magnificent and unbounded success ! j
Mouth and ears reduced one-half in size by (
the cold ! Heat expands?cold contracts?
go ahead afore Bhe thaws out 1 Hooray for
science and me 1"
A Large Mouth.?She led him to a sofa, 1
and in a deep bass voice called him her soul's
idol, and inquired what his monthly income
was. Seeing bis gaze fixed on her boa-con- f
strictor-like mouth, she remarked?
. "Darling, I see you notice my large and 1
beautiful potato trap ; let me explain to you (
the reason of its unusual size. When I was <
quite a child J was playing on pappy's cellar
door; it gave way; I was precipitated down
into the basement' aod caught by the mouth
on a projecting meat hook, which ripped up
my face and extended my mouth several
inches."
With his eyes full of sympathetic tears, he
9 rose from the sofa, and replied, as he. made
towards the door?
"My angel, you are perhaps mistaken.
Probably, in the excitement of that awful moment,
you left your mouth down in the basement
and accidentally brought up the cellar.
We shall meet again in a better world. Adieu."

The Fun of the Farce.?It is related
that the manager of a theatre consented to
hear, in his sanctum, a young-man who had
an unfortunate hesitation in his speech, read a
short farce, the.sole cohdition being, that it
should not occupy more time than it took to
finish the cigar the manager had just lit.
Away they both started, the one reading, the
other smoking, but, as the mild 'Havana
reached its termination, the worse the young
author spluttered ; they finished together. Of
course the question was immediately put,
"What do you think of it?" "Well," replied
Mr. Manager, "it's not half a bad idea; father,
mother, lover, daughter, all stuttering,
will have a novel effect." The author, fu

returned the manager.

Not So Ignorant.?He sat alone in her ;
father's parlor, waiting for the fair one's ap- !
pearance, the other evening, when little brother
came cautiously into the room, and gliding
up to the young man's side, held out a
handful of something, and earnestly inquired?
"I say, mister, what's them ?"
"Those," replied the young man, solemnly,
taking up one in his fingers, "those are beans."
"There!" shouted the boy, turning to his
sister, who was just coming in, "I knew you
lied. You said he didn't know beans, and
he does, too 1"

might call a prolonged one that evening.

"The answer was three million five hundred

The superintendent then said to James, "Is

"No, sir," was the prompt reply.

"Twenty-six, sir."

A renowned clergyman lately preached
rather a long sermon from the text, "Thou

After the congregation had listened
about an hour, some began to get weary and

the annoyance of the minister. Another person
started, whereupon the parson stopped in
his sermon and said, "That's right, gentlemen
; as fast as you are weighed pass out."

SOW OATS. I
There is no crop whose cultivation will return
greater profits to the cotton planter than
the oat crop, and yet of all the products of
the Southern farm none has poorer attention.
Indeed, on many large plantations not an
acre is devoted to this valuable cereal. Even
when an attempt is made to sow oats, they
ire, as a general rule, sown upon the poorest
land on the farm, and seeded in the most
rough,and imperfect manner.
It is quite common to hear planters say <
that "oats do not pay," that "the crop is uncertain,"
and the like. The truth is that the
failure to raise large crops of oats is due to i
causes which produce failures in any other
crop, if effected in the same way and to the
same extent In the first place, planters who
fail with oats are always too busy to sow the >
crop at the proper time?they wait for a convenient
season. In the second place, they
are aiwujrs iu iuu uiuuu ui a uuuj tu
the land properly for seeding. And lastly,
they select the poorest land for this cropland
that will produce neither corn nor cotton?and
never think of assisting this poor
land either with home-made or commercial
fertilizers. Under Ruch circumstances it
would indeed be surprising if the crop did
not invariably fail.
Under our present inferior and expensive
labor system, we should seek to stimulate and
extend the cultivation of those crops which
will give the largest returns for the smallest <
amount of labor expended upon their production.
These are small grain, including
wheati rye, oats, barley, peas, clover and
grasses. *
On some soils?particularly on the flat,
sandy pine lands which lie along the coast
tier of counties in the Southern States, extending
as far up as the beginning of the
granite formation, wheat cannot be successfully
cultivated. Neither are such lands
adapted to the growth of clover or barley,
but wheat can be as cheaply and successfully
grown as in Virginia or Maryland. The oat
will grow and thrive on almost any soil, from
the low, flat lands of the coast to the rocky
hillsides and fertile valleys of the mountain
regions.
The best time for seeding oats in the cotton
belt is in the fall, but the oat is a hardy

last of February. It should be borne in
mind that a good crop of oats can only be secured
in the same way that a good crop of
other farm products are made, by thorough
preparation of the soil, careful seeding and
judicious fertilizing.
The land should lie cleaned of trash, briers,
bushes and the like, and then ploughed with
a good turning plow or a long diamond-pointed
scooter. By the latter, if the . land is free
from grass or stubble, and by the former if
rough and covered with vegetable matter.
A.fter the land is well prepared by thorough
plowing, the seed should be sown at the rate
if from three to five pecks to the acre. On
rery strong moist or wet lands a little more,
rhen harrow nicely and cross-harrow the !
tod, and if the land is open, porous and sandy,
nuch benefit will be derived from running a
leavy two-horse roller after the harrow. If 1
,he land is not sufficiently strong to produce :

We urge our planting friends to turn their 1
ittention at once to the preparatiou for a !
large crop of oats. The crop matures at a
:ime when the use of much corn can be 1
saved, and in our present condition of a short 1
supply of the grain, will prove a great saving

Selling the Old Farm.?There is a constant
buying and selling of farms going on 1
Tomyear to year in our country. This restessness
on the part of the farmer, and this 1
lesire to change a present location for anothsr
one, hundreds of miles off, is so frequently j
witnessed* in our day that we cease to wonder
it it. In the time of our forefathers, when a J
nan was settled on a farm, he commonly coninued
on it through life, and then left it for
lis son. In times gone by, the same farm was
irst occupied by the grandfather, and so on
ly the son and grandson. Then the good old
lomestead was reverenced and the occupaucy ,
)f it was esteemed a great privilege. There
was a satisfaction felt by the successor that
lis predecessor was his relative, cultivated the
tame fields, wandered by the same brooks, ,
traversed the same hills, and ate of the fruit
if the same orchard. Then there was a home
? ? h - ?n/l Katmq
eUilUg, UUU1C twsuuai/iuuo, auu uuujg c*uv?v/ii~
Bents. Now the farmer looks-more to his
pecuniary gains, and when offered a large
price for his land, hesitates not to sell. He ,
juits his beautiful home, his well-cultivated
acres, emigrates to the far West, and commences
a life of hardship that he never
ireamed of. It can safely be said that where
one man succeeds in this undertaking many
fail. If he could only sell his new farm how
gladly would he hie back to the old home,
now occupied by strangers, and the enclosure,
which contains the graves of his kindred, going
to ruin. With the advent of spring,
many will dispose of their farms and remove
to a far-off country, to undergo the privations
and troubles incident upon establishing a
home in a new country. Our advice is to remain
where you are. If you are comfortably
off, be contented to remain so. Do not exchange
a certainty for an uncertainty, unless
powerful reasons are brought to bear upon

Stick to the old farm, for it has never

Principles of Good Farming.?First?
The farmer who would succeed well, and derive
pleasure as well as profit from his calling,
must manifest an active and abiding interest
in his vocation. It takes heart-work
to make hand-work pleasant.
Second?The farmer must study how bess
to increase and maintain the fertility of hit
soils. There is no inertia in agriculture?
there must be motion either forward or retrograde.
Third?The farmer must strive to increase
the quality as well as the quantity of his
crops. It is the quality that determines the
price.
Fourth?The farmer must seek with a
watchful eye to improve his market facilities.
It is the transportation that eats up the
profits.
Fifth?The art of raising better stock is
not as well known as it should be. Keep no j
more animals than you have the facilities to |
feed and care for well.
Skth?The farmer must seek to improve j
bia social, intellectual and financial condition.
1P&T Van Amburgh could handle his lions
and tigers with great impunity. No animal
will fail to respond to kindness and uniform
good treatment. And especially will the
noble horse respect and confide in and faith- j
fully serve a muster who deals gently and
kindly with him. We have ourselves taken ;
a spirited Morgan mare which had been rudely
handled and become almost entirely un-!
manageable through harsh treatment, and,
by appealing to her intelligence and respecting
her needs, in three weeks' time made her
entirely safe and reliable for wife and chil-;
dren and all who would treat her kindly and
handle her gently, and we have after five i
years, seen the same mare resume her old
vicious habits as soon as under the control of
one who resorted to arbitrary or brutal treat-1
ment Always appeal to the better instincts
of the horse, the mule, the ox, the cow, as
.we)l as th? dog and other domestic animals,1
and they will never become vicious or un- j
manageable.?Semi- Tropioal. I

TAKE OUR ADVICE.
If husbands were always lovers, says an exchange,
life would be pleasanter than it is.
But they are not. They never were and they
never will be. a
Our advice to young women is like that of
Punch, when asked to say something to a couple
about to wed?"Don't."
"Don't what I
Well, first and foremost, of all thiDgs, don't
marry a drunkard. Depend upon it, if youcannot
keep him sober during those days of
the average woman's strongest influenee over
wayward men, the season of courtship, the
chances will be against success. Some women
have succeeded in this labor of love, but
there are 10,000 failures to qne success. It is
a field of missionary labor that very few of the
sex are fitted to enter. If Johp gets drunk
once a mouth while he is billing and cooiug,
depend upon it he will require semi-monthly
seasons of Bacchanalian recreation when he
becomes a Benedict. A man who gets drunk
is necessarily a bad or foolish man when he is
under the influence of liquor, and is very apt
to soon become a bad man whether'drunk or
sober. The romantic idea that a woman who
can reform a drunkard is deserving of a crown
of glory is all the veriest bosh. They would1
be shocked by the suggestion that a man-who
marries a fallen woman and restores her to a.
life of virtue would be deserving the praise of
all mankind. The latter would be a much
easier task than the former, and more likely
to succeed. The debasement in one case is
generally incurable, and scorns the influence
of kirfflness or affection; while in the other
the opportunity to escape from a life of degradation
would in most cases insure hearty cooperation
with the missionary in Buch a field.
But the drunkard, as is generally the case,
may be addicted to a number of other vices,
each one of which ought to be considered as
repulsive as that of drinking. Still we find
pure, virtuous, refined and delicate women
risking their lives and happiness in the delusive
hope of rescuing and restoring them.
Instances of the terrible failure in this missionary
field are to be found jn every street
and lane of a great city, accompaniment of
scores of the dissolute widows and orphans of
those who have staggered into drunkards'
graves. Still the experiment is tried by new
votaries, who foolishly think they can succeed
where others fail. It is a terrible delusion.
Love and devotion are powerless on a drunkard.
Nothing but an iron will and firmness
that few women possess can check the career

drink. He must become subject to her will,
and be restrained from his evil course by a
power stronger than love or kindness. There
are enough men who become drunkards after
marriage for all reasonable purposes of experiment,
without takilig them fully trained
in a career of vice and debauchery. Therefore
we say : "Girls, don't do it."
What Men Need Wives For?It is not
to sweep the house, make the bed, darn the
socks and cook the meals, chiefly, that a man
wants a wife. If this is all he needs, hired
help cau do it cheaper than a wife. If this is
all, wheu a young man calls to see a lady,
send him into the pantry to taste the bread
and cake she has made, send him to inspect
Lhe needlework and bed-making, or put a
broom in her hand and staBd to witness its
nse. Such things are important, and the wise
poung men will quickly look after them ; but
what thatrue man wants with a wife is her
:ompanionship, sympathy and love. The way
jf life has many dreary places in it, and mau
needs a companion to go with him. A man is
sometimes overtaken by misfortune; he meets
with failure and defeat; trials and temptatiyus
beset him, and he needs one to stand by
?.nrl avmntithizfi. He has some hard battles
to fight with poverty, enemies, and with sin ;
and he needs a woman that, when he puts his
arm around her, he feels he has something to
fight for, she will help him to fight; that she
will put her lips to his ear and whisper words
of counsel, and her hand to his heart and impart
inspiration. All through life, through
storms and through sunshine, conflict and
victory; through adverse and through favoring
winds, man needs a woman's love. The
heart yearns for it. A sister's and a mother's
love will hardly supply the need.
A Brave Boy.?When the young Alexis
of Russia, now visiting this country, was first
assigned to duty as midshipman, his, vessel
was wrecked off the coast of Denmark. The
admiral commanding resolved to save the
young man, and ordered him to take charge
of the first boat which put off from the doomjd
ship. The grand duke disdained safety
thus bought and declined. "My duty js
here," he said to the admiral, "and I must be
the last to leave the ship." "Do you not understand,
sir," exclaimed the admiral, "that
you are under my command ? Aud do you
dare to refuse obedieuce to ray orders ?" "I
know my duty," answered the midshipman,
"and I will obey any orders you may see fit
to gi#e me, except an order to leave the ship,
where my duty now commands me to remain."
The admiral gave up his point, and
Alexis was, as he had said he would be, the
last man to leave the ship, and after landing
was promptly ordered under arrest for disobedience
of orders. The grand duke submit
ted without a diurmur. The admiral sent
dispatches to the emperor detailing the affair,
and thd emperor wrote: "I approve your
having placed the midshipman, Alexis, under
arrest for disobedience, and I bless my
boy lor having disobeyed."
A Horse Trade.?When Abraham Lincoln
was a lawyer in Illinois, he and the judge
once got to bantering one another about trading
horses, and it was agreed that the next
morning at nine o'clock they should make a
trade, the horses to be unseen up to that hour,
and no backing out under a forfeiture of
twenty-five dollars. At the hour appointed
the judge came up, leading the sorriest looking
specimen of a horse ever seen in those
parts. Iu a few miuutes Mr. Lincoln was
seen approaching with a wooden saw-horse
upon his shoulder. Great were the shouts
and the laughter of the crowd, and both were
greatly increased when Mr. Lincoln, on surveying
the judge's animal set down his sawhorse,
and exclaimed, "Well, judge, this is
the first time I ever got the worst of it in a
horse trade!"
BSaT" Miss Linney, of Sacramento, was inclined
to marry Mr. Roberts, but she said
that she could not become the wife of a poor
man. She would wait a reasonable time for
him tn make a fortune, and whenever he was
in a condition to support her in elegance he
might claim her. He went to San Francisco,
embarked in mining speculations, and made
money rapidly. A few months ago he told
her that he possessed a hundred thousand dollars.
She said that the sum was satisfactory,
and mentioned a date that would suit her for
the wedding. Then he coolly told her that
he had changed his mind, and had no idea of
marrying her. She has sued him for breach
of promise.

The Dairy.?A farmer in the eastern
part of the State of New York, buried four
or five jars of butter, last summer, as an experiment.
He removed one jar the other
day and found the butter as nice and sweet as
the day it was buried. His plan was to get
a good sound jar, fill it with butter, tie a
cloth over the top, put in a layer of salt an
inch thick, and tie a strong cloth over the
mouth of the jar, and bury it four feet under
ground, mouth down.

v . CONDUCTED BY
REV. ROBERT LATHAN,
A CHRIST-BE A RE R..
."* *r.
Among the many legends of the early Christian
Churoh, there is scarcely one more beautiful
and useful than that of Christopber^the
giant saint. His form in the pictures, is that
of a man of huge proportions, with a long pole
in his bapdsrand walking through a flood,
bearing a'child on his shoulder. ,
The story of the ages is, that weary of the
world and sin, he went into the wilderness
aad dwelt in a cave near a rapid stream, and
spent his life in ferrying travelers across it,
taking them on bis back, and steadying his
step with the pole in his hand. By such a
life of self-denying labor, he hoped to win the
pardon of sin and that peace of mind which
he had never found in the world he forsook
for the solitude of the desert. Many and weary
was the burden he had borne, and hard
the struggle he had with the waves. But the
billows were more peaceful around him than
within him, for he was a soul thai, like the
sea, was forever tossed and "casting up mire f
t '% . H mi .fiji
ana airi. ine peuauceoi laauug, ur ux luu, s
brought do relief to his burdened spirit. The ?
river washed no stains of guilt from his heart. ?
Whoever came to the bank of the raging s
stream, found him willing to bear them over, ?
and the heavier the burdeu, the more swollen j;
the torrent, and the greater the danger, the ft
more willing was he to brave the perils of the f
vray, and land the traveler safe on" the other ^
side. And when they came to the*shore be- a
yond where he had his shelter, he saw them d
approaching or heard.'their call and went af- |
ter them, so ready was he always to do t|e 8
work he had set himself to do. - *
It was his own work, and it was a good [
work, but it did not help him in working out r
his salvation. '' ' " ' " ' 1
One night he was asleep in his lonely cave, j;
It was a dark and stormy night, and the river j
raged within its banks, and not a star lighted 1
the gloom of the desert. Above the roar of "
the waters, and the howling of the winds, he $
heard a cry of distress. c
It came from the other side. And it was ^
a child's voice. He had never heard the
voice before, nor one like unto it. He listened,
and this was what he heard: "Come, and ^
take me across the river." j
He was, for the first time jn this desert-life,
unwilling to leave his bed, on the ground, and *
go out into the darkness and storm and rush- .
ing stream. But into his hardening heart
there came the child's small voice, soft as a
flute, but piercing to the dividing asunder of
the soul and spirit, and this is what entered
his ear: >
"Take my yoke upon you and learn of me,
and you shall find rest to your soul."
Strange were the words to this giant saint,
who spurned every yoke and would not learn
of auy, least of all of one who spake as a child. /
But a new power pulled at his heart-striugs,
and he rose up with a strong purpose to obey i
the call. It was only a child, he was sure of I
that, and the work would be nothing to the 1
loads he had often carried across. * He would '
be doing no greit good to* bear a kittle child,
and it would not be much of a loss if it remained
on the other side, or perished in the
stream. But he would go, and take it up,
and hear i?, in prompt obedience of the voice
that he heard continually :
"Come, fur pay locks are wet with the rain,
and the night winds are cold ; come, come."
Out iuto the wild storm he went, and down
into the deeD and dangerous river: and on
the other side, when he had gained the bank,
he found standing there a child of wondrous
beauty, stretching out his hands and still call- 1
ing to him j.
"Come, come, take me on your shoulder? p
ray yoke is easy and my burden light." F
Around the brow of this speaking babe was
a halo, as if his head were crowned with shining
stars. The giant stood for a moment 611- q
ed with awe, and then kneeling at the child's
feet, and being yet too high for him to sit
upon his shoulders, he prostrated himself before
him, beseeching him to throw his little ^
arms about his neck, and cling fast while he c
would bear him safely through the waves. o
The storm had risen--^et more 6ercely, and
the night was darker, and the dangers of the
way more frightful. At times the strong man
staggered. His staff lost its hold in the stony
bed of the river. And rfow and then the
struggling saint, just ready to be swept away, ^
would hear a soft voice whispering in his ear : b
"Fear thou not, for I am with thee, be not fl
dismayed : I will strengthen thee, yea, I will
help thee, yea, I will uphold thee with the d
right hand of my righteousness." . t!
And in the storm without and the 6ercer ^
storm within his soul, these words, "My right
eousness," fell upon his spirit like a calm when
the tempest is overpast. Whose righteous
ness r ine same naa qeen goiqg aooui iu e?- 3
tablish bis own, he would have given his life t
blood to cleanse his soul ; but he had found ^
no rest; and now, just as he was plunging into
a deeper flood, and the current wds too e
strong for his stalwart arm and staff, he heard ?
the same sweet child-voice from the lips that
touched his ear saying: F
"When -thou passest through the waters, I 11
will be with thee, and through the rivers, v
they shall not overflow thee. For I am the f
Lord thy God, the Holy Ooe of Israel, thy
Saviour."
And then he knew it was the Lord! The a
fcoly child Jesus! He had taken him into ^
his arms, set him on his shoulders, bowed his ]
neck to his service, and with willing heart t:
and tender love had yielded to his yoke. This
child was now his Saviour. Cheerfully and ^
iff triumph he trod his way over, for now he
had found the Lord. "The Lord ray Righteousness."
Not ray own good works, but the ]
Lord. I took him and he proyed my salvation.

the giant, who, in saving another, had 8
found a Saviour. And the child gave biro a
new name, Christopher, which means ChristBearer.
Like the parables of the sweet gos- y
pels, some of these old legends have precious o
truths in them. *
It is ours to put on Christ. We may bear
about in our body even the dying of the Lord
Jesus; and so also his life will be roauifest in \
us. When we bear the burdens of others for ?
his sake, we are somewhat like him who took j
the load of our sins on himself. To do good
even to one of the least of his little children, f
is to do it unto him. And by and by, when
we come to walk through the last cold waves, j
Christ himself will be our bearer, his staff '
will stay our steps till we tread the shining
shore beyond.?Irenams, in N. Y. Observer.
Home Words.?Reader, you and I are
dying sinners. We cannot live always. Be- ]
fore long we shall be lyiqg in our graves. I
These are serious matters. They may well j:
make you feel grave. But cheer up. Have
you heard the good news ?
The good news is this: God has provided (
a glorious Saviour for us. His dear Son Je- 5
sus Christ died upon the cross for sinners. By .
his death he made atonement for transgression
and purchased a full forgiveness for the 1
ungodly. In a word, Christ has done all, ^
noiH til 1 anffftrprJ ur all that was needful to I -
reconcile us to God. He has provided a gar-j
ment of righteousness to clothe us. He haB j |
opened a fountain of living water to cleanse a
us. He has removed every barrier between ; :
us and God the Father, taken every obstacle 1 ?
out of the way, and made a road by which j ^
the vilest may return. All things are now M
ready on God's part. A complete salvation j "
has been provided. j /
But what is it that God asks for on the *
part of man ? How are the privileges of this i
great salvation to be made the sinner's own? c
What is the means by which you and I are ?
to obtain an interest in Jesus Christ? ! g
The answer to all these questions is short 1
and simple: "Believe on the Lord Jesus ^
Christ and thou shalt be saved." This is the ; r
good news. If
