 ments shall  be  saved,  but  they  who  shall  not  believe shall be  condemned."

Brethren, believe  and  do. Have a  firm  faith  in this  great  mystery  of  three  persons  in  one  God,  and a lively  appreciation  of  the  favors  each  has  conferred upon you. But above  all  things  see  that  your  faith be reflected  in  your  life. Try to  imitate  the  allpowerful  Father  by  doing  all  in  your  power  for  Him; try to  imitate  the  Son  who  died  for  you  by  dying  to the  world  for  Him;  try  to  imitate  the  Holy  Ghost, the Spirit  of  love,  by  doing  all  you  do  for  God  out  of pure  love. Then will  the  Trinity  bestow  on  you  its threefold blessing,  the  greatest  of  all  blessings,  the blessing I  wish  you  all,  this  morning;  that  the  Father may guard  you  with  His  paternal  providence,  that the Son  may  enlighten  you  always  to  know  the  way of salvation,  and  that  the  Holy  Ghost  may  ever  draw you nearer  and  nearer  to  Himself  in  the  bonds  of  His eternal love.
