the royal group about what ho will
do with. the spoils of tho victorer he
is going to achieve that afternoon.

Or whether they be como out for

no doubt, one of tho ''greater
works" of which Christ had spoken
(John xiv, 12), and they proved
thoir sincerity by continuing stead-

and in prayer (John viii, 31). This

of the Lord Jesus, and through one
of the weakest of earthen vessels;
There was nothing of man in it. The

(Mark xvi, 20). The great resurrec-
