chance in the next 'vorld'.    "Now: is the ?
only   time   (iod    promises   to   reconcile
•Himself   through   the   sacrifice  of   Jesus
Christ to a lost world.    If men will not
come to-Him  now! they  will  riot  come
later though ■a'; million.-chances' be offered.
The   Bible   gives   us -repeated   instances
of   the ' persis.tancy • of.-rejection' rather
than the gradual c!unge-of mind in favor
of the acceptance of  Christ.    As  years
advance,-, a   fixedness   of   purpose   takes
place which makes it  all but impossible
for a conversion iobc affected.    Prof. O.
R. Palmer, who took the 'morning, service,.
