the novelty of the statement that leads us to incredulitv it may or may not be true there are some things however that appeal to us as worthy of our belief and there are some people wnose words we do not doubt in the least but paul brings be fore us a statement.^wbich he says is ture and it is not only true but worthy of all acceptation one f the annoy ing things in reading the dailv papers is that there is so pouch contained thtt has no particular interest tj up but we are compelled to peruse a great dear of matter to reach the news which is in teresting to us very little of the news published is interesting to all people ' ' paul says his statement concerns all people on the earth or who will be born into the world that christ jesus came to save sinners christ thus becomes the
