doubt ni oil ha have to time the r re ot of Paul Ie He has touched upon up the keynote ot of our r the cornerstone It ma may be r te of principle ol of revelation Th Thia Church II bul built that limit principle It I had its Ita origin through that principle and Ind I up to 0 the through I It arid and wl d do until Christ shall cc come It I is II a cause or of continued woner wonder to tomar t mar many h the are arc 1 so unite united Id and I so easily 1 gOverned We 1 have 11 been accused or of bing being deluded bUM because of our oneness lii In this respect We is have done one ser r IOn many thin things thai I hive ben been sery ery strange In the eyes erl of ci observer an and the they have attributed I tat our being deluded But Dut the rl real eu mute has hns bi been that the people blee believed In and received revelation While an Paul was speaking It II occurred to me that our g great t move manu Illustrated most mOlt perfectly thu II Iii Illinois we were threat threatened ened W by our enemies with destruction were erp made to the governors of oft 01 t various SIal States and the they were asked ke i If We e could find nd a home within their borer borders There Thre WB wa only one who ho condescended to reply I ble believe It ii was the governor ot of Arkansas Whit What ere the people to 10 I do They wore e en by their enemies nn nod threat enod with
