I jiropuHo to review Bomo of Brother JolniHon'H reniarkH, as publiHlicd in tho Gospel Herald, prenent volume, JNo. 40, on "Tho BoHurreetion."

It, wuH alrto neecHHury that he Hhould uriHO from tho deuil, tbatro- iientaneo and remiHHion of huih,Hhould be jiroached in his name, among all natiouH—and that he Hhould enter in¬ to luH glory, even that glory that ho liiid with bin ,Father belbro tho world WiiH, ami bring lifo and immortulity lo light, through the goHpol.
