the facts therein recorded and thus made known and we have nn sure proof that ood is love there fore tho people who accept tho lilbla doctrine that ood is lovo and then go on drawing inferences from that fact tliat contradict other plain declarations are most unreasonable and illogical since ood is love any one who does not love does not know ood jesus christ is the supreme manifestation of the love of ood cod manifested his love that li put it in visible form in jfeiiis christ mrst of all by sending his only begotten son into the world tliat won wondrous condescension ai gods part this
