Five tons of printed m atter, present

Isa,
Ami in the New
Testam ent we are warned not to sub
stitute the traditions of men for the
com m andm ents of God. When Peter
preached th a t tiiemornhle sermon and
three thousand were converted, he
had studied the Hcriptures and used
them, ami if the people would do the
same today, there '«tou I f be a revival
that would astonish Christians them-
selves, and converts who carefully con
sulted th a t volume for directions
would not t>e puzzled as to which
church to join. More prayerful study
of ti'sl s Word and less attention to
what tilts one ami th a t one says will
do a good deal to unite people in "One
