I. GNOSTICISM AND AGNOSTICISM

when that which is perfect is come, that which is in
part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake

that I am become a man, I have put away childish
things."- -I CORINTHIANS xiii. 9-1I.

II. UNION WITH CHRIST.

not bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no
more can ye, except ye abide in Me. I am the vine,

him, the same bringeth forth much fruit; for without
Me ye can do nothing."-JOHN xv. 4, 5.

of righteousness.”—Romans ix. 30, 31.
