* " KAHORE HE POKANGA

KETANGA. "

" KAHORE he pokanga ketanga: kua

hara katoa hoki, kahore e taea e

ratou te kororia o te Atua. "

Romo 3. 22-23.

Aue te mea taimaha hei akonga mo to

e ngaro o hara i te kanohi o te Atua tino

"NO DIFFERENCE. "

" THERE is no difference, for all have

of God"—Rom. ui. 22, 23.

nor your outward life; but whoever you

may be, you are included in the word " all, "

Word of God, which affects everybody,

even religious; but alas, you are a sinner.

Your sins are under the eye of a thrice-holy*

God. Have you ever owned to be, in His

presence ?
