he-will receive a artby body lil. that of the first Adain." That which is born of the flesh, is flesh ; <strong>and</strong> that whichii born of the spitit, is spirit '' (<strong>John</strong> 1 : 6).In the cme of the Church, it b the h e r intentions,<strong>and</strong> the efforts put forth as the outcome of these intentions,- which reprosent the character of the m w n1d~t8. <strong>The</strong>imperfections of thought, word md deed, which are notwilful, but are the result of our <strong>org</strong>anism rendered imperfect-ugh the Fall, am covered by the righteousnessof God in Christ Jesus.
