THAT Speak of purpo e, "in order th a t.' ' WHOSO V R Mean ' 'all , everyone." hri st tas ted eath for every man, all, everyone Heb. 2: 9). The bibli cal view of the tonement is that hri t died for every ndividual who ha ever been born or hall ever be born. Mr. Moody ai d , The elect are the who oever wil] and he non-elect a rc the who oever von ' ts.' ' BELIEVETH Means " to place trust in," " to rely 1pon," "to cling to."
