—Youxo Mge's GIMISTI•7I .---a:1•2102.—0n Sunday
evening the Iles. IL Moule, Vicar of Fordington, preached
a sermon to the members of this association and the Good
Templar, in connection with their district lodge meeting.
For his text the rev. gentleman selected two paesaJes of
Holy Writ—Galatians v. If, 'Walk in the Spirit and ye
shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh," and Psalin cxix.
" Wherewithal shall • young man cleanse hi, way? By
taking heed thereto actording to Thy wont." The preacher
directed attention to the solemn judgment pronounced
against those who fulfil the lusted the flesh, and directed
them to the Holy Spirit as the only influence that could
restrain and guide thou aright. They must take heel to
their ways. according to God's Word. Thin did not mean
joining this or that church, agency, or association, though
such organisations might be helpful and • means of grace
if they led to the diligent study of the Word of God and
dependence on the Spirit revealed in the Scripture.; but
the Word—the whole Word—must be taken as in lamp to
their feet and a light to their path. The Spirit alone
could make that Word effectual to their souls, awakening
them from self-satisfaction and vague hope that seine dac
