STRAISING FOR GREAT SERMONS
The Puritan Recorder thinks that if the
getting,u pof great sermons requires much
straining, it is not best to strain . the
small preacher trying to be great seems
ridiculous. Ifone can write great ser
mon at all, lie can write it easily. But
the gift is rare.
The ability to preach truly great SER
mons, is exceedingly rare. Thousands
come no nearer to having it, than think
ing that they have it. If he has rot
the ability; he can, at least, strain. The
face Of the one, like that of Moses ascend
ing from the Mount, shines, but he knows
it not. The face of the other is Iiyid
with the blood OF great effort. a strain
ing at greatness, makes littleness not
only conspicuous, but ridiculous. 1t in
yites and justifes severe criticism and
always gets it.

HANDLE Them CAREFULLY-A
gentleman just returning from a western
country, informs US that a little bow.
three years of age, in Clarkson, riding
upon load of straw, fell to the ground.
and suffered the fracture of leg and an
arm. In Grence little boy of the same
age sleeping with his parents, got up in
the night. On returning to bed, his faith
er carelessly tossed him into the middle.
The child cried out with pain, and would
not be pacifed. The father supposing
the boy had no occasion for his outcries.
punished him. He ceased crying, but
continued to sob and moan through the
night. In the morning it was discover
ed that the child's arm was broken. The
father was so distressed by this Incident.
that he was nearly insane. A young
mother, residing in the this city, visiting
her friends in Orleans county, was lead
ing her little girl of three into the house,
on Saturday last, and the child preferring
to remain out of doors, hung back. A
jerk of the arm by the mother, not in
tended to do any injury, dislocated the
infants elbow joint. 1t may be doubted
which felt the keenest pain, the mother or
the child. Handle the little ones care
fully. A slight wrench may cause a
lifelong lameness or observation-disclosures
