Sermons are often judged by strange
standard, and are called great" ;" fine" "pow-
eriul,' &C., when they are utterly deficient
in gospel truth, and have in them no element
of power to rouse the conscience or save TIE
soul. The Ladies Repository gives an anec-
dote in point:
"Years ago, when living at Princeton,
New Jersey, there was man remarkable for
his fine preaching talents: that is to say he
could frame elesrant sentences, and speak
them from the pulpit with grace and dignity.
Iccollect his preaching on certain special
occasion. There was great crowd out, and
when the sermon was over. | walked home
with group Of theological students, among
whom was a quzzical but somewhat thought
ful Yankee named p. Tie sermon was
praised as being exceedingly fine by all ex-
cept p. AT last he was pressed for an opin-
ion, and coming to q dead halt, he abruptly
exclaimed, The sermon, gentlemen, was fine
very fine-as fine, indeed, as chafF-but.
gentlemen, it would take a cart-load of such
sermons to convert even the soul of mus
quito = After that, there was no more talk
about fine sermons. There is a moral to the
incident, but leave that for you and your
readers to draw"

TOR, is holding up a lew pictures true to life,
