CHRIsT's PREACHING "A correspondent o.
the Congregationalist thinks that there is
lack of practical preaching nova days
that minis e's do not stand on the same
plain with their hearers-'what people
want is not theology theological, but theo-
logy vitol,' adding, by way of illustration:
How did Chlist preach the Gospel? He
forbade family quarrels. He warned His
heaters agaibst the evil practices of the
scrbes and pharisees. He bade no cue
dare TO come up to he temple to worship
until be had paid his just debts. He moi
only eGjolped upon them not 10 commit
sdultry, but told them what the first step
in adultry was, that they might shun it,
lie talked to them about their families and
their lawsuits, and their habit of borrowing
lie told them how they should accost peo
pie 10 the streets, what they should give
away, and how they should give III; how
they should pray, and how they should keep
Fast dey. He told them just how religion

tions. He bade them not to backbite o.
slander. He warned them against preach

With nature and the jealous gods,
And dnres the dread recoil which late
