lie next gave learned exposition OF the character
OF Paurs epstles. They contained the counsels or
eternity; deep deep truths, the plans anu purposes
OF tne All Holy One. In Romans the iaen conultlon
ol man was described with q MASTER han1, ana the
whole theory OF redemption was skctched In man
ner which bore the impress OF divine inspiration
~ every line In Colossans the abstruse doctrine OF
e er r and the mediator al once OF Cnrs,

FREE UNDER THE GOSPEL.
, ~ ,ne Ephesans lie presented the same truths ana
duties as In Romans, but there was greater
philosophy so rampant In our city pulpits at this
moment was fairly treated OF by Paul in his writings
now crowned IN crude aud unchaste speculative
theology by those who unheeded this warming. The
Tne.salonlans We're favored with prophecy: and SO
on through the epistle TO the Hebrews, Titus aud
Timothy.
The Apostles style Of preaching was bola ana
frank. He dscoursed with Felix, who was given TO
lust, on temperance, Righteousness and the Judgment
to come. And. en- pdssdnt, he would say that tenn
perance meant proper control oneself in the use
OF things lawful. With Festus Paul was so graphic
and pointed that the governor said TO hlm:-''fnou
art beside thyself. Much learning doth make thee
mad.n Other apostolic men were treated likewise,
sometimes AZ wicked, sometimes as mad. Knox
was treated ike partridge upon the mountains OF
Scotland. Wesley aud Whitfield were deprived OF
their pulpits and mad TO preach In the pubic nigh
ways Spurgeon was at frst called 1.-THE pulpit buff
toon." Congregations were frequently penna me tne
age. They were like old rustic farmers-iNp van
Wnkles-who drove their wagons In the old 'ruts' y
though they might, by a small change, drive the
same route easier peasanter safer ana as snort oy
getting OUT OF the rut. Here
A auRMUR or SUPPRESSED AND sUBDUED APPLAUSE
went through the church, and some OF the ELDERS
looked as II they could burn those who joined III tho
demonstration.
The preacher then briefly and gracefully alluded
to his severance from the congregation, ascriDeu 10
70 ignorance and Ill treatment and freely expressed
the opinion that those who Joined that movement
consccntiously would live to regretlt.
OUTSIDE THE CHURCH
quite crowd assembled and discussed the situation
very vigorously. Many ladies and gentlemen ex-
pressed Gndsgused regret. Several old idiots, with
southeast and northwest and having other strong
marks OF the handiwork OF bad scrofula upon them,
condemned drinking ''gin aud mlkn as immoral.
GLOW can we tell our children to live sober II they
see us drinking gin and milk ~ cried wiseacre.
