gramme had decided to defer the reading OF the

ing, he believed that the preacher who could stir the
people hearts TO an Appreciation Of the divine truths
being expounded did the work OF the pulpit and that
wherever the life OF Christ held up before an audi
in such manner that hearers hearts were moved
By the great truths that involved the savours
love for men there was noble work done and such
work as IL was the duty OF the minister to perform.
