ADDRESS OF REV. W. II. COLLINS.
The sermon, by Mr.. Collins, was from
the text. "Be We also ready, for in such nm
hour as We think not. the son of man
cometh. st. Matt 24:44 We give syn
opsis only of the discourse.
After abiding TO the three-fold inter
probation placed upon these words of
Christ. the preacher confined himself TO
the individual application of the text as re-
lating to the necessity of a right prepara
ton of mind and heart on the part of man

is no security. Maturer years bring us
nearer to the end, and Old age proclaims
swift departure from earthly scenes The
fact that the greater portion of mankind
fail to acknowledge their true condition
and neglect the concerns OF their immortal
souls, was dwelt upon at length Men too
often waste their time and strength upon
"things seen and temporal forgetting
