preached in tho above church yesterday by the pastor,
commend you to Cod The preacher dwct upon the
circumstances under which the apostle Paul had writ
ten these words He about to proceed TO Rome,
where chains and, possibly, death awaited him. But
he shrank not from the trial. being strong in the faith
of jesus Christ who and is the only foundation
upon which any enduring church can be built The
reason for the want OF vitality evident in the Unitarian
and Unversals churches was stated by the preacher
10 be the fact that they had not built upon
Christ their foundation. The juices and
nervous powers of the body were according
alone as was connected with it, The vine root sup
piled sap 10 the branches but only to such branches
directly Joined TO the root No true progress In
goodness Is possible, except TO those who are united
by faith to Christ All apparent progress outside Him
Is faaccus. Stress laid upon the fact that union
with Christ would make naturally loving, forbear
ing, consderae, forgivng. The development OF these
thoughts led the preacher into outbursts OF fervd in
vectve against those whose lives not marked by
these Christian qualities After tho tho retir-
ing entered into review OF his relations with his
congregation during the year OF his ministry among
them His social relations, he said had been pleasant
