Come ono, como oil
Rev. l. w. Wingo preached tho best plai,,
common sense sermon in tho Baptist Church
hse Sunday that we have heard in yoars.
His toxt was: lie TINT beliovoth and is ban.
tised shall be saved; but he that bolieyoth
not shall be damned" lIo drow the dividing
line between tho lost and saVed, belief being
the line. A thoral walk can save no man.
Itwt'ue. tho fruits Of belief will bo obedience
and godiy walk, not, however, because tho
latter have any concern in tho salvation of
the soul. Perhaps we appreciate the sermon
more highly because it met our views fully,
we cannot, however, 60 into tho subject withs
ont being too lengthy.

accepted, and will deliver the address before
lie Literary Societies Of Adgor College on
