kiser took as his morning text:
"For 1 hnov him, Mut he piW com.
maud his children and household after
him, and they shall keep The roy of The
Lord" He showed the Importance
of daily family worship as n means
OF Pleading the youth in ways Of hon-
esty, sobriety and truth. That it is
the duty Of Christian parents to teach
their children the true way, nd not
TO Lave il {" the child to choose for
himself when he shall have arrived
at an age of discretion. He thought
that it should be a standing rebuke
to every christian father who has not
n family altar, to know that among
the hcathcn every house has ITS
place of worship.

METHODIST CnrRc1I-.Rev. O. A..
/ nrhy preached at night from che
words: "Mcm ought ni~nys to pray"
He pointed out numerous example, 5
i'll scripture of The obedience Of this
command, viz: Daniel who observed

mountain top anil in the lowly vale;
Paul and Silas in prison It PHI illipi.
He explained that the word "men"
embraced the child, and the youth as
well as the adult. He believed that
the word ""lr"ys" in the injunction

with the beautiful thought Of WeSl cv,
that prayer is n spiritual res pi%ra,ion;
We breathe GU a prayer; we inhale a
blessing.
EPISCOPAL CHUEcn-Rev. l.. G..
Query preached from the words.
"M oil points tempted IKE as zee are
get riihont sim." The temptation of
our Lord is, a great mystery. In
order to comprehend it we must have
a right understanding of his human
nature. This was human nature in
its original %sinless condition. 1t
therefore had all the impulses Of our
>wn humanity. except the sinful pro
peEsty. Nor did his divine na,ure
interfere with his human in the exer-
else Of any Of it's functions, the two
natures being in themselves perfectly
distinct. The purpose of the teunp,a
ton ""s two.fold: First, to show
hat We also would be TEMPTED:
secondly, to effect our restoration both
TO the favor Of God and to holiness
of life. Christ's triumph over Satan
was not in the least BY the interposi-
ton Of His divine nature, but solely
in His human nature, and bv the
sustaining grace Of the Holy Spirit.

us. He has therefore set an example
for us. Temptation therefore sbo"ld
not be REGARDED us an evil, but as a
wholesome discipline. Adm yielded
to temptation aud fell; Christ resisted
and prevailed. Let US cndeavor by
the same grace to follow His glorious
example.
