In the early days OF Methodism
y young Methodist preacher held forth
At one of the work-houses in Great
Britain. He vigoursly denounced the
doctrines of foreordination and election.
A pious old woman brought up in the
Calviuislic faith of the Presbyterian
Church, was asked what she thought
of the sermon. She shook her head
vigorously: Il don't believe word
ont" said she, sat all events know
the Lord chose me ~icre he ever saw
me, for he never would have chosen
me afterwards.

Men sometimes object to tho
doctrine Of the depravity Of mankind.
But the strongest teachings Of the
Bible aud Of the pulpit are more than
confirmed by their own actions-by
the conduct oil the world itself. Every
bolt and bar and lock and key, every
law-book and court Of justice, every
chain and dungeon and gallows, pro-
claims that the world is depravcd
aud sinful race.
