Smith, D. D., of Philadelphia, preach
ed from Hosea 14:j.
In his opening remarks the speaker !
alluded 10 the Israel OF the old dispsn-
sation as being something more pitiful
than ths history Of the new. 1t was

brew to find in his form of faith all
nesdful help and comfort, and all pha
sss of evangelical hope and thought
we're brought to his mind. When
Nicodemus came with heavy heart at
night to the Lord and did not dare to
tell his SORROW the Lord with plain !
ness, which We would do well to EMU
late, told him he must bs born again.

that We can apply it to ourselves.
