The hour for morning service having ar
rived, the Rev. George Miller, pastor of
Grace NJ. Z. Church, Wilmington, Del The
preacher selected as the topic of his remarks
Isaiah 90" And His name shall be called
Wonderful" There were over three thou
sand persons facing the preacher during his
remarks He said that prophecy showed
its truth by its realization in history. In
the text we have a prediction, uttered more
than 1900 years ago. This prophecy has
been fulfilled in the name of Jesus of NaZa-
reth, and his name shall be called Wonder
full. Whatever may be the surprises of the
future, the name of Jesus will never be sur
passed. Christ's system is truth, and like
the diamond among the precious stones 1t
is pure rs crystal, emanatins from the
throne of grace. Jesus of Nazareth stood
at the summit of human aspirations, higher
1o
the angels. The name of Jesus in the ref
ormation of character is wonderful The
name of Jesus reaches every character in
life, whether educated or not, high or low;
gives consolation in sorrow, and y hope that
blooms in Immortality.
