sylvania Baptist Ministerial Conference, held
at Montrose, the following minute was enter
ed upon the records of the conference:

Davis Dimock Gray has crossed the river and
is now at rest.
Having been man of exemplary piety,
an able minister, wise counsellor and most
genial Christian companion and friend, the
fragrance of his memory will cheer us on our
way. His place will be hard to fill. May his
example encourage US and make US stronger
for the work before u.s."

Why do not our preachers study oratorS ?
As preachers, not pastors, their business IS
TO work certain effect, and all help, To It's
production it should be a part Of their edu-
cation to learn. presume | shall not be
misunderstood TO mean the effect Of display
ing self and winning admiration for person
al gifts. What the true preacher seeks to
do is to inform the intellect with Christian
truth to stir the heart, and thereby ntlu-
ence the will. of his hearers. Half the ser
mons annually preached are 50 far as hu-
man insight goes, waste of labor and
breath Two things partly account for this :
one * that a majority of the men set to
preach are out of their real vocation-good
pastors they NAV be. but iii preachers they
are not another is that those with more p
tItude for preaching do notyet understand
the means TO be employed TO attain their
object.
Sometimes the preacher has some con-
ceptlon of the needs of human nature, and
knows that the truest truths fail to move
when put before men in u dull, dry way
perhaps he does his best to acquire good
style, and succeeds in making an ably
ten discourse. But when he comes into his
pulpit to give il to his people, where is the
impression it should produce What be
comes of his choice words, his considered
sentences? There they lie upon the page
he holds he proceeds TO read them. Why
do they fail of any result ? Ii is for want
Of delivery, Of the oratorical art of making
mere words tell" His faithfu effort goes
for little; he seems to his hearers to be
reading something to them, as he ls,-not
to be speaking to them from the heart.-Au-

The Age of the Earth.


The age OF the earth is placed by some at
FIVE hundred millions OF Years, BY Others
one hundred million years; and still others,
of later time, among them the duke of
Argyll, place II al ten million years. None
place 1t lower than ten millions, knowing
what processes have been gone through.
Other planets 90 through the same process.
The reason that other planets differ so much
from the earth, is that they are in so much
earlier or later stage of existence. The
earth must become old. Newton surmised,
although ne could give no reason for it, that
the earth would lose all its water and be-
come perfectly dry. Since then il has beeu
found that Newton vas correct.
As the earth keeps cooling il will become
porous, ard great cavities wlll be formed in
the interior, which will take in the water.
1t is estimated that this process is now i'll
progress, so far that water dImlnlshes az the
rate of the thickness of a sheet OF paper
each wear. AT this rate in 6,OOOOOO Years
the water will have sunk a mile, and in lj.-
OO0, 900 the water will have disappeared
from the face of the globe. The nitrogen and
oxygen in the atmosphere are also diminish
ing all the time. 1t is in an inapprecIable
degree, but the time will come when the air
will be so thin that no creature We know
could breathe it and live; the time will
come when the world cannot support life.
That will be the period of old age, and then
will come death.
