a WRONG IMPRESSION.

EDS. REcoRD-UNIoN: In your issue of

preached by me on the previous day in the
forenoon, on the fact that ell sins, unrepented

to as "a illustration. l have Just heard to-
day that there are persons in the community
who thought I intended to compare those who
had been killed by the falling ,of the wall of
the Grand Army Hall two days before TO
Nero. Nothing was further from my thought.

that l would preach on the disaster in the
evening, and l reserved the treatment ard all

that evening sermon one of the points 1 made
was thai We were not to suppose that those
who perished so sadly were any greater sim
ners than others who were spsrsd. IF there
is snything which humane and tender
hearted minister shrinks from, il is from
being suspected of having the hsrdihood to
sit in Judgment on his unfortunate fellow.
