Or to some spiders den be led
And on his gibbit swung;
But he who says his mixture dire,
Wiiicause a bedhug to expire,
Must be the most astounding liar
That ever went unhung.

PULPIT AND PLATFORM,
wILLIsroN CHURCH.


Last evening Rev. l.. III. Hallock began a
series of lectures which promises to be of
great benefit to those who listen to them if
we may judge from this first one. The speak
er began by saying that this course would
be "eminently evangelistic," and we judge
that he understands by that teaching men to
so live, day by day, that the world will be
better for their lives. The subject of this
first lecture was, s'Why do you call me a
sinner" Sermons to sthe good" always
have hearers but sermons to sinners
glance on and hit no one; for taken at their
own estimate there are no sinners. 1t is easy
to say. unanimously, 'sWe are all poor miser-
able Sinners but try to show one man his
faults and see what you will get.
There are neither sins nor sinners in soci-
ETY. now but instead of sin is fun instead
of lying and cheating are evidences of good
business ability, instead OF stealing there is
financiering; instead of the awful sin of TN
belief and infdelity is the liberal man, pro-
gressive; instead of men being dishonest
nowadays they are just little fast, Tive
In good style, DC. BY soft words the skele-
ton is clothed with rosy flesh till it appears
beautiful. But soft names do not change the
character of sins or sinners.
The speaker then defined sin, showed its
source, its concealment, and its fruits, and
called several things by their right names.
Men who are honest and upright toward
men, may be great sinners against God.
Next Sunday evening the subject will be
What ought to be done with criminals?"
