Criticising the Preachers.

The Rev. f. Stry ker gives to the public
a remark shat was make to him by learn
ed legal friend and which conuainez
criticism which is very general in its
application, and one which the preachers
would do well to remember. Said the
lawyer 70 the preacher: Did 1 believe,
as you do, that the masses of our race
are perishing in sin 1 could have no rest
[ would fly to tell them of salvation. l
would labor day and night. | would
speak with all the pathos 1 could summon.
[ would warn, and expostulate, and
entreat my fellowmen to turn into Christ
and seek salvation at His hands. / am
astonished at the manner in which the
majority of you ministers tell your mes
sage. Why, you Go not act as if you be-
leive your own words. You have not the
earnestness in preaching that we lawyers
have in pleading. If we were as tame as
you are, we should never carry a single
suit" 4 decade of years has passed away
since that remark was made. 81 bless
God it was made to me. It put a fire in
to my bones which L hope will burn as
lons as | live. God preached stirring
sermon to me that day by the mouth of
that infdel lawyer" said the Rev. Stryker.

Through the Snow.

The pathway on loves radiant summer day
is where the roses clutter round thy way.
But tits on wintry days, when true HANDS
meet.
To cling in pressure close as it is sweet
It's then there is more need of loves strong
arm
To safely guard and keep you from all harm
Let others share thy Hfe's glad summertime,
But let me, through the snow, walk by thy
side.
