HOW TO HEAR A SERMON.

MANY volumes have been written on
the science of homiletics, delineating
various methods of presenting the word
of truth to the people. and giving ex-
plicit directions to preachers for the
proper performance of their pulpit du-
ties. Equally important is the science
of hearing. for there are hundreds of
hearers to every preacher. and the sue
cess of preaching is dependent, in a
great measure, upon the manner in
which it is heard.
1t is plainly taught in the parable of
the sower that preparation Of heart is
necessary to faithful hearing of the
Word. As this preparation is from the
Lord, according to Proverbs 10, /, it
must be obtained at throne of grace.
Ii rs important then that the nearer az
we'll as the preacher should go from hi,
knees to the church. Sturgeon says we
get just what.wc go to church for. and
only those who go to the house of God
with hungry hearts may come away
with the happy experience Of the pro-
phet, saying: Thy Word was unto mt
the JOY aud rej oicing of my heart
We must. then. hear wiM prayer
fm heart. Go to church praying. and
while there let the spirit of devotion
engage your thoughts, and the truth o
