He Was q - Ccrt,i, -" Man.

A preacher, who had great "liberty,r
was preaching from part of the thir
tieth verse of the tenth chapter of Luke
"A certain man went down from
Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among
thieves" He opened his discourse thus:
MY bre thren, the Bible is a very won.
derful book. Itsays so much in word.
Now, there is very little said here about
the character of this man that fell
among the thieves; but l know just
what sort of man he was. And, first
he was sober man; secondly. he was
a punctual man; thirdly, he was an in:
dustrious man; and, fourthly, he was q
married man. And 1 learn all this
about the man from one single word
that the Bible says about him: it says
he was . certain man. Now, we all
know that there is no certainty in q
drunkard, there. is no certainty in man
who is not punctual to his engagements,
no certainty in an idle loafer, and there
is not one of these, bachelors in forty
