has been gained at the expense of ability
10 preach the Gospel strongly and attrac-
lively. There Is so much heterodoxy cur
rent as TO the Office and duty Of minister
that one Is sometimes disposed to ask,
w hat Is the business of an ordained serv-
ant OF Jesus Christi would not exclude
from the answer to this question parochial
work, calling, organizing, etc, but would
put these things in a secondary position.
Before all else minister's business is to
preach the Gospel. OF course he can
preach ii by living it; but | mean some
thing more. He must expound the Word
of God. He must take the things Of
Christ and with all the force and elo-
quence at his commend carry them to the
heart and conscience of men. If be can
not preach he has no business to be
minister. Let him serve God in some
other calling"
The A9raRce says: 'Great is the differ
ence between preaching at people and, to
preaching to people Preaching at people
assumes that persons are as unseeing aud
unfeeling receptacles into which truth is
to poured as water is poured into pals.
Preaching to people assumes that they are
persons who appreciate and appropriate as
hoppers in the girls; mill, into which the
wheat runs, vlaich they are to convert into
the fine -four Of white character. Preach
ing at people assumes that people are an
| immovable target, at which the rifle of the
Gospel is to be directly aimed, and which
| if aimed well will hit Preaching to peo-
| pie assumes that they are as living game,
whose habits and movements are TO be
| studied. Presiding at people assumes that
people are steep precipice, the ascent of
| which may be made if muscle be strong
and head clear on the part of the climber !;
| they themselves have no part in the mat
ter. Preaching TO people assumes that
people are tender tree, the climbing of
which must be done with care and iudg-
ment Preaching at people is preaching
as if they had no reason, no conscience,
will. The revivalist is possibly more apt
to preach at the people than to the people.
The minister possibly is more given to
preaching to the people than at them.
Preaching at people may possibly in a
short season specially increase the list Of
converts. Preaching to people in the long
run results in the upbuilding of the noblest
character"
The Western Christian AdrOcdte Meth. }
says; "Christian people ought to be
marked by true refinement offeellng Our
religious life is an education in courtesy
and brotherliness, and a coarse and vulgar
man cannot be much of a Christian. He
may be saved so as by fire, but he is dis
qualified by his vulgarity for Christian;
that is, Christ-like influence. We ought
to try to be courteous. In this matter the
inner spirit and the outer conduct mutually
help each other. Effort in this direction
is the more needed because coarseness and
unkindness are all about us. 1t is in the
press, it is in politics, it is an the human
air we breathe. Let us try to be kindly
afectiened one to another. 1t is our call
ing, and it is our culture and growth in
the graces that give life its sweetness"

Stephen Powers in his description of the

two acorns split lengthwise into halves with

They are shaken in the hands and thrown into
a wide, fat basket. woven in ornamental pat

three whites, or vice versa. score nothing, two
OF each score one, four alike score four. The
thrower keeps on throwing until he makes a
blank throw, when another takes the dice.
When all the players have stood their turn the
one who has scored the most takes the stakes.
