DIR. Mills based his discourse entirely
upon reason, aud treated the subject OF
Christianity practically, frequently quoting
statistics referring TO the advance of civil
lied and Christiauized nations, and the re-
tarded growth OF the unciyilzed and un-
ChIistianized.
The text was chosen from Deuteronomy
xxx 10:
Therefore choose thy life that both thou
and thy seed may live"
Every man, ne asserted, must choose his
path in lite, whether for good or bad. He
deprecated the fat that the present gener.
alton was governed too much by worldly
Influences, and that the first question asked
was, docs it pay?" Christianity, he said
certainly did pay in the long run, not only
spiritually. but in other ways.
Various members OF the congrega-
tion were requested to state their
views and experiences. One gentleman. now
a wealthy business man in this city. attrib-
uted his success in life solely TO Christian
ity. he had attended Sunday-schoo in his

but died within quarter of a mile from
the spring that would have saved his life
had he reached it. Now was the time to
reach the spring of God, he said. and delay,
however short, might result In spiritual
death.
DIR. Mills cited a number of Instances In
practical life in which the choosing of the
right path in time had prevented the wreck
ing of lives and secured happiness and con-
tentment for men. A number Of those pres

Professor Huxley's collection from the

What Professor Huxley brings in, in fact.
is "a verdict OF not proven taking
refuge IN the agn0stic confession which ap-
pears to me to be the only position for
people who object to say that they know
what they are quite aware they do not

even of theology outside that patronized
by his own narrow school, poured forth,
from the sale intrenchmelt of the pulpit
invectives against those who deviated from
