A svery interesting and instructing
sermon was preached at the North Con-
gregational Church last evening by Rev.
DIR. T.. Z. Moore on the text "Neverthe-
less will we let down the net" The
preacher dwelt upon the faith shown by
the Christian in his acts and his deter
minstion no matter how many times he
is disappointed in what he undertakes to
do as the text said, to let down the net
again. This constant effort, this faith
which preceded II, he claimed was worthy
of commendation and oven though at the
end there should be not great success as
the world measures it, still there would
be success of character. An eloquent
picture was then drawn beween the
glories and earnestness OF private heroism
In comparison with public and more
talked of efforts.
"Most of our life" concluded the ora
,or, sis one great Nevertheless, and
when success comes we are led TO think
that il is due to some special effort on
our part whereas II IL but the result OF
the same soft faithfulness that we have
put in practice perhaps thousand times
before.p
