the Word WAS with God, and the Word

The sermon was d powerful and in
dctivc argument upon the divinity o.
~ Christ The preacher laid stress
oyuu the fact that a man must believe
that Jesus Christ was God or that He
was wicked. wilful impo-tor. There
WAS no logical tcuable halfway ground
There was no man who knew the mean
ing of His words better than Jesus Christi,
and his testimony was either to be ace
copied or utterly repudiated. II Christ
was not God Tie was not good; even Mr..
Ingersoll would not assert that IL Wa
not good.
THE MORNING SERVICE.
quite A large congregation attended the
noon service yesterday. when Dean Bar

he is. and that Cod does not care SO
much for the actual work "a man has
done. but for the work he has tried 20 DO
He urged upon his congregation tho
importance Of fidelity, and stated that a
mans responsibility was i'm accordance
with his gifts. and his praise IN accord
