Rev. Addison Moore, of the Wood

large congregation yesterday after
noon on 1.-THE Ideal Gospel taking as
his text, Romans l., 16: For am not
ashamed of the gospel of Christ"
The word gospel said Mr.. Moore,
has come to us directly from the An

sources. it follows that there are many
gospels-as, for instance, the gospel of
nature, as set forth by rocks and rills,
by sun and stars, and laws that reign
in nature. There is the gospel of sci

and all the classified details of the

philosophy, as formulated by the meta
physicians, and gospel of the body.
as declared by the medical fraternity.

their inexorable DEGREES, and shroud
the soul of man in gloom because of
the terrible power which gives them

whereby men shall be made sons of
God, indeed, sharing His secrets and
dwelling under the refuge of His love.
